Typical Events (speculative)
The teaser for One Piece Episode 1045 has three separate battles, suggesting that this would be a very action-packed episode. Killer vs. Hawkins, Sanji vs. Queen, and Raizo vs. Fukurokujo are three such examples. Perospero is also seen engaging in combat with an unseen foe, hinting that he will return to the conflict. In contrast, it’s possible that the episode’s opening may centre on Robin and Brook after they’ve defeated Black Maria and her minions.
This has been one of the toughest battles Robin has fought in a long time, so it’s only natural that she would want to take a break afterwards. In addition, new opponents may appear on the island sooner rather than later due to the existence of CP0. And after last week’s episode, in which Momonosuke begged Shinobu to age him so he may assist get the Straw Hat back, viewers should expect some indications concerning Luffy’s location. Whether or not Shinobu would comply with her lord’s requests is uncertain, but Luffy must return to Onigashima, and this seems to be the best way to accomplish so.
