Fans are up to another whirlwind of events in the upcoming One Piece Episode 1088, titled Luffy’s Dream. After the Wano Country’s dissolution, the Blackbeard Pirates’ incursion to Amazon Lily, and the Seraphims’ introduction in the previous episode, fans may see the continuation of the adventure on Amazon Lily Island. But aside from that, the newly released teaser for Episode 1088 shows the arrival of Silvers Rayleigh, aka the Dark King. You can see the preview below:
The teaser begins with Luffy lying on the floor while being looked at by Nami, Usopp, and Brook. According to the narrator, Luffy will fulfill the oath he swore with his brothers and travel to the seas. This is being said while a montage of scenes featuring Nami, Emporio, and Coby plays in the background.
The speaker continues that Luffy still holds on to that one idea to fulfill his dream. From there, Rayleigh appears as he walks straight to the scene. “What is the idea that will move the hearts of those who hear it?” the narrator asks. The preview ends by showing solo scenes of Luffy, Zoro, Chopper, Jinbei, Sanji, and Rayleigh.
