## One Piece Chapter 1055, pages 12-13: New Age - Chapter: 1055 - Pages: 12-13 - Characters: Ryokugyu, Kozuki Momonosuke, Yamato, Monkey D. Luffy, Straw Hat Pirates, Kaido, Roronoa Zoro, O-Tama, Wano Defenders ### Summary Page 12: Ryokugyu explains his view of Wano's protection through Kaido's tyranny, saying he is sure living under that regime was miserable but that its imposed order kept other predators away. He shouts, "Just bring me 'Straw Hat' Luffy already!" and promises to leave them alone after he takes Luffy's head. Yamato says they should call Luffy and the gang to show this guy who's boss, but Momonosuke rejects it as unacceptable. Panting and still tangled in his dragon body, Momo reminds Yamato that after all that time chained up on Onigashima, Yamato finally has a chance to be free. He also says the same goes for Yamato: do not touch Ryokugyu. The page makes Momo's stance explicit: the people who fought for Wano must not be forced to remain its permanent shield. Page 13: Momonosuke explains why he refuses Yamato's help. He says that up until now he continued to rely on Luffy, Zoro, and the others, but it is imperative to prove that those staying in Wano can repel any enemy on their own. If they still depend on the people who wish to leave, he asks, how can they look them in the eyes and say Wano is safe with them? Momonosuke roars at Ryokugyu, "Now begone, you demon tree! Get out of here!" and repeats, "I said leave!!" Ryokugyu calls him a spoiled kid and says, "I guess even dragons can be pathetic..." Tama watches in tears, crying "Momonosuke-kun!!" The page turns Momo's clumsy resistance into a declaration of responsibility as shogun.
