"One Piece" Chapter 842 release date is expected to happen next week. After all, fans just had their fill of the latest chapter which only became available yesterday. Yet, a common trait among fans of the long-running series is the unquenchable curiosity about what could happen next. For those who just can't wait until it releases, here are some of "One Piece" Chapter 842 spoilers and speculations as well as some Chapter 841 recap to ease the burden of an entire week's worth of wait.
Sanji's Sad Past
Most of the previous chapter dealt with Sanji's sad past, which could probably help explain what is coming in "One Piece" Chapter 842. Upon the orders of his father, Sanji was locked away in a cell to be forgotten, that even his siblings believed for a while that he was indeed dead.
When they later found out that Sanji was imprisoned all along, they even visited him in his cell not to comfort Sanji but only to beat him up. This shows that aside from his sister Reiju, his siblings as well as his father treated him as garbage, unworthy to be called family. One can't help but feel that if Sanji will have his chance, probably in "One Piece" Chapter 842, he might not hesitate to return the favor.
Whatever decision Sanji might make in the coming "One Piece" Chapter 842, it appears that the previous chapter laid the work for the justifications later on. It was revealed that his mother, who was sick when Sanji was young, encouraged her son to cook. Given this backstory, it is easy to see how Sanji associates cooking with his idea of family - from his mother, his mentor Zeff and finally, his new family the Straw Hats.
The Difference Between Reiju And Her Brothers
But Reiju appears to be different from her brothers as far as her treatment of Sanji is concerned. While she did not stop her brothers from hurting Sanji afraid of becoming their target as well, she did not participate in the bullying either. She later explained to Sanji that despite being as physically strong as her brothers, she is different because she can still feel other's sufferings; she can still empathize. Does this mean that Sanji still has a secret ally in the person of Reiju, to be revealed when "One Piece" Chapter 842 release date comes next week?
It must be noted that aside from tending to Sanji's numerous injuries inflicted by their brothers, Reiju did one important thing to Sanji that he did not forget to this day. Seeing the miserable life waiting for Sanji if he stays with the Vinsmokes, Reiju let Sanji out of his prison and advised him never to come back again, for his sake. Now, "One Piece" Chapter 842 spoilers hint of a possible repeat of Reiju's kindness. Will she help Sanji escape one last time or has she become like her sadistic brothers as well?
Luffy's New Strategy Against Cracker
Another interesting topic to speculate on in the coming "One Piece" Chapter 842 is Luffy's new strategy in the ongoing fight against Cracker. The previous chapter revealed a totally unexpected move by Luffy. Confronted with Cracker's technique of hardened soldiers which are actually biscuits, Luffy decided that the best way to counter them is to eat them all.
But it's easier said than done. Eleven hours later, Luffy is obviously full from eating the biscuit soldiers that Cracker keeps on producing. Luffy is betting that Cracker's ability of producing biscuit solders has its limits. Now the question is, will Cracker run out of soldier biscuits or will Luffy run out of stomach space in the coming "One Piece" Chapter 842?
"One Piece"Chapter 842 releases sometime next week. Be sure to stay tuned to GamenGuide for updates.
