## One Piece Chapter 1048, pages 3-4: 20 Years - Chapter: 1048 - Pages: 3-4 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Kaido, Kozuki Oden, Wano Citizens, Hyogoro ### Summary Page 3: Kaido transforms his dragon body into a blazing form and declares, "Flaming Drum Dragon!!" A note explains that the kanji means "great blazing dragon torch" and that it sounds like "Kane Daiko," the flaming drum from a classic rakugo tale. Kaido says that Wano has been a lawless land since Oden died and that the people waited all this time for their "saviors" to show up. Luffy tells him, "Don't worry, it's okay to let go. I assure you, I won't run!" and trusts that his right hand will not crash down on the capital because he is going to vaporize Kaido. The page raises both attacks to apocalyptic size. Page 4: Luffy remembers Hyogoro teaching him how to strike without touching, explaining that what he calls "Haki" is known as "Ryuo" in Wano. He winds up "Gomu Gomu no..." and says, "Like I'll let that happen!" while Kaido prepares "Rising Dragon... Blazing Bagua!!" The two attacks meet at a distance: Luffy calls out "Bajrang Gun!!" while Kaido's burning dragon form surges upward. A note ties Bajrang to Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god and potential inspiration for Sun Wukong. The page makes Luffy's final blow an advanced Haki attack rather than a simple giant fist, using Hyogoro's Wano lesson as the key.
