One Piece Chapter 1034: Release Date, Delay, Discussion

The latest chapter of One Piece was chapter 1033, titled “Shimotsuki Kozaburo.” Kozaburo was the man who forged Enma, a sword that chose Zoro to test his strength.

Zoro doesn’t realize it at first but soon figures out that the sword draining out his Haki wasn’t a bad thing.

He seems to have finally figured out the formula to defeat King and become the greatest swordsman. We also find out how the wrinkly old man who gave him his swords as a kid was none other than Kozaburo himself.

With his awakened strength, will Zoro finally defeat King and prove himself to everyone? We’ll find out in chapter 1033 of One Piece.

1. Chapter Raw Scans, Leaks

The newest chapter 1034 titled “Queen vs Sanji” will showcase the fight between Queen and Sanji where you will see Queen finally using his hidden abilities. Queen uses all of his Germa 66 in a bid to prove that he is better than Judge Vinsmoke. His hidden talent includes Ichiji’s “Sparking Valkyrie”, Niji’s “Henry Blazer” where the Queen covers his whole body with electricity and stretches his neck to catch Sanji.

Other abilities such as the limb extension and the final “Invisibility attack” that stun Sanji. During the fight, Sanji gets a surprise when Geisha named Osome enters the room where they were fighting.

Queen also remembers the Geisha as he tried wooing Osome after Komurasaki died.

The chapter ends with Sanji successfully landing the final blow on Queen. Prior to the attack, Sanji outdoes Queen’s invisibility attack with his high-speed maneuvers. Sanji also didn’t shy away from using a new attack on Queen called the “Demonic Attack”.

2. Chapter 1034 Discussions and Predictions 

This week’s chapter was entirely focused on Zoro vs. King. As King continuously attacked Zoro, the monster remained unscathed. Just as he was about to lose it all, Zoro’s mind wanders back to the past, where he realizes how he was the only one suited to wield Enma.

As this dawns upon him, Zoro channels all his strength and readies himself to face King once and for all.

The next chapter will most likely continue Zoro’s battle with King. That or we might see Sanji vs. Queen. Since the last two chapters focused on King and Zoro, the next chapter could show us Queen’s real strength and how Sanji could overcome it.

Chapter 1033 opens with Enma unleashing all its powers as an exhausted Zoro exclaims how it wasn’t time to do so just yet. King lands in front of Zoro and pauses, confusing Zoro about his next move.

The swordsman seizes this opportunity but falls right into his opponent’s trap as King explodes just as Zoro strikes him.

As the explosion booms, we cut to Queen and Sanji in the pleasure hall. Queen laughs triumphantly, boasting how Zoro is no match for King. He explains how King’s ancestors are the now extinct Lunarians, who were once worshipped as Gods. King is a monster capable of surviving in any environment.

Irritated, Sanji asks why are the Lunarians became extinct if they were so great. Queen roars and replies that he should look it up in a history book if he wants to know. He then gets ready to launch a laser attack.

Outside, Zoro barely manages to save himself from the explosion by using his Haki as a shield. The blast causes a lot of damage to him, but King still seems to be unharmed. As the two continue fighting, Zoro tries to use Enma again, but it still drains all his energy out of him. King mocks him, claiming that it is the first time he’s seeing a swordsman being held back by his sword.

He attacks him again, making the nearby cliffs collapse and Zoro lose balance. Zoro loses his grasp on Kitetsu but manages to grab it just in time. As the sword comes back to him, he imagines Sandai Kitetsu and remembers when he first received the sword.

King uses this distraction as an opening and kicks Zoro, stating how foolish it was to risk his life for a sword. As Zoro lands, he sees Wado Inchimonji and is relieved that it didn’t fall off. He then reminisces how he vowed to become a great master swordsman known even in the heavens.

As he recalls his past, he also remembers that Tenguyama once told him how Wado Inchimonji was forged by Shimotsuki Kozaburo, who also forged Enma. Just then, a question comes to him suddenly. Why would there be a Wano sword in some village of the East Blue?

His pondering is cut short as King bombards him with Imperial Slings and Arrows, asking if he got all his swords back. Zoro continues to defend himself as his mind wanders back to a conversation he had with Momonosuke. Momo tells him that he was not allowed to say the word “Sunacchi.”

We see that an elderly man was living in East Blue who often sat by the shore. After the man died, Zoro found out that he was Kuina’s grandfather. Also, he remembers Tenguyama telling him that Shimotsuki Kozaburo left Wano illegally 50 years ago.

Zoro then thinks about his childhood, thirteen years ago. He remembers an old man telling him that “Sunacchi” is a magical word that summons immense strength into one’s heart. A young Zoro doesn’t seem to care about that questions the man if he is a real samurai.

The man tells him to hush, or the navy will invade the village, and doesn’t reply. Annoyed, Zoro resumes practicing his sword-fighting skills as he admits that he cannot beat Kuina. The older man gives him his sword, telling him that they aren’t valuable for him anymore.

He tells him that swords are like kitchen knives, except they’re made to kill people. Swords also have personalities, and it is the task of a swordsman to master it and bend it to his will. After thinking about it a little more, Zoro realizes that Enma chose him as its master to test him.

A sword doesn’t play tricks and is honest, and it is his strength couldn’t match Enma’s caliber. Zoro thinks how Oden wielded Enma as if it were as light as a feather even though it drained an enormous amount of Haki from him.

As the realization hits him, many of King’s subordinates surround Zoro, but he crushes them in an instant. Looking at his new determination, King asks him if he intends to be a king.

Luffy pops up in his mind, and Zoro puts on a confident smile, confirming how he intended to keep his promise to his captain and best friend.
