'One Piece' chapter 965 release date, spoilers: Oden and Toki's relationship builds up; Next chapter is delayed for 2 weeks

Kozuki Oden’s adventures as a pirate have finally started, but bigger events are still bound to happen in “One Piece” chapter 965. One of the most obvious highlights of the next chapter is Oden’s first meeting with Gol D. Roger. But what manga readers should also look forward to is how Oden gets closer to Toki, who will eventually become his wife.

'One Piece' chapter 965 spoilers: Oden and Toki gets closer

As shown in chapter 964, Toki is a time traveler born 800 years ago at the time of the flashbacks. Her scream for help is what made Oden let go of the chain attached to Whitebeard's ship and subsequently scaring her attackers. She appears to have originally come from Wano, and she is eager to return to the closed-off nation. Oden will go back to Wano at some point with Toki because that is where they are supposed to die together.

Before that happens, “One Piece” chapter 965 and the following manga installments will most likely include details on how their relationship builds up. One of the possible ways for that to happen is for Toki to be with Oden’s entire pirate adventure.

Chapter 964 ended with a flashback to Roger and the younger versions of Buggy and Shanks on the Oro Jackson. They read about Oden in the news, and Roger instantly became interested in meeting the samurai who is the latest to join Whitebeard’s crew. This leads to a very likely event in “One Piece” chapter 965 that Roger and Oden will meet.

'One Piece' chapter 965 predictions: Oden and Roger meet for the first time

The introduction of Roger and Oden to one another is not a simple meeting. In the present timeline, it is known that Oden decided to leave Whitebeard’s crew to join Roger’s. It is now very possible that “One Piece” chapter 965 will finally show avid fans how this event took place.

One the other hand, it is also very interesting to see why a very loyal Izo decided not to go with Oden when he left Whitebeard’s crew. Considering the fast-paced storytelling in the previous chapters, all these key events in Oden’s life is likely getting revealed in “One Piece” chapter 965. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait a couple more weeks to see it all. “One Piece” chapter 965 will be released on Friday, Dec. 15.
