Chapter 1083

Sabo briefs Dragon and Ivankov that his team met all of its goals during the raid on the holy land. As the two press him for the truth about Cobra's death, the chapter flashes back to the Levely, where Revolutionary commanders clashed with the Admirals, Vivi fretted over Shirahoshi's safety, and Cobra readied himself for a private meeting with the Five Elders.

Sabo lists his accomplishments: toppling the World Nobles' symbol, rescuing Kuma, freeing as many slaves as possible, and destroying Mary Geoise's food stores. Dragon notes the campaign drew Marine attention and inspired twelve nations to rebel, eight succeeding apart from the annihilated Lulusia, halting their Heavenly Tribute and resource exports. In the flashback, Karasu reveals his Susu Susu no Mi soot powers and duels Fujitora, Morley fights a restrained Ryokugyu, and Lindbergh frees captives while several reborn CP0 agents watch the chaos.

Dragon warns the Knights of God will soon deploy as the real battle, with Sabo as their primary target, and reassures him that whatever happened with Cobra's assassination, the people see him as a hero. Ivankov demands the truth behind the newspaper photo of Sabo over Cobra's body. In the past, Sabo spotted Charlos and Rosward riding Kuma and plotting to enslave Shirahoshi. Vivi rebuffed Lucci's protection, and Cobra, summoned alone before the elders, asked Pell and Chaka to guard his daughter.
