Summary

Luffy slips into sleep and comes to rest on the Skull Dome roof while the island eases down safely beside the Flower Capital. Now that the assault has toppled Kaidou, Nekomamushi proclaims that the old prophecy has come true and that Oden is at last avenged. The allies break into celebration, Chopper and Miyagi see to the injured, and Yamato presses the last Beasts Pirates to surrender.

To Zunesha, Momonosuke says he will leave Wano's borders shut for the moment and instead stand guard over the nation against any threat from beyond.

Key Events

Within the capital, Tenguyama walks Toko through Yasuie's history. When a famished Toko once swallowed a SMILE fruit and was scarred by its lasting effect, Yasuie swallowed one too, sparing her from carrying that burden by herself. Grateful for his sacrifice, Toko reworks her Sky Ship into a message of thanks to her father. The stubborn Beasts Pirates move to keep fighting, but Yamato reveals it was Momonosuke who set the island down clear of harm and warns them off with the promise of a beating.

The senseless Kaidou returns to human form as he sinks underground, dropping into the very magma chamber that swallowed Big Mom and touching off a volcanic eruption that chokes the sky with ash. Momonosuke and the Nine Red Scabbards head back to the capital to soothe the alarmed townsfolk and herald both their triumph and the new shogunate.

Notes

This Wano Country Arc entry shows Luffy reverting to normal, opens Nekomamushi's speech with a flashback to Oden's death, and ends on a sakura-petal To Be Continued card echoing the one from Episode 1004. The adaptation stretches Kaidou's descent, Yamato catching Luffy, Toko's flashback and Sky Ship change, the undersea eruption, and the Scabbards' arrival in the capital.
