One Piece Chapter 1082 Unveils Crocodile’s True Motive for Chasing Pluton
Eiichiro Oda, the mangaka of One Piece, finally reveals the motive behind Crocodile’s relentless pursuit of the ancient weapon, Pluton. In One Piece Chapter 1082, Oda provides an answer to the long-standing question of why Crocodile targets Pluton.
One Piece fans have known for a while that Crocodile has been after Pluton, even going as far as manipulating the kingdom of Alabasta to search for clues about the ancient weapon. However, his plans were thwarted by Luffy when he defeated Crocodile during his invasion of Alabasta.
Fast forward to the Wano Kuni arc, where we are surprised to find out that the ancient weapon Crocodile had been searching for was actually in Wano. But to obtain Pluton, someone would have to open the borders of Wano. Although the form of Pluton has yet to be fully revealed in One Piece, fans have been left wondering what Crocodile’s true intentions for obtaining it were.
In Chapter 1082, we finally get a glimpse into Crocodile’s long-held dream outside of his pursuit of Pluton. We see him expressing his desire to build a utopia nation that possesses a gigantic military might. His goal is to create an impregnable country that is immune to threats from other nations. Dracule Mihawk suggests that to realize Crocodile’s vision of the utopia, they would need to acquire even more power.
This revelation could provide a clue as to why Crocodile seeks Pluton. Could his pursuit of the ancient weapon be connected to his dream of creating a powerful nation, the Cross Guild? Fans eagerly await further developments from Eiichiro Oda in upcoming chapters to uncover the truth behind Crocodile’s motives for chasing Pluton.
