The last page of “One Piece” chapter 959 reveals the Silhouette of Kozuki Oden from 39 years ago. This suggests that the next chapter will retell Oden’s journey. The latest chapter also hints that chapter 960 will reveal Oden’s involvement in the closing of the border of Wano to the outer world.

Based on the latest chapter of “One Piece,” we learned that the world government continues its attempt to penetrate Wano despite the current setting with CP-0. There is a possibility that the closing of the country is not only due to issues with resources. Within Wano is an artifact from the void century that poses a great threat to the world government.

Fans might learn a lot of history in "One Piece" chapter 960 as it will recount Oden's journey almost four decades ago. http://gematsu.com/

The latest “One Piece” chapter also mentioned that Wano would open its boarders once again when a ‘world-shaking’ event takes place. Some fans believe that the tern ‘world’ could be referring to the world government. Oden was with Gold. D. Roger, during his journey to Raftel and promised him that he would open Wano once again to the world. This could also mean that we might see Gold D. Roger in “One Piece” chapter 960.

Since the flashback encompasses almost four decades of Oden’s journey, some fans think that it will cover between six and seven chapters all in all. “One Piece” 960 could show us the time where Oden was thrown out by his father. It could also retell the time when Kuri was made a proper region of Wano.

Oden meeting his wife could also be featured in the upcoming chapter of “One Piece.” It would also be interesting to see Oden’s journey with Whitebeard and later on with Roger. Moreover, the flashback could include his return and probably the last five years before he met his death, along with Orochi’s betrayal.

One fan theorized that “One Piece” chapter 960 would perfectly fit with the recent chapter if it features the citizens wondering about Mikoshi. So far, it is not yet confirmed whether the alliance and Star Hats were adjacent to the ships when the bombing happened, so it is hard to draw conclusions. Meanwhile, watch out for the official release of “One Piece” chapter 959 on October 21.
