One Piece enters its final saga! It is with these few words that Eiichiro Oda accompanied the release of the last chapters, available in France on Glénat's Manga Max platform. But for those who wish to stay for some time in the fury of the Wa no Kuni arc, here is a return to volume 102 of the manga!
Reminder of the facts
The Battle of Onigashima is in full swing across the island. Although the Straw Hat crew members have made good progress since their debut, their enemies, ever more numerous, seem inexhaustible, if not unbeatable! Thus, at the top of the dome, Luffy once again clashes with Kaido's overwhelming power… But nothing is lost! Thanks to Momonosuke, his allies get the certainty that the fight continues. And the captain of the crew with a hundred beasts will have to face a new opponent whose grudge has been bubbling for decades… his own daughter, Yamato! 
One Piece, Volume 101: Time for Confrontations
With this new volume, Eiichiro Oda continues to amaze us and plays with our nerves. Indeed, each chapter is very dense and the boxes seem to be filled to their limit. To the extent of the chaos that reigns over Onigashima, we do not know where to turn! Each of Luffy's companions has also found a tough opponent: ingenuity, determination and striking force will be essential! A battle of both weapons and ideas begins on the roof of the dome. Yamato once again confronts his father, Kaido. The free spirit of Wano clashes with deadly conservatism and at the same time reveals some of its power… almost divine! Oden Kozuki's self-proclaimed spiritual daughter is also entitled to a highly anticipated flashback. The terrible and unbridled childhood to which the young woman was subjected only reinforces the affection that is given to her. We are also treated to revelations in the fight between Jinbe and Who's Who. The origins of a certain fruit of the devil and its journey through the seas are discovered! Meanwhile, even as Sanji, facing Queen, settles scores with his inheritance, Franky engages in an absurd-sounding fight against Sasaki. This is a confrontation in the face of which the reader will remain a little hungry, compared to the other events of the volume. 
Old grudges and the new generation
This 101st volume of One Piece is therefore the place of many settling of scores. The Red Sheaths continue their mission fiercely, disturbing the mists of the past with swords and ninjutsu. Nevertheless, if this arc of One Piece is resolutely turned towards the past, it also highlights the future leaders of the world. The "Terrible Generation", of course, with the alliance between Luffy, Trafalgar and Kidd. Yamato, then, who clashes with the moribund policy of his father. Last but not least, Momonosuke, for whom the hour of glory is about to come. Indeed, the little crying boy met on Punk Hazard will have to take his courage with both hands against the one who caused the fall of the Kozuki clan. By assuming his identity in the face of the most terrible creature in this world, Momonosuke will have to show that he has the makings of a shogun. Like the final face-to-face between the two dragons, the old time and the new era collide with a bang! As Duke Caborage/Inuarashi keeps saying, is a new dawn about to dawn? Even as Onigashima continues his fall towards the Capital of Flowers, the outcome of this war has never seemed so uncertain! In conclusion, volume 101 of One Piece leads us noisily towards the end of the arc of the Land of the Wa. The tension is maximum, the stakes remain considerable! Who will emerge victorious from this tug-of-war? Will the shadows of the past be repressed or will they triumph? This is what you will know by reading the next volume, in bookstores on September 14th! Does the wait seem too long? Review the entire saga of Eiichiro Oda with volume 10 of One Piece Magazine, or continue to tremble under tension with For the Worse, by Tarō Nogizaka!
