PH[FULL SUMMARY]
CHAPTER 1,057: “FINALE”.
Germa 66's Ahh... Emotionless Excursion, Vol. 16 "Caesar's poison gas attack!!"
Chapter begins in an auditorium in the Flower Capital. We see dozens of citizens sitting in front of a stage, listening a story that the new Wanokuni teacher (the man with black hair and glasses that we saw in chapter 1,052) is telling. The teacher is next to a geisha who plays the shamisen.
The teacher is telling the story as a japanese poem. He says that under the dark sky of Onigashima the storm thrives, the beast's roar grows louder and the Azura Dragon's voice thunders. The rain falls at the Habu port, bathing the autumn leaves. He ends saying that, in order to avenge Kouzuki Oden's death, his loyal vassals take the stage.
People shouts excitedly "Red Scabbards!!". The teacher says he hasn't a great verbal talent, but he asks people to allow him the honor of telling this story. A story that starts at the evening of the "Fire Festival".
Cut to a forest near Tokage Port in Udon. We see Momonosuke running in dragon form, on top of him are Kinemon and Yamato. Momonosuke and Kinemon are surprised at Yamato's words.
Momonosuke: "What!? You're not going out to the sea!? Yamato!!"
Yamato: "I'm not going. I've already told Luffy and his crew!!"
Momonosuke is surprised by Yamato's decision and wonders if Yamato is afraid of something, but he quickly says that can't be the case, because Yamato had already made up his mind.
Yamato: "Yes, that's my decision... Oden started his journey by traveling all over this country, right? I don't know anything about the outside world either!! So I will follow Oden's same path... and one day I will go out to the sea!!"
Momonosuke gets even angrier when listening to Yamato, because he realizes that Luffy and Yamato talked about all these things but Luffy didn't say goodbye to him. Momonosuke feels that Luffy treated him like a fool and wonders why Luffy is going to leave the country without saying anything.
Momonosuke remembers some things of what he has been living since his father died. All are scenes that we have already saw in the Manga.
- The moment when Kaidou grabbed him by the neck on top of Oden's castle (chapter 973). - The moment when he met Luffy (chapter 685) and when he fought against Luffy in Dressrosa (chapter 701). - The moment when they create their alliance in Zou (chapter 819). - The moment when Kanjuurou kidnapped him (chapter 976) and when he said his name in front of Kaidou in Onigashima (chapter 986). - And the moment when Luffy asked him to stop Onigashima after fighting Kaidou with his ãdül† body (chapter 1,026).
Back to the present. After all these memories, Momonosuke wonders if Luffy has a heart. Then he says Luffy is a cruel man and that he was wrong about him becouse he thought Luffy was different. Momonosuke says that Luffy has mistaken rudeness for freedom. Kinemon agrees with him, but asks Momonosuke why he's running instead of flying. Momonosuke tells him to shut up.
Kinemon is also very angry and says that he wants to see Luffy's explanation for treating the Shogun like this. Momonosuke says that he thought Luffy and he were friends. Yamato says they shouldn't be so angry. Momonosuke says Luffy embarrassed him. Luffy did something unforgivable, so Momonosuke is going to hit and bite him when he catches Luffy.
Cut to Tokage Port in Udon. Luffy, Law and Kid's ships are ready to go. Law tells Luffy that the next time they meet they will be enemies, and he may even go for their lives. Luffy says there's no problem. Chopper says goodbye to Law.
Chopper: "Goodbye Torao"
Law: "Shut up."
Chopper: "Eh"
Just before leaving, Momonosuke reaches the coast. He changes to his human form and charges at Luffy along with Yamato.
Momonosuke: "You!!! Hah. Hah"
Yamato: "We are here to see you off!!"
Luffy: "Momonosuke Kinemon!!"
Sanji: "Yamato-chan"
Momonosuke: "Urgh!! Luffy!!! I finally got you!!!"
Yamato: "Luffy"
Luffy: Woah!!"
Kinemon draws his sword. He tells Luffy what was he thinking to leave Wanokuni without saying goodbye to them after all the time they've been together. He adds the Shogun is furious and wants an explanation. Luffy says it's OK, becouse they're talking now.
Momonosuke glares at Luffy and orders something as the Shogun. Then he cries uncontrollably.
Momonosuke: "Please don't leave!!! I'll be so lonely!!! Stay with us forever~!!! Don't leave me!!! Thanks to you... WE SURVIVED!! Thanks to you... now we are able to smile!!! Thank you for helping me avenge my parents!! I'm an idiot, so I can't put it into words...!! I'm scared... of what the future holds!! So please!! Don't go!!"
Robin, Sanji and Brook look at Momonosuke smiling, Chopper is moved and Franky cries like Momonosuke. Zoro laughs and says Momo is a bit embarrassing. Nami is moved too and tells Zoro they can't blame him, becouse Momo-chan is still a child.
Luffy asks Usopp for something, he already has it ready. Luffy gives the present to Momonosuke.
Luffy: "We've been waiting for you here because I wanted to give you this!! What is this attitude for a "Shogun", Momo!! We all know how you are, even if you suddenly become big and strong!! You're an idiot and a coward... but you are like a little brother to me!!"
Momonosuke opens the gift and realizes that it's a very large Straw Hat Pirates' flag. Luffy keeps talking.
Luffy: "When you are in a difficult situation, remember your days of adventures in the sea!! Put this somewhere in Wanokuni!! If in the future some dangerous guy arrive, show them this!! Tell them that if they lay a hand on one of you, it means they want a fight with us!!!"
As Luffy says this, we see Luffy close-up with all of his nakamas on the Sunny behind him. Momonosuke cries again as he looks at Luffy.
Momonosuke: "So...I am one of you!?".
Luffy: "Kinemon!! Yamato!! Momo!! I will come for any of you if you ever decide that you wanna be a pìrâ†é!! But I don't accept cowards!! I leave everything in your hands now, Yamato!!"
Yamato: "Sure!!"
Kinemon laughs listening to Luffy, Yamato is very excited with Luffy's words and Momonosuke thanks Luffy for his words.
Luffy orders to set off, the rest of the crew say goodbye to Momonosuke. As they watch Straw Hat crew leaves, Momonosuke tells Kinemon he will surpass Kouzuki Oden one day. Kinemon tells him that he shalls witness it happens.
Yamato asks Momonosuke if he's talking of surpassing him, Momonosuke says "No!!" angrily.
NO BREAK
