Chapter 1037: Shuron Hakke

As the Flower Capital's celebration winds down, residents float wish-laden craft above the city, none of them aware that the floating fortress still drifts toward them. On the dome's roof Kaidou has resumed his human shape and begun drinking, which grates on Luffy. The pirate warns him the cups will be no excuse should he fall, but Kaidou answers that liquor only sharpens him now that he has at last accepted his own power. Each swallow tips him into a new and erratic temper, scrambling the rhythm of his strikes so his foe can never read what follows.

Hundreds of leagues away the Five Elders gripe over the Levely before their talk swings to Wano, where they had expected Robin seized or killed by now and demand action. A vessel posted near the country radios in about a towering silhouette mistaken for land, soon identified as the colossal elephant that bears the minks' homeland on its back. The arrival unsettles them, and one notes that a particular Devil Fruit, asleep for ages and dismissed as myth, had its true name swapped out on purpose so any trace of it would vanish from the world's chronicles.

Drunk, Kaidou weaves clear of Luffy's rush and replies with Shuron Hakke, then Warai Jogo: Ragnaraku, reverting to Human-Beast Form to slam him into the stone while debris rains on those still sheltered inside. Cycling through his Ochikomi, Naki, and Okori moods, the Emperor mourns the wreckage of his island, swats his rival off with Tatsumaki Kaifu, and lashes out via Raimei Hakke. Luffy slips that blow, plants a Supreme King Haki kick that splits Kaidou's lip, trades a conqueror's headbutt, then collides Gomu Gomu no Roc Gatling against Gundari Ryuseigun before sinking a fist into the giant's belly.

On the cover, three Germa siblings turn out to have lived: Judge along with Reiju and Ichiji. The festival edges toward its end as the rooftop duel grinds on. At Mary Geoise the Elders reveal the Government rewrote a Devil Fruit's name to mask its identity, a fruit dormant long enough to become mere legend, while Zunesha looms up behind the encircling fleet.

The installment is named Shuron Hakke, rendered in English as Drunken Dragon Bagua, and sits within the Wano Country Arc. Its cover advances the ongoing Germa side serial, where Judge exhales over a balcony beside two of his children. The chapter first hints that the suppressed fruit's identity was rewritten, timing the elephant's appearance to the Elders' rising unease.
