Ch. 1051: The Shogun of Wano - Kozuki Momonosuke

00AI-written

No description for this page.

The official cover page reads "Chapter 1051: The Shogun of Wano - Kozuki Momonosuke." It continues Germa 66's cold-blooded voyage, volume 13: "Germa escapes!" The cover-story image shows the Germa siblings walking away from the burning lab in a dramatic formation after the rescue, with smoke and wreckage behind them. This is official cover-story material rather than the main Wano succession scene, so it is retained as useful extra context.

In the Flower Capital, people realize they do not need to flee. Someone says the dragon really was not Kaido, while another wonders if there are now two dragons. The mysterious figures who came with the dragon stand before the castle, and citizens shout that something is happening in front of the castle and ask how Komurasaki can be there. Behind the smoke, Kinemon tells the others that the two of them have surely made names for themselves, then wonders whether the rest will still be recognizable to the people. The page opens the public reveal after the battle: the capital sees living legends and impossible survivors stepping out of what looked like a monster's arrival.

Kinemon steps forward, and the crowd cries out, "Ki!! Ki!! Kin'emon-dono?!" Some cannot believe it because they thought he burned with Oden Castle that day. Others ask whether they are dreaming, but Kinemon says they have passed on to the next life, though he does not remember dying. One onlooker says that whether this is reality or fantasy, they are about to see something monumental. People urge someone to fetch a light-scroll snail because they need to get the word out to the rest of Wano. The page turns Kinemon's return into a national event: the citizens are not just seeing survivors, they are seeing the Red Scabbards return from prophecy.

The crowd recognizes the prophecy's fulfillment. People shout that it is the Red Scabbards and that Toki-sama's prophecy came true, saying they had been assumed dead for twenty years. The news spreads across Wano to Kibi, Hakumai, and Ringo, where people ask whether the villages will shake apart, whether this is about the earthquake, and whether something is happening in the capital. Shinobu, still in her youthful form, appears with Momonosuke and the retainers, while Kinemon hurries the group onward. The page lets the revelation ripple outward: the capital's miracle becomes a countrywide broadcast that the old promise has returned.

More regions hear the commotion. In Udon, people say this is not the time to stand around and watch, while in Kuri others head to Bakura Town because something is being broadcast from the capital. Ebisu Town's laughing residents ask what the fuss is about as the snail transmission begins from the Flower Capital. On Onigashima, Beast Pirates question Yamato, asking if the war is not over yet and whether she means she is Kaido's son. Yamato tells them to hold on because she is not their enemy, then says she has been following the exploits of the alliance in the news for ages and is shocked to finally meet them in person. The page shifts from Wano's public miracle to Yamato's awkward first contact with Luffy's allies.

Yamato formally introduces herself to the Straw Hats, saying, "Anyway!! I'll be sailing with you from now on! I go by Kozuki Oden, but you can call me Yamato! Nice to meet you!!" The crew reacts in shock, with Franky asking if she is joining their crew. Brook approves, Sanji is delighted, and Jinbe says they will need confirmation from the captain before he will be convinced. Elsewhere, Chopper and others worry over Luffy and Zoro, asking whether Luffy will be okay after such an intense battle and that strange form. Momonosuke's retainers chase after him, saying they do not want to be servants like the others. The page mixes huge future implications with immediate exhaustion: the crew may have a new crewmate, but Luffy is still unconscious.

Tama explains what will happen to the gifters she tamed. Her dango jutsu wears off when the moon's shape comes back around, so it only lasts about a month. Some animals normally return to normal afterward, though some stay tamed if they choose what they like best. Horselina says she wants to stay by Tama's side and be happy like this, but Tama says she would love for Horselina to stay with her not as a servant, but as a mother. As Tama and Nami react emotionally, someone points out that Komurasaki and Kinemon are kneeling with everyone else. The page gives Tama a personal ending to her role in the raid: her power was temporary, but the bonds she made can become family by choice.

Momonosuke begins his address before the Flower Capital. He says it has been twenty long years since his father died, and that the people have all done exceptionally well to survive this protracted winter. The crowd reacts in shock and tears to hearing him speak as Oden's son. He then declares that the freedoms of the fire festival will not end tonight: starting tomorrow, all of them will be able to live as they wish, and they may drink as much as they please. One citizen already worries what Orochi will do, but Momo's words mark the first public promise that daily life in Wano will change immediately.

Momonosuke continues laying out the end of Orochi's regime. He says the people will no longer be charged for clean water, the toxic factories that ravaged the land will be abolished, and slavery will cease to exist in Wano from this day forward. The speech is intercut with Tama's memories of starvation and loss. In the past, she and Komachiyo sit hungry while no one buys their woven hats. Later, after her parents die as factory workers, someone tells her that her father and mother are gone and that this will be difficult to hear. Tama sobs for her parents, then tells them to rest easy because she is going to be okay. The page makes Momo's policy promises concrete by showing the exact suffering they answer.

The flashback follows Tama trying to survive after her parents' deaths. She sells woven hats, calling out, "Woven hats for sale!!" while people say they have no money to spare. Tenguyama Hitetsu buys one and reveals he knows she is an orphan, telling her that the Kozuki clan's mighty warriors will return soon. When that day comes, he says, they will finally be rid of the demonic oni poisoning the land. Tama asks whether that is really true, and when he tells her to keep going for a few more years, she smiles and says she will be okay. The page shows how prophecy kept even a starving child moving: Tama's hope was not abstract, it was the belief that someone would end the poisoned country.

Back in the present, Nami holds Tama as she cries. Tama sobs, "Otama?! Tama!!" while Nami tells everyone not to celebrate like this is special just for Tama, because by the time they leave the country, it will be a place where she can eat as much as she wants every single day. Momo's speech confirms that Orochi's tyrannical regime and the menace of Kaido are gone for good, and that their ninja-pirate-mink-samurai alliance raided Onigashima with powerful and passionate friends he met on his voyage. The page ties Luffy's dream from the previous chapter directly to Tama's life: victory means a child like her never has to starve again.

Momonosuke names the defeated enemies: Kaido, Orochi, and the Beast Pirates, the monsters that kept the people living in fear, have all been vanquished. The crowd erupts in disbelief and relief, asking whether he is serious and whether Orochi is truly gone. The allies react too, with Kid grimacing at the mention of their alliance while the people shout that the heroes who paved the way will never be forgotten. The page is the public break from terror. For twenty years the people could not safely name their oppressors as defeated; now Momo announces their fall in the center of the capital.

Momonosuke grows nervous in the middle of the speech. He whispers, "Psst! Kin'emon! Now what?! I'm not sure what to say next..." and Kinemon quietly tells him, "Fake it 'til you make it!!" Momo remembers Luffy asking what he is, just a figurehead, and whether anything in the world still seems scary to him. Gathering himself, Momo declares that his name was given by his father and means "second to none." He swears to live up to it by restoring the country's barren lands to the paradise they once were, but admits he will need the people's strength. The page shows both sides of him: the frightened boy still needing help and the new shogun choosing to speak with resolve anyway.

Momonosuke remembers his promise to his mother and father, then steps fully into his adult form before the people. Hiyori, Yamato, and the retainers watch with tears and pride as he declares, "Wano will be led by me, Kozuki Momonosuke!!" The page is the visual culmination of his journey from the terrified child who could not bear the weight of Oden's legacy to the adult heir who can stand in the capital and claim responsibility for the nation. The crowd sees not a pink dragon or a child from the past, but the son of Oden and Toki taking the title Wano waited twenty years to restore.

The narrator closes the chapter by describing the future sky where sakura petals dance and warriors can finally rest their blades. A man eight years of age surveys the progress of the renowned land of samurai. He may lack physical strength, but he compensates with devotion to duty and boundless compassion, and he will one day be known far and wide as one of Wano's greatest leaders. The crowd cries out for the true shogun's return, while Momonosuke apologizes for the delay and the people chant his name. The page marks the birth of the great shogun Kozuki Momonosuke and frames his reign as the answer to the suffering of the previous twenty years.
