## One Piece Chapter 1024, pages 7-9: Nobody Important - Chapter: 1024 - Pages: 7-9 - Characters: Yamato, Kaido, Kozuki Oden, Beast Pirates ### Summary Page 7: Kaido answers Yamato's "Ringing Arrow" with a stronger strike of his own. Yamato's attack cuts through the air, but Kaido swings back and launches "Thunderous... Arrow!!" The two shockwaves clash across the rooftop, sending debris and pressure flying between them. Yamato is knocked back and groans, while Kaido remains in his beastly transformed state, watching closely. The page emphasizes that Yamato can meet Kaido's techniques head-on for a moment, but the gap in raw strength is still terrifying. Every exchange shakes the rooftop, and the black lightning-like impact around their blows makes the fight feel less like a family argument and more like a Conqueror's clash. Page 8: Kaido advances through the rubble and tells Yamato plainly, "You're trying... to kill me!!" Yamato agrees, and Kaido says this is not a family squabble Yamato should have entered unprepared. Carrying Oden's name is a heavy burden, and Kaido says he is not playing around. Yamato, exhausted and breathing hard, asks what is wrong with admiring Oden and says, "I was captivated by Oden!!" Kaido's expression hardens as the present duel leads into memory. The page makes the emotional core explicit: Yamato's identification with Oden is not childish costume play in the middle of the raid; it is the source of a life-defining conflict with Kaido that began years earlier. Page 9: The chapter flashes back to the skull dome after Oden's death, when young Yamato was called the "Oni Princess" and accused of throwing a nonstop tantrum for a week. Yamato, chained and beaten, insists, "My name is Oden!!" and demands to be let out of the chains, shouting, "I'm Oden!! Kozuki Oden!!" Kaido's subordinates lie defeated around the room from the child's violent outburst. Kaido stands over the wreckage and asks, "Yamato... did you... do this?" Yamato keeps panting and repeats "Oden!!" The page shows how early Yamato's rebellion became dangerous: even as a child, Yamato's claim to Oden's name was backed by power strong enough to knock down adults and provoke Kaido's full anger.
