One Piece Chapter 987: Release Date, Discussion, Read Online

The adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew in search of the legendary treasure – One Piece, have been serializing chapters for over two decades.

This 900+ chapter series is often regarded as the King of Manga because of it being the highest-grossing manga for a decade.

One Piece released chapter 986 on Sunday, titled “My Name.” So, it’s time to discuss the release date, scans, and other details for chapter 987.

1. Chapter 987 Predictions

Chapter 985 showed a major revelation – Kaido’s new plan to use Wano as a natural fortress for waging war against the entire world. This has massive implications to the storyline and will certainly define the next few years of the series.

I. Ace’s Flashback

During the Paramount War, we found out that Ace had been to Wano. During the first act of Wano, we found out that Tama had met Ace during his stay in Wano. And now, we find out that Kaido’s “Son” had also been in contact with Ace.

This could be a great time to switch into flashback mode and watch Yamato narrate Ace’s visit to Wano for Luffy. This will shed some light on their relationship, and the reason why Whitebeard hadn’t helped Oden during the turmoil in Wano.

II. Kaido’s Family

Yamato’s face was seen for the first time in chapter 984. He claims to be Luffy’s ally and he says that he has waited for Luffy “all this time”. We also found out that Yamato has been imprisoned on Onigashima by his father – Kaido, due to his strong admiration for Kozuki Oden. 

There is definitely more to Kaido’s past with Yamato and bits and pieces of information will surely be scattered throughout the Wano arc in relation to it.

III. Momonosuke’s Execution

Momonosuke is currently about to be executed in the Performance Floor of Onigashima’s Skull Dome. Nami and her group have already reached the platform and have been captured by Big Mom. Robin, Jinbei & many other members of the Rebellion Army are present as well.

Chapter 986 ended with the Red Scabbards & Izo barging in from the back and going straight for Kaido. While there is no way that this is how Kaido dies, it marks the official start of the war as the attack on the King has begun.

Momonosuke’s execution was used as a great reason to bring everyone in the same location for this war to finally start. It is likely that Shinobu will use her Devil Fruit powers to decay Momonosuke’s execution stand and take him to safety.

2. Chapter 987 Raw Scans, Leaks & Spoilers

Raw scans for Chapter 987 of the One Piece manga have been leaked with a breathtaking and hot cover page:

The upcoming chapter will show the beginning of a full scale war between the alliance of two Yonko and the rebellion army fighting for Wano’s dawn.

The chapter starts with Kaido having a flashback about Oden’s final words – “Don’t underestimate Wano’s samurai,” as he falls off the execution platform. The attacks from the Red Scabbards fail to pierce him at first, but after a sudden influx of Ryou, the scabbards manage to stab Kaido’s torso & hand.

After Kaido falls to the ground along with the Red Scabbards, Yamato makes his way to attack him. However, he is stopped by Ulti. Yamato announces that he is no longer an ally to the Beast Pirates.

Big Mom, who is just watching from the sidelines, asks Luffy if he is here to defeat Kaido. Luffy replies by saying that he is here to take them all down – Kaido, Big Mom & Orochi. This is an all out war!

Meanwhile, Nami & Carrot break free from Big Mom’s homies. We also see that a war has broken out between the rebellion army and the Beast Pirates. Kid, Zoro & Law can be seen taking out dozens of Kaido’s men. At the end of this segment, Marco is seen alongside Perospero, who has allied with his cause for the moment.

Kaido finally gets up, and we see blood leaking from his mouth. He tells the Red Scabbards that he will show them the true power of the Worlds Strongest Creature. In an epic scene, Kaido transforms into his dragon form and flies up to the roof with the Red Scabbards clinging to his body.

The chapter ends with Kaido facing off against the Red Scabbards as Nekomamushi points out that the full moon is visible!!!

6. Chapter 986 Plot

It starts off with all of the Red Scabbards reuniting at the back entrance of Onigashima. After a brief reunion of Kin’emon, Izo & Denjiro, we see Kanjuro laying on the ground with blood around his body as the Red Scabbards enter the castle.

Orochi’s subordinates quickly switch their allegiance to Kaido, afraid of the power they have to face otherwise. Kaido asks Momonosuke about his identity as he cannot believe that this is the same boy from 20 years ago.

Luffy, still on the run with Yamato, breaks open Yamato’s handcuffs and throws them aside incase they explode.

Back at the stage, Kaido gives Momonosuke a chance – he asks Momo for his name, and says that if he admits that he isn’t the son of Kozuki Oden, he will be allowed to live. This leads to an epic moment where we see Momonosuke’s growth as a character. Even in the face of death, he says

“I am Kozuki Momonosuke, son of Kozuki Oden and I will be the Shogun of Wano.”

As Kaido is about to execute Momo, Yamato’s cuffs blow up and cause a massive explosion. Seeing the size of the explosion, Yamato says that Kaido is no longer his father.

The Red Scabbards enter the Performance Floor. Izo shoots King’s sword off his hand, and the others charge at Kaido as they yell “Sunacchi” (a samurai call to calm one’s heart in front of a great danger).

In an epic spread, we see Kawamatsu block, King, while Inuarashi blocks Queen & Jack. Nekomamushi is stopped mid-air by Kaido’s hand. Kin’emon and Denjiro are the only ones who actually reach Kaido. The chapter ends as Kaido & the Red Scabbards fall off the stage.

7. Chapter 986 Cover Page

Apart from the main storyline in the manga chapters, One Piece also advances the storyline by featuring scenes around the world in the form of cover stories.

Chapter 986’s cover continues the Gang Bege’s OH MY FAMILY cover story. In a surprising turn of events, Lola & Chiffon refused to believe that Pound is their father. They set sail without him!

While this is unexpected, this points to the story tying back sometime during the Elbaph Arc. It is possible that we will see Big Mom herself admit that Pound is their father before they have a joyous reunion.

8. About One Piece

One Piece is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It has been serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since July 22, 1997, and has been collected into 96 tankōbon volumes.

The man who had acquired everything in this world, the Pirate King, is Gol D. Roger. The final words he said at the execution tower were “My treasures? If you want it, I’ll let you have it. Look for it; I left all of it at that place.” These words sent many to the seas, chasing their dreams, headed toward the Grand Line, in search of One Piece. Thus began a new age!

Seeking to be the greatest pirate in the world, young Monkey D. Luffy also heads toward the Grand Line in search of One Piece. With his diverse crew joining him along the way, consisting of a swordsman, marksman, navigator, cook, doctor, archaeologist, and cyborg-shipwright, this will be one memorable adventure.
