'One Piece 795': new chapter coming August 3; Straw Hats gang gets unexpected addition

(One Piece)

"One Piece" fans still have a few days left of waiting to do before the next chapter of the manga is released on "Shonen Jump" as series creator, Eiichiro Oda, is still relishing the rare free time he has.

Despite the delay, fans take heart in the knowledge that "One Piece 795" will finally start and they will learn what will happen next to the Straw Hat Pirates, especially after the way the last chapter ended.

To recap, the last chapter showed Sabo cautiously introducing himself to Luffy's Straw Hat gang and recounted how he, Ace and Luffy became brothers and the bond they shared. The Straw Hats learned that Sabo developed a severe case of amnesia after almost dying during an attack by the Celestial Dragon ship.

Luckily, he was saved by Dragon. Sabo revealed that he read a newspaper article reporting Ace's death and how he broke down and remembered everything. He then gave a vivre card to Robin with the instructions to return it to Luffy when he wakes up. Viewers would eventually see Sabo leaving by using a flock of crows.

Speculations on the aftermath of the Dressrosa arc have been building steadily. Some fans believe that since the writer is wrapping things up, readers might one again see characters like Brook, Caesar, Chopper, Momonosuke, Nami and Sanji. Others say that C.P Zero will arrive in the area to secure and deal with the national treasure coveted by Doflamingo.

There are also reports that Admiral Fujitora will try to bring in the Straw Hats. However, many of the citizens of Dressrosa will try to stop the admiral. Fujitora, not wanting to hurt civilians, decided not to chase after Luffy and his crew. 

One rumor that fans are really anticipating is the inclusion of a new face to the team next season. All signs are allegedly pointing toward Bellamy joining Luffy's crew but some are betting on the new member being either Money in her hybrid form, Rebecca or the swordsman.

The new chapter of "One Piece" will reportedly be available on Aug. 3, 2015.
