One Piece, Volume 100

Chapter 1005
In the Grand Banquet Hall, Black Maria tells Sanji that she needs to go and kill the Nine Red Scabbards and asks Caimanlady if she is ready to broadcast his voice across the island, which she confirms. Black Maria asks Sanji to call Robin, revealing she has laid multiple layers of her adhesive thread at the entrance and on the floor, so when Robin comes up to the floor, she will get trapped and riddled with tranquilizer darts. She then puts on brass knuckles and punches Sanji, once again telling him to call Robin.

She continues to pummel Sanji while her subordinates watch in awe, believing that he would rather die than sell out his friend, with one saying she would fall for him if they weren't on opposing sides. Sanji manages to catch a break from Black Maria's beating and asks to say one thing. Her subordinates assume he plans on telling her "eat crap" and fear she will become even more upset, but to their surprise, he yells for Nico Robin to come and help him, revealing his location and that if she doesn't come, he might die. His message is heard throughout the castle with some of them thinking his call for help is pathetic. Jinbe deduces that the Beasts Pirates are after Robin for her knowledge and Sasaki mocks Sanji for his whining when he also deduces that Robin is being set up to be captured. Marco admits that the Straw Hats are fun and Nami is not surprised that Sanji was calling for help if his opponent is a woman. Usopp points to a cat with a paper with an eye on it and wonders what they are for.

Black Maria is still surprised that Sanji gave in and he demands she let him loose like she said. Black Maria learns that someone is coming, and she tells Sanji that she won't release him, calling her 'love' for him personal. She then points towards a bunch of other men tied up in her webs and says that they can't live without her, which they all say. Sanji, however, yells that he wants to love all the ladies in the world, causing Black Maria to angrily tell him that she won't accept him cheating on her so she will discipline him some more. Sanji yells that he doesn't want her fist to get hurt so his Armament Haki will be soft. All of a sudden, Black Maria gets slapped in the face by a Gigantesco Mano: Spank, knocking her down to the floor. Black Maria asks how Robin was able to get inside past her webs and she explains she can bloom anywhere. She also asks if Black Maria seriously thought luring her to her location would mean she would be easy to capture. She then says that she has spent a lot of time working for evil organizations, so when someone she cares for gets hurt, it pulls out the demon within her. Brook also arrives and frees Sanji with his powers as well as destroying all of her other webs. He then notices all of Black Maria's subordinates and calls them monsters, which they retort that he can't say that. Sanji tells the two of them that he is going to Kin'emon's location because he can't see himself winning a fight with Black Maria, a statement they agree with. Black Maria refuses to let Sanji leave, but Robin asks if that is her last words. She then thanks Sanji for relying on her help, causing him to get heart shaped eyes at the complement while also tripping on the frozen floor.

In the sealed storage room, Momonosuke says that he heard Sanji's voice from a mouse wearing the paper with the eye mark. Yamato reveals to him and Shinobu that the mouse is called a Mary, which are cyborgs. They wander around the island without purpose but share their eyesight with human Marys. This, however, means they know their location, and are currently outside the room. Shinobu asks where they can move Momonosuke to a place he won't be seen as Yamato tells Momonosuke to jump into his clothes. The Beasts Pirates try to bar down the door, but Yamato breaks through, telling Shinobu that they need to knock out everyone or they will be seen, and Shinobu retorts that is not how that works.

On the Third Floor, Jack, who has somewhat partially recovered from his injuries, tells Black Maria that he will deal with the Nine Red Scabbards himself, saying that even if they are damaged, they are still strong enough to defeat a Tobiroppo, so she can't get involved. Black Maria tells Jack she feels insulted but accepts his decision because that lets her take care of Robin. She takes off her kimono revealing a tattoo on her back saying "woman trouble" while wielding a large weapon with a Wanyūdō at the end. She tells Robin that at the end of the battle, she will belong to Kaidou, but Robin tells her that she would rather die.

Chapter 1006
On the Performance Floor, Bao Huang reports that Momonosuke has escaped the Sealed Storeroom, and while she can't see him physically, she is convinced he is with Yamato, which is true as he is hiding within his clothes. Yamato directs Shinobu's attention to a path that Shinobu asks if they can pick a less obvious route. Bao Huang reports that Yamato is with Shinobu, and Sanji, who overheard, realizes both Momonosuke and Shinobu are in danger while also wondering who Yamato is. He asks a beaten pirate where the Sealed Storeroom is and he tells him it is near the entrance to the Skull Dome. Sanji realizes that is in the opposite direction as Kin'emon's position, leaving him confused as to which side needs him most right now. After a bit of deliberating, he makes his decision.

At the entrance of the castle, Charlotte Perospero sits on a rock and looks down at Carrot and Wanda, who he has defeated. He yells to them that the reason they lost to him was because the full moon was covered by clouds, which cancelled their Sulong, and turned them back to normal. He jumps down and grabs Carrot's face asking her if she was serious about wanting to avenge Pedro and what she thought would happen if she waltzed into their home like they were going to have a picnic. He throws her to the ground and tells her that if she doesn't want to see her friends die, she should have stayed in the forest eating grass where she belongs. Perospero then says that while he is against working with the Beasts Pirates, he wants to teach the younglings what it means to be a member of the Four Emperors.

Inside the Skull Dome, several samurai are struggling to keep from turning back into an Ice Oni, as their physical stamina is being burnt up to keep the phoenix flames alight. They are told to keep it together, since Chopper, who is also infected, is working hard to make enough cures. Scratchmen Apoo is told that they can't get through to Chopper and the cure because of X Drake and Hyougoro, who has regained the strength and appearance of his prime. Apoo's followers ask why they had to get caught up in this sick game but Apoo says Queen isn't the type to bestow mercy on crybabies. The Orochi Oniwabanshu wonder how Hyougoro regained his old strength as the old man realizes contracting the disease has extracted all the strength he has to the very inch of his life, and while it is burning away at the last bits of his body for fuel, he will use its power to cut down their enemies. Hyougoro then yells to the other yakuza bosses to strike him down should Chopper fail to make the medicine in time, as he fears he will cut down everyone present should he turn. Sadly, the yakuza confirm this while Hotei and Mimawarigumi decide to challenge him, however, he easily defeats all of them with Hana no Ittoryu: Dohatsu Kohai. As he fights, he admits to himself he wishes he could have been able to fight alongside Oden against Kaidou when he was in his prime, but his retainers were able to pull off this raid in his name while he himself gained a fascinating apprentice in Luffy. He confidently says the dawn of Wano will come as Queen tries to stop him from taking out the entire floor.

Before Queen can fire his laser at Hyougoro, however, he gets struck by Marco with Hoo-in, which causes him to cough up blood. He angrily asks what that attack was, as Marco reminds him that he was fighting him, and he won't be able to think about the samurai until he deals with him. Marco dodges Queen's laser attack while King jumps down and cuts off Marco's left wing. Marco regenerates it though and fires a Bluebird at King, knocking him into a building before he gets kneed in the face by Marco. Queen turns back to normal as he walks over to Marco, but Marco launches him back with Ongle. Marco admits fighting two people with over-a-billion bounties is tough even for him and hopes Chopper finishes soon. Perospero enters the Skull Dome and sees Marco, noticing how exhausted he is becoming.

Eventually, everyone starts turning back into an Ice Oni and Hyougoro asks Yatappe to cut him down, saying he wants this and that the heavens have rewarded him with this final role to play. As Yatappe raises his sword with tears in his eyes, Hyougoro says that he leaves the rest in everyone's hands and this is where his life ends with no regrets.

Chapter 1007
On the Live Floor, practically all of the Orochi Oniwabanshu and Mimawarigumi have been defeated by Hyougoro, with the Beasts Pirates admiring how powerful he actually is and Scratchmen Apoo commenting how he resists the effects of Ice Oni yet is so powerful. X Drake says that he sees why people fear Wano as Hyougoro demands Yatappe clear his mind so he can kill him. Despite crying his eyes out, Yatappe says he will strike him down as Cho watches also crying and acknowledging how much he is struggling because of how they see Hyougoro as a father. At the same time, Omasa asks Tsunagoro to strike him down out of fear of hurting his friends. The samurai plead with Chopper to finish the antidote soon because time is running out.

Meanwhile, Queen's subordinates ask him why they have to suffer from his virus. In response, Queen angrily transforms into his brachiosaurus form and demands they shut up, declaring Ice Oni as his masterpiece and that he made it for them in a sense. Confused, Queen elaborates reminding the Pleasures that they gambled on a chance to get powers and failed, now to him, they are nothing but dead weight good for a laugh. As for the Waiters, he tells them that no matter how long they wait, there are no more SMILEs to give them powers. Therefore, the only way any of them can be useful is by becoming Ice Oni and ultimately dying. They are shocked by this answer but Queen says that they can always find more soldiers.

Broken by this answer, several Beasts Pirates start attacking friend and foe alike, with some of them declaring that they will quit the Beasts Pirates when the battle is over. The samurai pity their enemies for their cruel commanders but Queen berates the samurai for working alongside Chopper, who he says has probably already used the cure on himself and has abandoned everyone to die. The samurai deny that Chopper would do something so heinous, but Queen says that backstabbing is part of the pirate lifestyle. Eventually, Yatappe works up the nerve to strike down Hyougoro, saying he will join him soon but Hyougoro tells him to take his time. However, the strike is blocked by Chopper, who puts the antidote in Hyougoro's mouth and cures him.

Everyone is relieved to see Chopper as he tells Hyougoro he will be fine as Miyagi and Tristan come in and fire the Chopperphage Nebulizer at the infected, curing them of Ice Oni. Queen angrily demands what Chopper thinks he is doing and Chopper explains that since there are so many people on the floor, he knew it would be impossible for him to cure everyone individually, so he used the antibodies to craft his own virus, one that will cure everyone, and the cannon makes it easier for him to distribute. Queen is flabbergasted at how a ship doctor from nowhere could be so experienced and Chopper answers that he and his crew were scattered all over the world and they had been training for events such as this. Queen angrily asks why he bothered to cure his subordinates and Chopper says that viruses are not meant to be weaponized, as even the user will lose control.

Queen refuses to be lectured by Chopper and tries to kill him, but the Pleasures use themselves as shields for him. Queen demands they get out of the way but they refuse, telling him that they would rather die on the side of their savior than the one who nearly got them killed. Marco takes this opportunity to grab Queen by the neck, giving Chopper an opening to strike. Chopper thanks Marco and takes a Rumble Ball, changing into his Monster Point form. After he does, he slaps Queen so hard he bleeds, but he also yells to everyone present that he is not a "tanuki", which they have been calling him constantly. Surprised, all his allies inwardly apologizes for their mistake.

In the Right Brain Tower, Yamato and Shinobu continue moving as Yamato asks Momonosuke if he is okay. Momonosuke says that he is not because he feels disgusted with himself because everyone thinks so highly of him yet he sees himself as weak and foolish. Shinobu denies this and calls him brave, but Momonosuke refutes this claim and transforms into his dragon form at the same time, which surprises the two. In CP0's room, the leader thinks back to when Kaidou had been captured by the Marines and how Dr. Vegapunk experimented on his Lineage Factor, thus creating the Artificial Devil Fruit. The World Government wanted him to give the fruit to them, but Vegapunk considered it a failure and refused, leaving it on Punk Hazard. One of his subordinates asks why he is bringing this up now since Punk Hazard was destroyed, but the leader says that he hopes the fruit was destroyed as well despite the G-5 reporting that one facility was still operational.

Down in the Treasure Repository, the Nine Red Scabbards recover but are confused as to who tended to them. Kawamatsu has an idea but dismisses it as a dream as Kin'emon tells his men to get up and continue fighting. Suddenly, Kouzuki Oden appears before the samurai, leaving all of them stunned.

Chapter 1008
In the Treasure Repository, Oden tells the Nine Red Scabbards that he doesn't blame them for being surprised and explains that Toki sent him into the future with her Devil Fruit powers, a story he offers to explain later. Kin'emon, Nekomamushi, Kikunojo, Inuarashi, Kawamatsu, Izou, and Denjiro are racked with joy over his apparent return and Oden tells his retainers that they can stop Kaidou together now. Just as everyone is about to follow him, Ashura Doji yells for his comrades to not be fooled, saying that the Oden standing before them is an imposter. Kin'emon tries to deny this with the fact that he was standing before them, but Raizo sides with Ashura and reminds Kin'emon that Toki told them that it is impossible to return to the past, and since Oden died that day, how could he possibly be here in the future?

Kin'emon tries to defend Oden, unaware that he has drawn his sword against him. Ashura punches Kin'emon out of the way yelling for him to open his eyes as he cuts Oden's cheek, where they see no blood coming out. Ashura ends up getting stabbed by "Oden" while telling his friends that he understands their wishes that this was the real Oden. Seeing this deception, the Nine Red Scabbards demand to know who would pull such a cruel trick. They all realize that they were the only ones who knew Oden and his mannerisms, meaning that the one responsible for creating this fake was Kurozumi Kanjuro.

Kikunojo apologizes to Ashura for not killing Kanjuro but he forgives her, saying that the sharpest sword will become dull when turned against a friend. The Scabbards start fighting the drawing of Oden wondering where Kanjuro is, and Kanjuro, through the drawing of Oden, reveals that he is controlling the drawing remotely. He also tells his former comrades that it is draining him of his energy, but since he is already wounded, he believes he won't live to see the end of the war anyway. However, he plans on killing Momonosuke, who the Scabbards know is in danger after the Marys revealed his location along with Shinobu. The fake Oden then ignites an explosive which Ashura notices. He tackles the drawing and tells his comrades to escape and stop Kanjuro. He falls out of the room with the drawing telling Kanjuro that his mockery of Oden ends here as the drawing explodes, blowing everyone back.

The Scabbards see Ashura badly wounded but press on after Kanjuro as he declares that masquerading as a Kouzuki to destroy them before his death would be a fitting finale to his life-long performance. The Scabbards, however, are stopped by Jack, who was held back by several of the Minks. Inuarashi tells the others to keep going as Jack asks if he seriously wants to fight him alone but Inuarashi says that both of them have been injured, yet he still believes it will be enough. He then tells Jack that this isn't about settling a grudge anymore, but he intends to stop him from causing anyone anymore harm. The others leave to find Momonosuke as Jack mocks that there is no moonlight to activate his Sulong form. Inuarashi, however, retorts that Jack doesn't have his poison gas weapon either.

Meanwhile, Kurozumi Orochi, who is revealed to be alive, starts setting the castle on fire as retaliation for Kaidou's betrayal. He is accompanied by Fukurokuju, who silences anyone who sees Orochi. Elsewhere, Momonosuke returns to normal and hides in Yamato's clothes again, saying he can control his transformation better now, unlike when he first met Luffy and his crew whenever he got anxious. Yamato admits he was surprised he could transform into a creature similar to Kaidou and Momonosuke admits he wishes he could transform into something as strong as Kaidou so he could be more useful. Yamato wonders how Luffy is and wishes to help him as "Oden". Momonosuke, however, reveals that Luffy is worn out but still in high-spirits. Shinobu is relieved but questions how Momonosuke was able to know that.

Atop the Skull Dome, Luffy, who has recovered, is blown into a rock between Zoro and Kid. The two wonder how they are supposed to defeat the two Emperors because it looks like none of their attacks are working. Luffy says that they are because Kaidou and Big Mom are human, so they have to be feeling the pain of their attacks. He tries to attack again but is blown back into the wall again as Killer wonders how he can call the two of them human. Luffy says that a losing attitude isn't going to help as Zoro demands he help come up with a plan. Law suggests they split the two of them up, which Zoro and Kid agree with as Kid says that fighting the two of them is like Hell. Luffy says that is true then he has been to Hell and back a few times. Kaidou looks at Luffy and tells him that his eyes never seem to lose their fire.

Chapter 1009
Within the castle, the Beasts Pirates struggle to put out the fires that Kurozumi Orochi started. Orochi and Fukurokuju, however, end up encountering the Nine Red Scabbards surprisingly. Fukurokuju advises Orochi to stand back and allow himself to deal with the samurai since they are unaware, he has already died once today. Orochi refuses, saying if he goes out now, he would be surrounded, while also saying that Kaidou softened them up so he believes it will be an easy fight for him. He laughs at the retainers and what is left and asks if Kanjuro's true allegiance came as a surprise. He also admits he was surprised to learn that Kyoshiro was actually Denjiro but he says he will overlook this treachery as he transforms. He tells the seven of them that they do not scare him in their wounded state, and he will kill them as payback for haunting him as ghosts for twenty years. In an instant though, the samurai cut off six of his heads, telling him that they do not have time to waste on him and he will be judged in Hell. As everyone continues on, Raizo asks Fukurokuju if he is serious about avenging Orochi and how surprised he is to see him defend a dead fool. Fukurokuju, in turn, mocks Raizo and the others for fighting for Oden before telling Raizo that they were destined to clash before ever choosing sides.

Atop the Skull Dome, Big Mom suggests to Kaidou that they use a combined attack to finish off the five pirates. Kid asks why Law cannot just use his Devil Fruit powers to send one of them away, causing Law to retort that if he could he would have already, but the reason he cannot is because both their Haki are too strong for him to move directly. Kid says that they will just tear them apart as Luffy warns everyone about an incoming attack. Kaidou and Big Mom ready their weapons while insulting each other and unleash a flying attack called Hakai. To their surprise, Zoro does his best to block the attack telling everyone to run. The deflected attack destroys a chunk of the island but all of them survived, which the two Emperors notice.

Law asks Zoro if he is okay, and he says he barely is. Kid tells Zoro that he was not able to buy them much time but also thanks him for blocking the attack. Meanwhile, Luffy attacks Kaidou. When Kaidou dodges the punch, Luffy smiles and asks Kaidou if he is dodging because he knows it can hurt him. Kaidou swings at Luffy with his kanabo, as Luffy uses Haki to protect himself. Kaidou then fires a Bolo Breath at Luffy, who dodges, but Kaidou jumps into the air and attacks Luffy with Kosanze Ragunaraku, slamming Luffy into the ground. Meanwhile, Kid tells Law that he has finished creating a box, which Law promptly uses to entrap Zeus. Zoro and Killer then charge for Big Mom's other homies. Zoro slices Prometheus to pieces with Homura Saki: Rokudo no Tsuji, preventing him from reforming, while Killer knocks Napoleon out of her hand and then chases the sword away. An irritated Big Mom demands the homies return while she gets shot at with Kid's Punk Pistols. Big Mom asks if the five of them seriously thought that removing her homies from her would give them an advantage as she shakes off Kid's attack and punches him into the ground.

Kid, however, attaches some scrap to Big Mom and uses Repel to levitate her into the air while Law uses Takt to launch a boulder at her. She asks what the point is, just as she realizes she has been pushed off of the roof and down toward the sea below. She tries to get Zeus to help but he cannot due to being stuck in the box.

Chapter 1010
Big Mom cries for Zeus to save her but he can't due to being trapped in Kid's box. Prometheus attempts to save her but Zoro's continuous attacking prevents Prometheus from moving. Law is left in disbelief seeing Zoro still able to move after the Emperors' last attack. Kaidou calls Big Mom pathetic but he charges for Zoro demanding he release Prometheus. Law, however, uses his Devil Fruit powers to switch places with him, where he then uses Injection Shot on Kaidou's throat. He uses Curtain to shield himself, but Kaidou blows him away while saying his powers are annoying. This does give Prometheus and Napoleon the opening needed to rush to Big Mom's aid, causing Zoro to ask why he did that. Law answers that his plans aren't worth one of them dying, but Kid says that they already succeeded in separating the two as both him and Killer decide to take on Big Mom themselves.

Prometheus is able to catch Big Mom, who thanks him for saving her. She also wonders what happened with Zeus as Prometheus says he is always holding them back. He then asks Big Mom for a favor as Kid and Killer notice the clouds above swirling.

Back on the roof, Kaidou laughs at how Luffy was glaring at him while unconscious like back in Bakura Town. He starts talking about different ways to maim him as Zoro tells Law that he has reached his limit so this next attack will be his last. He coats his swords in Armament Haki and assumes his Ashura form while attacking him with Ashura Bakkei: Moja no Tawamure.

Kaidou clutches his chest in pain while asking Zoro if he has Supreme King Haki. Zoro doesn't know what he is talking about as he falls down, saying that he had hoped that attack would have brought Kaidou down to the ground. Kaidou, however, tells Zoro that his attack will definitely leave a scar on him. He raises his kanabo to attack as Law tries to help him avoid it. Kaidou tells him it is too late and blows the both of them away with Raimei Hakke. After defeating the two of them, Kaidou says that if they had joined him, they could have taken over the world together.

Suddenly, he hears Luffy tell him that they would never team up with him due to their friendship with the samurai. He thinks back to Hyougoro's training and his advice on Haki and admits all the attacks he used on Kaidou were shallow but after being struck with his kanabo, Luffy realized the truth: Kaidou can infuse objects with Supreme King Haki. Kaidou laughs in confirmation as he charges at Luffy, revealing that only a select few powerful individuals can pull it off as he brings his club down on Luffy. However, Luffy, having worked out how to infuse Supreme King Haki into his limbs, blocks the attack with his foot without even touching it. He then charges for Kaidou and punches him in the gut again without touching him before delivering an uppercut that sends him flying and crashing down onto his back.

Law is left in disbelief that Luffy did damage without actually touching Kaidou. Luffy thanks both him and Zoro for covering him, but they can go back down to the castle. He declares that he can handle the rest and he will beat Kaidou no matter what.

Chapter 1011
Kid and Killer try to flee from Big Mom, but she unleashes a wave of lightning from her new homie, Hera, who appears to be composed entirely of lightning. Big Mom uses Hera to unleash an attack called Fulgora, striking Kid and Killer and slamming into the side of the castle. Zeus continues to call out to Big Mom, but he finds himself free from the metal box he was kept prisoner in, with Law realizing something must have happened to Kid. Zeus immediately tries to find Big Mom, while Law uses his Devil Fruit powers to warp himself, Zoro, and Zeus down into the castle. After they leave, Kaidou gets back up and smiles, telling Luffy that he seems to be enjoying this fight, and the higher the risk, the wider he smiles. The two of them charge at each other and clash with their Supreme King Haki-infused attacks.

Kid and Killer find themselves back inside the castle but they can't find Big Mom. Killer deduces that the hole she made was so big she lost track of them. That means she must be on the second floor, so the two of them try to cut her off to keep her from regrouping with Kaidou. They do get stopped by the Beasts Pirates, led by Basil Hawkins who attacks them with Warabide-to. Kid curses Hawkins for his betrayal but Hawkins merely states that he too was betrayed by Scratchmen Apoo, and joining up with Kaidou was the only logical choice he felt he could make in that situation that didn't involve him dying, though he admits his surprise to see the two of them alive.

Killer tells Kid to go on without him and he does so while Hawkins assumes his Goma no So form. He says that his chances of defeating the two of them simultaneously were slim, but with it just being Killer, his odds seem better, while Killer insults him calling him a true guard dog for Kaidou. Hawkins ignores his words and tells him that his chances of dying are 92%, which is his role in the end. Killer, however, declares that he and his crew take matters into their own hands rather than leaving it up to fate. Hawkins tells Killer that all he can do is wish for luck, but Killer refuses to do such a thing.

On the second floor, Page One manages to grab onto Komachiyo's back while Nami and Usopp try to get him to let go. Page One demands to know why the two of them won't give up. They yell that it is because they don't want to die yet and continue to attack him at every vital spot he has. Tama tells Komachiyo to hold on as she says that Speed has most likely fed her Kibi Dango to several SMILE eaters, so she should be able to take charge of them all. Once she reaches the Live Floor's stage, she will turn them into allies, also saying that she won't care what happens to her after that, but she will hang in there until then. Nami retorts that that won't happen because she and Usopp will protect her, though it doesn't ease her fears all that much.

Usopp uses Midori Boshi: Hanabibana to force Page One to let go. After he hits the ground, Usopp uses Midori Boshi: Baku Bokkuri. Unfortunately for him, Page One endures the attack and gets back up. Usopp yells that he wishes Tama's Devil Fruit powers would work on natural Zoans just as Big Mom crosses paths with the three of them, much to their horror. Big Mom notices Nami and Usopp, but when Tama sees her, she calls her by her name from when she was amnesiac: O-Lin.

Surprisingly, Big Mom goes into what Prometheus calls her "Mothering Mode", which only shows around kids under ten now and then. As a result, Big Mom forgets the Straw Hats and starts talking friendly with Tama, much to the astonishment of Nami and Usopp. Tama tells her that she was worried after she vanished at Udon while Big Mom tells Tama that she wanted to thank her for looking after her when she had amnesia, while Tama is relieved for her memories returning. Big Mom also tells Tama that she will never forget how tasty the oshiruko was when Tsuru gave it to her in Okobore Town, but Tama's expression becomes crestfallen.

Tama explains to Big Mom that Okobore Town was destroyed because the denizens lied to protect the samurai and their raid and was burnt to the ground after lying about eating all the stolen food. This revelation enrages Big Mom as Page One finally catches up to them. He tells Big Mom to not let the enemy escape while he prepares to chomp down on them. Big Mom, however, calls Page One and the rest of the Beasts Pirates ingrates, and that no matter how cruel pirates can be, there should still be standards. She then strikes Page One in the throat with a fist coated in Supreme King Haki. Ulti and her subordinates watch in horror at this scene while Kid and Zeus deduce her location from the noise.

Chapter 1012
In the connecting hallway from the Treasure Repository to the third floor of the castle, Izou asks Kikunojo if her severed arm pains her. She denies this and says that it is merely 'itching' until her life is expended. She also says that it is nothing compared to the itch in her heart the day Izou left. He apologizes for that but accepts that she is doing fine for now. Kawamatsu asks Izou what he thinks Wano will become after the country is opened, but he says that if they survive the night, they can talk about that after the battle. Kin'emon realizes that their raid has become an all-out war, and he himself believes he will be enough to protect Momonosuke, so the rest of them can scatter and join in on the fight. Kikunojo asks Kin'emon's permission to kill Kanjuro, promising she won't hesitate this time.

Nekomamushi's attention is drawn to Shishilian and Bariete, causing Kawamatsu to say that he can go off with the Minks while Kin'emon asks Kikunojo to follow him. Nekomamushi learns from Bariete that Pedro died in Big Mom's territory but it was a sacrifice to help them escape. He does add that the one responsible for his death is on the island currently and Carrot and Wanda fought him, but they let their anger get the better of them, and that is the reason he wanted to warn Shishilian. Nekomamushi praises Pedro for dying honorably and decides to get revenge for him, jumping high into the air.

In the first floor crawlspace, Yamato is hiding with Shinobu and Momonosuke, but he says that because Marys will be watching for him, he will be a decoy and create a rather pitiful looking doll of Momonosuke. The two figure that he just wants to fight, but Shinobu was able to get in touch with Kin'emon, so he knows where they are. Yamato leaves Momonosuke in her hands and asks how Luffy is doing. Momonosuke replies that he is weakened but still well, but it is just him and Kaidou now. Yamato decides to make haste as Momonosuke finally starts reading his father's logbook.

On the second floor, Sanji is fighting other Beasts Pirates while carrying Zoro, who is so heavily bandaged up he looks like a cross. A few dozen minutes earlier, Sanji witnessed Law, Zoro, and Zeus appear in the air. He catches the two of them (to his displeasure), and asks Zeus about Nami, but he runs off in search of Big Mom. Sanji demands an explanation from Law and he says that Zoro broke about 20-30 bones and tells him to splinter his limbs and make sure he is conscious and breathing. Sanji retorts that he wasn't talking about him and isn't a doctor and doesn't have time for this but Law heads off looking for Big Mom. Nevertheless, he wraps Zoro up and asks how he ended up like this. Zoro answers that it was Kaidou and Big Mom, which Sanji understands. He says that he trusts Luffy is okay up there and Zoro says he figured something out, meaning he will win this, which Sanji already knew. In the present, Sanji fights off the pirates wondering where to lay Zoro, and ends up meeting with Kawamatsu and Izou. He learns that Kin'emon was heading to help Momonosuke, and Zoro tells the three of them to go to the Live Floor before falling asleep. The three of them proceed to do so.

On the same floor, Big Mom punched Page One so hard he was submerged in the ground, as she angrily asks if he was the one who burned Okobore Town. Ulti angrily tells Big Mom that she will regret that and charges for her, causing Usopp and Nami to realize they could use Big Mom to take her out. Nami yells to Big Mom, calling her O-Lin and saying that Ulti did what she thinks she did (even though she doesn't know what it exactly was). Big Mom, however, angrily tells her to shut up and that when she finishes Ulti, she will go for them. In response, Nami tries to manipulate Ulti into working with her, but Ulti similarly tells her to shut up.

Ulti notices the group trying to flee on Komachiyo, but she quickly catches up to them and strikes Komachiyo in the side with Ul-Zugan in her Pachycephalosaurus form, knocking them all over. She angrily starts kicking Komachiyo for giving her the run around this whole time, causing Tama to beg her to stop. Ulti, however, smacks Tama aside, shocking both Nami and Big Mom. Usopp tells her to take Tama and flee as Big Mom angrily asks if she just witnessed her hitting her friend. Ulti retorts that she smashed her brother but she gets zapped by Nami in retaliation. Usopp tells Nami that they need to flee but Nami refuses, saying that she will crush Ulti for hitting a child.

Chapter 1013
Usopp tells Nami that they should get away, as Ulti will get up soon and they have no chance of handling either her or Big Mom. Nami responds that Ulti will chase them either way, and it is important that the enemy pirate gets what is coming to her. As Ulti gets up, Nami attacks her with Tornado Tempo, but the Shinuchi easily dodges and grabs Nami by the arms, preparing to pulverize her skull once and for all with a headbutt. However, Big Mom then merges Hera, Prometheus, and Napoleon and uses them to fire a powerful laser at Ulti in an attack she calls Maser Ho. The shot easily pierces through Ulti's body and knocks her unconscious, leaving the Beasts Pirates onlookers in shock.

Usopp and Nami take advantage of this to run away with Tama, telling her they have no choice but to leave the unconscious Komachiyo behind for now. Nami then sees Zeus peeking out from behind a corner, and wonders who Hera is. Prometheus and Napoleon talk with Hera about how they form a great team and Prometheus asks Hera to be his girlfriend, but Hera brushes them off and rejects Prometheus' advances. Zeus starts to cry in worry upon seeing his fellow special homies talking with Hera, and when he sees Nami, he tries to approach her, only for Nami to coldly ignore him. Big Mom then calls out to Zeus, and he apologizes for being late and tries to see if Hera is simply an addition to their group. However, Big Mom tells Zeus that he has been replaced, with Prometheus and Napoleon chastising him for almost letting Big Mom die earlier as well as his many other mistakes in the past. Big Mom then tells Hera to go and eat Zeus and become stronger by absorbing his soul, and as Hera bites into him, a panicked Zeus apologizes to Big Mom and promises to leave her alone if she lets him go. However, Big Mom responds that this would be stealing the piece of her soul she gave him, and that the best thing Zeus could do for her is to let Hera eat him.

Big Mom then plucks Tama out of Usopp's grasp to keep her safe as she goes to attack the Straw Hat duo. Zeus then desperately calls out to Nami and begs her to forgive him for defecting back to Big Mom, which he admits was out of cowardice. Nami refuses to forgive Zeus, and he accepts this, but says he will make it up to her by going against Big Mom before he dies. Zeus then charges himself up with storm energy as he charges toward Big Mom, but quickly runs out of energy as Big Mom grabs him without issue. Big Mom then sucks out much of his soul and gives the remainder of his body, now essentially a soulless husk, for Hera to finish off. Nami unleashes some Black Balls for Zeus to eat so he can escape, but Zeus is incapable of consuming them. Hera then fully consumes him and also bites into the Clima-Tact, causing her power to grow immensely. Usopp is able to get Tama back, and as the trio runs from Big Mom, she readies a flame-powered Napoleon and asks if she will have to kill Tama as well for leaving her. However, Kid then arrives and intercepts Napoleon with a giant metal arm. He then successfully forces Napoleon back and grabs Big Mom's head to slam her into the ground with Punk Gibson. As Big Mom quickly gets back up and shakes off the impact, Kid tells the Straw Hats to leave the Emperor to him, much to their delight.

On the Skull Dome roof, Kaidou stands alone as he remarks that Luffy let his new power go to his head. However, as the unconscious Luffy falls from Onigashima, Kaidou is actually regretful as he notes that due to his failure to fully finish the pirate off, his allies will still maintain their hope and belief in him.

Chapter 1014
As Luffy falls off of Onigashima and into the ocean, Kaidou states that although the pirate managed to infuse his Supreme King Haki, his usage of it was crude and clumsy; Kaidou also says that he supposes Luffy could not be Joy Boy. He then receives a call from Bao Huang, who informs him that Momonosuke has been located. Kaidou says he will head to the boy immediately, and tells Bao Huang to announce the result of his and Luffy's fight to all of Onigashima.

On the third floor of the castle, the Beasts Pirates spot Yamato and notice the young master's exploding cuffs are gone, and Yamato affirms this while beating them aside. In the crawlspace under the first floor, Momonosuke is reading Oden's logbook and notes to Shinobu that based on what he has read, he knows he must not die. Right then, Momonosuke hears a powerful voice inside his head that causes him to collapse and writhe around in discomfort as he asks who the voice belongs to. On the Live Floor, Chopper flips over a transformed Queen and body-slams him into the ground and walls, to the cheers of both the samurai and Beasts Pirates defectors. However, Queen remains relatively unharmed while Chopper starts panting from exhaustion, and the All-Star notices and taunts the pirate over this. Additionally, Chopper has been struck in the back by multiple candy arrows fired by Perospero, who has joined the fighting on the Live Floor. Chopper internally expresses frustration, noting that despite having increased Monster Point's time limit, he has not yet succeeded at inflicting significant damage on Queen and he now has less than ten minutes remaining in this form. Several weeks ago, on the voyage from Punk Hazard to Dressrosa, Caesar Clown had learned about the Rumble Balls and derided their short three-minute effect time. He gave Chopper a list of chemicals to add to the Rumble Ball to increase the effect time all the way to 30 minutes, though with the addition of certain risks.

Queen fires a Black Coffee laser beam at Chopper, which he dodges, and as Perospero readies another volley of candy arrows, Bao Huang arrives at the Live Stage and proclaims through the other Marys that Kaidou has taken down both the Nine Red Scabbards as well as Luffy. She states that Kaidou is coming down to eliminate all remaining enemies, and offers the enemy alliance the chance to surrender and join the Beasts Pirates to have their lives spared. The alliance remembers react in shock at this announcement, though both Zoro and Sanji loudly and immediately reject the offer to surrender. As this occurs, Kanjuro reaches the passageway to the first floor crawlspace, where Kin'emon and Kikunojo have already reunited with Momonosuke and Shinobu. Momonosuke is still afflicted by the voice in his head, and is about to tell Kin'emon to tell something to everyone when Shinobu points out that a frog Mary is with them. Right then, Kanjuro climbs up to the crawlspace, with another Oden disguise shrouding him, and greets Momonosuke and Shinobu under the guise of being Oden.

Shinobu is shocked and Momonosuke is delighted to see Oden, but Kikunojo immediately informs them that this is an impostor. Enraged that Kanjuro is utilizing Oden's likeness once again after the ambush that claimed Ashura Doji, Kikunojo charges toward him with the intent of finishing him off once and for all. Kanjuro continues to play the role of Oden, and when he mentions how "he" took in Kiku and Izou, Kiku briefly hesitates, allowing Kanjuro to pierce through her chest with a sword. The Oden disguise then disappears as Kanjuro laughs triumphantly, saying it was only fair for him to give Kiku a fatal wound like the one she had given him. Kin'emon catches Kiku as she collapses to the ground, and she tells him with a smile that although she failed, the melting of fallen snow means that the "dawn" is surely close at hand.

As this happens, Kanjuro attempts to strike Kin'emon with his paintbrush, but Kin'emon swiftly unsheathes his sword and strikes down his former comrade, leaving a deep cut diagonally across his chest. Still standing for a brief moment, Kanjuro laughs and notes how fitting it was for Kin'emon, the one who was his closest comrade during the act he had put on, to "close the curtain" on his life. Right as Kanjuro collapses, Kaidou crashes into the crawlspace from above and readies his kanabo to kill Momonosuke. Kin'emon orders Shinobu to take Momonosuke and flee as he protects them from Kaidou, and he raises both of his swords to try to defend against the Emperor's attack. Kaidou's kanabo shatters Kin'emon's katanas with great ease and slams down onto the samurai with deadly force, and Momonosuke can only look, weep, and shout Kin'emon's name as Shinobu carries him away. As this occurs, Onigashima finally arrives at the Wano mainland.

Chapter 1015
The samurai and Chopper cry in sadness and fear over the possibility that Luffy is dead, with several of them wondering if they should keep fighting and if Momonosuke is safe. Briscola, who despite having consumed Tama's kibi dango, was still fighting against the samurai due to having not been given an order yet, and says that it isn't that the enemies are weak, it's just that Kaidou is too strong.

Izou and Kawamatsu know that the message was to hurt everyone's morale but Sanji becomes annoyed at how several are losing their will to fight. As for Queen, he defeats Chopper and tells him he was just playing with him since Chopper seemed so sure he could beat him. Also, Perospero fires a Candy Shower of candy arrows, causing the samurai to run in fear and take cover. Queen then reveals his teeth to have retractable spikes and calls Chopper a coward as he prepares to kill him, but Sanji comes to the rescue and attacks Queen with Diable Jambe: Rotisserie Strike, smacking him around while also deflecting Perospero's candy arrows, while he also knocks Queen into Perospero and knocking him away.

Sanji commends Chopper for how long he stood his ground as Chopper tries to tell him about Luffy. Sanji, however, scolds him for crying and reminds him of all the miracles Luffy has pulled off in situations like these. He hands the bandaged Zoro off to him commenting he is worth at least ten men (which Zoro retorts that he is worth two thousand) as he says he will handle Queen as he identifies Sanji as Judge's son. The samurai are in disbelief as to how the Straw Hats are still fighting despite the announcement that their captain is supposedly dead, and Marco reveals this is why he likes them.

Up on the First Floor, Shinobu runs away with Momonosuke as a heavily injured Kin'emon tries to stab Kaidou with his broken sword. He thinks back to when he told Momonosuke to call him father to hide his connection to Oden and how they eventually succeeded in pulling off the illusion. As for Kaidou, he asks Kin'emon what the point is in buying time and running as he stabs him through the back with a sword. He tells him that it isn't easy to accept defeat, but he should embrace his honorable death as a samurai.

As Shinobu runs carrying Momonosuke, she sees that he had picked up a frog Mary, where he announces to his allies that Luffy wanted him to tell them that Luffy is still alive and that he would make it back, so no matter how hurt everyone is or if they have nothing left, they have to keep fighting, as it turns out the voice he previously heard was Luffy unconsciously telling him that he will defeat Kaidou.

Momonosuke's words reinvigorate his allies as Kaidou finally corners him and Shinobu. Shinobu uses her Devil Fruit powers to rot the rocks and causes the two of them to fall, much to his displeasure. As for Luffy, he is found by the Heart Pirates who proceed to save him. Tama cries in happiness that Luffy is alive and she, Usopp, and Nami run to the main stage, but Nami hears a voice coming from her Sorcery Clima-Tact, looking down to see what appears to be Zeus' face.

Big Mom says that Momonosuke was bluffing, and the war ended the minute he fell into the sea, but Law arrives on the scene and says that since he has been working with him for so long, he has now learned to never give up faith with him. Kid asks Law if he is getting in his way, and Law tells Kid that they should play nice for now and work together.

Yamato finally catches up to Kaidou and addresses him by name, causing him to tell Yamato to call him "father". Yamato, however, declares that he has come to free himself from this so-called "parental bond".
