One Piece 1039: What To Expect From The Chapter

gamerant.com:

One Piece's previous chapter saw the story shift from the rooftop to inside Onigashima, where quite a few other problems still linger. From the fights that are still left, fans got to see a glimpse of Raizo vs Fukurokuju, both of which continued the usage of their paralysis ninjutsu despite being close to burning to death. At the same time, Izo encountered the CP0 but appears to be in no state to fight them off, making this quite a difficult task for him. One Piece 1039 will certainly touch on these plot points moving forward.

The rest of the chapter focused on Yamato trying to stop Kazenbo but, more importantly, the chapter dove into its biggest part, which was the battle between Big Mom and a team-up of Law and Kid. Despite having seemingly defeated them already, Big Mom was, once again, taken aback when the two struck yet another powerful blow against her. Law, using his awakening, tapped into the power of Shock Wille once again, while Kid used another one of his mechanical attacks to knock the Yonko back. It is highly likely that One Piece chapter 1039 will see this clash continue.

The Wano Country arc is quite close to its end now and with just a few fights remaining, Oda's focus in One Piece chapter 1039 will be on wrapping them up and then focusing on Luffy vs Kaido. Yamato's clash against Kazenbo is needed to raise the tension even while Luffy and Kaido fight, so it is possible that fans won't see this one get resolved until Luffy vs Kaido actually begins. At the same time, the threat of CP0 needs to be ever-present until the very end as it is quite clear to see that they're being set up as the main source of tension after the Beasts Pirates and Kaido fall.
