One Piece1082 is going to be incredibly exhilarating, if the past few chapters are anything to go by.The Final Saga has seen Oda step his game upand the expectations for the next chapter are very high.
One Piece 1082: Kuzan Fights Back
One Piecechapter 1082 is most likely going to focus on the fight between Garp and Kuzan. This fight began in the previous chapter shortlyafter Garp assaulted the pirateson the island. Immediately after, Kuzan appeared and froze Hibari, and the confrontation between him and Garp finally began. While the former tried to freeze his mentor, it very clearly didn’t work and the latter retaliated with a powerful Haki-based attack named Blue Hole. It is very likely that this fight will continue in One Piece chapter 1082 and, this time,Aokiji will strike back.He is an incredibly powerful pirate right now and as a former Admiral as well as a student of Garp, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone to see him at a very high level.
Any other commander of Blackbeard would not be able to contend with Garp, however, Aokiji certainly can and the next chapter will likely demonstrate his abilities a bit more. Fans have already seen what he is capable of in the Paramount War, however, one aspect of his powers that has not been displayed so far is his Awakened fruit abilities.Aokiji most likely has Awakened his Devil Fruitand it’s very much likely that fans could get a glimpse of their first Logia awakening in the story withOne Piece1082.
One Piece 1082: Garp Takes A Stand
Garp’s fight against Kuzan is likely not going to be an easy one for him. Although he is an old man, he is still very powerful and he can surely hold his own against one Marine Admiral. Whitebeard, who was in a much worse physical condition, managed to fight three and, when enraged, he even defeated Akainu within a matter of seconds. It is likely that Garp will take a similar stand here. Fans saw Whitebeard do something similar during the Paramount War where he, for the safety of his children, decided to take everything on by himself and allowed his crew a chance to escape. Garp could do something similar, only he wouldn’t die like Whitebeard, thanks to his better physical condition.

One Piece 1082 could also go deeper into the relationship between Garp and his student, Kuzan. Oda has previously mentioned that he wants to draw a spin-off based on Garp where he displays his interactions with various Marines, which also includes his students. As such, this is the perfect opportunity for him to dive deeper into that aspect of storytelling, when it comes to Garp, and fans should brace themselves for incredibly emotional content pertaining to these two characters.
It has been quite a while since Oda has taken fans to Egghead Island. The last few chapters have been spent away from Egghead, for the most part, however,One Piece1082 will most likely return to the island. The last time fans saw Egghead, York was revealed to be the traitor and the Marines were knocking on the door of the island. At the same time,a Blackbeard ship was approaching Egghead Island.It is pretty clear that this ship consists of Catarina Devon and Lafitte. While it is unknown what their goal is at this point, it could very well be tackled in the next chapter of the story.
More importantly, fans could get a look at the Navy unit approaching Egghead Island inOne Piecechapter 1082. Oda previously teased the Egghead Incident, which is known to be the greatest incident after the timeskip ofOne Piece,about to go down in one day’s time. The story is now moving towards that at a blazing speed and, to see that come to fruition, the Marines will have to arrive on the island. This will then result in an all-out war breaking out between the Straw Hat Pirates and the Navy and fans will see the group in action against the World Government for the very first time since the Enies Lobby arc. Surely, this arc is going to be full of twists and turns and, if the fights of Law and Kid are anything to go by, they’re going to be incredibly intense.
One Piece will be on break next week, along with the rest of the Shonen Jump magazine, due to Golden Week. One Piece 1082 will be released on Aug 03, 2025. As always, fans can read the chapter for free on the Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump app.
