The latest episode of One Piece, 1084, begins with the children of Wano enjoying delicious dumplings and red bean soup, filling the air with a sense of joy. As we continue, we witness Luffy standing near the massive crater created by Kaido's destructive Bolo Breath, surveying the aftermath that completely obliterated Oden Castle.

In a flashback, the process of Oden constructing the castle after assuming the position of Daimyo of Kuri is depicted. Witnessing this awe-inspiring moment, Luffy pays tribute to the profound influence that Oden has had on Wano, accompanied by Oden's loyal retainers, Brooks, Carrot, Chopper, and Nami.

Okiku beautifully expresses that their fallen comrades, as well as Oden-sama, live on in their hearts.

Raizo suggests optimistically that maybe in the afterlife, they are all enjoying a feast. Nekomamushi fondly remembers Oden's incredible cooking abilities and how they used to all enjoy his Oden together. Nami suggests asking Sanji to recreate the dish.

Denjiro asks if Luffy is departing, and Luffy confirms. In gratitude for rescuing Wano from Kaido, they all bow and express their appreciation. However, Luffy insists that they should stop and emphasizes that they are all friends.

Carrot says goodbye to the Straw Hats

Carrot clings tightly to Luffy, her eyes glistening with tears. Reluctantly, she expresses her heartfelt farewell to Nami and the others, revealing her decision to return to the Mokomo Dukedom. Alongside Wanda and the group, she is determined to protect their homeland. Meanwhile, Chopper bids farewell to Miyagi and Tristan, who express gratitude for his invaluable teachings in medicine.

Curious, Brooks turns to Carrot, curious about her clandestine journey on the Sunny and asks her to rate her adventure. With a genuine smile, she confesses that this experience will forever hold a special place in her heart. She explains that she discovered unimaginable islands and encountered remarkable individuals. Even the challenging moments served to strengthen her resolve.

With that, she gave them all her patent hug once again before stating that she saw Zoro on her way here.

Zoro visits Yasui and Pedro's grave

In One Piece episode 1084, Zoro is depicted pouring sake onto the graves of Yasui and Pedro. Seated beside the graves, he engages in a solemn toast with his departed comrades. Toko soon joins him, offering assistance in pouring the sake. Subsequently, Hiyori enters the scene, resulting in a touching moment shared among the three.

Toko hopes that her father will have a beautiful temple where she can visit him daily to keep him company. Hiyori then inquires with Zoro about his impending departure, and Zoro confirms it. She admits that she will miss him and acknowledges that saying goodbye also means letting go of her father's Enma.

After a moment of silence, Zoro straightforwardly declares that retrieving Enma is an impossible feat. In response, Hiyori bursts into laughter. Zoro proceeds to recount his battle with Kaido, where he successfully inflicted a wound with Enma and rescued Luffy. Astonishingly, Kaido was able to perceive that Zoro wielded Oden's sword.

Zoro expresses his admiration for Oden's mastery of Enma, prompting Hiyori to acknowledge his significant role in protecting Wano with the same blade. Nevertheless, Zoro once made a vow to enhance his strength in order to wield Enma on par with Oden.

Remaining Straw Hats and their escapades

In One Piece episode 1084, Franky's boss confronts him about his flawless repairs on the Thousand Sunny, leaving him with nothing more to fix. Despite their argument, their deep bond becomes evident when they both shed tears during their farewell. Transitioning, Usopp carefully selects his attire and discreetly requests the dresser to prepare plain black clothing, sharing a whispered rationale that remains undisclosed to the audience.

Luffy fulfills his promise to Tama

In the meantime, Sanji can be spotted selling soba when an enchanting geisha named Some happens to approach him. Grateful for Sanji's act of saving her during the Raid at Onigashima, she expresses her heartfelt gratitude, harboring romantic feelings towards him. However, Sanji appears completely oblivious to her affections. He politely informs her of his imminent departure but is soon distracted when Robin makes her entrance.

One Piece episode 1084 proceeds to Okobore town, where the townspeople are engrossed in the construction of new homes. Among them, Otsuru kindly offers the workers red bean soup, and Tama along with Luffy each receive a bowl. Tama offers a prayer of gratitude before indulging in the meal, while Luffy encourages her to eat to her heart's content, honoring the promise he made to her.

However, Tama ceases her consumption and expresses her reluctance to part ways with Luffy, as it always brings about a profound sense of unease in her heart. In that moment, she reflects on the bitter reality that her beloved brother Ace, along with all the cherished individuals in her life, ultimately depart from her side.

Luffy expresses his gratitude for the precious gift of rice, assuring Tama that he will always remember this act of kindness. Tama regains her enthusiasm and assures Luffy that she will also never forget him and his companions.

With that, Luffy takes his leave, and as he walks away, Tama catches a glimpse of Ace in him once more. Tears fill her eyes as she expresses her heartfelt gratitude once again, promising that someday she will grow to be as strong as Luffy and Ace.

Straw Hats board their ship

In One Piece episode 1084, the Straw Hat crew and their allies prepare to board their ships. Before they leave, Chopper gives Beppo what fans speculate to be an improved version of his Rumble Balls. These could play a significant role in the future plot, although Chopper is unsure if they will work.

As they get ready to set sail, Nami expresses concern about leaving without saying goodbye to Momonosuke and Kin'emon. However, Luffy reassures them, confident that Momonosuke will join them later. This sets the stage for a final meeting between Momo and Luffy in the next episode.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z fan, I have mixed feelings about this episode. On the one hand, I'm excited to see the Straw Hats finally leave Wano and set sail for new adventures. On the other hand, I'm sad to see them go. Wano has been a great arc, and I've really enjoyed watching the Straw Hats grow and develop as characters. I'm also sad to see Carrot go. She's been a great addition to the crew, and I'm going to miss her.

Overall, I think this was a great episode. It was a fitting end to the Wano arc, and it left me excited for what's to come. I can't wait to see what the Straw Hats get up to next!
