One Piece’sprevious chapter saw the curtains fall on the biggest fight in the entirety of the story asLuffy sent Kaido miles under the ground with a ferocious punchthat carried that weight of 20 years behind it. Although fans previously doubted whether Kaido was truly done for good, with the last chapter, it seems clearer that Luffy is indeed the victor and has officially crushed the Yonko for good, liberating Wano Country in the process.
With the narrator updating the battle in the skies above Wano between Luffy and Kaido, Luffy was officially declared the winner and the land of Wano was finally freed from both its tyrants. Apart from the big clash over the land of Wano, fans also got to see the people in the Flower Capital being greeted by Momonosuke, who announced the fall of Kaido and Orochi. What’s more, the Akazaya samurai made their entry only to introducethe next Shogun of Wano Country. All that and more will be tackled inOne Piece1051, which is now just around the corner.

One Piece 1051: The Shogun Of Wano Country
One Piece1051will most certainly continue from where the previous chapter left off. Towards the end of the last chapter, the Akazaya Samurai made their entry into the Flower Capital, and with them were both Hiyori and Momonosuke. It is quite interesting to know that Denjiro, one of the Akazaya members, made a claim aboutintroducing the next Shogun of Wano Country, however, it is unknown who that is going to be. Both Hiyori and Momonosuke have a claim to the position, and while Momonosuke is the rightful heir to the position, fans don’t yet know what his intentions are. In the previous chapter, fans saw Momonosuke claim that he has decided to keep the borders of Wano shut for the time being. This could very well imply that Momonosuke might travel with the Straw Hat Pirates to Laugh Tale and find out for himself what his father once did. In that case, Hiyori could very well be introduced as the Shogun of Wano inOne Piece1051.

At the same time, One of the most interesting things about One Piece 1051 would be Momonosuke’s human form appearance. After being aged up by Shinobu, Momonosuke’s human form Is yet to be seen by the fans. Shinobu alluded to the fact that he looked quite similar to his father, however, fans never got to see that as he transformed into his dragon farm immediately after. In the previous chapter, Momonosuke changed back into his human form andOne Piece chapter 1051will give fans their first glimpse of what he looks like. At the same time, the next chapter of the story will also tackle the reunion of Kozuki Hiyori and Momonosuke. In Wano’s Act 2, fans saw both Hiyori and Momonosuke talk about wanting to meet each other, however, circumstances prevented them from doing so. Hiyori’s promise to meet him after the war will finally come true in One Piece 1051 as both are currently in the Flower Capital.
One Piece 1051: The Victims Of The War
One Piecechapter 1050threw some light on those who took a heavy beating in the war of Onigashima. With countless people injured, it is now time for the likes of Chopper, Marco, and Trafalgar Law to step up and treat everyone so they get better as soon as possible. Luffy seems to have already received some sort of care as he was seen bandaged in the previous chapter, however, he certainly needs days of rest before he is in fighting condition again. Meanwhile,Zoro is in a near-death stateand requires a lot of care as well. His injuries certainly aren’t normal and would require Chopper’s full attention before he gets back to his best.
