"One Piece" Chapter 1048 may mostly center on Momonosuke after the heart-warming flashback. Momo may be on the move to save Onigashima Island from falling and create a way to help Luffy defeat Kaido.
Fans expect a big twist happening in "One Piece" Chapter 1048. So, will Luffy finally bring Kaido down after their lengthy battle?
Epic Dope noted Luffy would be using his final move in the next chapter. However, there are doubts if their fight will finally end with his punch.
His next move is expected to be something big, hyping up the series with the damage it is about to cause. In fact, it is also believed that it will result in great destruction.
In addition, there are more exciting reveals and moves fans are waiting to see from the series. The story of Momo may also play out.
"One Piece" Chapter 1048 may feature more of Momo after fans saw a glimpse of his past, per GameRant. Momo bravely jumped 20 years into the future to follow his father's footsteps and save the Wano Country.
He has to move Onigashima from Luffy's way so that the latter can finally defeat Kaido. However, he has to create Homuragumo or Flame Clouds to make that move, but he seems to be having a hard time doing so.
So, there are theories Eiichiro Oda may use the Sky Boats that the citizens of the Flower Capital lit up to help Momo create the clouds. Several wishes are written on it that may help motivate Momo to make Homuragumo.
Oda may also use the flames to make Momo create Flame Clouds. It may also have something to do with Luffy's desire to save the country and free all the people.
It has been known that Luffy is looking after Wano after making a promise to Kin'emon. He also sees the people's wishes can help motivate him to do the impossible and take Kaido down finally.
So, Momo may move the island to pave the way for Luffy to use all his strength and end Kaido and his reign of terror. The next chapter may also touch on the issue of Orochi's death as he tried to take Hiyori with him as he died.
It may also see Denjiro step in his path and take this last moment to end his life for good. By the looks of it, "One Piece" Chapter 1048 has a lot of intense turn of events to feature when it drops on Sunday, May 8, after the one-week break.
