Chapter 1022

A narration sets the count: barely fifteen minutes remain before the floating island arrives at the Flower Capital, the whole Tobiroppo lineup has now been beaten, and Luffy stands fully restored after his feast. On the third floor, Fukurokuju ridicules Raizo for serving a dead lord, lashing him with his long earlobes and dismissing him as too emotional to count as a true shinobi. Raizo replies that those very feelings are what make the Nine Red Scabbards, who pursue Oden's wish by their own choice even at the cost of their lives.

Close by, Killer presses Hawkins on how many straw dolls he has left. As his supply dwindles, Hawkins takes a stab from Killer and shunts the injury into a doll tied to Kid, and a matching wound tears open on Kid during his clash with Big Mom. Hawkins savors forcing Killer to wound his own captain to win.

The narration confirms the entire Tobi Roppo are down, with Sasaki, Who's-Who, and Black Maria all shown out cold, and only fifteen minutes before the island arrives. Raizo's bout with Fukurokuju is depicted, the latter striking with his earlobes. Killer's struggle against Hawkins exposes that the pirate's last stand-in is linked to Kid, ripping a huge gash open on Kid mid-fight with Big Mom.

At the Live Stage, both All-Stars run wild over the defected crew. Marco hits his limit and is too drained to go on, which lets King reinforce Queen and overwhelm Sanji while they hunt the tamed Gifters. Once Sanji recovers, Perospero readies a candy arrow, only for Nekomamushi to knock him flying and chase after him. Marco blocks King's blow at Zoro and names King's race a fire-igniting people from the Red Line. Healed at last, Zoro and Sanji land their strikes on King and Queen.

Chopper assures Sanji that Zoro's medicine is merely slow to act, and Nekomamushi hurls Perospero outside to avenge Pedro after Shishilian confirms the target's identity. Declaring that the stars will now take the stage, Marco steps back, and a revived Zoro lands Rengoku Oni Giri on King while Sanji drives Diable: Mouton Shot into Queen, both vowing to glimpse Luffy crowned Pirate King once the war is won. The narration credits Tama's Kibi Dango plan and the samurai's grit for closing the gap between the 5,400-strong alliance and the Beasts Pirates' original 30,000. This is the 1022nd chapter of the Wano Country Arc, and its cover answers a request showing a frog and the Tontattas at hide-and-seek among hydrangea blossoms.
