## One Piece Chapter 1043, pages 2-4: We Die Together!! - Chapter: 1043 - Pages: 2-4 - Characters: Kaido, CP0, Monkey D. Luffy, Kozuki Momonosuke, Yamato, Kawamatsu, Samurai, Beast Pirates ### Summary Page 2: Kaido stands over the crater and pants while the CP0 agent watches from the side. The agent says nothing, but the situation tells him everything: he has completed the Five Elders' impossible order by interrupting Luffy's final attack. Kaido glares down at the fallen Luffy, then the smoke and Haki around the battlefield begin to settle. Momonosuke suddenly reacts from below, saying, "What?!" as he senses the impossible. He tells Yamato, "Luffy's voice... it's gone...?!" The page shifts the meaning of Luffy's defeat from physical damage to spiritual silence. In the world of Observation Haki and the Voice of All Things, Luffy's voice disappearing reads like death. Page 3: The rooftop battle is formally declared over. A narration box identifies the Skull Dome rooftop battle and announces the victor: "Kaido, 'King of the Beasts.'" Luffy lies motionless in the rubble while Kaido breathes heavily nearby. The CP0 agent stands alone on the roof, and Kaido turns toward him with a grim question: "Do you know what you've done...?" The agent's silence says that he does. Kaido's weapon hangs in the air as the mood becomes more terrifying than celebratory. The page confirms the worst possible outcome for the alliance: Luffy has lost, Kaido is the official winner, and even Kaido himself understands that the victory has been polluted by outside interference. Page 4: Kaido descends through the skull dome with a devastating crash, causing the ceiling and debris to fall. The surviving fighters below shout, "There's no end to it!!" and warn that the ceiling is coming down. The CP0 agent remains inside the castle corridors, silent after carrying out his mission. Kawamatsu is warned to move as rubble rains around him. The page moves the rooftop defeat into the wider raid: Kaido's return is not a distant announcement, but a physical disaster that shakes the whole dome. The alliance had been fighting through fire and collapsing floors already, and now the victorious Emperor is coming down into the same space.
