It continues Germa 66's cold-blooded voyage, volume 14: "A certain scientist failed to get away!!" The cover-story image shows Germa escaping from the burning Whole Cake Island laboratory while a silhouetted scientist is caught in the aftermath. This is official cover-story material rather than the main Wano aftermath, so it is retained as useful extra context. Page 1: At the Holy Land, Mary Geoise, the news of Wano creates a grave situation. Someone says, "So... Nika has finally emerged?" and the discussion confirms that two emperors have fallen. The World Government knows it cannot cover this up because the whole world will latch onto the news, and someone asks how they will deal with the timing. On the seas around Wano, government ships confirm that Zunesha has wandered off into the mist, so the borders remain closed for now and Wano is still almost impenetrable. The page reframes Luffy and the alliance's victory as a global crisis: Kaido's fall is not a local secret but a world-shaking political event. Page 2: The World Government considers its next move. They say their plans have been modified because at least one person involved has considerable guile, and that even with their numbers a direct invasion of Wano is now impossible. They still want Nico Robin brought to them. CP0 receives orders to come in, but one agent answers nervously, "Y-yes...!!" before another voice hijacks the signal and says, "Listen up!!" CP0 realizes someone is on their channel, and the intruder says he is on his way and tells them to stay where they are. The page adds a new threat after the victory: the Government cannot invade openly, but it still targets Robin and sends a powerful figure toward Wano. Page 3: After twenty years of tyranny in Wano, news of the Kozuki victory is met with jubilation. On Onigashima, Drake and Basil Hawkins lie battered inside the castle. Hawkins says Drake was a Marine dog this whole time and asks whether he has anything else to say, but Drake says Hawkins cannot really expect him to answer that. Hawkins looks ruined and says those precious cards of his promised he would be safe if he stuck with Kaido. The page contrasts the country's celebration outside with the private reckoning of those who backed or infiltrated Kaido's side. Drake survived as a spy, while Hawkins faces the result of trusting probability over conviction. Page 4: Hawkins explains why he sided with Kaido. He says he submitted to that monster because he knew doing otherwise would court death, while Kid and his crew fought to the bitter end because they were prepared to die. Drake asks whether Hawkins really would have gone crawling back even if he foresaw Kaido's victory. Hawkins then reveals the meaning of his earlier fortune: when he told the man in front of him that a certain person's survival chances were only one percent, he was talking about himself. The page gives Hawkins a bleak ending to his fatalism. He knew the odds and still chose the safer-looking path, only to watch those prepared to die win instead. Page 5: Seven days after the end of the war, the Flower Capital is still celebrating. Decorations remain up because Momonosuke, now shogun, has decreed that another festival will be held soon. A teacher tells students they have to restart their history lessons from scratch, beginning with the story of the wonderful Kozuki Oden. Children ask whether Ms. Sarahebi is coming back, while adults still marvel that Komurasaki is really Oden's daughter and that Kappa Kawamatsu saved her from the blazing castle. The page shows the new morning in Wano as a rewriting of public memory: the old propaganda gives way to the true history of Oden, Hiyori, and the retainers. Page 6: The people continue digesting the truth. They realize that Kyoshiro, the noble yakuza boss, was really Denjiro in disguise, and call it an incredible display of loyalty. At Paradise Farm, citizens ask about the man who took down Kaido and say he is apparently a warrior known as Joy Boy. Some say they heard he is no longer in the country, and others...
