What can we expect? (spoilers)
Due to Episode 1019’s focus on the first half of Chapter 1004, it is likely that Episode 1020 will begin by adopting Chapter 1004’s final four pages. Black Maria will try to persuade Sanji to call Robin, and Bao Huang will reveal that the Scabbards’ hiding place has an extra visitor.
First, 11 pages of Chapter 1005 are likely to be included in the episode, with the eleventh page serving as an appropriate ending point for the show.
As punishment for Sanji’s stubbornness, Black Maria lashes out at him in the first few pages of the issue with her bare hands. As footage from the battlefield and the reactions of bystanders to Sanji’s appeal for aid are shown, he finally gives in and asks for Robin’s help. In the beginning, we see the responses of Chopper, Bepo, and Hawkins, and then Jinbe, who’s who, Franky, and Sasaki as well as Marco, Nami, and Usopp. The Straw Hats’ emotions are divided, although they appear to be careless about their colleague. Despite Sanji’s request for Robin, Black Maria refuses to let him leave. The Devil Child shows up just in time to lay down Black Maria just before she’s going to use corporal punishment on him once more. The episode is expected to finish with Robin’s comment about the devil half of her emerging, leaving the remainder of the chapter for the following episode.
To sum it up
The next Straw Hat vs. Tobi Roppo clash will be set up in One Piece Episode 1020, which is sure to be thrilling. Despite the fact that some fans have judged the Sanji and Black Maria moments needless and unpleasant, their reward will be celebrated this weekend when the episode airs. Due to time limits, the anime will almost certainly include battle sequences for one of the forthcoming bouts. It is also possible that One Piece Episode 1020 would instead adopt the entirety of Chapter 1005, although this is less likely.
