'One Piece' chapter 832 spoilers: Next chapter to dig into Pedro and Pekoms' past?

Shonen Jump

Popular pirate manga "One Piece" returns from a week-long hiatus this week. According to speculations, the next chapter will show fans what happened with Pekoms and Pedro in Big Mom's territory.

During the last few chapters, Pedro revealed to the Straw Hat Pirates that he and Pekoms were once comrades, and that they were a part of Big Mom's crew. However, he did not elaborate why and how he left the Big Mom Pirates, and why Pekoms chose to stay. Speculations suggest that the upcoming chapter 832 may shed light on this issue, as it focuses on Pedro and Brooks trying to sneak their way deeper into Big Mom's territory. The two are out to steal the poneglyph that is needed to reach Raftel, presumably home to the Pirate King's One Piece.

Meanwhile, departing on their separate missions, Luffy and his crew got tangled in an enchanted forest in Whole Cake Island called the Seducing Woods. Trapped inside the forest, Luffy and his crew fight their way towards the exit, though they are hampered in every turn by the forest itself, as well as a mysterious rabbit that suddenly appeared and attacked Nami and Carrot.

Separated from the rest of the group, Chopper comes across a giant asking for juice, while Luffy battles an evil replica of himself. This is said to be one of the mysteries of the forest, since Luffy and company were previously lured inside by a supposed replica of Sanji.

As for the Straw Hat Pirate's chief cook, he is shown to be waiting for his approaching wedding, with his brother and sister already in the island, as is the rest of the Germa 66 crew. Since this is one of the grandest weddings between the two families, it is expected that it is Sanji's father who appeared towards the end of the chapter.
