‘One Piece’ Chapter 923 Release Date, Plot Predictions: Kin’emon Gathers All Allies, Straw Hats Face Kaido?; Zoro Returns?

Following the surprise attack that the protagonists suffered in chapter 922, they are compelled to maintain their plan and improvise at the same time, thus stretching their still small unit. But amid all the chaos, many fans are definitely asking where Zoro could be in “One Piece” chapter 923.

Chapter 922 ended with Luffy activating his Gomu Gomu no Elephant Gun against Kaido, which means this is where “One Piece” chapter 923 will likely start. But Kaido is very strong and he still despises Luffy and Law for practically destroying his Smiles business. This means fans should not expect this to end with a single attack.

Now, “One Piece” chapter 923 is looking like a continuation of a battle. However, the Straw Hats are likely badly hurt from Kaido’s Boro Breath. Luffy and Law cannot expect reinforcements as the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai alliance will be scattered to protect what’s left of the plans.

Kaido knows that the Straw Hats and Heart Pirates are in Wano. But no one from the Beasts Pirates is aware that the Minks, the Kozuki men, and their allies are also converging at this point. The protagonists would like to keep it that way in “One Piece” chapter 923 so the alliance is forced to temporarily be separated.

Law and the Straw Hats will face Kaido in “One Piece” chapter 923. Kin’emon and the others will proceed to recruit allies and all Oden sympathizers from various towns in Wano until their army is big enough to fight Kaido’s forces.

Meanwhile, Zoro has been missing since they left Okobore town. He was not even able to meet his friends and their allies or participate in their previous meetings at Oden Castle. But many are hopeful that he will reappear in “One Piece” chapter 923.

Since Kaido appeared, he has been up in the sky in his dragon form, so all of Wano saw him coming. This gave Kin’emon time to flee and, possibly, help Zoro know where he could find his friends. So seeing Zoro reunited with the Straw Hats in “One Piece” chapter 923 would not be a stretch.

According to a Reddit thread, the raw scans for “One Piece” chapter 923 will be out on Nov. 1 and fans will get more clues by then. The next chapter’s official release is expected on Nov. 5.
