The episode 1079 of One Piece started with the Five Elders expressing their discontent with the ongoing situation in Wano. They were unhappy to see Nika's presence and the consecutive defeats of two of the four Emperors of the Sea. Additionally, they faced the challenge of not being able to exert control over Wano due to its sealed borders. Consequently, the Gorosei requested the assistance of CP0 to apprehend Nico Robin, at the very least.

A week after the conclusion of the Onigashima battle, a palpable sense of jubilation filled the air in Wano. The newly appointed shogun, Momonosuke, announced that another festival would be held, adding to the prevailing cheer. People reveled in the newfound freedom to indulge in food and drink, while children eagerly absorbed the knowledge of Wano's rich history.

Amidst this vibrant atmosphere, Luffy and Zoro finally regained consciousness in One Piece episode 1079. Roused from their slumber, they wasted no time in voraciously devouring copious amounts of food and drink. Momonosuke himself eagerly disclosed his anticipation of hosting a grand banquet for their awakening.

Afterwards, all the individuals proceeded to cleanse themselves as Yamato's fervent prayer had been answered. Yamato had made a solemn promise to the deities and Buddha that no sustenance, drink, or personal hygiene would be indulged in until the awakening of both Luffy and Zoro.

In the meantime, Kid expressed concern in One Piece episode 1079 that news of Kaido and Big Mom's defeat may have been leaked, and that they would now be hunted as potential successors to the Emperors of the Sea. Law concurred, emphasizing the need for constant vigilance given that their adversaries remained unseen. This was primarily due to the isolation of Wano from the rest of the world.

The episode ended with a shot of Admiral Ryokugyu flying to Wano, despite Fleet Admiral Akainu's warning to not interfere any further.

A quick summary of the previous episode

As shown in One Piece episode 1079 (Image via Toei), Momonosuke appeared in front of the people of Wano to reveal his true identity as the son of Kozuki Oden. Taking this opportunity, Momonosuke declared that everyone would now be liberated from the oppressive reign of Orochi and Kaido, as their tyranny had come to an end.

In the meantime, the Straw Hats were surprised to learn that Yamato was Kaido's son. Expressing a strong interest in joining their crew, Yamato was reminded by Jinbe that Luffy's approval as captain was necessary.

The episode also highlighted Tama and her recollections. Not only did she discover a nurturing figure in Horeselina, but her vision of a liberated Wano became a reality, all thanks to Luffy.
