OnePiece really broke hearts with its major Straw Hat crew swerve in the newest chapter:
One Piece has fully put the final stamp on the Wano Country arc with the newest chapter of the series, but unfortunately it's breaking some major hearts with the latest Straw Hat crew refusal. One of the major threads in the third act of the Wano Country arc involved Kaido's son Yamato and their desire to head out to see with Luffy and the Straw Hat crew in order to follow in Oden Kozuki's footsteps.
Yamato had been talking about nothing but going out to sea with Luffy ever since their first full introduction to the series, and fans had been reminded of this so many times that it had really seemed like this was going to be Oda's plan for the future.
Chapter 1057 of One Piece sees Yamato reveal to Momonosuke and Kin'emon that they are in fact going to stay in Wano. Although they noted they made up their mind before, Yamato explains that they already told Luffy and the others they didn't want to go. Oden's travels first began around the country of Wano, and since Yamato had been stuck on Onigashima all their life, they want to follow Oden's path and walk around Wano before heading out to the sea on their own time.
Unfortunately, this is definitely a major surprise given how boastful Yamato had been until now. There was a question as to whether or not Yamato would stay in Wano to help keep the remaining Beasts Pirates in line, but now it seems like Yamato is just no longer an option at all.
