## One Piece Chapter 1041, pages 7-8: Komurasaki - Chapter: 1041 - Pages: 7-8 - Characters: Izo, CP0, Kikunojo, Nico Robin, Five Elders, Whitebeard Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy, Kaido ### Summary Page 7: In the castle basement, Kikunojo lies wounded and tells herself to live on. The scene then jumps to the aftermath of Izo's clash with CP0. Izo and one masked agent have both fallen after exchanging attacks, leaving rubble and smoke around them. The surviving CP0 agent curses, "Damn you, Izo!!" and says taking one of them down was his plan from the start. He questions why a surviving member of the Whitebeard crew would help these upstarts and remembers the mission: "Hurry... get Nico Robin..." Then his den den mushi rings. When he answers, he is told, "Listen. This is a direct order... from the Five Elders." The page shifts CP0 from the Robin mission toward a new, higher-priority command. Page 8: The Five Elders' order is explicit: "You are to eliminate 'Straw Hat' Luffy immediately!!" The surviving CP0 agent is shocked, asking what they are talking about because Straw Hat is in the middle of fighting Kaido. He says they cannot expect him to interfere in that battle and calls it impossible. The voice on the line replies that they are aware of the difficulties, but that the world-class nature of this battle makes it important. Even if CP0 is not privy to every detail, the order says this is a necessary precaution. The agent, battered and panting, realizes he is expected to go down empty-handed if needed, while elsewhere in the basement the castle continues burning and fighters search for a way out.
