We saw Luffy use his fist to blanket the skies of the capital in flashbacks in the previous chapter of One Piece. Chapter 1048 has now become the most anticipated chapter in the series. Here’s all you need to know about the new release date for One Piece’s upcoming chapter. Even though the One Piece anime series has only just begun, Eiichiro Oda’s manga series has already progressed greatly in the war between Luffy and Kaido. In order to prove to Kaido, Emperor of the Sea, that he is the worthy heir to the King of Pirates, Luffy must now become powerful enough. It’s doubtful that Kaido would be destroyed this early, but Luffy’s Gear 5 has taken him by surprise. As a result, Kaido’s reaction to Luffy’s strikes in the next chapter will be interesting to see.

Warning: Spoilers ahead in One Piece Chapter 1047
In Chapter 1047, Momonosuke is making Flame Clouds save Onigashima, and Yamato is cheering him on. Nevertheless, no matter how hard he tries, the clouds will not appear. He reminisces about the last time he saw his mother before embarking on a journey into the unknown. Toki encouraged her son to join Kin’emon’s company while their castle burned to the ground. In Momo’s capacity to restore their family’s strength, she had complete confidence. Kin’emon chided Momo for resisting and sobbing, but Momo remained defiant.
He told him that for a samurai, disgrace is as heavy a weight as death. When Momo was no longer a child, it was impermissible to interrogate his mother about such a significant decision. To Momonosuke, Kin’emon begged, requesting that he let him and the others fight once more like samurai. As Kin’emon lowered his head in respect, the rest of the retainers, including Momo, began to shake and sob. As he stepped away from his mother, he wiped away his own tears. After a little pause, he turned back to face Toki. There were floods of joy running down his cheeks as she told him that she was ready. Momo has a renewed sense of purpose now that he has realised how much he has let his mother down.
To halt Onigashima from nearing the Flower Capital, he makes one last attempt to conjure up enough clouds to block it. Time is running out, and the city is on the horizon. Luffy’s ability to control the lightning on the Skull Dome’s roof impresses Kaido. In order to spear Kaido, Luffy launches the lightning with his Gum-Gum Lightning attack. Kaido gets to his feet and unleashes his own onslaught. Kaido hits Luffy with his kanabo, causing him to fall to the ground.
The second bolt of lightning is grabbed by Luffy, who spins around it to gain velocity. In preparation for an attack, he slingshots himself at Kaido.
Kaido is steadfast in his belief that the Devil Fruit lacks the ability to conquer the world. He strikes his kanabo against Luffy’s head with such force that he loses consciousness. As Kaido proceeds, Roger’s face collapses in on itself, as if to say that he ascended to prominence despite having any Devil Fruit skills. He knocks Luffy to the ground with one more swing. Kaido hits again, claiming that only Haki is capable of overcoming barriers, and Luffy responds by bouncing back. Destroyer of Death Thunder Bagua strikes again, this time launching Luffy into the air. Before he disappears into the ether, Luffy manages to grab hold of him.
Kaido tries to pin down Luffy’s location by swinging at his arm. Kaido hits Luffy with a Dragon Twister-Demolition Gust since he understands that Luffy is still weak to cutting attacks. Luffy’s body gets slashed open by the strike. Flower Capital inhabitants deploy sky boats from a distance. Laughing, they watch as the lanterns take off, each with a unique message. They know they’ll go back to servitude the next day, but they nevertheless dance and grin in the hopes of making it another year. Kaido continues to plead with Luffy to let him out of the sky once more. A result of Luffy’s breath attack is that he gets burned and charred.
It is clear to Hyogoro and the other samurai in the Skull Dome that Kaido is losing his grip on power. Hyogoro explains their predicament and asks if they have any preferences. There are only two outcomes: either Luffy succeeds and Onigashima crumbles and traps everyone, or they survive and Kaido prevails. They grin and wish Luffy the best for Wano’s sake, knowing that victory may mean death. Their family and nation will be spared, even if the two of them are killed, so they may rest easy. They encourage Luffy, while Kid stands calmly by, observing the proceedings. Faced with the reality that they would all die, Hyogoro calmly says, “And what’s wrong with that?”
After being washed away by Raizo’s flood, Hamlet and Usopp are still running for their lives in the Basement. Kanjuro’s spirit set Orochi on fire in the Treasure Repository, where he remains today. This island’s tremors cause the Sea Prism Stone nail that had been keeping him from regaining his Devil Fruit capabilities to loosen. A frightened Hiyori watches as Oden changes into a snake and pleads with Hiyori to join him in Hell. Someone outside calls out to Momonosuke. When he and Yamato look up, they see a massive fist hovering above them, they are shocked. A truce has been agreed upon, and Momo is asked to move the island out of harm’s way. Despite Momo’s objections, Yamato is convinced that Luffy is poised to pound his way through Onigashima. Momo is encouraged by Luffy’s declaration that he believes in him.
