The cover request by Honeynameko reads: "Ninja Zoro and a shinobi cat dodge spears thrust into an attic." Zoro, dressed in ninja-like black clothing with swords on his back, and a masked cat companion twist through the air inside an attic as spears jab up through the floorboards around them. The side text says to aim for the rooftop where the decisive battle on Onigashima is heating up, and notes that the extremely popular Volume 99 is currently on sale. Page 2: In Wano's Flower Capital, the fire festival continues under the night sky. People laugh, drink, and sing around the bonfire while music rings out with repeated festival sounds. Voices shout, "Gyahaha! Drink up!" and "Sing!" while another laughs, "Wahahahaha!!" The caption says the sounds echo through the night. Otoko smiles broadly among the revelers, and Tenguyama Hitetsu watches nearby as the city celebrates without knowing the full war above them. Someone says, "Isn't it beautiful, Otoko?" and she answers, "Yup!" A voice explains, "The fire festival is a celebration that honors the dead. We lit this bonfire in the hopes that it would be visible in the heavens." The page frames the festival as both joy and prayer: Wano's people are sending light to the dead, unaware that Onigashima is moving through the sky toward them. Page 3: Otoko keeps laughing and says, "I hope... that daddy can see it!" With the sky clear, Tenguyama Hitetsu says, "I'm certain he can!" He adds that Yasuie is probably watching over them intently, "determined to see what becomes of you and the future of this country." The festival smoke and fire rise upward through the Flower Capital while the crowd continues to sing. Above that peaceful scene, Onigashima drifts closer, its horned skull shape emerging from dark clouds with heavy rumbling sounds. The island's huge silhouette and trailing clouds cut against the sky like a silent disaster. The contrast is cruel: below, the capital honors the dead and hopes the heavens are watching; above, Kaido's fortress carries the war and its danger directly toward the people who are still celebrating. Page 4: Inside the castle at the visitors' reception, the masked CP0 agents continue tracking the battle as if it were a board game. One says, "They refuse to surrender... despite the loss of 'Straw Hat' Luffy?" and another answers, "That's right, so far..." Around them the castle shakes with distant battle sounds. They report that an additional 5,000 soldiers have been incapacitated, meaning the forces on each side should now stand at 24,000 versus 3,000. But the board has changed again: the pleasures and waiters on the live floor have turned against Queen-sama. When they account for those 4,000 men switching sides, the totals become 20,000 versus 7,000. The black and white stones on the board make the war look coldly numerical, but the update also shows that Otama's earlier dango strategy and the live floor rebellion have seriously narrowed Kaido's manpower advantage. Page 5: The CP0 agents consider the shifting numbers. One says, "It is hard to believe the disparity in manpower is actually shrinking..." Another calls it "what an unexpected turn of events," and a third notes, "It seems like the state of this battle is constantly changing as more information comes to light." A Mary frog ribbits as it relays news through the network. Bao Huang receives another report and exclaims, "Momonosuke... has fallen too?!" The enemy side is delighted: "Excellent!! The samurai will finally lose their resolve... when they hear their little lord is dead!!" Bao Huang cheers, "Yeah!! Let's go break their spirits!!" On the same floor as Nami, Usopp, and Otama, Nami is startled that her Clima-Tact is talking. The voice inside protests, "No, it's like I keep trying to tell you, it's me! The one they used to call Zeus!!" Nami asks why he is inside her Clima-Tact and whether he was eaten back there, while the weapon's voice tries to explain. Page 6: Zeus explains the strange survival of his soul. He says that after his soul left his old body, he started to get really dizzy; Hera was about to absorb him, but "when Nami extended her Clima-Tact toward us," it was like she swiped him from Hera right before he was eaten. Now he appears as a living face in the Clima-Tact and announces, "I've been given a new lease on life!! And look at me now!!" Nami is not charmed, yelling, "What?! I didn't sign up for an annoying, sentient weapon!!" Zeus admits, "That's right! You still haven't forgiven me!! But... I can't leave without Mama's powers!!" As they run, Usopp calls, "Hey...
