Chapter 798 of "One Piece" is inching closer and closer, and speculation is running rampant about what may take place next.

As of now, one of the most bandied about rumors regarding chapter 798 suggests that the end could be near for the Dressrosa Kingdom.

One reason to believe this apparent rumor is that the Crowned Princess of Dressrosa herself, Rebecca, has already made her intentions of leaving the kingdom known, according to Movie News Guide. It looks as though the Princess will be taking leave of the kingdom in lieu of joining the Kyros crew. If such is the case, then the fate of the Kingdom will surely be put into question.

If Princess Rebecca does indeed follow through on her plans to leave the Kingdom of Dressrosa, then her likely successor would be Violet, whom she has already asked previously to take on the role of replacing her.

Another prediction going around for chapter 798 of "One Piece" is saying that the Straw Hats will most likely be engaged in their own personal battles as the story progresses.

Fans are also excited to see whether Zoro will be showing something different in the new chapter, as he is said to be working on a new technique. Zoro could also debut that technique in the chapter as well, as he looks set to take part in yet another thrilling encounter.

In related news, "One Piece" fans will have even more to look forward to come next year, as a new animated film is set to come out from the highly animated series, according to the Anime News Network.

The film is expected to be released around summer of next year, although fans will have to stay tuned for exactly when that would be as a specific date has yet to be announced.

The upcoming "One Piece" film will be the 13th for the franchise.
