## One Piece Chapter 1016, pages 3-4: This is Otama!! - Chapter: 1016 - Pages: 3-4 - Characters: Otoko, Tenguyama Hitetsu, Onigashima, CP0 agents, Queen, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 3: Otoko keeps laughing and says, "I hope... that daddy can see it!" With the sky clear, Tenguyama Hitetsu says, "I'm certain he can!" He adds that Yasuie is probably watching over them intently, "determined to see what becomes of you and the future of this country." The festival smoke and fire rise upward through the Flower Capital while the crowd continues to sing. Above that peaceful scene, Onigashima drifts closer, its horned skull shape emerging from dark clouds with heavy rumbling sounds. The island's huge silhouette and trailing clouds cut against the sky like a silent disaster. The contrast is cruel: below, the capital honors the dead and hopes the heavens are watching; above, Kaido's fortress carries the war and its danger directly toward the people who are still celebrating. Page 4: Inside the castle at the visitors' reception, the masked CP0 agents continue tracking the battle as if it were a board game. One says, "They refuse to surrender... despite the loss of 'Straw Hat' Luffy?" and another answers, "That's right, so far..." Around them the castle shakes with distant battle sounds. They report that an additional 5,000 soldiers have been incapacitated, meaning the forces on each side should now stand at 24,000 versus 3,000. But the board has changed again: the pleasures and waiters on the live floor have turned against Queen-sama. When they account for those 4,000 men switching sides, the totals become 20,000 versus 7,000. The black and white stones on the board make the war look coldly numerical, but the update also shows that Otama's earlier dango strategy and the live floor rebellion have seriously narrowed Kaido's manpower advantage.
