## One Piece Chapter 1053, pages 8-9: The New Emperors - Chapter: 1053 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Nico Robin, Kozuki Sukiyaki, Pluton, Alabasta Poneglyph, Udon Prisoners, Ryokugyu, King, Queen, Beast Pirates, Navy ### Summary Page 8: Robin moves from Sukiyaki's identity to Wano's deepest secret. She asks directly about the ancient weapon Pluton, saying that the Alabasta poneglyph claimed it should be somewhere in this country. Sukiyaki confirms the impossible answer: "Indeed, it is here." Robin repeats the name, "The ancient weapon... Pluton!!" The page then cuts away to the Former Prisoner Mine in Udon, where the ruined quarry has begun to bloom with plants and flowers. A sudden cry of "Gyah" breaks the quiet, signaling that something violent has begun there. The chapter ties Wano's liberation to the ancient weapon mystery, then immediately introduces a new threat entering the country. Page 9: At the Former Prisoner Mine, Udon, the new growth is revealed as the work of Navy Admiral Ryokugyu. Plant-like tendrils pierce and drain the defeated Beast Pirates, including King and Queen. The men cry out to King-san and Queen-san while Queen, shriveled down, protests, "Hey, a post-diet physique doesn't suit me, you hear?!" Ryokugyu tells them, "Give it a rest, already! At my rank, I'd lose face if I let a few commanders like you get the best of me." He says the Navy does not have manpower to waste on the mess they left behind, and adds that he did not expect much of them anyway. He drinks from their stored booze with "Glug glug" sounds while the aftermath rings with "Ring ring crash phew." The page shows that a Marine admiral has entered Wano and casually crushed Kaido's remaining commanders.
