Kaido, still on the rooftop after Luffy's apparent defeat, looks up and asks, "What's happening...?" and "How can he still stand?" Luffy's body beats with the rhythm "Doom dut da da" while he laughs and says, "I just lost... But I feel like I'm having a blast... Ahaha hahaha!!" Momonosuke tells Yamato that Zunesha said Luffy is Joyboy, and Yamato reacts in shock: "Zunesha said that?!" The page turns the previous chapter's despair on its head. The man whose voice vanished is moving again, and the sound Zunesha called the Drums of Liberation is coming from Luffy himself. Page 2: Across Onigashima, Luffy's revival is felt by his allies. In the Pleasure Hall right brain tower, people yell and someone cries, "Sir Pirate! You're awake!!" Sanji, badly battered but alert, says, "Luffy...?" On the live floor, Kid looks up and asks, "What the--?!" Law, Marco, Hyo, Nami, Tama, and others react as they sense that Straw Hat is still breathing. Nami and Tama weep and shout, "Luffy's still alive?!" and "You've gotta be okay, right?! Big Bro..." The page spreads the news of Luffy's return through the alliance like a heartbeat. His presence has not simply returned on the roof; everyone who had been crushed by the announcement of his death begins to feel hope again.
