To be Expected (speculative)
First of all, the title of One Piece Episode 1041 hints that it will centre on Yamato vs. Kaido and Franky vs. Sasaki. It’s probable that the first battle will take up most of the programme, despite the fact that Franky is a fan favourite. However, as Franky is in the title, his battle will most likely be shown prominently. An update on Otama’s gang, who are now on the run from different Animal Kingdom Pirates fodder, is also on the way for fans. This, however, might end up helping them by bringing more Gifters over to their cause.
In light of the recent recalculation, Luffy and his comrades are in a considerably stronger position as outcasts, with 16 thousand Beast Pirate allies compared to 9 thousand Kozuki clan allies. Lastly, a further update on Luffy’s position is likely to be shown in One Piece Episode 1041. Since Yamato and Kaido would be conducting the brunt of the combat, it’s possible that they’ll bring up Luffy’s name or accomplishments during the checkup.
