## One Piece Chapter 896, pages 7-8: The Last Request - Chapter: 896 - Pages: 7-8 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Charlotte Katakuri ### Summary Page 7: The two fighters move again with short, exhausted bursts. Luffy flicks his arm forward, and Katakuri answers with his own movement; the ruined floor cracks beneath them with "crack crack crack!!" One body slams down in the distance, and another impact follows with a heavy crash. Katakuri and Luffy keep forcing themselves through the rubble, but the movements are no longer clean techniques. They are reflexes from bodies that have already gone past their limits. Katakuri breathes, "Huff..." while standing over the wreckage, and Luffy lies nearby with the same broken rhythm. The page shows the duel reaching its true end: both men can still move, but neither has enough left to continue the long exchange they have been fighting all night. Page 8: Luffy collapses into the dust and rubble, his body smoking from Gear Fourth's toll. Katakuri's shadow is shown in pieces as he steadies himself, and a quiet "thud" marks a body hitting the ground. The sound of a clock cuts through the silence: "SFX: tick tock." The panels linger on Luffy's damaged face, then Katakuri's equally battered expression. Neither of them speaks. The waiting clock matters because Cacao Island's one o'clock deadline is approaching while Luffy is still trapped in the mirror world. This page gives the aftermath a tense pause: the fight may be over, but Luffy still has to wake, understand the time, and escape before the Charlotte army closes the trap.
