## One Piece Chapter 773, pages 13-15: Half and Half - Chapter: 773 - Pages: 13-15 - Characters: Bartolomeo, Gladius, Nico Robin, Cavendish, Hakuba ### Summary Page 13: Bartolomeo wraps the swelling Gladius in "Barrier Ball!" and cries, "Robin-senpai! If it means protecting you, I will never falter!" Inside the barrier, Gladius dares him, "Burst all you want, asswipe!" and says they are inside an invincible barrier right now. He promises, "I'll start with a stab to your windpipe!" and attacks Bartolomeo inside the sealed barrier. Robin realizes Bartolomeo intends to sacrifice himself, and Cavendish watches with a grin. The page shows Bartolomeo choosing to trap both himself and Gladius so the explosion and poison needles cannot reach Robin. Page 14: Gladius explodes inside the barrier with "Fashion Punk!" and a translator note explains it as "full-body rupture." The blast fills the sealed Barrier Ball while Robin cries, "Chicken-kun!" Gladius, rupturing inside the sphere, screams, and Bartolomeo answers, "Eat that, porcupine." Robin says, "That should be enough to stop the wall as well." The page is mostly the contained explosion: Bartolomeo's barrier becomes a sealed arena for Gladius's full-body rupture, preventing the blast from spreading outward. Page 15: The blast leaves Gladius badly wounded, and he mutters that Robin was only a few centimeters off: what Bartolomeo stabbed was not his windpipe but his shoulder. Robin calls, "Nico Robin, forgive me!!" while Bartolomeo, poisoned and battered, tells Robin to believe him and release her hands. Cavendish says, "I've suppressed Hakuba! I really am Cavendish now! But I've given Hakuba control of half of my body!" He explains that if Robin releases him, they will use Hakuba's speed to run straight to the sunflower fields. Robin hesitates, asking what she should do, while Bartolomeo struggles to hold on after the explosion and says barriers are convenient after all. Gladius, still alive, says that as long as he draws breath the wall shall not be stopped, and vows, "Savor it, my friend, the moment your friends are blasted to bits."
