Readable English promotional text includes "Leaping into battle! They shoulder the dreams of their predecessors!!" and "The climax of the Wano arc!! Raid on Onigashima!!" It is magazine front matter rather than chapter narrative, but it is One Piece promotional material tied to the release, so it is kept as useful extra material. Page 1: A color spread promotes the volume 101 magazine cover and color spread, with Zoro at the center and several sword-related figures around him. Readable English says, "Volume 101 on sale December 3rd!! Volumes 99-101 have connecting covers!!" and "Magazine cover & color spread!!" Visible figures include Zoro, Silvers Rayleigh, Kozuki Oden, King, Charlotte Katakuri, Sanji, Killer, Denjiro, and a small bear-like mascot. This is official color art and release promotion, not direct chapter narrative, so it is useful extra material. Page 2: After the crash from Kid and Law's awakened attacks, bystanders say Big Mom was crushed by the steel beams and wonder whether even she could survive that. The chapter title appears as "Chapter 1031: Soldier of Science." Kid and Law pant from the effort while Kid mocks Big Mom, saying, "Take that... you giant hag!!" The page opens on the aftermath of their combined attack, but the rubble begins to shift almost immediately, making it clear that the Emperor is not finished. Page 3: Law asks Kid how long his magnetic-magnetic fruit's awakened power lasts, since it lets him assign fields of attraction. Kid refuses to answer, asking, "Why the hell would I tell you?" The metal beams and debris around Big Mom begin moving again, and people gasp as she rises. Everyone realizes, "Whaaaaaat?! She's getting uuuuup!!!" Big Mom's body has been buried beneath steel and rubble, but the metal is being drawn into her control rather than keeping her down. Page 4: Big Mom rises from the wreckage and demands, "Life?! Or... Oshiruko?!" The terrified soldiers realize she is using her soul pocus and ask whether she is going to take their lives, insisting they dumped the soup and still have some left. Big Mom surges upward with her power, drawing life from those around her. The page shows that she is not merely recovering from Kid and Law's attack; she is turning the fear around her into fuel. Page 5: Big Mom commands, "Come to life!!" and uses one year of her own lifespan too, saying none of the riff-raff around her have powerful enough souls. She grows even larger, and her homies and the surrounding metal respond. Onlookers cry that she has gotten even bigger. She says it has been decades since she felt pain like this, calls Kid and Law "not bad," and tells Trafalgar Law and Captain Kid that the two of them and Straw Hat Luffy are serious about taking her throne. Law says he will need to take down monsters like her if he wants to uncover the true history, while Kid declares he does not care what it costs because he will tear her from that throne. Page 6: Big Mom's enlarged form throws the battlefield into panic. Fighters shout that she is huge, that the castle has become an inferno, and that they are in hell. Yamato races through the chaos toward the Iwato Chamber, noting that there are too many grunts out front and that he will have to go through that chamber. At the entrance, Scratchmen Apoo blocks the way and tells Yamato to hold up, saying, "I said cool it!! Are you for real?!" The page brings Yamato's mission toward the armory into contact with Apoo's opportunistic plotting. Page 7: Apoo tries to attack Yamato with "Scratch... Boom!!" and says he has figured out how Yamato's attacks work. He claims he will repay Straw Hat by finishing Yamato off. Drake explains the truth: Apoo's techniques seem random at a glance, but they follow a line of sight and the target only needs to hear him. Apoo protests that Drake is giving the game away and says he has three Numbers backing him up anyway. Yamato is caught between Apoo's sound attacks, Drake's warning, and the need to keep moving toward the armory. Page 8: Yamato sees Drake and Apoo and asks why one of the Flying Six is with an informant. Apoo tells Yamato that trying to win Drake over was a bust and that it is time to switch gears: Yamato is against Kaido, so Apoo wants to recruit him instead. Yamato says he has no time for this and tells Apoo that he cut ties with Kaido, so he is not on Apoo's side. Drake also says he has abandoned Kaido...
