It continues Germa 66's cold-blooded voyage, volume 9: "A pair of intruders on Pudding's turf - Chocolat Town!!" The cover-story image shows Chocolat Town reacting to silhouettes of intruders connected to Germa 66's rescue thread, while the island residents look alarmed. This is official cover-story material rather than the main Wano battle, so it is retained as useful extra context. Page 1: On the rooftop, Kaido watches Luffy bouncing and laughing to the rhythm of "Doom dut da da." Luffy tries to decide what to call his last move and jokes that it was "Gomu Gomu no... something," while Kaido, still battered, asks him, "Just tell me one thing. Who the hell... are you?" The sound of the Drums of Liberation also reaches Zunesha, who says the rhythm is nostalgic and calls, "Joyboy... Hey, Joyboy..." The page holds the aftermath of Gear Fifth's reveal in place. Kaido is no longer only fighting an upstart rubber man; he is facing something he cannot identify, while Zunesha recognizes the same rhythm from eight centuries ago. Page 2: Luffy answers Kaido's question with his own name and dream. As the rhythm continues and the island looms above the Flower Capital, Zunesha thinks that it is as if Joyboy is right there and that the whole situation feels like fate. Kaido asks who Luffy is, and Luffy replies, "Who, me? I'm Monkey D. Luffy!! The man who's gonna... surpass you and become... King of the Pirates!!" His grin fills the page, making the answer both ordinary and enormous. Even after the mythic Nika reveal, Luffy defines himself in the same terms he always has: by his name, his will, and the dream of becoming Pirate King. Page 3: Kaido accepts that Luffy still has spirit and calls his transformation an awakening, saying that Luffy's mind and body are finally able to harness the potential of his ability and that it is a ridiculous power. He also says he has lost a lot in this war, including his men, his castle, and everything he built, and asks whether the same is true for Luffy. Luffy answers that he is not through yet and is taking back everything Kaido stole, no matter what. Kaido attacks with "Gundari Meteor Shower!!" and Luffy is hammered by a barrage of blows, shouting in pain while trying to keep his rubbery body moving. The page restates the stakes of the duel as loss and recovery. Page 4: Smoke from the burning castle reaches the rooftop. Luffy coughs and worries that if the fumes reach that high, the whole castle must have gone up in flames, meaning thousands of Kaido's men are trapped in the inferno below and will roast to death. Kaido says he left everything happening down there to his subordinates, and Luffy answers that he has nothing to worry about other than sending Kaido flying because he left the lower floors to his allies. Kaido then uses "Devastating Gust!!" and Luffy is forced to dodge the slicing wind. The page shows Luffy's trust in the alliance: even with the whole castle burning, his role is to defeat Kaido while others handle the rescue. Page 5: Inside the dome, the live floor is engulfed by fire. Fighters yell, "Put it out!!" and realize it is not just the castle but the towers too that are going up. Nami checks on Chopper, but Chopper says they still have to worry about Zoro, Sanji, Franky, Usopp, Robin, Brook, and Jinbe, who may still be trapped. Zeus warns that a flame this big would eat him up, and others say Onigashima is basically a giant pyre now. Since the island is floating in the sky, there is nowhere to run unless they find a way to land. This page turns the fire into a raid-wide emergency, with even the strongest allies unable to simply fight their way out. Page 6: The fire spreads through the castle basement, first floor, and other levels. People scream that there is no escape and that they are surrounded. Bepo suffers in the heat and the Heart Pirates beg their captain to save them, while injured allies say they may not make it. In the basement, Robin and Brook search for a way outside, but Robin says there may not be one. Everywhere, flames and falling debris cut off routes. The page surveys the disaster level by level, showing that the fire is no longer background damage from the raid. It has become a mass casualty threat for pirates, samurai, and Beast Pirates alike, and the people inside are running out of air, space, and options. Page 7: More groups hit dead ends. In the Pleasure Hall left brain tower, Sanji, Hiyori, and...
