In the latest developments of ONE PIECE, the world government has demonstrated its overwhelming power by erasing the Kingdom of Lulucia in an instant. This raises questions about the reasons behind Wano’s isolation and the construction of its defensive walls. If we assume that this “great power” is the ancient weapon Uranus, the motivations for Wano’s actions become even more perplexing. The explanation provided by Kozuki Sukiyaki also leaves much to be desired.

The Awakening of Momonosuke

In the latest developments of ONE PIECE, the world government has demonstrated its overwhelming power by erasing the Kingdom of Lulucia in an instant. This raises questions about the reasons behind Wano’s isolation and the construction of its defensive walls. If we assume that this “great power” is the ancient weapon Uranus, the motivations for Wano’s actions become even more perplexing. The explanation provided by Kozuki Sukiyaki also leaves much to be desired.

Protecting Wano from the “Great Power”

• In the past, it was the Kozuki clan that closed off this country from the outside world.
• This was done to protect Wano from the “great power”!

This statement by Kozuki Oden, in response to a question from his retainers about what he learned at sea, suggests that the truth about the world and its history was revealed to him upon reaching Laugh Tale. This connects to Sukiyaki’s remarks, where he admits that he does not know what Oden discovered abroad.

The Mystery of Sukiyaki’s Words

Sukiyaki mentions that Wano, which is now submerged underwater, was once a thriving nation around 800 years ago. This implies that the Wano we see today is not the same as it was back then. The timeline suggests that something significant happened during the century of silence that led to Wano’s current state. The defensive walls built by the Kozuki clan were meant to protect against the “great power,” but how effective can such walls be against an aerial assault?

The Connection to Uranus

It is speculated that the “great power” that wiped out the Kingdom of Lulucia is linked to Imu and the world government. The question remains: how does Wano’s isolation relate to this? Simply closing off the country does not seem like a viable solution against such overwhelming force. However, if Oden spoke the truth, then perhaps there is a way to prevent Wano from meeting the same fate as Lulucia.

The Role of Momonosuke

As the story progresses, Momonosuke’s potential to awaken as the “White Dragon” becomes a focal point. The connection between the color white and dawn (DAWN) suggests that Momonosuke’s awakening could signify a new beginning for Wano and the world. If he can harness the power of the artificial devil fruit he consumed, he may indeed become a formidable force against the world government.

Conclusion

The developments surrounding Momonosuke and the implications of his awakening as the “White Dragon” are crucial to the unfolding narrative of ONE PIECE. As we await further revelations, it is clear that the themes of legacy, power, and the fight against oppression will continue to resonate throughout the series.
