## One Piece Chapter 1048, pages 8-9: 20 Years - Chapter: 1048 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Kurozumi Orochi, Kaido, Shimotsuki Yasuie, Wano Daimyo, Kibi Daimyo, Hakumai Daimyo, Ringo Daimyo, Udon Daimyo, Kozuki Oden, Wano Samurai, Wano Citizens, Beast Pirates, Orochi's Forces ### Summary Page 8: Orochi publicly demands that the daimyo choose: "Will you help us usher in a new Wano? Or will you try to wage war?" The daimyo answer that it is a stupid question with an obvious answer. Representatives from Kibi, Hakumai, Ringo, and Udon refuse to recognize a shogun who is not a Kozuki and declare it their duty to avenge Oden. The warriors charge against Kaido's dragon form, but the image of Kaido towering above them shows how unequal the war is. The page condenses the last organized resistance of Wano's regional lords: loyalty to Oden survives, but it is crushed beneath Kaido's overwhelming power. Page 9: The doomed rebellion is swept away by Kaido's dragon fire and force. Orochi laughs, "Gufufu hahaha!!" and sneers, "Muhaha!! Weaklings!! It would be an insult to call any of you samurai!!" As survivors hide and flee, one says, "Damn it!! If only that fool didn't have Kaido backing him...!!" Another warns them to be quiet because Orochi has ears everywhere and Kaido's forces will find them. The page captures the bitter shift from open defiance to fear. Everyone knows Orochi alone would not have ruled them, but Kaido's backing makes even speaking that truth dangerous.
