## One Piece Chapter 1048, pages 9-10: 20 Years - Chapter: 1048 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Kaido, Kurozumi Orochi, Wano Samurai, Wano Citizens, Beast Pirates, Orochi's Forces, Wano Workers ### Summary 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. Page 10: Wano is transformed into an industrial prison. Orochi orders his men to track down every able-bodied young man and bring them in, while smokestacks rise across the country and someone declares, "This entire country will become our weapons factory!!" Workers are beaten and chained while families cry, "Daddy!!!" and beg, "Wait! Please don't take him!!" The land dries out beneath factory pollution: people ask why the river has gone dark, say there is no more drinking water, and cry that the crops will not grow and there is nothing left to eat. The page shows Wano's suffering as deliberate policy: people, water, farmland, and labor are all consumed for weapons.
