One Piece Chapter 1026: Release Date, Delay, Discussion

One Piece chapter 1025, titled “Twin Dragons,” was released on Sunday.

So far, although we got a glimpse of Momonosuke in his dragon form, we have not seen his human form after he aged. Since Shinobu was crying, I’m pretty sure Momonosuke is the caricature of his father, Kozuki Oden. 

In the latest chapter, Yamato was being overpowered by Kaido. Then as we all expected, Luffy finally joined the battle just in time. Not just that, Momonosuke established his presence as a dragon that can even rival Kaido.   

Therefore, let’s discuss the release date, scans, and other details for chapter 1026. Stick around for more updates on One Piece.

1. Chapter 1026 Release Date

Chapter 1026 of the One Piece manga has been released on Sunday, Sep 26, 2021. The chapter title has not been leaked yet.

I. Is One Piece on Break This Week?

Yes, One Piece manga is on a break this week. The series will continue in the Weekly Shonen Jump after the break.

2. Chapter 1026 Predictions and Discussions

From the events that occurred in chapter 1025, I think it is safe to assume that for the time being, it is going to be a three vs. one fight against Kaido.

Luffy and Yamato will definitely be the key factors that will help achieve victory against Kaido. 

Yet, I don’t think we should ignore Momonosuke. The only reason why he could be a liability is that he still does not know how to use his devil fruit powers. 

I’m sure he will have a significant role in this decisive battle, yet no one else except Luffy will be giving the finishing blow. 

3. Chapter 1026 Raw Scans, Leaks

Raw scans for Chapter 1026 of the One Piece manga have not yet been released.

These scans usually surface on the internet 2-3 days before Sunday’s weekly release day. The scans will probably be released by September 24, so be sure to check back.

4. Recap of Chapter 1025

Chapter 1025, titled “Twin Dragons,” starts with Luffy forcing Momonosuke to fly all the way to the roof where Kaido is currently present. 

He mentions that Kaido will destroy everything and take everyone out if they don’t get there soon enough. 

Luffy kept taunting Momonosuke till Momonosuke involuntarily started flying. 

Since Momonosuke just aged into an adult using Shinobu’s devil fruit powers, he still does not know how to control his dragon form. 

To make things even worse, he is scared of heights, yet he is flying. Due to his acrophobia, he is flying with his eyes closed, crashing into whatever comes his way. 

As he unknowingly proceeds to the roof, he goes through multiple floors of Kaido’s castle and puts everyone under the impression that Kaido is going on a rampage. 

They then realize that it is not Kaido as the color of the dragon is different. 

Momonosuke finally opens his eyes and regains a bit of control. They finally see Kaido on the roof, and Luffy tells him to crash land there. 

Meanwhile, Kaido and Yamato are battling it out, and Kaido keeps telling Yamato that the samurais would never accept her no matter what she does since she is his offspring. 

He tries to get her to back down, but she is not ready to give in. Yamato prepares to deal him with one of her powerful attacks. 

Unknowingly she syncs her attack with Luffy’s Jet Culverin, and they both damage Kaido. 

Luffy thanks Yamato for holding Kaido back, but she is in shock to see Luffy riding a dragon. 

The episode ends with Kaido taken aback as Luffy is not dead, and he tells Momonosuke that the world does not need two dragons.
