## One Piece Chapter 1014, pages 11-13: A Lifelong Ham Actor - Chapter: 1014 - Pages: 11-13 - Characters: Kiku, Kanjuro, Kin'emon, Izo, Ashura Doji, Momonosuke, Shinobu ### Summary Page 11: Kiku's anger sharpens as she confronts the impostor. She shouts, "Stop calling me that while wearing his face, Kanjuro!!" Kin'emon, sweating, demands, "What are you doing, Kiku?!" Kiku remembers the wound from Ashura Doji's sacrifice and says, "After what you did to Ashura-san... Even the sharpest sword becomes dull when pointed at a friend..." Kanjuro keeps twisting the knife, saying, "You can't be serious! I took you and Izo in, remember? Where are your parents?" A memory of Kanjuro gathering the siblings is shown as he adds, "How could you raise a sword against me?!" Despite her hesitation, Kiku swings. The two clash with a heavy slash, and the force of their blades fills the lower half of the page. Kanjuro's use of Oden's face and shared history nearly breaks Kiku's resolve, but she still raises her sword against the traitor who has already cost the Scabbards so much. Page 12: Kanjuro's deception succeeds for the fatal instant he needs. Kiku's face tightens with tears as she admits, "I couldn't bring myself to cut him... Kin-sama, I..." Kanjuro says, "Turnabout is fair play! You gave me a fatal wound earlier, after all!!" and his blade strikes through Kiku. Blood bursts from her body as Kin'emon and Momonosuke scream, "Kanjuro!!" "Kiku!!" and "Wahhh! Kanjuro!!" Kiku collapses into Kin'emon's arms, gasping "Kin-sama..." while Kin'emon shouts her name. Momonosuke cries out nearby, helpless and horrified. The page is quiet despite the screams: Kiku had the skill to strike, but the face of Oden and the memory of friendship dulled her sword. Kanjuro's performance turns that hesitation into a mortal wound, leaving Kin'emon to catch a fallen comrade while the battle outside grows darker. Page 13: As Kiku lies dying in Kin'emon's arms, she asks, "Forgive me... The lingering snow is finally melting. So I can tell the dawn is near. Wano's dawn... will still shine in the afterlife, right?" Kin'emon answers her with grief, "What are you saying?" and "...Kin?" Kanjuro staggers nearby, coughing "Kaka..." and laughing. He says, "Kakaka... Good... Someone had to close the curtain on my life..." His memories flash to the stage and the old performance of loyalty. He tells Kin'emon, "After all, while I was performing on stage... you were my best friend!!" Kin'emon roars "Kanjuro!!" and cuts him down in a huge slash, crying "Gyaahh" and "Waaahh!!" from the surrounding witnesses as the traitor falls. Kanjuro even frames his death like theater, saying Kin'emon is "a perfect fit for that role," while Kin'emon answers the betrayal with a final strike rather than another speech.
