‘One Piece’ Chapter 948: Luffy Might Defeat Kaido With A New Move

With the Wano Country Arc in full swing, “One Piece” manga fans are definitely hyped on what Oda might bring in the upcoming Chapter 948. In the recent installment, something totally unexpected happened, solving the problem posed by the rampaging Big Mom.

The recently released “One Piece” Chapter 947 of the manga series, which is now available for online viewing via sites such as MangaStream, introduced one of the most exciting events in the Wano arc thus far. In the course of his fight against Big Mom, Luffy was able to learn the next level of Haki usage.

This new Haki technique was called Ryou by Hyogoro. It promises to be a very devastating technique indeed that it might pose a threat even to Logia users.

Luffy surprised Hyogoro by being able to use Ryou instinctively when he destroyed the steel collar hindering him. However, it was the older, more experienced man who pointed out the finer details of the technique to the pirate.

As Hyogoro pointed out, Luffy only mastered Haki to augment both his offensive and defensive strengths. But there’s a far more dangerous way of using Haki, and that is to control it to enter the enemy and destroy from within.

Hyogoro was even confident that Luffy has fully mastered Ryou since he was able to destroy the collars. “Those steel collars were destroyed from the inside by your Haki!” the older man even encouraged Luffy to counter Big Mom’s attack using Ryou. “You can already do it.”

However, Luffy obviously has not mastered the technique yet as he failed to stop the Yonko’s attack. But it was for the better, though, as it basically destroyed the entire Udon prison.

Meanwhile, Queen hatched a plan on how to defeat Big Mom by luring her with oshiruko, a Japanese dessert. Then Queen launched a sneak attack using his strongest move, but it seemed to leave any damage to the Yonko at all. Luckily, she fell asleep after that, and so they were able to bound her a hundred times in seastone handcuffs and chains, as well as sedate her with a hundred dosage of beast tranquilizer before transporting her to Onigashima, Kaido’s HQ.

Now fans are busy speculating on what might happen in the upcoming Chapter 948 of the “One Piece” manga. One possibility is that Luffy, with Big Mom and Queen no longer around, might use the opportunity to hone his Ryou Haki skill and flatten Udon in the process.

“With Big Mom and Balloon gone, I won’t really have anyone to fight,” Luffy said. “I’ll be taking Udon now.”

Fans are no doubt thrilled to know just how powerful the next-level Haki technique is. In fact, some people are already saying that it just might be the key to defeating Kaido.

Speaking about Kaido, the unconscious Big Mom is on her way to his island at the end of the previous episode. This means that the two Yonkos could meet next chapter and might even join hands to plot the downfall of their common enemy, Luffy.
