## One Piece Chapter 1023, pages 3-4: Two Peas in a Pod - Chapter: 1023 - Pages: 3-4 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Sanji, King, Queen, Kawamatsu, Marco, Izo, Samurai, Beast Pirates, Whitebeard ### Summary Page 3: Beast Pirates try to interfere after Zoro and Sanji strike the All-Stars, with one sniper asking, "How dare you attack the All-Stars?!" Someone yells "Drop it!!" and Kawamatsu addresses everyone: "Nicely done, Kawamatsu!! Everyone, listen up!! We can't let anybody interfere with their duel!!" A Beast Pirate objects that Zoro and Sanji are up against the All-Stars, but the samurai insist that it does not matter whether friend or foe tries to step in, there is no place for meddling in that fight. Sanji studies King and Queen's expressions and says, "Just look at the expressions on their faces, we would only get in their way!!" Marco, lying exhausted nearby with Izo, speaks of the distant past and recalls believing that only Mary Geoise was above the Red Line, hinting at King's hidden origins. Page 4: As the battle resumes, Marco's mind wanders and Izo snaps, "Wake up, Marco!!" Marco asks Izo whether he believes in God, and Izo tells him, "Oh, shut up!" Marco sounds like Pops when he was drunk, asking strange questions while lying in the chaos. King and Queen challenge the Straw Hats: "Yo, if you wanna take us down... you're gonna have to put your backs into it." Sanji answers that the previous blow did not even hurt a bit, while Zoro and Sanji attack again. Queen boasts that the drought, the plague, and the wildfire are Kaido's calamities. The page keeps the banter sharp: the All-Stars present themselves as disasters, while Zoro and Sanji refuse to treat them as unbeatable.
