The latest chapter — chapter 842 — in the long-running manga series "One Piece" will be featuring the last few chapters in the story that has so far delved into Sanji's past and his childhood. The new chapter will also be showcasing the story of how Sanji finally came to know his true calling, which is to become the greatest chef in the world.

According to the latest spoiler reports, the upcoming chapter will be showcasing different scenes aside from the ongoing battle between Monkey D. Luffy and Cracker. With the help of Nami and her Clima-Tact powers, Cracker's biscuit soldiers have finally become soft enough to eat.

Luffy has managed to consume most of them, which resulted in him bloating up. Cracker apparently doesn't find this a threat as he declares that he can always make more soldiers. Cracker also decides to do one final attack, but Luffy instantly initiates a new Gear Fourth move called the "Tankman." The leader of the Straw Hat pirates then bloats even further, effectively making his body immune to Cracker's attacks.

Meanwhile, Sanji's past is further revealed as he discovers a book that leads to him discovering his true path. Sanji is then helped by his sister Reiju, who heals his face with an electric mask. Sanji then talks to her about Zeff and how he had become an important mentor to him. The family soon departs to meet with the Charlotte family at the Whole Cake Chateau.

Some reports have also revealed that Sanji's family may be entangled in a scuffle with the Charlotte family as the wedding is interrupted. Fans are also expecting that Luffy will be the victor in his fight with Cracker, and that the rest of the crew will be able to make it in time to stop the wedding.

"One Piece" chapter 842 — titled "The Power of Fullness" — is scheduled to be released next week on Monday, Oct. 10.
