## One Piece Chapter 943, pages 5-7: SMILE - Chapter: 943 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Roronoa Zoro, Kozuki Hiyori, O-Toko, Shimotsuki Yasuie, Kurozumi Orochi, Monkey D. Luffy, Hyogoro ### Summary Page 5: Yasuie's body lies before the prison, and Hiyori explains the cruelty behind the laughter. The people are trapped in misery yet prevented from truly expressing it. O-Toko sobs, "Zorojuro, please... If this is not hell, then... what is?" Zoro realizes the truth: SMILE is not just a synthetic Devil Fruit. Orochi, riding nearby, laughs that Yasuie's end is fitting and calls him a hedge-rat, delighted that someone he hated still spent his final moments in Wano. The grief of Ebisu is being twisted into a joke before everyone. Page 6: Orochi orders everyone to laugh, smile, and send Yasuie off with cheer, calling Wano bright and mirthful. Zoro and the others arrive too late, and the people of Ebisu collapse around their beloved friend. Hiyori kneels in tears, while others wheeze, laugh, and mourn at the same time. Lord Yasuie is gone, and one man says he was a fool for not knowing it was him until he had already been crucified. The forced laughter turns the mourning into something unbearable. Page 7: At Udon prisoner mine, the broadcast shows people laughing as their former daimyo is executed before their eyes. The prisoners shout that the Ebisu people have lost their minds and call Orochi cruel. Luffy, swollen from food and furious, says there is no one out there whose death should be laughed at. Hyogoro, however, sees the reason: some people there cannot do anything but smile. He identifies it as the SMILE fruits at work. The tragedy reaches Udon clearly enough for Luffy to understand that the laughter is not joy.
