"The Last Curtain! Luffy and Momonosuke's Vow" is the 1085th episode of the One Piece anime.
Short Summary[]
The Straw Hat Pirates say their final goodbyes to Momonosuke, Kin'emon, and Yamato, formally declaring Wano Country as one of their territories. With their business concluded, they finally depart from the island, at the same time as the Heart and Kid Pirates. Meanwhile, in the Flower Capital, the story of the return of the Kouzuki Family is recounted as a performance.
Long Summary[]
Wano Country starts to thrive after Orochi is deposed and Kaidou is defeated. The tale of the Raid on Onigashima is narrated on stage in front of an audience.
Elsewhere, Momonosuke, Kin'emon, and Yamato rush towards Tokage Port to catch up to the Straw Hat Pirates. On the way, Yamato tells Momonosuke that he will be staying in Wano instead of going with Luffy because he wants to do as Oden did and travel across Wano before setting out into the world.
Meanwhile, Momonosuke feels betrayed that Luffy would leave him behind before even saying farewell, despite all the adventures they went through together. Kin'emon also feels slighted by the Straw Hats' actions.
At the Tokage Port, Luffy parts ways with Law and Kid and they say their not-so-friendly farewells. The Kid Pirates and Heart Pirates sail towards their agreed destinations.
Before the Straw Hats can follow them, Momonosuke arrives at the beach, running. The young shogun expresses how hurt he is that the Straw Hats were leaving without saying their goodbyes. He bursts into tears, begging them not to go. Luffy hands him a Straw Hat Jolly Roger as a sign of their friendship and to remind him of their time together. He tells Momonosuke that he will always think of him as his brother. He adds that if Momonosuke, Kin'emon, and Yamato ever decided to become pirates, he'll come back and pick them up anytime.
The Straw Hats finally set sail and head to Hakumai, Wano's official port that has a lift to lower ships, which is a much safer alternative than going through the waterfalls they previously went through when they arrived at Wano. Kid makes fun of Luffy and Law for using the official port―a much safer option, which is uncharacteristic of a pirate. Law and Luffy are irked by Kid's remarks and take the provocation as a challenge and head towards the waterfalls instead.
Meanwhile, the tale of the Raid on Onigashima continues and the audience listened on how Wano was saved from its darkest hour. The citizens of Wano learned of Big Mom's role in the great battle and as a result has become a legend in the country called "O-Lin the Great Yōkai" and Kaidou is now known as the "Dragon King". As everyone listened in awe of how the "three mighty outlaws" recruited by Shogun Momonosuke emerged victorious from the menacing forces, the narrator of the epic tale told Hiyori's final words to the former shogun as he burned to death: "Black charcoal would not be called Kurozumi if it wasn't burned!"
As Momonosuke heads back to the Flower Capital, he contemplates where to fly the Straw Hats' flag.
