'One Piece' chapter 827 predictions and spoilers: Release date set for May 23, big battle involving the Straw Hat Crew to happen?

With the delay of "One Piece" chapter 826, fans have been itching to know what happens next in their favorite manga series. The much-awaited new chapters 826 and 827 have yet to be revealed, but it's never too early for fans to speculate on how the story will unfold.

According to reports, chapter 826 will see Sanji being called out by the Straw Hat Crew since they want to ask him for an antidote. Apparently, the person they were calling out was not Sanji, and he turned out to be Sanji's brother Ronji. Still, they asked him for some medicine in their hopes to find a cure for their captain. Ronji might be different from his brother in so many ways, but they definitely have one thing in common, and that is their attraction to beautiful women. After the appearance of Reige Vinsmoke who helped cure Luffy, the captain wanted to have Sanji back. On the other hand, Reige ignored Luffy's request and she went on to request the crew to just forget about all the things that happened.

As for the upcoming chapter 827, reports say that Youji Vinsmoke will likely demand his crew to steer the ship in the opposite way. the Straw Hat Crew along with their captain Luffy will get ready because they might face a huge battle. If the fight will indeed happen, do they have a big chance of winning? The answer remains to be seen, but it might be one of the highlights of the chapter.

In terms of the release date, other reports claim that the manga series will be published tomorrow, May 23. As noted in  The One Piece Podcast, the popular series "will be published in Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan and around the world in English-speaking countries on Monday, May 23." However, details behind its delay have not been confirmed.
