The chapter cover displays the One Piece logo above the title CHAPTER 1014: A LIFELONG HAM ACTOR. In the main illustration, Trafalgar Law sits cross-legged on a cushion in a traditional room, arms raised behind his head with a serious expression. He wears a black t-shirt reading HUNTER. Behind him, a large folding screen depicts a fierce Byobu tiger lunging forward. A book titled HOW TO CATCH A BYOBU TIGER lies open in the foreground. A small caption box reads: COVER REQUEST BY TAKASHI: "LAW GATHERING HIS WITS IN FRONT OF A BYOBU FOLDING SCREEN DEPICTING A TIGER". Side text notes the cover is inspired by a Japanese folktale about Ikkyu-san. The artist credit reads EIICHIRO ODA.

High above the stormy skies, a massive chunk of Onigashima floats, its rocky underside crumbling. A voice declares, "YOU MANAGED TO COAT YOUR BLOWS WITH CONQUEROR'S HAKI..." Impact sounds "ゴゴゴ" echo. Below, a horned figure in a dark coat stands on a rocky peak and shouts, "...LEFT A LOT TO BE DESIRED!! BUT YOUR TECHNIQUE..." A small panel shows the figure plummeting through the air amid debris. In the lower section, the same figure tumbles wildly as another voice yells, "WORORO RORO!!" A close-up reveals a shocked face with wide eyes asking, "WHAT WAS IT AGAINI 'GOMU GOMU NO...'I" Rocks and clouds streak past as the battle rages.

A massive splash erupts as something crashes into the water with the sound "ザブォーン!!" Kaido's face looms large, grinning fiercely as he says, "SEEMS LIKE YOU......COULDN'T BE JOY BOY EITHER." In rapid panels, a close-up shows a determined face shouting, "I HAVE LOCATED... MOMONOSUKE!!" Kaido calls out, "KAIDO-SAMA!!" while clutching his kanabo as rings appear with "RING RING~ CLACK RING!!" Bao Huang reports, "ANNOUNCE THE OUTCOME OF MY BATTLE THROUGHOUT ONIGASHIMA." Kaido orders, "BAO HUANG!" and the reply comes, "YES, SIR!!...I'M ON MY WAY."

Inside the castle, alarms ring out as figures react in panic. "SOMETHING'S WRONG..." one shouts. "...OPENLY CARRYING MOMONOSUKE!!" another cries. "YOUNG MASTER YAMATO HAS BEEN SPOTTED..." a voice reports while smoke and debris fill the third floor. A sign reads "CASTLE INTERIOR - 3RD FLOOR". On the first floor attic, a frog-like sound "RIBBIT..." echoes. Yamato bursts forward in a dramatic pose, declaring "I AM ODEN!!" and "THAT'S RIGHT! I'M NOT A PRISONER ANYMORE!!" as enemies are sent flying. A shocked voice yells "WHATI!". Below, a bandaged figure with a headband glares fiercely, exclaiming "...I CANNOT AFFORD TO DIE!!" while another replies "IT SEEMS...". In a distant corridor, a voice calls "YESI" and "SHINOBU..." as a small figure stands amid hanging chains.

Chaos erupts as a long-nosed man in a hat stumbles back shouting "HUHI! WHAT NOWI!" while others yell "WHO ARE YOUI!" "WHAT IS THISI!" "AHH!!" and "WHAT ARE YOU SAYINGI! OF COURSE YOU CAN'T--". In the Skull Dome live floor, a massive serpent-like creature rampages, roaring "WHOAA!!" as fighters clash. A voice commands "GET HIM, CHOPPER-EMON-SAN!!" while the beast bellows "AAARRRGGHH!!" and debris flies everywhere. Chopper in a transformed state battles amid the destruction.

Queen laughs "MUHAHAHA! WHAT'S THE MATTER, TANUKII! YOU'RE PRETTY SHORT OF BREATH FOR SOMEONE WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE WINNING!!" as Perospero wheezes "WEEZ... WEEZ...". An opponent taunts "HAHA! QUEEN, YOU BASTARD! SERVES YOU RIGHT!!" while another grunts "YOWCH!". Perospero mutters "SHURORORO, THAT WON'T DO!" and reflects "MY GIGANTIFICATION MAY LAST LONGER NOW, BUT I HAVE LESS THAN 10 MINUTES LEFT... NONE OF MY ATTACKS ARE WORKING ON HIM!! DAMMIT!!". He threatens "LET'S SEE HOW LONG YOU CAN KEEP THAT UP, PERORIN~" with "KUKUKU!!". A figure questions "RUMBLE BALL"I! YOU CALL THIS A FORMULAI" as Queen grins widely, replying "SURE, THERE WILL BE SOME ADDED RISKS INVOLVED... BUT YOU'RE NOT SCARED, ARE YOUI" and "YOU SHOULD JUST LET ME DESIGN THE DRUG INSTEAD! IF YOU GATHER THE INGREDIENTS, I'M SURE WE CAN INCREASE THE TIME LIMIT OF YOUR TRANSFORMATION TO 30 MINUTES!!". A small figure on a ship asks "THEN WHATI! ARE YOU REALLY THAT DELICATEI! I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE A PIRATE!!".

Explosions rock the area as a massive creature smashes through structures with "BLACK COFFEE!!" and impact sounds "ビ!!" "オ". A fan labeled "KANJI ON FAN: WIND" spins wildly. A masked figure shouts "LANDS!!" while another yells "TAKE COVER!!" as candy arrows rain down with "ARGHH!! HE'S GONNA RAIN DOWN CANDY ARROWS AGAIN!!" and "KUKU KUKU--!!". Multiple "CLACK" sounds echo as small creatures activate with "SCATTER MODE!!" and "MARYS!!" while a horned figure in a mask commands them.

Beast Pirates announce Kaido's arrival to oversee the clean-up while Linlin's massive hole remains. They taunt the defeated rebels: "WHO WANTS TO BE NEXT!I DO ANY OF YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKESI!" and "THE KOZUKI SAMURAI AND YOUR CAPTAIN HAVE FAILED!!" News spreads across Onigashima that "STRAW HAT" LUFFY, the rebel with the highest bounty, has been defeated. A messenger declares surrender will be graciously accepted. Kin'emon and the others react in shock. Luffy's crew and allies shout back: "WAAAH!!! BIG BRO LUFFY~!!" "LIKE I CARE ABOUT THAT MORON!" "MAAAMA-MAMA! DO YOU HEAR THATI!" One figure snaps, "SCREW THAT!!" A samurai warns, "YOUR LIFE WILL BE SPARED, AND YOU WILL BE WELCOMED INTO THE FOLD!!" Elsewhere, a massive impact sends a figure flying as someone yells, "LUFFY-TARO-SANI!" and "WHATI! LUFFYI! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!" A voice notes, "AFTER 'STRAW HAT' LUFFY..." while another asks, "WHAT WAS THATI!" A final panel shows a corpse dropped into the sea with the line, "...WAS SLAUGHTERED BY KAIDO-SAMA."

A cloaked figure declares, "YOU ARE FIGHTING A LOSING BATTLE!!" while a sign reads "1ST FLOOR - PASSAGE LEADING UP TO THE ATTIC" and states "IT IS HIGH TIME WANO SUBMITTED!!" Below, a Mary reports, "THIS IS ONE OF THOSE 'MARYS,' RIGHTI IF IT'S HERE, THAT MEANS..." as allies cry, "MOMO-NOSUKE-SAMA!" "STRAW HAT" LUFFY HAS..." "THE VICTOR HAS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED!!" Panic erupts: "THIS IS BAD!! MOMO-NOSUKE-SAMA!! MOMO-NOSUKE-SAMA!!!" In a lower room, someone yells, "HEY, MOMO-NOSUKE!! IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!!" as Kin'emon grabs a frog-like creature and shouts, "WE NEED TO DEAL WITH THIS FROG! HUFF, HUFF... TELL EVERYONE... HUFF, HUFF... KIN'EMON... YOU HAVE TO..." Momonosuke demands, "MOMONOSUKE-SAMA, WHAT HAPPENEDI!"

Momonosuke cries out, "FATHER FA......I!!" as a towering figure in a hat appears, shouting "ODEN-SAMAI!" Shinobu reacts in horror: "IT CAN'T BE...!!!" The impostor grins, "SHINOBU, IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU!!" Kiku screams, "STAND BACK, SHINOBU!! HE'S A FRAUD!!" while the fake Oden laughs, "ENOUGH ALREADY!!" Kiku yells, "WHATI! FATHER!!" and "IT'S NOT HIM!!" The impostor taunts, "IS SOMETHING WRONG, KIKUI YOU SEEM ANGRYI!" and attacks with a massive swing, declaring, "...TO PULL THIS SICK FARCE AGAINI! HOW DARE YOU ATTEMPT..."

Kiku shouts, "STOP CALLING ME THAT WHILE WEARING HIS FACE, KANJURO!!" The impostor Kanjuro retorts, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, KIKUI!" and continues, "EVEN THE SHARPEST SWORD BECOMES DULL WHEN POINTED AT A FRIEND... AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO ASHURA-SAN..." Flashbacks show young Kiku and Izo with their parents. Kanjuro demands, "WHERE ARE YOUR PARENTSI I TOOK YOU AND IZO IN, REMEMBERI" Kiku cries, "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!" as she clashes swords with him, yelling, "HOW COULD YOU RAISE A SWORD AGAINST MEI!" Kanjuro swings violently while Kiku blocks desperately amid impact lines and debris.

Kin'emon, bloodied and gasping, raises his sword and shouts at the armored figure, "TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY! YOU GAVE ME A FATAL WOUND EARLIER, AFTER ALL!!" The armored warrior staggers, muttering "WEEZ... WEEZ..." while thinking, "I COULDN'T BRING MYSELF TO CUT HIM..." Kin'emon's face twists in anguish as he cries, "KIN-SAMA, I..." Nearby, Kiku screams in horror, "WAHHH! KANJURO!!" and "KIKU!!" as the armored Kanjuro looms over her. Kin'emon lunges desperately, yelling "KIKU!!" and "KIN-SAMA..." while grappling with the armored Kanjuro in a violent clash of blades and bodies.

In a flurry of flashbacks and present chaos, Kin'emon fights the armored Kanjuro. Kanjuro, bloodied, asks "...KINI" and declares, "WILL STILL SHINE IN THE AFTERLIFE, WANO'S DAWN... RIGHTI" while gasping "FORGIVE ME... THE LINGERING SNOW IS FINALLY MELTING, HUFF" and "WHAT ARE YOU SAYINGI" Kin'emon roars "KANJURO!!" and "GU AHH!" as he strikes. Flashbacks show Oden laughing "WAHA-HAHA!" and others reacting with "KAKAKA..." and "GOOD..." Kanjuro continues his performance, saying "AFTER ALL, WHILE I WAS PERFORMING ON STAGE... YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND!!" Explosions and screams erupt around them as the massive clash continues with impact effects and debris.

Kin'emon screams "KIN'EMON!!!" as a massive dragon-like form crashes through the air. Shinobu yells "SHINOBU, TAKE MOMONOSUKE-SAMA AND RUN!! UNDERSTOOD!!" while Kaido appears in dragon form, roaring amid destruction. A small character shouts "KAIDO!!" in terror. The narration box reads "ONIGAHSIMA LOOMS OVER THE SKIES OF MAINLAND WANO..." and "MOMENT BY MOMENT..." The page ends with the chapter footer "ONE PIECE CH.1014 /END" and "NO BREAK NEXT WEEK" as the battle rages with massive impacts and flying debris.

CHAPTER NOTES: The reference from the Cover Page with Law is based on a famous story about Ikkyu-san, a Zen Buddhist monk in the 14-15th century. His mischievous childhood exploits, outwitting adults during his stay at Anokoku-ji temple, have been retold countless times in folklore. Toei animation produced a hit Anime series based on these legends between 1975 and 1982. This show popularized the image of Ikkyu-san planning while in lotus position with his index fingers on his head. One of the most famous tales involves a Lord trying to test the boy by claiming he needed help taming a tiger that would sneak out of a byobu folding screen. This lie fails as Ikkyu-san is able to make the lord admit it is impossible for the tiger to get out of the painting. Law was probably chosen for this request because he is known for his planning and his nickname トラ = "tora" is Japanese for tiger. Includes images of Ikkyu-san anime, manga, and byobu tiger screens.
