One Piece episode 1080 began with a shot of the Five Elders being furious over Luffy's new bounty picture, which portrayed him in his Gear 5 form. They were particularly keen on eliminating the 'D' from his name although that was not possible as the printing company could not be contacted.

Morgans, the World Economy News Paper's president, oversaw the printing and distribution of this news. He believed that during these changing times, it was crucial to spread the truth.

Thus, through him, the world learned of Kaido and Big Mom's defeat, the CP0's infiltration of Wano, and other significant events. In response to their actions, Luffy, Kid, and Law found an exorbitant bounty of three billion berries placed on each of their heads.

During the ongoing festival in Wano, Robin stumbled upon another Poneglyph within the room where Tenguyama Hitetsu had been confined for years. Tenguyama then revealed his true identity as Kozuki Sukiyaki, the father of Kozuki Oden and former Shogun of the land of Wano.

Sukiyaki was the one who brought Orochi to power. Consumed by guilt over the death of his son and the radical transformation of his nation, he contemplated taking his own life, though he ultimately refrained from doing so. However, he chose not to inform others that he was still alive.

Robin inquired about Pluton, which was said to be on Wano. Tengu, who was originally surprised by her depth of knowledge, admitted that the ancient weapon was really located there.

The previous episode began with the Five Elders expressing dissatisfaction with the situation in Wano. Two of the four Emperors of the Sea had been taken down, while Wano's closed borders made it uncontrollable for the World Government.

A week after the battle at Onigashima, there was a sense of joy in Wano as Momonosuke, the new Shogun, took charge. Luffy and Zoro also regained consciousness, after which a banquet was announced.

Meanwhile, Kid was concerned that news of Kaido and Big Mom's defeat might have been leaked, making them potential targets as the new Emperors of the Sea. To prove his words correct, the episode ended with Admiral Ryokugyu flying to Wano.
