Major developments in the Wano arc is expected to be revealed once the manga series returns with “One Piece” chapter 925. Kin’emon is expected to finally meet Ashura Doji while there are speculations that the second powerful samurai and ally to Oden is sitting very close to where Luffy is.
Several weeks before the release of “One Piece” chapter 925, Kin’emon gave some history lessons about Oden where the Boy Ashura was first mentioned. Later, Kin’emon said that Ashura is one of the three samurais — each worth a hundred warrior — they need to recruit in order to win against Orochi.
Fans now know that Shutenmaru is Ashura Doji. And with Ashura Doji’s identity fully revealed, the next expected development for his character is meeting Kin’emon. Will Shutenmaru join the Kozuki men and their allies to overthrow Orochi and Kaido? So far, all clues suggest he would most likely collaborate with them, possibly in “One Piece” chapter 925.
Shutenmaru already declined Kaido’s offer to be his subordinate, which could mean that Kozuki’s principles are still embedded to him despite going back to being a thief. After seeing Luffy using the same Haki as Oden, he seemed reminded about his ally and it could lead him to decide to fight with the remaining Kozuki men in “One Piece” chapter 925.
Needless to say, there are many storylines happening in Wano arc at the moment. But finding the three samurais appear to be one of the most important plots. As Kin’emon emphasized before, he particularly wanted the rest of the alliance members to find these swordsmen. This leads many to believe that “One Piece” chapter 925 will introduce the second samurai that used to be Oden’s ally.
When Luffy was brought to Kaido’s prison, he was thrown in the same cell with Eustass Kid — which was already expected by many fans. But the surprise was the introduction of a masked character in another prison cell. It is now speculated that “One Piece” chapter 925 will confirm he is another one of the samurais that allied with Oden 20 years ago and will help the Kozuki family to reclaim Wano.
The manga series went on another break after Kaido defeated Luffy. “One Piece” chapter 925 will be released through the Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #52 on Nov. 26.
