'One Piece' 1052 Spoilers Confirm A New Threat Is Coming To Wano

"One Piece" Chapter 1052 spoilers confirm that after the war that overthrew the power of Emperors of the Sea Kaido and Big Mom, a new threat is on its way to the closed country of Wano.

"One Piece" 1052 is most likely a transition installment following the action-packed chapters leading to the end of the "roof piece," otherwise known as the battle on the roof of the Skull Dome that sent Kaido to the bottom of the underwater volcano. Industry insiders claim the upcoming manga installment would show Zunishia has left because the borders are closed.

The spoilers also reveal that Hawkins had predicted Kaido's defeat but his pride prevented him from committing betrayal. Following the announcement of the new shogun, Wano Kuni has made significant progress, while Apoo and Inbi seem to have made up with the alliance.

The upcoming chapter will also confirm the death of the two Akazaya – Izo and Ashura. According to insiders, there will be a lot of Yamato fan service scenes, including Kaido's son's bath scene and some comedy scenes of the Straw Hats.

Interestingly, Admiral Green Bull or Ryokugyu is on his way to Wano. This admiral's identity is still unknown since he only ascended into the ranks during the two-year time skip along with Fujitora to fill the positions vacated by Aokiji and Akainu, the spoilers reveal.

The admiral is only known as Ryokugyu among his peers. He seems to be as carefree as Aokiji but is capable of handling serious tasks as proven when he and Fujitora confronted the revolutionary Army.

There is a theory making rounds online that Ryokugyu is Zoro's father, with the name "ryo' apparently being a common Wano name. This theory claims that both Fujitora and Greenbull have come from Wano because of their clothing.

Eiichiro Oda previously confirmed that Shimotsuki Ishimaru, despite his uncanny resemblance with Zoro, was not the swordsman's father. The latest theory suggests he is his grandfather.

"One Piece" 1052 is reportedly titled "New Morning" and is set to roll out Sunday. More spoilers could surface online sometime between Wednesday and Thursday, while raw scans could become available between Thursday and Saturday.
