## One Piece Chapter 1015, pages 10-11: Chained - Chapter: 1015 - Pages: 10-11 - Characters: Kin'emon, Kaido, Momonosuke, Shinobu, Mary, Tony Tony Chopper, Samurai, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 10: Kin'emon begs Shinobu to keep moving: "Please escape, Momonosuke-sama!!" and "Keep running, Shinobu!!" Momonosuke wails "Waaah!!" as Shinobu carries him away through the castle. Kaido looks down at Kin'emon and says, "It's not easy... but sometimes you have to accept defeat." Then he drives his weapon down with a brutal "Stab!!" Kin'emon's silhouetted body jerks in the impact while Kaido completes the lesson: "Embrace your honorable death like a true samurai!!" At the edge of the room, a Mary frog sits with its eye-marked mask and says, "Ribbit." The page is cold and ceremonial. Kaido is not simply trying to kill Kin'emon; he is trying to define the death as submission, forcing the samurai's last stand into his own language of defeat. The presence of the Mary nearby also gives Momonosuke a means to turn the moment into a message instead. Page 11: Momonosuke, crying and hiccuping, seizes the Mary frog as Shinobu carries him through the rubble. Shinobu asks, "What?! A frog?! Momonosuke-sama, why are you..." but Momo says, "I have to tell them!!" A voice in his mind encourages him: "Momo, let everybody know!!" Down on the live floor, the broadcast suddenly changes. A Mary announces, "...Kozuki Momonosuke!!" Fighters react with "!!?" and "Momonosuke-sama!!" Chopper asks, "You're unharmed?!" while samurai stare up through the chaos. One cries, "Our lord crying...?" Momo, still sobbing and panting, forces out the message: "This is... Luffy entrusted me with a message!!" The unfinished enemy line "Luffy-taro has already been--" is overtaken by Momo's voice. The page turns Momo's tears from weakness into proof that he is alive and connected to Luffy, giving the alliance a new voice after Kaido's broadcast tried to silence them.
