In One Piece episode 1082, Momonosuke unleashes the powerful Bolo Breath. The episode begins in Wano with a lively banquet, as the Straw Hats enjoy the festivities. However, amidst the celebration, the Nine Red Scabbards and Momonosuke find themselves struggling to fend off the formidable Ryokugyu.

Despite their relentless efforts to cut down the roots and branches conjured by the Admiral's Woods-Woods Devil Fruit, new ones stubbornly sprouted. Raizo's attempt to burn them proved futile.

Amidst this ongoing struggle, Momonosuke remained resolute in his belief that Yamato should refrain from engaging in battle, as he no longer wished to depend on others to protect his homeland. Despite facing numerous setbacks, Momonosuke ultimately managed to replicate Kaido's powerful Bolo Breath technique, igniting Ryokugyu in a blaze.

In One Piece episode 1082, Sukiyaki guided Robin and Law underground, where they unexpectedly came across a Road Poneglyph. With just one more Poneglyph to find, they would be able to uncover the path to Laugh Tale.

Within the underground passage, they came across a glass block that revealed an entire city submerged under the water. Sukiyaki revealed that this city was the ancient Wano, dating back 800 years.

The city became submerged due to the surrounding walls of Wano, preventing the rainwater from draining out. Consequently, the people of Wano had no choice but to construct a new city at higher elevations in the mountains.

Sukiyaki further disclosed the existence of an ancient weapon, Pluton, which lay hidden within the old city and could only be accessed if the borders were unsealed. This revelation left everyone perplexed, as Oden had left behind instructions prior to his demise that the borders ought to be opened.

In episode 1082 of One Piece, fans witnessed Momonosuke's fiery assault falling short in halting Ryokugyu. Shanks, sailing on his ship just off the shores of Wano, expressed his disapproval of Ryokugyu's focus on vulnerable youths who had recently endured a war. Challenging the admiral's apprehension towards the upcoming generation, Shanks utilized his Conqueror's Haki to compel him to withdraw.

In the previous episode, Shanks took pride in admiring Luffy's most recent wanted poster, triggering nostalgia of their past encounter when Luffy was just a young child. However, Shanks made the decision to refrain from meeting Luffy, primarily due to the latter's growing infamy among the public. With determination, Shanks confided in Benn Beckman that the time had come for them to seize the elusive treasure known as the One Piece.

In Wano, the Nine Red Scabbards, Momonosuke, and Yamato faced off against Ryokugyu, but they were overpowered by the Admiral's Woods-Woods Devil Fruit.

Meanwhile, elsewhere, Kuroma reported to Akainu that Sabo had initiated a war against the Celestial Dragons by targeting their symbol at Marie Geois. Sabo was accused of freeing Kuma and assassinating King Cobra of Alabasta. Moreover, he was suspected of having a role in Princess Vivi's disappearance.

Editor's P/S

In One Piece episode 1082, Momonosuke finally unleashes his true strength by replicating Kaido's powerful Bolo Breath technique. This display of power not only saves Wano from the clutches of Ryokugyu but also solidifies Momonosuke's position as the rightful shogun. It is clear that Momonosuke has inherited his father's strength and determination, and he is ready to lead Wano into a new era of peace and prosperity.

The episode also provides more insight into the mysteries of Wano's history. Robin and Law discover an ancient city submerged underwater, which was once the home of the people of Wano. This revelation suggests that Wano has a much richer and more complex history than previously thought, and it is likely that we will learn more about it in future episodes.
