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 1000+ 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 1003 on Sunday, titled “Night on The Board.” So, it’s time to discuss the release date, scans, and other details for chapter 1004.
1. Chapter 1004 Raw Scans, Leaks & Spoilers
Raw scans for Chapter 1004 of the One Piece manga have been released. Chapter 1004 is titled “Mullet Dumplings” (Kibi Dango).
Chapter 1004 takes a break from the fight going on at the rooftop (just when Kaido transformed of course) to show what’s been happening everywhere else on Onigashima.
We see Speed, who is still under the control of Tama, handing out Tama’s Kibi Dango to Kaido’s forces. Many expected Tama’s Kibi Dango to play a big role in Onigashima, but Oda threw us a curveball by showing Speed and her underlings being the one distributing the dumplings.
We flashback to a while ago, and we find out that O-Tama made it to Onigashima on Speed’s boat (which makes a lot of sense) and the whole time, Tama pushed her limits to make as many Kibi Dango as possible. With every one new that falls under Tama’s control spreading the dumplings, very soon a huge chunk of Kaido’s forces will change sides.
The chapter switches to Franky vs Sasaki which is going on in full heat. After they exchange blows back and forth, Nami and Usopp come charging towards Franky with many of Kaido’s men chasing them. In a hilarious turn of events, every single person chasing them is actually under Tama’s control and following them to aid Franky!
As Ulti and Page One were also hunting for Nami and Usopp, they show up at the scene as well. Nami hits Ulti with a Thunder Lance Tempo (the same attack she used against Kalifa in Enies Lobby).
The scene shifts to Sanji, who is still Black Maria’s captive. He stands true to his ideals and refuses to kick the women. Black Maria tries to talk Sanji into calling Nico Robin, but Sanji replies with a warning – Don’t Underestimate Nico Robin. (This pretty much confirms Robin vs Black Maria)
The chapter ends as Bao Huang discovers the Red Scabbards lying half-dead in the treasure repository. We see a mysterious silhouette trying to help them.
Break next week 🙁
2. Chapter 1004 Speculations/Predictions
Chapter 987 officially kicked off the war on Onigashima. With the declaration of an all out war against Kaido, Big Mom, and Orochi, Luffy drew a lot of attention to himself. Since there is a lot going on at the same time, it is more than likely that we will see parallel storylines instead of just one.
I. Kaido’s Hybrid Form
Luffy, Zoro, Kid, Killer, & Law arrived on the rooftop of Onigashima epicly in chapter 1001. Facing off against the Yonko in front of them will not be an easy task, even though they outnumber their enemy.
This fight will be one for the history books and it officially began when Luffy made Kaido eat dirt with his Gear 3 – Red Roc! They’ve been trading blows back and forth since the fight began, almost making Kaido seem not that big of a deal.
The true power of Thousand Beast Kaido will be revealed soon with his hybrid form. This fight is far from over.
II. The Three Minute Countdown
Chapter 996 revealed that O-Tama hitched a ride on an enemy ship to travel to Onigashima. On the same page, she specifically asks Hihimaru to hold off Page One and Ulti for 3 minutes.
While this can be passed off as nothing, it is very likely that after these three minutes are up, an important reveal will be made. The reveal will probably be related to the enemy ship which Tama boarded.
III. New Onigashima
Chapter 997 showed Kaido using his devil fruit ability to lift up Onigashima to ferry it into the Flower Capital. Since the Flower Capital is bursting with joy, if Kaido lands there with Onigashima, a lot of casualties will happen.
It will be interesting to see how the Straw Hats battle against Kaido with the lives of Wano citizens at stake.
IV. O-Tama’s Devil Fruit Prowess
While some people might have forgotten about her, O-Tama still has a big role to play in the upcoming war.
Her devil fruit allows her to have complete control over animals and Zoan devil fruit users who eat “Kibi Dango” made from her cheeks. Coupled with Usopp’s sniping skills, Tama may be able to control a huge chunk of Kaido’s forces against him.
It is more than likely that she was the looming figure behind Robin and Jinbei in chapter 979.

5. Chapter 1003 Plot
The chapter starts by continuing the epic Gear 4 Kong Gattling attack. After dozens of rock hard blows, Luffy punches Kaido’s face into the ground. As a consequence of using so much power in the last few chapters, Luffy reaches his limit and needs to wait for 10 mins before he can use his Haki! A really terrible situation.
Taking advantage of Luffy’s helpless state, Big Mom goes in for an attack with Prometheus, however, Zoro pulls Luffy out in the nick of time. While Kid and Killer go in to attack Kaido while he’s down, Law lands a “Counter Shock” on Big Mom.
Before Kid or Killer can do anything, Kaido rises up and swirls at such speeds that it creates a tornado. In this tornado, Zoro loses grip of Luffy, who then ends up in Kaido’s mouth. Zoro uses “Santoryuu: Kalasutra Great Dragon Twister” and actually cuts through Kaido’s scale armor! Thus, successfully rescuing Luffy from Kaido’s jaws.
Kaido responds with a Dragon Twister of his own, which sends wind slashes flying in all directions. Fortunately, no one gets hurt.
The chapter transitions back to the war, where we see that CP0 has arrived in Onigashima. There, they find out that the rebellion army has lost 400 out of 5400 fighters, while Kaido’s army has lost 3000 out of 30000 fighters. Showing every Straw Hat Pirate matchup in this war, they talk about how this war won’t end even if Kaido and Big Mom are defeated. Unless every single Straw Hat pulls their weight and defeats a commanding officer, there’s no hope.
As the chapter ends, we shift back to the rooftop. KAIDO HAS FINALLY CHANGED TO HIS HYBRID FORM!!! (we just get to see a silhouette) and both Yonkou are finally starting to have fun in this fight.
6. Chapter 1003 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 1003’s cover shows a Reader Request – “Reiju Receiving The Affections of A Scorpion With A Cactus Flower.” This cover was requested by Noda Skywalker.
7. 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, 1999, 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.
