## One Piece Chapter 1055, pages 16-17: New Age - Chapter: 1055 - Pages: 16-17 - Characters: Shanks, Ryokugyu, Red Hair Pirates, Benn Beckman, Lucky Roux, Yasopp, Kozuki Momonosuke, Navy, Monkey D. Luffy, Eustass Kid, Trafalgar Law, Nico Robin, Yamato ### Summary Page 16: Before Ryokugyu can press the attack, a massive wave of Conqueror's Haki crashes over him. He freezes, shouting, "That conqueror's haki!! Who the hell...?!" and then realizes, "The Red Hair Pirates...? You're here too?" On a ship offshore, Shanks' crew reacts to the intensity, warning their boss not to go all out with his haki like that because the newbies are foaming at the mouth. Ryokugyu says he will not call Marines cowardly or underhanded for retreating here, but argues it would be bad form to go after worn-out saplings after they are exhausted from making pirate history. The page abruptly turns the battle with Wano's defenders into a confrontation with Shanks' unseen presence. Page 17: Shanks' haki continues to dominate the scene from offshore. With images of Luffy, Kid, Law, Robin, and other figures from the new generation in mind, Shanks asks, "Does the new age... frighten you that much?" The pressure is enough that Ryokugyu gives up, saying, "I get it already! It's not like I want to pick a fight... with you guys... Not today anyway." He retreats rather than challenging the Red Hair Pirates while Wano's defenders remain stunned. The page directly ties the chapter title to Shanks' protection of the rising era: the old powers may fear the new age, but Shanks chooses to back its emergence rather than crush it.
