KEY POINTS

  • "One Piece" Chapter 974 is scheduled to arrive on Mar. 15, 2020
  • The upcoming "One Piece" chapter might linger a little longer on the flashback and might show Kyoshiro and Hiyori plotting against Orochi
  • "One Piece" Chapter 974 might show how Kyoshiro and Hiyori faked the latter's death

“ One Piece” Chapter 973 unmasked the identity of Kyoshiro, the mafia boss working under Orochi. It turns out that Kyoshiro is living a triple since he is Oden’s scabbard Denjiro and the Witching Hour Boy. The upcoming “One Piece” Chapter 974 might show more about Hiyori and Kyoshiro and perhaps their plan of avenging the Kozuki clan and freeing the Land of Wano from the bondage of Orochi and Kaido.

“One Piece” Chapter 974: More Flashback

The upcoming chapter of “One Piece” is expected to show more flashbacks that would slowly transition readers from the past to the present timeline. “One Piece” Chapter 973 left the readers with Hiyori growing under the protection of Kyoshiro (Denjiro), revealing Hiyori’s identity as the adult Komurasaki. Oda might linger on this theme a little but would most likely tie the event to the current timeline of the Land of Wano, which, based on the present chapter, is no longer about Oden.

A Reddit user predicts that “One Piece Chapter 974 will begin by showing Kyoshiro and Hiyori and their schemes to deceiving Orochi. The upcoming chapter of the Manga might even explain how they planned and faked Hiyori’s death. The current chapter of the Manga tied a lot of loose ends in the arc, including the death of Lady Toki.

Toki’s Ode To Wano And the Straw Hats

On her final moment at the Kuri castle, Lady Toki recited her ode to Wano, which predicted Orochi and Kaido’s fall. There is a new theory about the nine shadows that Oden’s wife said in her ode. The general belief is that the nine shadows who will free the land of Wano are the scabbards; however, one fan thinks otherwise.

Reddit user Nas7eef believes the nine shadows might be the Straw Hats pirate. At present, the crew is missing one member, Jinbe. That leaves us with Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Robin, Franky, and Brook. But, it seems that it would not be happening anytime soon in the Manga. “One Piece” fans might see these things unfold in a few chapters more.

“One Piece” Chapter 974 will arrive on Mar. 15, 2020.
