Happy New Year and Exciting Predictions

Happy New Year! As we step into 2024, the anticipation for the next chapters ofONE PIECEis palpable. With the arrival of a special New Year illustration video from Eiichiro Oda, fans are buzzing with excitement. This year, the illustration features Luffy and Momonosuke, celebrating the Year of the Dragon in a dazzling way. The tradition of receiving a New Year’s illustration from Oda has become a cherished moment for fans, and this year’s video adds a new layer of excitement.

2024’s ONE PIECE Outlook

As we look forward to the new chapters, the serialization is set to kick off on January 6th with a color spread. The day before, a sneak peek will likely be released, heightening the anticipation. It seems we are on the verge of transitioning from the past arc back to the present timeline. The New Year’s color spread is titled “Future Island Arc Super Climax,” hinting at significant developments ahead.

In my opinion, Chapter 1110 will mark a pivotal moment in the story. The Future Island Arc is expected to consist of around 50 chapters, with approximately 7-8 chapters remaining before we transition from Egghead Island to the next adventure, likely around March. Overall, we can expect around 30 chapters this year.

Key Points to Watch

• The Island We Might Not Visit
• The Battle for the Treasure
• The Unexpected Fight Between Two Characters

As we move beyond Egghead Island, the next destination appears to be Elbaf. However, the mention of “considering routes we might not take” raises questions. Could there be an unexpected twist in our journey to Elbaf?

The Island We Might Not Visit

With the legendary Iron Giant awakening, it seems the safest escape route for the Straw Hat crew from Egghead Island will be through the skies. The Iron Giant, which previously attacked Mariejois 200 years ago, holds many mysteries. It could potentially lead Luffy and Dr. Vegapunk to a location tied to ancient energy secrets.

The Battle for the Treasure

The “treasure” in question likely refers to the Road Poneglyphs. The race for these Poneglyphs has already begun, and with three copies in hand, the Straw Hats are in a unique position. The only real competition for them would be the “Man with the Burn” if he possesses the last Road Poneglyph.

The Unexpected Fight Between Two Characters

The “two characters” likely refer to the new emperors of the sea. The outcome of their battle could be surprising, especially if one of them is not an emperor. However, it seems unlikely that the emperors will face defeat. The battles may unfold throughout the year, but we might only see the beginning of these conflicts in 2024.

As we dive into 2024, my greatest hope is for an epic showdown between Shanks and Blackbeard, followed by a clash between Dragon and Saint Figarland Garling. The stakes are high, and the potential for unexpected outcomes adds to the thrill.

Conclusion

With so much to look forward to inONE PIECEthis year, the excitement is undeniable. Let’s enjoy reading and speculating together as we embark on this new chapter!
