They're hyping it because it's the 1000th chapter. I don't think this is concerning whether or not something special happens. They aren't "hyping it for no reason". If something special happens, I don't think this is connected
Next prediction: "Enies" has more to it than meets the eye
My proudest prediction: Predicted Imu before he showed up

I don't expect anything too big unless Oda cuts away from the current story. Maybe Luffy's first big hit on Kaido can happen on chapter 1000.
Dragon Revealed at Chapter 100
Rayleigh Revealed at Chapter 500
Resuming Straw Hat Journey at Chapter 600
Straw Hat Grand Fleet formed at Chapter 800
Chapter 1000 could be : an important Character introduction, my guess either Rock D Xebec revealed from Kaidou’s past
Or something with fun vibes that Oda happy to draw (the later is hard to imagine since we’re in the middle of the War).
I usually don't think too much about milestone chapters, we have random big reveals all the time after all.
But the 1000? It would make sense to allign an extraordinary event with it, if only because everyone is expecting *something*. You can't just deliver a chapter like 990, for example.
Personally I expect [999/1000] or [1000/1001] to include a colorspread depicting the Straw Hat Pirates vs. the Beast Pirates, similiar to the Baroque Works & CP9 covers. 10 Chapters is more than enough time to reach the 1 vs. 1 (or tagteam) component of the Wano war, especially when we consider how fast Oda is wrapping things up right now.
The Straw Hats fighting an Emperor at eye level after a journey spanning 1000 chapters. They are officially "great pirates" now. That would be good enough for me.
(So this would mean the next volume cover is dedicated to the Beast Pirate commanders and the one after to the Straw Hats (1-10).
I wonder if chapter 1,000 will after, before or during the act 3/4 intermission...
No, I'm not back. I never left. It's just that it has been a long time since I had something to say.
Scopper steps in
I hope they update what is going on outside of wano, like pacifistas and helmeppo captured mihawk, buggy decimated all the marines going after him, fujitora and coby captured boa, sabo is in prison, we see what blackbeard said he was not going to leave in marines hands, Im's face.
We will sooner or later learn what happened to the Warlords, but we are in the middle of the war right now. I just can't see Oda switching to other things during the climax of Wano.
Yes, he bounces around a lot and the cliffhanger of today could very well be resolved in two months instead of next week, but I can't remember him doing drastic scenery changes during the endgame encounters of big arcs.
Unless we assume the Beast Pirates will be dealt with within the next 10 chapters. Which... is actually an option?![]()

What I want the most is extra pages.
The first chapter after the timeskip (598) had 25 pages, I think, so it's a good number to aim. A double chapter would take me to heaven, but I doubt Oda can do it.

I hope for a big reveal regarding the world building
