‘One Piece’ chapter 979 release date, spoilers, leaks: Tobi Roppo could replace All-Stars; Why Kanjuro arrives late in Onigashima

Things are starting to get more exciting as “One Piece” chapter 979 leaks suggest fans could be seeing the Tobi Roppo in action very soon. Meanwhile, it is finally revealed why Kanjuro is arriving late in Onigashima despite traveling by air.

‘One Piece’ chapter 979 leaks: Kaido lets Tobi Roppo challenge the All-Stars

The complete introduction of the Tobi Roppo, aka the Flying Six, is one of the most recent surprises in the manga series. The next obvious thing to happen is for fans to witness how powerful they are, although not against the protagonists yet. Kaido comes up with an ingenious way to let the Tobi Roppo get in action in “One Piece” chapter 979 while also showing off to Big Mom.

These are all related to Kaido's son. It can be recalled that the Yonko was looking for him in earlier chapters. Now, “One Piece” chapter 979 leaks suggest that Kaido will instruct the Flying Six to find his son. As an incentive, he will allow them to challenge the Beasts Pirates' All-Stars once they fulfill the task.

When that happens, Kaido wants the competition to take place with Big Mom – donning a kimono – watching them. “One Piece” chapter 979 raw scans also indicate that if the Flying Six defeats that All-Stars they can replace the latter in the Beasts' chain of command.

‘One Piece’ chapter 979 spoilers: Kanjuro arrives in Onigashima; Luffy, Kidd enter Kaido’s mansion

When chapter 978 was released, some fans had one question, "Where is Kanjuro?" Kaido and Orochi's forces were unaware of the infiltration of the pirates and samurai alliance, which meant that Kanjuro has not arrived yet in Onigashima.

The “One Piece” chapter 979 spoilers explain that this is actually Kanjuro's first time going to Onigashima. He got lost, despite traveling by air on a bird he drew, and purportedly lied about looking for Hiyori. It can be recalled that Kanjuro also has Momonosuke as a captive.

Kanjuro's arrival might not be the biggest highlight of “One Piece” chapter 979, but it could play a fairly significant role. The same spoilers say Luffy's and Kidd's crews have already entered Kaido's mansion without being caught. Their luck might run out now that Kanjuro is already on the island.

‘One Piece’ chapter 979 release date

The hiatus before the release of “One Piece” chapter 979 has been a little longer than usual due to the Golden Week holiday in Japan. But official channels indicate that its official translation and digital copy should arrive on Monday, May 11 through the websites and mobile apps of Manga Plus and Shonen Jump for free.
