One Piece finally made its grand return with chapter 1054 last week and the manga only seems to be getting more intense as the Wano Country arc heads towards its end. In the previous chapter, fans got a glimpse of not just Wano Country but events from all over the world. Exposition on some of the major happenings in the world was finally delivered and it is safe to say that the momentous occasion of One Piece's return lived up to the expectations.
In Wano, Admiral Green Bull finally clashed with the Samurai and showed his phenomenal powers to the fans in even more detail. As expected, his Devil Fruit is one that lets him control forests at will and turn into them. Unfortunately for him, Yamato was there to stop his advances and managed to hold him at bay pretty effectively. Outside of Wano, fans got a glimpse of Shanks, who finally acknowledged Luffy has a Great Pirate. Furthermore, the fate of Sabo and the Revolutionary Army Commanders Was finally revealed. With that, fans expect One Piece 1055 to maintain the intensity and maybe even turn it up a notch.
One Piece 1055: A Continuation Of The Fight In Wano
It is pretty safe to say that the Wano Country arc hasn't wrapped up just yet, meaning that One Piece 1055 will most certainly give fans a glimpse of the events in the country. It is highly likely that fans will see Momonosuke deal with Green Bull in his own way and keep him from bringing harm to the country. At this point, it seems that Luffy and Green Bull will not come face to face with each other as that would bring shame to not just the Scabbards but also Yamato and Momonosuke. This could be the perfect place for Momonosuke to control his Devil Fruit better and put up some sort of a fight against the Admiral. At the same time, Yamato's presence is a big boost for Momo as he is tremendously powerful, after all. In Wano, fans could also see Luffy's reaction to the bounties of not just the new Yonko but also the other members of his crew and potentially even the former Shichibukai.
One Piece 1055: The Ancient of Weapon Pluton
One Piece 1053 teased the existence of the Ancient Weapon Pluton in the land of Wano. According to Nico Robin, The Poneglyph in Skypiea pointed towards the weapon being in Wano. Sukiyaki, the former Shogun of the country, confirmed that Pluton does indeed sleeps in Wano. Unfortunately, fans didn't get any further information on the weapon in the previous chapter. One Piece chapter 1055 might delve into that a bit more and reveal some of the biggest secrets about the weapon. Fans have waited for information on the Pluton since the Alabasta arc of the story and for Wano to finally deliver on that would be incredible indeed.
One Piece 1055: The Fate Of The Remaining Shichibukai
Along with the chaos in the land of Alabasta, the Shichibukai system being abolished is yet another storm brewing in the world of One Piece. Fans already know that Buggy was promoted to the position of Yonko, however, the fate of all the others remains unknown so far. Edward Weevil is one intriguing character who Oda will certainly bring into play sooner or later. His encounter with the Navy is likely to not end well for them as he has barely done anything significant so far.
Meanwhile, Dracule Mihawk is yet another character who fans would love to see in action. While it is quite unlikely for a Mihawk fight to feature in One Piece 1055, information about his clash with certain Navy members can very well be expected. Boa Hancock's case remains to be the most intriguing one out of all the Shichibukai. It goes without saying that Hancock is one of the very strongest characters in One Piece, however, Oda having teased her being in danger seems to suggest that something along those lines might very well happen. That said, the fate of an entire tribe rests on her shoulders and it is likely for her to emerge victorious in her clash against the Navy as well. At the same time, One Piece 1055 could very well deliver information on the newly evaluated bounties of the former Shichibukai. Now being hunted just like regular pirates, their rewards are going to be massive with figures over a billion berries expected for all of them.
