## One Piece Chapter 1015, pages 9-10: Chained - Chapter: 1015 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Kin'emon, Momonosuke, Shinobu, Kaido, Mary ### Summary Page 9: Kin'emon remembers a tender moment with the young Momonosuke. Momo once asked him, "I'm to call you father?" and Kin'emon answered, "Yes. We must hide your relation to Oden-sama!!" In the present, Momonosuke cries out, "Father!! Stop saying 'sama'!!" while Shinobu shouts, "Hey, Momonosuke...-sama!!" Kin'emon, remembering the role they played together, laughs in the memory, "Wahaha! Maybe we should switch roles?!" and tells the boy, "Pull yourself together, K... father!!" Now, however, Kaido stands over the wounded Kin'emon and asks, "What's the point in buying time? What's the point in trying to run?" Kin'emon, bleeding and exhausted, calls, "Momonosuke!!" while Momo screams back, "Father!!" The page shows why Kin'emon's sacrifice matters. The disguise of father and son began as a strategy, but over the long journey it became emotionally real enough for both of them to cling to it at the end. Page 10: Kin'emon begs Shinobu to keep moving: "Please escape, Momonosuke-sama!!" and "Keep running, Shinobu!!" Momonosuke wails "Waaah!!" as Shinobu carries him away through the castle. Kaido looks down at Kin'emon and says, "It's not easy... but sometimes you have to accept defeat." Then he drives his weapon down with a brutal "Stab!!" Kin'emon's silhouetted body jerks in the impact while Kaido completes the lesson: "Embrace your honorable death like a true samurai!!" At the edge of the room, a Mary frog sits with its eye-marked mask and says, "Ribbit." The page is cold and ceremonial. Kaido is not simply trying to kill Kin'emon; he is trying to define the death as submission, forcing the samurai's last stand into his own language of defeat. The presence of the Mary nearby also gives Momonosuke a means to turn the moment into a message instead.
