Luffy swings forward from a large pink structure, while Nami, Usopp, Sanji, Brook, Robin, Franky, Jinbe, Chopper, and Zoro appear in winter outfits around the town. This is official color art and release promotion rather than direct chapter narrative, so it is kept as useful extra material. Page 2: King falls after Zoro's final slash, with the narration saying that Zoro has clipped King's wings. The chapter title appears: "Chapter 1036: Bushido is the Way of Death," with a note that it references Hagakure, a guide to being a warrior. Zoro and King both huff from the decisive clash. As King falls, he remembers Kaido and asks, "Kaido-san... you still believe that, King?!" The page ties King's defeat directly to the promise he made with Kaido and to Zoro's own resolve. The battle is no longer only about strength; it is about whether King still believes in Kaido's dream even as he is cut down. Page 3: In King's memory, Kaido asks whether King thinks he is Joyboy and whether the world he is making is really the world King wanted. King answers that legends are legends and that it no longer matters what Kaido does, because King owes him his life. He tells Kaido to just keep being the strongest, and promises that he will make sure never to lose until Kaido is King of the Pirates. In parallel, Zoro remembers his promise to Luffy and Kuina: he will never lose again until he beats Mihawk and becomes the greatest swordsman. Luffy jokes that being the future King of the Pirates means he has a problem with that. The page mirrors King and Zoro as warriors bound to their captains by vows. Page 4: Zoro gathers himself after the clash and declares, "I'll become... the King of Hell!" King, defeated, falls away from the battle outside the right brain tower, and the result is announced: "Victor: Zoro." The panel shows Zoro still surrounded by Haki and smoke, panting but standing, while King's winged body drops into the wreckage below. This page closes Zoro vs. King with a formal victory marker, matching Sanji's earlier win over Queen. Zoro's victory also completes the fall of Kaido's top commanders, showing that the Straw Hat crew has now broken through the core of the Beast Pirates' hierarchy. Page 5: The news of King's defeat spreads. A Mary watches silently as King crashes down, and the announcement reaches the interior: "King... has lost!!" The listeners are shocked and say it cannot be, because the All-Stars and the Flying Six have been defeated. One voice says this is no joke, while another insists those wins are meaningless as long as Kaido and Big Mom are still standing. The page shifts the raid's momentum from individual victories to the larger war. Zoro and Sanji have toppled Kaido's top officers, but the alliance still faces the two Emperors whose presence alone can erase those gains. Page 6: Narration lays out the disaster still approaching. If Luffy manages to triumph over Kaido, the flame clouds holding Onigashima would dissipate and the island would crash down. That would ignite the gunpowder stores in the castle's basement and cause an explosion that would consume the Flower Capital, whose people remain unaware that their lives could be snuffed out at any moment while they enjoy the Fire Festival. Momonosuke vows, "I will stop this!!" and tries to hold the island back. Another crisis approaches as Kazenbo, the manifestation of Kanjuro's hatred, heads for the same basement, spurred on by Orochi's words. Fortunately, Yamato is in hot pursuit. Page 7: At the gate to the armory, Number Rokki blocks the way. Yamato realizes she does not have time to fight him because the key to the armory is at stake, so she asks Fuga to help. Fuga charges forward with a huge headbutt, smashing into Rokki and the gate while Yamato thanks him. She tells Fuga to keep Rokki busy, and Fuga answers in his own way. The impact cracks and snaps the door, and Yamato races ahead, telling Fuga he did nice work. The wide page shows Yamato relying on her old connection with the Numbers to clear the path toward the gunpowder store before Kazenbo can reach it. Page 8: In the attic between the first and second floor, Hamlet and Usopp are surrounded by flames and enemies. Someone s...
