It’s hoped that this weekend’s release of One Piece chapter 1052 will provide additional light on the current situation of the Wano arc. It’s not uncommon for fans to assume that the Wano’s arc is through, but there are many who think Kaido and Big Mom aren’t finished yet. By Tuesday, June 7, One Piece chapter 1052 spoiler material should be ready. The next spoiler revelations are anticipated to give light on the current state of the tale with respect to the Wano arc’s finale. It’s time to have a look at the current release details for One Piece chapter 1052, & speculate on what may be in it.

What can we expect from this situation? (speculative)
One Piece chapter 1052, as previously indicated, will be a watershed moment in the Wano arc. It’ll show where the tale is now in relation to where the arc will conclude. It is expected that two major events and sequences will take place in the upcoming issue. An instant pick-up from the previous chapter, with Kaido and/or Big Mom still alive after their initial loss, is option number one (s). It’s possible that each Yonko will take a different course of action if they survive, but the problem is likely to set the stage for whatever they do.
Because of his character and his desire to preserve control of Wano, many fans believe that Kaido will rise again to battle Luffy and the samurai. The popular belief is that Big Mom will betray Kaido by using the Soul-Soul Fruit to steal his life force and then fleeing with her own life saved. The beginning of a celebration for Wano’s liberation and the defeat of Kaido and Big Mom is another scenario that readers of One Piece chapter 1052 are most likely to see. The Straw Hats are expected to be the centre of this issue, as Momonosuke and the Scabbards dominated the previous one (they will likely be present, just without a focus on them).
Additionally, the finding of Kaido’s Road Poneglyph, which enthusiasts think is hidden in Onigashima, would be implied by this development. As long as the island is intact, Robin should still be able to decipher the Poneglyph, which should still be on the mainland.
There is a good chance that One Piece chapter 1052 will disappoint some fans while also delighting others in the situations described above.
Fans are split on whether or not this means the end of Wano’s long story arc, while others are disappointed by how easily Kaido and Big Mom were defeated. One of the greatest disappointments in Kaido’s character, according to fans, is the lack of a backstory. This fuels anticipation for Kaido’s return in One Piece chapter 1052.
