## One Piece Chapter 1023, pages 11-12: Two Peas in a Pod - Chapter: 1023 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Inuarashi, Jack, Raizo, Minks, Beast Pirates, Kozuki Oden ### Summary Page 11: In the second floor treasure repository, Inuarashi fights Jack. Allies shout, "We've got to back up Jack-san!!" but other voices refuse to let that happen. Jack swings "Bar-aag!!" and says Inuarashi must be getting tired, promising to put him to sleep forever as "Duke of the Day." Jack insists there is no need to draw the fight out and that he has already forgiven Inuarashi for lying to him about the samurai. Inuarashi answers that Jack's country has already paid the price for sheltering Raizo, and that they would not have been able to live with themselves if they had sold Raizo out. Both fighters pant heavily, and the page frames their rematch around Zou's suffering and the minks' choice to protect a comrade at any cost. Page 12: Inuarashi declares that everything the minks went through would have made it impossible for them to come back to Wano if they had betrayed Raizo. Their struggle since the day Oden left was always meant to bring them to this point. Jack answers that he does not know this Raizo, and if Raizo is here, he will slice open his own stomach. The page connects Jack's assault on Zou to the twenty-year burden carried by Oden's retainers and allies. Inuarashi's anger is not only personal revenge; it is a refusal to let Jack reduce the minks' sacrifice to a mistake. The fight is now a reckoning for Zou's torture and for the loyalty that protected the Kozuki cause.
