EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming off Episode 987's infiltration phase, where the alliance began its assault on Onigashima, Episode 988 marks a critical shift from stealth to all-out war by introducing reinforcements that fundamentally alter the power dynamics on the battlefield. This episode deepens the Wano arc's central theme of inherited will, particularly through the Whitebeard Pirates' connection to the broader conflict. It sets the stage for the sprawling multi-front battles that define the heart of the Onigashima raid going forward.
