Spoiler warning: this article discusses events from One Piece chapters 990 and 991 in the Wano Country arc.
The raid on Onigashima is one of the biggest battles Eiichiro Oda has ever drawn. By chapter 991, the alliance of samurai, minks and pirates was locked in a fight on several fronts at once, with Kaido himself waiting at the top.
Key Spoilers From Chapter 991
- The Red Scabbards stand firm: Oden’s loyal retainers face Kaido directly, ready to give their lives as samurai of Oden.
- An uneasy offer: Luffy is willing to work with X Drake, but Zoro, Jinbe and Franky are not convinced and choose to deal with the threat in their own way.
- Nami and Usopp’s moment: when Ulti and Page One go after the Straw Hats, Nami and Usopp manage to draw their attention away.
- Apoo strikes: as Drake is forced to face Zoro, Scratchmen Apoo suddenly attacks them both, pushing Zoro and Drake to fight him together.
- Jack falls: Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, in their powerful Sulong forms, bring down Jack, one of Kaido’s All-Stars.
- Kin’emon’s defiance: Kaido unleashes his Bolo Breath, but Kin’emon slices the attack in two, showing the samurai are not backing down.
Why This Chapter Matters
Chapter 991 shows the Wano raid at full scale: every group has its own battle, and every victory comes at a cost. The Red Scabbards’ willingness to die for Oden’s dream adds emotional weight, while the minks’ win over Jack proves the alliance can beat Kaido’s top fighters.
Release Date
Chapter 991 was released in Weekly Shonen Jump in September 2020, after spoilers circulated online a few days before the official release.
