With the epic battle on Onigashima coming to an end, the heroes were trying to get some well-earned rest. Unfortunately, not long after their victory, a new problem surfaced in the form of a Marine Admiral. The Marines had stayed away from Wano because they knew they couldn’t handle facing two Yonko at the same time. Also, the presence of other pirates didn’t make things easier for the biggest organization in One Piece. But Admiral Ryokugyu decided to take matters into his own hands. He arrived in Wano and used his abilities to completely nullify the threat of the remnants of the Beasts Pirates. Ryokugyu planned to capture Luffy and hand him over to Akainu. The Admiral hoped that doing so would get him into the good books of the Fleet Admiral. As Shanks and his crew etched closer to Wano, the Yonko began to reminisce about the time when he stole the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika from a CP9 ship. He also remembered how Luffy consumed it after mistaking it for a regular fruit. The other members of the Red Hair Pirates were extremely excited by the prospect of meeting Luffy. However, Shanks refused to do so. Instead, he shockingly admitted that it was about time they claimed the One Piece.
At the Marine Headquarters, Sakazuki was talking to Kurouma and Kizaru about the Revolutionary Army’s invasion of Marijoa. The Revolutionary Army managed to free Bartholomew Kuma from the clutches of the Celestial Dragons. However, this wasn’t the only big news to come out of the Holy Land. Nefertari Cobra, the king of Alabasta, was murdered, and the blame was pinned on Sabo. Cobra’s daughter, Vivi, had disappeared mysteriously, and her current whereabouts were unknown. The attack by the Revolutionary Army earned them a great deal of fame. Sabo was given the title of Flame Emperor, and he was praised throughout the world for his heroics. Once the conversation was finished, Sakazuki expressed his anger over the fact he had to become Fleet Admiral in such a troublesome era. However, he was still confident that he would eliminate everyone who posed a threat to the World Government. Back in Wano, Ryokugyu was fighting the Scabbards. It was unfair to them, as they had just fought in a massive war in Onigashima. The Admiral quite obviously overwhelmed them, even though they were backed up by Momonosuke and Yamato.

One Piece Episode 1082 Release Date
The next episode of One Piece is going to have plenty of action, so fans are eagerly awaiting its release. One Piece Episode 1082 will be released on November 5, 2023. It is titled, “The Coming of the New Era! The Red-Haired’s Imperial Rage”. From the title, it is clear that the focus will be on Shanks. The captain of the Red Hair Pirates has already made it clear that his intention is to claim the One Piece. So, he will continue to move toward Wano. Shanks openly confirming that his target is the One Piece is a big point in the story. Before this, Shanks hadn’t revealed his true aim. This also means that he is a rival to Luffy and will do everything in his power to claim the treasure that his late captain left on Laugh Tale.
In Episode 1081, Ryokugyu made his first full appearance, so it would have been underwhelming if fans hadn’t gotten the opportunity to see his Devil Fruit powers and what he could do with them. As an Admiral, fans were expecting Ryokugyu to dominate the Scabbards, Yamato, and Momonosuke. Needless to say, he showed his incredible power and absolutely manhandled all of them.
If Yamato joins the fight, he will make a massive difference. He possesses a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit and all three types of Haki. He was able to fight his father in 1v1, which is extremely impressive considering the only other person to do so was Luffy.
In One Piece Episode 1082, Ryokugyu will continue his onslaught. The Admiral clearly has a powerful Devil Fruit, and his Haki is nothing to be scoffed at either. The Scabbards and Momonosuke will have to dig deep to find a counter to Ryokugyu’s abilities. If they are defeated, Luffy and the others still have enough power to take down Ryokugyu. The crew has become much stronger since their last encounter with an Admiral. So, it won’t be a problem for them to take one down.
Where To Watch
One Piece Episode 1082 will be available on Crunchyroll shortly after its premiere in Japan. It will have Japanese audio with English subtitles. Fans who want to watch the dubbed version will have to wait a while, as it hasn’t caught up.
