The chapter also gives a dramatic spotlight to the Roger Pirates. Roger pretends to have his hands full fighting Whitebeard, then orders Rayleigh to save Shakky.
The final double-page spread shows Rayleigh arriving just in time, taking down Sommers with a new technique — Billhook of the Beyond (Higanbana) — in a pose reminiscent of Zoro’s Onigiri. He then offers his hand to Shakky, who breaks down in tears before hugging him. Roger and Gaban are hilariously shown crying out of both joy and jealousy.
The chapter ends with Roger rallying his crew:
“Boys! We have Shakky back! Let’s grab the treasure and get out of this place!”
No break next week — meaning more chaos is coming soon.
