One Piece Reveals Momo's Surprising Major Save
One Piece has reached the climactic finale of the fight between Luffy and Kaido in the skies about Wano, and the newest chapter of the series definitely took fans by surprise with Momonosuke Oden's last minute save! The war across Onigashima has reached its final moments as the previous chapter of the series teased the end of the fight between Luffy and Kaido as both of the powerhouses unleashed what looked like their final attacks. All the while, Momonosuke had been tasked with the biggest mission in the war yet as he had to make sure that Onigashima didn't crash down on Wano's Flower Capital below.
Momo was tasked with somehow using his dragon Devil Fruit powers to develop the same kind of flame clouds that Kaido had been using to keep Onigashima afloat throughout the war, but with Luffy potentially dealing the final blow to Kaido, Momo needed to replace these clouds to make sure the island didn't crash down below. This finally comes to pass with the newest chapter of the series as Momo digs deep in the moment of truth and saves Onigashima from crashing as the final blow is dealt to Kaido.
Chapter 1049 of One Piece sees Luffy nail Kaido with one final and powerful punch, and for now it looks like the Emperor has been defeated for good. The problem with that and with Luffy launching that final punch, however, was that Luffy had put all of his faith into making sure that Momo was able to save Onigashima from falling. Momo had been nervous about getting such a massive responsibility as he and Yamato had been struggling to help form his flame clouds despite all of his efforts to do so thus far.
But as the final blow lands, Momo finally unlocks the flame cloud ability just in time and he catches Onigashima just as it was about to come colliding with the ground. He manages to keep it afloat long enough to make sure it lands gently on the ground, so while Luffy had dealt the final blow Momo was the one to literally make sure that Wano's future was kept alive. Saving them from a huge bit of destruction, now he's truly gone full circle as the country's future rule.
