Summary

In its final chapter, One Piece is set to delve into the grandest of mysteries and reveal hidden treasures to its audience. This is also where all the storylines will be skillfully connected, offering fans a comprehensive overview of characters who have left their mark on One Piece throughout its journey.

One beloved character among the vans is Charlotte Katakuri, the mightiest of the Three Sweet Commanders from the Big Mom Pirates. This is the man who temporarily defeated Luffy during the Whole Cake Island storyline. Given his popularity, it’s no wonder fans are eager for his comeback, and they’re excited to see him take a prominent role in the upcoming Final Saga, which appears to have already been set up by Oda.

The Last Fans Saw Of Charlotte Katakuri In One Piece

  • Katakuri Couldn’t Stop The Blackbeard Pirates
  • Katakuri Was Observing Vegapunk’s Speech

Regarding Charlotte Katakuri, readers haven’t had much opportunity to witness his exploits throughout the storyline. However, during the Whole Cake Island arc, he was exceptionally active and even managed to overshadow Big Mom in several aspects. Following this arc, brief instances of him were shown to the audience. Later, in a side-story, Oda depicted Katakuri engaged in combat with Oven while the Vinsmoke family secured their captives’ release. Subsequently, readers encountered him once more, albeit in a different context – Katakuri was tuning into Vegapunk’s broadcast, which carried significant information.

After that point, Katakuri has remained absent from the One Piece series. Yet, it’s no secret among fans that a major play by Charlotte Katakuri is imminent, one that could restore his reputation as a champion once more.

Why Katakuri Will Be Important In The Final Saga Of One Piece

Katakuri Will Play A Role in Trying To Rescue Pudding

Without Big Mom and Perospero, it’s evident that Charlotte Katakuri is the one who can command the crew. Fans are well aware of this fact. What sets Katakuri apart, though, is not just his strength but also his dedication to fighting for those around him, even Pudding. This makes his potential return a straightforward and appealing prospect.

It’s foreseeable that Katakuri will reunite with the Straw Hat Pirates in the future. This reunion is expected to take place on Pirate Island, during a mission where Luffy aims to save Garp. Since Pudding is already present there, it’s unlikely that Katakuri would let this opportunity slip by, especially since this seems to be shaping up as another great Marineford-like battle.

It’s highly probable that Katakuri will delay his advance against Blackbeard pirates, preferring to first encounter Luffy on Pirate Island. While it’s unlikely he’ll defeat Blackbeard, fans are eagerly anticipating the action-packed scene of Katakuri returning to the story. Additionally, other members of the Big Mom Pirates may also make an appearance, making this a highly anticipated reunion of beloved characters in the narrative.

In two weeks from now, I’ll be eagerly awaiting the release of One Piece Chapter 1149. Typically, this manga series unfurls its latest installment every Sunday. For our Japanese counterparts, that means it drops at midnight JST on a Monday. However, most international readers like myself will have the pleasure of reading it a week earlier, specifically on May 11th. The official global release date for One Piece Chapter 1149 is slated for May 25th, 2025. Excitingly, we can all enjoy this chapter for free on Manga Plus!
