One Piece: Oda Says Lurking Legend Will Appear at the End of Wano, Luffy's Strongest Enemy!

After arriving at One Piece 1046, Eiichiro Oda apparently mentioned the Lurking Legend figure that would shock fans.

The facts that exist until One Piece 1046 show that the Lurking Legend will appear at the end of the Wano Arc and become Luffy's strongest enemy after Kaido.

The following is a discussion of the leaked One Piece 1046 regarding the Lurking Legend that Oda has alluded to.

With Luffy's Gear 5th change, Oda's talk in his interview session turned out to be not mere nonsense.

Oda has actually given several statements that illustrate if something surprising to Luffy will indeed happen at the end of the Wano Arc.

At the 22nd Jump Festa, Oda said that readers should pay more attention to Luffy's character at the end of the Wano Arc.

It was true that during this peak battle against Kaido, Luffy's appearance changed completely after he managed to reach Awakening and Gear 5th mode.

Luffy's hair and clothes have now changed to white color accompanied by a hairstyle that resembles fire.

Then during an interview in 2021, Oda said when Nika reappeared in the One Piece manga, she would show her face.

Sure enough, when a few chapters ago the Sun God Nika appeared, it turned out that his real face was Luffy who had reached the power of Awakening.

Furthermore, in 2016, Oda said that readers would not be satisfied if Luffy defeated Kaido with just his powerful punches.

Finally in yesterday's chapter, Oda made Gear 5th mode for Luffy even though it took more than five years since Gear 4th was first shown.

Then in the 98th SBS column, the mangaka also mentioned that Luffy would use Gear 5th against Kaido.

However, it turns out, there are still some words that Oda has not realized, one of which is his statement at the 18th Jump Festa.

He said that the Marineford Arc would look "cute" when compared to the Wano Arc.

Then it was also mentioned that Oda would show the figure of a Lurking Legend who would block Luffy's path.

This Lurking Legend mentioned by Oda will be wrong when Luffy's strongest enemy.

Because currently Luffy's increase in strength is so great that Kaido is being played by the Straw Hat captain.

So it is not impossible that at the end of the Wano Arc, after Kaido is defeated, this Lurking Legend figure will appear.

Of course as a mangaka, Oda will not make the story boring with Luffy's current power which is too terrible.

Then with the appearance of the Lurking Legend figure and the arrival of the Navy troops.

The Wano war will also be much more lively than the Marineford war as Oda once said.

The fact about the arrival of the Lurking Legend figure at the end of the Wano Arc will certainly be revealed in the upcoming One Piece 1046.
