One Piece Episode 1097 what to expect (speculative)

With a flashback to post-Buster Call Ohara set to begin in the coming installment, One Piece Episode 1097 seems set to be an emotional and tear jerking installment for the series. However, it’s also likely to reveal significant hope for the future of Ohara’s will, even setting up a second inheritor in addition to Nico Robin.

Likewise, the episode should relate these events back to Nico Robin in the end, given that she is the last true child of Ohara even if another inheritor exists. However, it’s also likely that the other inheritor of Ohara’s will has a similarly deep connection to the island, its people, and the events on the day of the Oharan Genocide.
