## One Piece Chapter 1047, pages 7-10: The Skies Above the Capital - Chapter: 1047 - Pages: 7-10 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Kaido, Gol D. Roger ### Summary Page 7: Kaido avoids the thrown lightning and closes the distance, telling Luffy, "You can keep playing around if you want... but...!!" Luffy is still treating the battlefield with cartoon energy, but Kaido answers with blunt force rather than amazement. He rushes through the storm and slams Luffy hard enough to make him cry out, "Agh!!" The page is a reminder that Gear Fifth's freedom does not mean the fight is over. Kaido is amused by the ridiculous power, but he is not overwhelmed by it, and every moment Luffy spends improvising gives the emperor a chance to strike back. Page 8: Kaido lectures Luffy in the middle of the exchange, saying, "In the end, a strong devil fruit power... isn't enough to conquer these seas!!" Luffy starts another "Gomu Gomu no..." but Kaido catches him before he can finish and drives him down with another brutal blow, leaving him grunting in pain. The page contrasts Luffy's awakened Devil Fruit with Kaido's view of the world. To Kaido, powers are only one weapon; the thing that truly decides who rules the sea is something deeper and harder, and he uses the beating itself to make that argument. Page 9: Kaido uses Roger as proof of his point: "Look at Roger, he had no fruit power... and still brought the world to heel!! Such hurdles can only be overcome... with Haki!!" As he says this, Luffy stretches and tries to rebound through the air, but Kaido's dominance keeps forcing him onto the defensive. The page makes the conflict more than a clash of strange abilities. Kaido recognizes that Luffy's awakening is extraordinary, but he insists that ambition, will, and Haki are the true measure of conquest, invoking the Pirate King himself as the standard neither of them can ignore. Page 10: Luffy rebounds with rubbery sound effects, but Kaido finds his position and hits him with a named Haki attack: "Death Destroyer Thunder Bagua!!" A note explains the reference to Daimitoku Myo-o, another of the five Wisdom Kings and the vanquisher of Yama, god of death. The strike crashes into Luffy with enormous impact, forcing a startled "Huh?!" and heavy sound effects as the blow lands. The page demonstrates exactly what Kaido means by Haki overcoming power. Even in Gear Fifth's bizarre rhythm, a properly timed, conqueror-coated attack can smash through Luffy's momentum.
