Japanese manga series "One Piece" chapter 887 will possibly feature a more powerful Luffy. During his fight with Sweet Commander Katakuri, Luffy might level up, or he will develop a new technique. Fans of the manga will see the continuation of Luffy and Katakuri's battle in the next chapter.

The previous chapters showed that Luffy was fully aware of Katakuri's weakness. However, he did not use it to turn the battle to his favor completely. Luffy knew that the most significant advantage of Katakuri's strength was his observation haki. This gave him the ability to look into the future and in turn helped him to counter any future attacks.

The upcoming episode will reveal Luffy's patience. Luffy will wait it out until Katakuri's observation haki gets used up. He will then launch a surprise attack that will bring down Katakuri. Brulee will also agree with Luffy's observation. For Brulee, the Straw Hat Captain is not that stupid after all. On the other hand, Luffy will not use this knowledge to defeat Katakuri. Instead, he will challenge himself by beating his opponent while on full power.

Fans speculate that Luffy will level up his haki in "One Piece" chapter 887. He will enhance the Gear 4 technique or acquire a new power such as having the all-new Gear 5 attack. Some fans think that his Gear 5 will be a combination of all his Gear forms plus the conqueror haki. Others believe that the 5th Gear will allow Luffy to make use of his brain or his nervous system. With that, he will be able to formulate intelligent strategies and use those strategies to win battles.

According to ComicBook, the Straw Hat Captain will also develop his observation haki while fighting Katakuri. His new ability will make their battle even more interesting. For the uninitiated, Luffy is already proficient in using Kenbunshoku Haki in battle. The post also pointed out that Luffy will avoid Mihawk's attack in the Marineford arc. If Luffy can avoid Mihawk's brute force, Luffy also has the capability to counter Katakuri's power and skills.

"One Piece" chapter 887 will be released by Viz Media on Dec. 4.
