## One Piece Chapter 1048, pages 5-7: 20 Years - Chapter: 1048 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Kaido, Kozuki Momonosuke, Kinemon, Kikunojo, Samurai, Alliance Fighters, Kozuki Oden, Kozuki Toki, Kurozumi Orochi, Kozuki Retainers, Wano Citizens, Kozuki Clan, Beast Pirates, Orochi's Forces ### Summary Page 5: As the sky battle continues, the scene cuts through the collapsing island and the memories of Wano's people. Someone cries, "Oh no!! Kin!! Kiku!!" while Luffy says, "I didn't mean to drop you!!" Below, allies beg, "Sir Straw Hat, we're counting on you!!" and "Take Kaido down!! Finish him for good!!" A wounded man pleads, "Please be alive!! Don't go dying on me now!!" Momo pants as he struggles to move the island, knowing the nightmare will not end unless Kaido is driven from the land. The memory then turns to Oden's execution, with people shouting "Oden-sama!!" and Kaido's retainers trying to prevent any survivor from escaping. Page 6: The flashback returns to the night Oden's retainers fled. People scream "Run!!" and "Don't look back!!" while others cry "Oden-sama!!" A gunshot rings out with a huge "Bang!!!" as Toki stands with tears in her eyes. Kaido and Orochi realize the fugitives intend to safeguard Oden's heir, Momonosuke. Orochi says there is only one place those samurai would go, Kuri, while Kaido notes that Oden has a son and says he will deal with him himself. This page records the moment the persecution of the Kozuki line becomes policy: Momo is not just a survivor, he is the target both tyrants know they must erase. Page 7: Kaido's forces and Orochi's men hunt down the Kozuki. Someone begs, "Please have mercy!! Stop hunting the Kozuki clan!!" but the order is to move, attack, and shoot any "vermin" that dares defy the shogun. People are cut down while crying out in pain, and Oden Castle burns as a report says, "What of Oden's wife? She was confirmed dead in Bakura Town. No one else was seen fleeing the ruins of Oden Castle." The announcement concludes, "The Kozuki line is officially dead!!" The page shows the regime trying to turn a massacre into certainty: if the heirs and retainers are gone, Wano can be forced to accept the lie that resistance is over.
