## One Piece Chapter 943, pages 3-5: SMILE - Chapter: 943 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Shimotsuki Yasuie, Kozuki Oden, Raizo, Shinobu, Kawamatsu, Kin'emon, O-Toko, Roronoa Zoro, Kurozumi Orochi, Kozuki Hiyori ### Summary Page 3: Yasuie declared that Oden would one day be shogun of Wano and that none but the best samurai should stand at his side. He told the retainers that they must not only protect their lord, but the capital itself, because eventually the country would rest in their hands. In the present, those words strike the surviving allies as they watch him die. The guardian deities of Wano hear him; Raizo, Shinobu, Kawamatsu, and others all understand that the man on the platform is still carrying Oden's future on his shoulders. They call out, "Lord Yasuie!" Page 4: At Rasetsu Town prison house in the Flower Capital, Yasuie is dead, yet laughter spreads through the crowd. People mock that Yasu is dead and order the fools from Ebisu kicked out. Others are horrified, saying Lord Yasuie was just killed and the idiots are laughing. One man calls it Shogun Orochi's gravest sin. O-Toko cries for her father while her face laughs helplessly. Zoro watches the grotesque scene, and the laughter around a public execution becomes more disturbing than the death itself. Page 5: Yasuie's body lies before the prison, and Hiyori explains the cruelty behind the laughter. The people are trapped in misery yet prevented from truly expressing it. O-Toko sobs, "Zorojuro, please... If this is not hell, then... what is?" Zoro realizes the truth: SMILE is not just a synthetic Devil Fruit. Orochi, riding nearby, laughs that Yasuie's end is fitting and calls him a hedge-rat, delighted that someone he hated still spent his final moments in Wano. The grief of Ebisu is being twisted into a joke before everyone.
