Visible figures include Yamato, Kozuki Oden, Kaido, Big Mom, Kid, Law, Zoro, Sanji, Killer, Drake, Apoo, Hawkins, Bege, Bonney, Urouge, Doflamingo, Jinbe, and other recognizable rivals or allies. There is no story dialogue, but it is official One Piece color art tied to the chapter release and visually gathers many major players, so it is kept as useful extra material. Page 1: Chapter 1023 is titled "Two Peas in a Pod." The cover request by Ari reads: "Karoo gets jealous of a flock of sparrows singing with Vivi." Vivi smiles as sparrows perch on her arms and sing with her, while Karoo fumes nearby with jealous frustration. The page is a cover request rather than story action, but it preserves the chapter title and an official lighthearted scene with Vivi and Karoo. Page 2: On the live floor, Zoro and Sanji stand shoulder to shoulder after blasting King and Queen back. The crowd cheers, "Zorojuro is back in action!!" and "Go get 'em, Sangoro-san!!" Kawamatsu watches Zoro's recovery and says it really did heal him, though he is afraid to think what will happen afterward. King and Queen rise from the rubble, enraged by the attack. Someone shouts "Queen!!" and "King!!" as the All-Stars recover. The page establishes that the fight has shifted into its decisive phase: Zoro is moving again because of the emergency medicine, Sanji is at his side, and Kaido's two top commanders are the only obstacles in front of them on the live floor. Page 3: Beast Pirates try to interfere after Zoro and Sanji strike the All-Stars, with one sniper asking, "How dare you attack the All-Stars?!" Someone yells "Drop it!!" and Kawamatsu addresses everyone: "Nicely done, Kawamatsu!! Everyone, listen up!! We can't let anybody interfere with their duel!!" A Beast Pirate objects that Zoro and Sanji are up against the All-Stars, but the samurai insist that it does not matter whether friend or foe tries to step in, there is no place for meddling in that fight. Sanji studies King and Queen's expressions and says, "Just look at the expressions on their faces, we would only get in their way!!" Marco, lying exhausted nearby with Izo, speaks of the distant past and recalls believing that only Mary Geoise was above the Red Line, hinting at King's hidden origins. Page 4: As the battle resumes, Marco's mind wanders and Izo snaps, "Wake up, Marco!!" Marco asks Izo whether he believes in God, and Izo tells him, "Oh, shut up!" Marco sounds like Pops when he was drunk, asking strange questions while lying in the chaos. King and Queen challenge the Straw Hats: "Yo, if you wanna take us down... you're gonna have to put your backs into it." Sanji answers that the previous blow did not even hurt a bit, while Zoro and Sanji attack again. Queen boasts that the drought, the plague, and the wildfire are Kaido's calamities. The page keeps the banter sharp: the All-Stars present themselves as disasters, while Zoro and Sanji refuse to treat them as unbeatable. Page 5: King and Queen keep pressing Zoro and Sanji, claiming that their unstoppable toughness is why they are called All-Stars. Sanji blocks and looks unsettled. When Zoro asks what is wrong, Sanji says it is nothing, then admits, "It's just... since my second time using the raid suit, I've been feeling kinda off... My body just feels a little odd..." Zoro tells him he is not going to slow down, and Sanji snaps, "My body, not my face, doofus!!" Queen notices and teases, "Well you do have weird eyebrows." Zoro and King clash blades again, and Zoro tells Sanji, "You owe me one!!" The page reveals Sanji's private concern: the Raid Suit may be awakening something in his body, even as he must keep fighting Queen. Page 6: Queen attacks Sanji with "Bridal Claw!!" and Sanji blocks with his burning leg, saying, "Now we're even!!" Queen laughs and remembers that all of Judge's children are enhanced, calling them "Germa 66." A translator note explains that the furigana uses the word cyborg while the kanji still uses modified human. Sanji rejects the comparison immediately: "Hate to break it to you, but I'm a regular human, unlike my siblings!!" Queen mocks that claim and asks what kind of human can burst into flames, saying Sanji is not like King because King is...
