## One Piece Chapter 1043, pages 5-6: We Die Together!! - Chapter: 1043 - Pages: 5-6 - Characters: Kawamatsu, Samurai, Beast Pirates, Alliance Fighters, Kaido, Monkey D. Luffy, Kozuki Momonosuke, Nami, Trafalgar D. Water Law, Eustass Kid, Kid Pirates, Heart Pirates ### Summary Page 5: Kawamatsu shouts that thousands of comrades are still inside the burning castle and that there is no water around, because if Onigashima were not up in the sky they might have another option. Flames roar everywhere, and samurai beg everyone to find a way out, saying there is no honor in burning alive. The collapsing rubble and fire throw fighters through the air while panic spreads. This page grounds Kaido's return in the raid's practical crisis: even before his victory announcement, the alliance is trapped in a floating fortress with no easy escape, no water, and countless wounded people still inside. Defeating commanders has not solved the problem of survival. Page 6: Kaido appears in dragon form inside the dome and declares, "Straw Hat Luffy is dead!!" He asks where the alliance's leader is and demands that Momonosuke declare surrender. The Beast Pirates celebrate, shouting that Kaido has achieved total victory, while Luffy's allies refuse to believe it. Nami screams that Luffy cannot have lost and that he is not dead, while others cry that Luffy has been killed. Kid and Law's side says Straw Hat's voice has vanished, confirming what Momonosuke sensed. The page captures the emotional collapse of the raid's morale: for the enemies, Luffy's defeat is proof of victory, but for his friends it is an unbearable lie.
