Chapter 1043: "We will die together."
- Cover: Oven arrives at Whole Cake Island.
- Narrator: Kaido winner.
- The CP0 agent gets trampled.
- The CP0 agent has a farewell scene but you cannot tell he's dead, although the scene implies he is.
- Kawamatsu asks the samurai to escape, there is no honor if you burn to death.
- Kaido arrives inside the castle and says that Luffy is dead. He also says that Momo has to give up.
- Kid and Law feel that Luffy lost and go to fight.
- Nami calls Kaido a snake and a liar. Kaido attacks Nami but Marco defends her.
- Kaido will fight until Momo gives up.
- Nekomamushi and Carrot also go to fight.
- Momo wants to give up and not let anyone die but Yamato tells her no.
- Yamato: Let's die together!
- Things then switch to Zunesha who says something to Momo.
- Zunesha: I heard it, I heard that sound that I didn't hear in 800 years
- Momo: what did you hear?
- Zunesha: the drums of liberation, there is no doubt, he is here!
- Momo: who??
- Zunesha: Joyboy... has come back!!!
- In a crazy panel, Luffy's body melts and his Strawhat does as well, something happens to him (image below).
- The SFX bubble next to Luffy says "Nika!" にか!Nika means "grin" but the use of にか (Nika) to replace the usual "grin" SFX for Luffy heavily confirms the Luffy/Nika/sun/dawn parallelism.
- "Niko" is the normal kind of smile, "Nika" is used more deviously, scheming, something up one's sleeve.
- The comment of the editor is "that man laughed silently."
- The name of the fruit isn't mentioned in the chapter.
Leaked panel:
- The bubble on the right is Zunesha saying that "JoyBoy... has come back!!!"
- The bubble on the left is an SFX saying Nika, as mentioned above it means "grin" but the katakana implies it's sun god Nika.
- кайдо вин, тут все понятно
- что там за драма такая с сипи, будем рыдать как с самураями?

- лолкак опять сражаются с закончившейся энергией, ахуенно

- крайдо собрался драться, пока момо не сдастся. ну или пока джойбой не прибежит давать ему люлей
- лолкак, нами, марко, неко, кэррот - все будут пиздиться с какайдо. мертвый луффи соло, конечно

- ника плавится, а зунеша впервые за 800 лет слышит барабаны джойбоя. т.е. остальные реинкарнации джойбоя таки не позволялся ему пробудиться. тот же роджер тащил на своей скиллухе и стал королем пиратов. луффарь же слился и теперь кп будет становится джойбой. великолепно
