Shuron Hakke

In the Flower Capital of Wano, the Fire Festival is coming to a close. Revelers tell one another, "You've had way too much!!" and someone says this is the only day of the year he can drink at all. As the festival winds down, people prepare sky lanterns. A child asks whether they will really make the ancestors' wishes come true, and an adult says, "Of course!" One lantern reads "Food for the kids," while another wish says, "I want to see my mom again." The page contrasts the citizens' fragile, hopeful festival with the hidden battle over Onigashima, whose outcome will decide whether their wishes ever reach the sky safely.

Meanwhile, Onigashima continues its approach toward the Flower Capital. Luffy pants on the rooftop while Kaido unexpectedly drinks from a gourd. Luffy shouts, "Why are you drinking?!" Kaido, already enjoying himself, says the capital is celebrating the Fire Festival today and asks whether Luffy wants a swig. He adds that he and his forces were supposed to host a grand banquet on Onigashima, although Luffy has ruined that. Kaido says he is having fun. The page turns the rooftop duel into a warped festival mirror: the people below celebrate to survive their misery, while Kaido drinks in the middle of a death match.

Kaido laughs wildly, and Luffy realizes, "You're totally wasted!!" Luffy warns him not to use drunkenness as an excuse when he loses, but Kaido insists that getting drunk will not weaken him. He says he has already acknowledged Luffy's strength and cannot remember the last time he was challenged to a serious one-on-one fight. Then he launches his technique: "Shuron Hakke!!" Kaido's drunken battle style begins with a laughing drunk phase, and his mood shifts while his body remains terrifyingly fast and strong. The page establishes that Kaido's drinking is not comic relief alone; it becomes another unpredictable weapon in the fight.

Kaido enters his laughing drunk phase and attacks Luffy with "Ragnaraku!!" The blow slams down with enormous force, cracking the ground and sending Luffy reeling. Kaido laughs "Worororo!" as he fights, and Luffy is shocked by the strange rhythm of the drunken attack. Even intoxicated, Kaido's Haki and strength remain monstrous. The page shows that the drunken style does not make him sloppy; instead, it makes his timing harder to read. Luffy has to deal with an opponent whose mood and movements shift violently while every swing still carries Emperor-level power.

Inside the dome on the live floor, the roof cracks from the force of Luffy and Kaido's battle. Fighters shout that first the castle was on fire and now the dome is not stable. Back on the roof, Kaido slips into a sad drunk phase. He says he is enjoying the fight, but the castle and island are half destroyed, and he cannot even protect his lousy castle. He talks about rebuilding and wonders whether it would take around five years. Luffy, annoyed after taking Kaido's blow, snaps, "That hurt, dammit!! You bastard!!" The page shows Kaido's mood lurching from laughter to melancholy without making him any less dangerous.

Luffy tells himself he has to keep his guard up, but Kaido, still hiccuping, says he did his best and maybe it still was not good enough. Then his mood shifts again into a crying drunk phase. Kaido launches "Dragon Demolition Twister!!" and sends slicing wind attacks tearing across the battlefield. Luffy is hit and pushed back, while Kaido cries, "Waaaah!! You damn brat!! Get away!!" The page presents Shuron Hakke as a sequence of unstable emotional states: sad, crying, laughing, and violent, each one changing Kaido's rhythm and forcing Luffy to respond without any reliable pattern.

Kaido continues the crying drunk phase, shouting that this is what Luffy gets when he will not back off. Luffy tells him not to get ahead of himself, but Kaido's club and dragon body keep hammering him. Kaido then shifts again, swinging with thunderous force while Luffy is knocked across the rooftop. Luffy takes the hit, calls him a drunk, and fires back with his own Haki-coated attack. The wide page is a rough, chaotic exchange full of impacts, grunts, and sudden mood turns. Luffy is being battered, but he is also landing hits and refusing to let Kaido's drunken unpredictability control the fight.

Kaido and Luffy continue trading blows at close range. Kaido's huge dragon form twists around Luffy while Luffy dodges, gets struck, and repositions. The panels are mostly motion and impact, showing Luffy being forced to move around Kaido's tail, club, and serpentine body. Kaido's laughter and crying have faded into raw pressure, but the drunken rhythm still makes his attacks difficult to predict. Luffy keeps his eyes on Kaido, bracing through the impacts and looking for a way to force the duel back into his own tempo.

Luffy and Kaido clash hard enough to split the sky again with their Haki. Kaido knocks Luffy back, but then realizes that Luffy's Haki is getting stronger. He says Luffy was just starting to hit that good buzz, and complains, "Why'd you have to sober me up, you brat!!" Kaido enters an angry drunk phase, furious that Luffy's growing strength has dragged him out of his drunken rhythm. The page marks a major escalation: Luffy is no longer merely surviving Kaido's drunken style. His Haki is rising in the middle of the duel, forcing Kaido to take him even more seriously.

Luffy launches "Gomu Gomu no... Roc... Gatling!!" and drives a barrage of massive Haki-coated fists into Kaido. Kaido counters with "Gundari Meteor Shower," swinging his kanabo in a whirling storm of club strikes. The two attacks collide across the rooftop, filling the wide page with fists, spikes, and impact bursts. A note identifies "Gundari" as a reference to a Wisdom King, and "Meteor Shower" as another named part of the technique. The exchange shows both fighters pushing past exhaustion: Luffy's rapid punches meet Kaido's overwhelming club storm, and neither side gives ground easily.

The clash between Luffy's Roc Gatling and Kaido's Gundari Meteor Shower continues at brutal range. Luffy and Kaido smash through each other's attacks, screaming as the impacts pile up. The rooftop shakes from the repeated collisions, and both fighters keep swinging despite the punishment. Kaido's dragon body, club, and Haki press down on Luffy, but Luffy stays in the exchange and keeps driving his fists forward. The page functions as the second half of the attack sequence, emphasizing the sustained force of the duel rather than a single finishing blow.

The fight reaches another heavy impact as Luffy lands a strong blow on Kaido, making the Emperor scream. Kaido's face twists from the hit while Luffy follows through. The paneling slows just enough to show that Luffy is still damaging Kaido, even after the intense exchange of named techniques. Both are battered, but Luffy's Haki and persistence keep forcing Kaido to react. This page closes the rooftop sequence on the physical proof that Luffy can hurt Kaido in a direct duel, not merely endure his attacks.

The scene shifts to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise on the Red Line. One of the Five Elders says it is as if this year's Reverie was cursed, while another says they should put what happened aside for now because Wano is the more pressing issue. They say there was no way of knowing the battle would go this far and that Nico Robin must have been apprehended by now, so it is time to act. One Elder says it would not be out of place for someone to die unexpectedly during a war involving Kaido and Big Mom, making this their chance to erase that nuisance. At the seas around Wano, World Government ships stand by and report that something is wrong.

The World Government ships around Wano spot a giant shadow. A lookout says there is a huge shape ahead, but when asked what it is, he can only say, "No idea... An island?" Back in Mary Geoise, the Five Elders discuss a Devil Fruit that should be nothing but a legend even to them. They say it has not awakened for centuries, and ask how else to explain the World Government giving one specific Devil Fruit a unique name. One of them says they were hiding the fruit's true name from the annals of history. The final image reveals Zunesha rising behind the government fleet, linking the mysterious fruit conversation to Wano's sudden ancient presence.
