He looms proudly behind a display of tiny Straw Hat figures made as sweets, treating them like sacred treasures rather than merchandise. It is not part of the chapter plot, but it is useful official cover art and reinforces Bartolomeo's extreme devotion to Luffy's crew. Page 2: In the middle of a crisis, Law walks away from the others and makes his reason plain: "Don't forget that you doubted my friends today." He refuses to let people he does not trust watch his back on the line between life and death. Usopp panics that Traffy got angry and stormed out, but Nami understands Shinobu's fear because Wano's people have waited twenty years for this day. Outside, the group admits that if Bepo and the others leaked the plan, they could not blame them; torture might break anyone. When someone suggests that he might last only three seconds under torture, the answer comes back brutally: "That's it?!" Page 3: A harsh voice echoes through Ebisu Town: "Get out of my sight! I won't help lowlifes like you lot!" The townspeople identify the newcomer as the man kicked out of the capital the day before, originally from the capital, and also as the "crazy spirit lady." Yet when the anger turns to laughter, the story behind it becomes clear. The man they call Bingo was an arsonist who paid off officials; night after night the underling Bungo set fires to buildings, and only those fiercely loyal to the shogun, who could pull money from their rear end, were allowed to live in the Flower Capital. The victims were poor, but the perpetrators had been conducting ugly business. Page 4: The explanation continues: Bingo ran a lumber store that sold wooden beams used in house repair, so his friends could profit from the fires. Bongo the monk and Bingo the mortician then exploited grieving families and fire victims, charging outrageous prices. On the surface, Bingo, Bongo, and Bungo seemed besotted with Komurasaki's beauty like everyone else, but their hearts were rotten. They bribed officials and were never caught. Shinobu realizes the courtesan must have known exactly what they were doing. Tonoyasu laughs that perhaps someone really is watching from above, since Komurasaki bankrupted the criminals herself. Page 5: Tonoyasu, still smiling, explains that even though he helped the three men, they remain on their high horse because he loves helping people even when they are bad to the bone. He had seen them before during Komurasaki's procession and knew they were going wild. Then he turns to the rebellion itself. Thanks to the little coded card, the allies learned the day of the final battle, but so did the enemy, and the plan has fallen apart. Yet Tonoyasu says the allies might believe this too: the reverse crescent moon on the ankle is not even something he knew about, exactly the kind of secret mark allies would use. Page 6: The rebels prepare to move again. Tonoyasu tells them things will get busy now and promises to fight alongside them, warning that many of them may not make it through the week before the final battle without dropping dead. Then he casually announces, "And now I'm off!" and runs out to see the town girl, calling out to the handsome man and beautiful lady on his way. The others remain baffled. Even after hearing the old man's explanation, they still do not know exactly how he is connected to them, only that Tonoyasu is an unusually cheerful man. Page 7: The group admits they do not know who Tonoyasu really is. Shinobu says she does not know either, though he may have been important in the past because asking would be rude. Nami wonders whether he might be a childhood friend, teacher, or older student from Kin'emon's lessons. Others complain that they let him talk on and on despite knowing nothing about him. Outside, a shout rises: "Gramps, gramps, how's your nausea?" and the name follows after the confusion: "Oh, Tonoyasu." The mystery remains, but the people of Ebisu know him intimately. Page 8: Tonoyasu moves through Ebisu Town like a beloved neighbor. He tells one bedridden person that lying in bed surely sucks, worse than working, and leaves millet and water while urging them to eat. He checks on a seaweed granny's medicine, jokes with a silver-tongued heartstealer, and offers extra grains of millet to someone who says just seeing his face helps them feel...
