Luffy, Silvers Rayleigh, Queen, Roronoa Zoro, Gyukimaru, Shimotsuki Ryuma, Komurasaki, O-Toko, Kamazo, Kurozumi Orochi ### Summary Page 3: In Wano, on the road between Kuri and Udon, O-Lin rides forward with Chopper, Kiku, Tama, and Momonosuke, laughing with huge innocent hunger as the group heads toward the prisoner mine. Tama excitedly praises oshiruko, comparing the shining mochi pearls to frog eyes and remembering the sweetness of the red beans filling her cheeks. O-Lin answers with equal delight, saying she cannot wait to eat it, but Chopper is shaken by the danger hidden inside that simple craving. He realizes that if O-Lin becomes Big Mom again after learning there is no oshiruko, their rescue plan could turn into a disaster and put Luffy in even worse danger. Page 4: At the Udon prisoner mine, Luffy keeps testing himself in Queen's brutal arena. More Pleasures lie beaten around him, yet Luffy is dissatisfied: what he just did is not the refined force Rayleigh once showed him. He remembers Rayleigh stopping a charging elephant without touching it, describing the idea as invisible armor. Watching Luffy chase that memory, the prisoners can only wonder what sort of technique Straw Hat is trying to grasp. Luffy understands that Rayleigh's Haki was far beyond the basics, and if he can reproduce that level now, it may become the weapon he needs. Page 5: Queen laughs over the arena, pleased that Luffy continues to survive. His men want a quick execution, but Queen rejects that as boring: to him, only time and numbers make a battle entertaining. He keeps demanding updates on how many bowls of oshiruko have been eaten, because the food is precious to him, almost like oxygen. Luffy, still focused on training through combat, simply calls for the next opponent. Queen boasts that he brought a huge amount of oshiruko and that nobody else is getting any because it is his favorite. Page 6: In Ringo, at Bandit Bridge, Zoro clashes verbally with the bandit warrior monk Gyukimaru. Zoro insists that he met Ryuma, though the situation involved another soul inside Ryuma's body. Gyukimaru refuses to accept it, reminding him that Ryuma lived and died hundreds of years ago. He describes Ryuma as an unmatched swordsman who settled his fights with a single flash of the blade, then turns the argument back to Shusui: a fool like Zoro, he says, cannot understand the value of that famed sword. Page 7: Gyukimaru explains why Shusui is not merely a weapon. Long ago, Wano was known outside its borders as a golden country, coveted by pirates and nobles alike, and Ryuma's strength protected it from those who came to seize it. The legend even says he cut down a dragon in the sky above the capital. After Ryuma died, he and Shusui were enshrined together, making the sword a treasure of Wano itself. Zoro listens, thanks him for the history, and then bluntly says it does not change his goal: he wants Shusui back, because without all three of his swords something feels wrong. Page 8: Gyukimaru pushes further, saying Shusui is a black blade that became what it is through Ryuma's battles. Zoro catches on that this may answer something that has been bothering him about black blades, but before he can press the question, cries for help tear through the snow. A woman and child are fleeing for their lives. Gyukimaru uses the distraction immediately, striking at Zoro's opening while accusing him of greed for Shusui. Zoro snaps back that he was clearly distracted, but the new danger has already entered the fight. Page 9: The woman and the child rush through the snowy bridge road, begging for someone to save them. The little girl laughs even while crying out, calling for a samurai, and the woman pleads with the swordsman in front of her. Gyukimaru declares that distractions decide battles and keeps aiming at Zoro's openings. Zoro complains that the monk is attacking while he is plainly distracted, but then he sees the blood dripping from the woman's wound. Her fear is not an act. Zoro's face hardens as he understands that the two are truly being hunted. Page 10: The pursuer launches spinning scythes through the snow with a sharp whistling motion, forcing the woman and child to scream and stumble. Zoro cuts into the attack path and blocks the killing blow just in time, taking the pressure onto his own swords instead of letting it reach them. The attacker grins through his bandages and tells Zoro to wait, while the woman pants behind him, shaken but alive. The duel at Bandit Bridge has now become a three-sided fight: Zoro against Gyukimaru, Zoro against the killer, and the woman and child caught in the center. Page 11: Gyukimaru is furious that Zoro's attention has shifted and demands that he focus on their duel, but Zoro snaps that he will deal with him after surviving th...
