## One Piece Chapter 1036, pages 9-10: Bushido is the Way of Death - Chapter: 1036 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Usopp, Kikunojo, Kinemon, Hamlet, Beast Pirates, Izo, Monkey D. Luffy, Whitebeard Pirates ### Summary Page 9: Usopp shouts that he does not care if it looks pathetic to keep struggling with tears and snot running down his face. He says he will never stop clinging to life, and that Kiku and Kinemon have to keep going too. He argues that even if dying after coming this far would be disgraceful, it would be a waste, and that it is not enough to have simply fought in the raid. Kiku weakly calls out to him. Usopp's words cut through the fatalistic samurai logic, and nearby allies agree with him. The enemy rushes in, but Usopp keeps fighting, blasting them back while protecting the injured Scabbards and rejecting the idea that honorable death is the proper ending. Page 10: Izo appears and cuts down the enemies around Usopp, shocking the Beast Pirates, who recognize him as a former Whitebeard division leader. Usopp thanks him without knowing who he is. Kinemon recognizes him as Izo, and Izo kneels by him, calling him big brother and telling him not to strain himself because speaking will aggravate his wounds. Izo says there will be time to talk later, then addresses the fallen Kinemon: if he and Kiku truly believe in Straw Hat Luffy, then they have to live on. The page answers Usopp's survival speech with Izo's own resolve and places the wounded Scabbards' hope directly in Luffy's hands.
