Chapter 983

Riding a candy mount up the waterfall, Perospero heads toward Onigashima on his own, convinced his crew will be the last standing over the Beasts Pirates alliance. In the brothel, Prometheus summons Big Mom back, and she spawns homies as she gives chase to Shinobu, Carrot, and Nami in a bid to take Zeus back. As Orochi strings Momonosuke up and Zoro and Kid press their fights, Luffy squares off against the pair Ulti and Page One. Ulti catches Luffy in her dinosaur shape and readies a finishing blow, only for Yamato to fell her, seize Luffy, and flee, having awaited the pirate's arrival.

Usopp and Chopper get away from Big Mom solely because she turns instead to hunt Nami, and they keep moving using the General Franky leg parts their tank triggered. Ulti drives an Ul-Zugan headbutt at Luffy, who answers with his own, and both then shift into hybrid forms, exposing that she ate the Pachycephalosaurus-model Devil Fruit. Luffy grips her by the horns and slams her down, then smashes Page One into the ceiling, sensing an approach just as Yamato knocks Ulti cold with Raimei Hakke, the very technique Kaidou once used to beat Luffy. Yamato hauls Luffy away, promising no harm and naming himself as Kaidou's son.

The chapter confirms that Ulti commands both Armament and Observation Haki and ate the Pachycephalosaurus fruit, while Page One wields Observation Haki. Big Mom turns several brothel objects into homies, and Yamato debuts here, rescuing Luffy. On the cover, the Fire Tank Pirates together with Lola and Chiffon come across Pound at Dressrosa. It is part of the Wano Country arc.
