One Piece Readies for Luffy’s First Final Saga Mission

One Piece is now getting ready for the first real stage of the final saga of the series, and the newest chapter of the manga is gearing up for Luffy’s next big mission on the open seas! Following all of the shake ups in the fight against Kaido and Big Mom on Wano, Luffy and the Straw Hats are heading out to an even more complicated open sea. Although he’s now at a more prominent position than ever before, Luffy’s now got his mind set on figuring out exactly what the next major step of his journey to the One Piece will be.

Now that Luffy has officially been crowned one of the new Emperors of the sea, the final race for the One Piece treasure itself is on. Luffy and the Straw Hats need to find the final pieces to the overall puzzle, discover more of the Road Poneglyphs, and there’s one other major mystery that Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law have discovered that Luffy has yet to. Apparently part of their major next mission for the journey ahead is getting to the bottom of what “finding the man with the burn scar” really means. 

Chapter 1056 of One Piece picks up a few days after the Akazaya Nine and Momonosuke were able to fight off Admiral Ryokugyu off of Wano’s shores, and that means Luffy and the Straw Hats have properly healed enough and are ready to sail back out into the seas. It’s then revealed that Law and Kid’s crews also decided to depart from Wano on the same day, and thus the three of them argue about which of the three directions from their current Log Pose to follow. Law picks Northeast, Kid ends up getting his choice of East, and Luffy ends up with Southeast. 

Kid and Law then talk about the final fight for the One Piece treasure, and it’s here that they end up dropping hints about “finding the man with the burn scar.” Not even Nico Robin knows what this is, so this will be Luffy’s first major mission following Wano. Yes he’s in a race with everyone else to get to the final island, but first he needs to figure out what this major clue means for the rest of the seas. It’s just a matter of seeing who gets there first! What do you think of Luffy’s next mission so far? Let us know all of your thoughts about it in the comments!
