## One Piece Chapter 1049, pages 0-2: The World You Wish For - Chapter: 1049 - Pages: 0-2 - Characters: Germa 66, Vinsmoke Niji, Vinsmoke Yonji, Monkey D. Luffy, Kaido, Vodka Kingdom Soldiers, Vodka Kingdom Nobles, Marines, Celestial Dragons ### Summary Page 0: The official cover page reads "Chapter 1049: The World You Wish For." It continues Germa 66's cold-blooded voyage, volume 11: "What the?! The book in the research lab is on fire?! That means those two are free!!" The cover-story image shows the Germa siblings amid flames and research equipment, implying that Niji and Yonji may have escaped from the book prison. This is official serial cover-story material rather than the main Wano climax, so it is kept as useful extra context. Page 1: The final clash continues in the skies above Onigashima. A caption asks, "A fierce Haki clash!! Who will prevail...?" Luffy and Kaido strain against each other, Luffy screaming as his giant fist presses down and Kaido's blazing dragon body rises to meet it. Kaido acknowledges the attack with "Well played!!" and tells Luffy, "I have to hand it to you for coming this far... but...!! You'll never be able to change the world!!" The page frames Kaido's last resistance as more than strength. He accepts Luffy's power but refuses to believe Luffy has the ability to remake the world that Kaido has dominated through violence. Page 2: Kaido's mind flashes back to his youth. At only ten years old, in the Kingdom of Vodka forty-six years ago, he was already praised as the strongest soldier around, with warriors saying, "He did it!!" and that they were still itching for more. The kingdom's leaders explain that their nation has no choice but to wage war because the loot from conquest is their only way to pay the Celestial Tribute; if they fail, they will lose their standing in the world. Kaido asks why the Celestial Dragons get to boss them around, then is offered up for navy enlistment and a seat at the next Reverie. Furious, he shouts that he is not a political bargaining chip.
