## One Piece Chapter 1043, pages 9-10: We Die Together!! - Chapter: 1043 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Eustass Kid, Trafalgar D. Water Law, Kid Pirates, Heart Pirates, Beast Pirates, Big Mom, Kaido, Monkey D. Luffy, Samurai ### Summary Page 9: The Beast Pirates seize the moment and shout that now is their chance. They order others to get Kid and Law and take their heads, saying the captains are at the end of their rope. Kid and Law's allies rally around them, yelling, "Protect the captains!!" When the Beast Pirates say the new generation may have beaten Big Mom but Kaido is tougher than a fortress, Kid snaps back that they never had a chance. The battle below becomes a desperate defense of the exhausted captains who already spent everything defeating one Emperor. Without Luffy to hold Kaido above, the enemy forces believe the alliance's last remaining symbols can be killed one by one. Page 10: Outside and inside the basement, allies try to move through the collapsing island. Someone says the situation does not sound good and urges the others to go. In the castle interior basement, fighters find nothing but flames everywhere and look for an exit. Kid and Law, both heavily wounded, discuss the impossible choice in front of them. Kid says, "I'm fighting, Trafalgar... surrendering... or letting him kill us... are both out of the question." Law curses "Straw Hat-ya" while panting, recognizing that Luffy's fall has left them facing Kaido with no strength remaining. The page shows that surrender is not even psychologically available to them, but continued resistance may be just as impossible.
