The cover request by 420 Land reads: "Denjiro dreaming of eating giant shrimp tempura while in reality nibbling on his hair." Denjiro sleeps with his long pompadour in his mouth while his dream self happily eats an enormous shrimp tempura. The page is a cover request rather than story action, but it is official chapter art and preserves the chapter title and cover gag. Page 1: On the Oni-gashima skull dome roof, the domestic dispute between Kaido and Yamato continues. Kaido identifies Yamato's fruit: "The Makami... Dog-Dog Fruit... is an incredibly valuable... Mythical Zoan!!" He says it was a mistake to let "a wannabe Oden" like Yamato eat it, because "the Makami is Wano's guardian deity." Kaido tries to twist the fruit's meaning into obedience, telling Yamato, "Now it's your job to protect Wano... for me!!" Yamato, in the white beast form, clashes against Kaido's dragon-like power and refuses that role. The page establishes the core conflict of the rooftop exchange: Kaido sees Yamato's power as something that should serve his occupation of Wano, while Yamato sees the same power as a reason to resist him. Page 2: Kaido argues that Wano is already a hell made for exploitation. Yamato snaps back, "Like hell it is!" and Kaido says Orochi may have been a tyrant, but he turned the country into "a giant weapons factory!!" Kaido reduces Wano's people to labor, saying Yamato only has to take a rightful place as ruler and claim the fruits of their work. Yamato rejects that future completely: "I'm going to help the samurai and protect this country from you!! No more chains!! This country will open!!" Yamato then launches an icy attack, "Namuji Hyoga!" with the translator note "Divine Glacial Fang." The attack surges toward Kaido like a cold wave, making Yamato's answer physical as well as ideological: Wano is not Kaido's factory, and Yamato will fight to free it. Page 3: Kaido answers Yamato's cry to "open the country!!" with "I'm not gonna let that happen!!" and fires "Blast Breath!!" across the rooftop. Yamato's icy attack and Kaido's blast collide in a huge swirling impact above Oni-gashima, the force exploding between them while the mountains and clouds below frame the scale of the clash. After the blast, Yamato crouches and pants, growling through exhaustion, while Kaido remains grim and warns, "Don't push your luck!" The page keeps the rooftop duel locked around Wano's future: Yamato has openly declared the goal of opening the country, and Kaido responds with the full violence of a ruler determined to keep it closed and controlled. Page 4: The scene shifts to the third floor great banquet hall. Brook calls from the burning and broken hall, "Robin-san!! Get a hold of yourself!!" and then shouts her name again. Robin sees figures from her past standing before her in the smoke. Her mother Olvia smiles and says, "Come closer, Robin!" Professor Clover calls, "Professor Clover!! It's been a while!!" and Robin recognizes the illusion with a stunned "...!!" The emotional bait is precise: the enemies present the lost people of Ohara as if they have returned to welcome Robin. Brook warns from the side, but for a moment the page isolates Robin with the faces she has carried since childhood. Page 5: The illusion deepens as Jaguar D. Saul appears, laughing "Dereshishishi!!" and saying, "I've been looking forward to seeing you!!" Robin asks, "Why're you all here...?" while the images of Saul, Olvia, and Clover answer warmly. Saul says, "Look how big you've grown, Robin!" Olvia says, "I've wanted to see you too!!" and Clover says, "Same here!" Brook senses the trap immediately and warns, "Robin-san!! Don't get any closer!!" But the false reunion is designed around Robin's deepest grief, using the dead of Ohara and Saul's kindness to lure her forward. The page gives Black Maria's trick emotional weight before revealing the machinery behind it. Page 6: Robin sees through the trap. She says, "I know, but it's such a shame... Tres-Mano..." and then strikes with "Freesia!!" Giant flower-like hands bloom from the floor and smash through the illusions, revealing the real enemies behind them. The fake Saul, Olvia, and Clover are exposed as Beast Pirates using tricks: the labels identify Tenjo Kudari, a rat snake SMILE; Kunyun of the Numbers; and Nure Onna, a hognose snake SMILE. The defeated enemies cry, "They're not working...!!" and "The illusion...!" as their disguises collapse. Robin is saddened by the cruel use of her memories, but not fooled. The page turns the attempted emotional ambush into Robin...
