It continues Germa 66's cold-blooded voyage, volume 11: "What the?! The book in the research lab is on fire?! That means those two are free!!" The cover-story image shows the Germa siblings amid flames and research equipment, implying that Niji and Yonji may have escaped from the book prison. This is official serial cover-story material rather than the main Wano climax, so it is kept as useful extra context. Page 1: The final clash continues in the skies above Onigashima. A caption asks, "A fierce Haki clash!! Who will prevail...?" Luffy and Kaido strain against each other, Luffy screaming as his giant fist presses down and Kaido's blazing dragon body rises to meet it. Kaido acknowledges the attack with "Well played!!" and tells Luffy, "I have to hand it to you for coming this far... but...!! You'll never be able to change the world!!" The page frames Kaido's last resistance as more than strength. He accepts Luffy's power but refuses to believe Luffy has the ability to remake the world that Kaido has dominated through violence. Page 2: Kaido's mind flashes back to his youth. At only ten years old, in the Kingdom of Vodka forty-six years ago, he was already praised as the strongest soldier around, with warriors saying, "He did it!!" and that they were still itching for more. The kingdom's leaders explain that their nation has no choice but to wage war because the loot from conquest is their only way to pay the Celestial Tribute; if they fail, they will lose their standing in the world. Kaido asks why the Celestial Dragons get to boss them around, then is offered up for navy enlistment and a seat at the next Reverie. Furious, he shouts that he is not a political bargaining chip. Page 3: Kaido's early legend grows through escapes and violence. He escapes from a Marine prison ship, leaving people shouting, "Kaido escaped!!" and wondering whether he really escaped again after they already caught him. Someone remarks that a prison ship is not a buffet and that he only gets caught when he is hungry. Forty-four years ago on Pirate Island Fullalead, Kaido's strength shocks everyone. People ask who this kid is and how he can only be fifteen. He then meets Whitebeard, who says, "Hey, brat! You wanna be a pirate? Rocks wants to meet you. What will you do?" Kaido joins the Rocks Pirates, and soon word spreads that they are unstoppable and heading to God Valley. Page 4: The flashback reaches the fall of Rocks. Pirates scream that the Rocks have fallen and ask whether all the monsters on that crew really lost, with someone saying they heard a Marine called Garp beat them. Others argue that their infighting did them in because none of them were team players. Ten years later, Kaido is known as the "embodiment of brutality." Kurozumi Higurashi says that if one studies history, humans have always resorted to brutality to solve the world's problems, and Kaido agrees, saying that weapons shape the world they live in. Higurashi proposes that everything should revolve around the former members of the Rocks crew, while Kaido hardens into his belief that survival of the fittest is true nature. Page 5: Kaido declares the ideal of his coming empire: "Let's show all those 'peace loving' nobles... the hellish reality of war!!" He says a person's worth can only truly be gauged in battle, where everyone is equal and anarchy reigns free. In a quieter flashback, King tells Kaido that Yamato mentioned Joy Boy but is not sure what brought her to his name. King says Oden apparently wanted to open Wano to welcome Joy Boy. Kaido answers, "If Joyboy is the same man that you're waiting for, King... then I know who he is." When King asks who that is, Kaido's statement hangs over the present battle, linking the name Joy Boy to whoever can finally defeat him. Page 6: The present resumes with Onigashima still falling. The sound of the clash rattles the sky while Yamato shouts, "Luffy will win...!! I know it!!" and urges, "Do it, Momonosuke-kun!!" Momo, desperate, calls, "Come forth, flame clouds!! Obey me!!" Inside the live floor of the dome, people scream as rubble and water crash around them, while the Flower Capital continues its festival below, unaware of the disaster overhead. The page places everyone between faith and catastrophe: Yamato trusts Luffy, Momo must command the flame clouds at last, and the people inside Onigashima are r...
