Oden ripped out the Laugh Tale pages from his journal

More details have been discovered about Oden's journal. It turns out that neither Momonosuke nor Yamato has any idea what happened in Laugh Tale:

"Momonosuke says that Oden ripped out the most important pages of his logbook, the ones about Laugh Tale."

Luffy uses Snakeman, Kaido has a flashback

One Piece Chapter 1041 ends with a major update on Kaido versus Luffy. Readers finally get a brief glimpse into Kaido's childhood:

"Kaidou remembers, in a small flashback, the first time he met Big Mom when he was 15 years old. "I am Linlin!! The woman who will become the king of the seas!!!""

It's fairly obvious that Big Mom was very influential in his early life. She was responsible for giving Kaido his powerful Devil Fruit during the God Valley incident.

However, Luffy interrupts by resorting to a very powerful attack:

"Luffy uses the Snakeman at the end of the chapter, and attacks Kaidou with a new technique called "Gomu Gomu no Hydra"."

The Straw Hat also makes it clear that he isn't giving up until Kaido leaves Wano Country. Without a doubt, this is a very explosive finish to One Piece Chapter 1041. Readers will just have to wait until the chapter officially drops.
