## One Piece Chapter 1029, pages 7-8: The Tower - Chapter: 1029 - Pages: 7-8 - Characters: Killer, Basil Hawkins, Eustass Kid, Beast Pirates, Kid Pirates, Big Mom, Kaido ### Summary Page 7: The scene cuts to the third floor, where Killer is fighting Hawkins. Killer shouts, "Stop it!!" while Hawkins laughs, "Fa fa fa!!" and repeatedly bashes his own skull against a pillar. Killer's allies beg Hawkins to stop and ask why they cannot help Killer finish him. Hawkins mocks Killer, asking whether he actually ate a Smile fruit and saying he has the worst luck. Killer begs, "I'm begging you to stop!" but Hawkins laughs that Killer is not fighting either. As the fire approaches, allies shout that they cannot take it anymore and need to hurry and leave. Killer tells Hawkins, "Release Kid... You can have my life if that's what it takes!!" Page 8: Killer kicks Hawkins away and tells him to stop getting in Kid's way. Hawkins says Kid is apparently facing Big Mom now and bets that Kid sees it as his chance to finally supplant an Emperor. He offers Killer a way out, saying Killer can always cut him down with those scythes if he is sick of him, and adds that he still does not mind if Killer surrenders. Hawkins will even put in a good word with Kaido. Killer refuses, saying their side has no chance of winning only if one accepts Hawkins's cowardly path. He says the reason Hawkins's dominion over seas has lasted so long is obvious to anyone who has laid eyes on the Emperors: they cannot be beaten. Killer then says he sees through Hawkins's wailing and that Hawkins regrets the path he chose.
