One Piece Chapter 1052 Shows The Aftermath of Luffy and Kaido's Battle

The next chapter will start with Gorosei talking to a CP0 Agent about Kaido and Big Mom's defeat. They couldn't believe that two Emperors had fallen at the same time. The entire Wano country celebrates the victory of "Joy Boy" over Kaido. Luffy and Zoro both wake up simultaneously, and while Monkey D. Luffy asks for "Meat," Zoro asks for "Sake" as soon as he wakes up.

Both Luffy and Zoro are shocked to see Momo's adult form, and they wonder if his physical appearance is inherited from Oden. However, Momo still has the mind of a ten-year-old, so everyone starts teasing him. The chapter does confirm that Ashura and Izo died during the battle; however, it has been a week since Luffy and Kaido's battle, so everyone in the country focuses on the grand party. Meanwhile, Ryokugyu arrives near Wano, and Akainu asks him not to do anything recklessly.

We already know that One Piece is now heading towards the Final Saga, which will begin from Chapter 1054. So, there's a chance that Ryokugyu's appearance in the next chapter will kick off the final arc. Well, we'll get some of our answers in the following two chapters.
