Chapter 943

Chapter 943 is titled "SMILE"

Short Summary
As Toko and the Ebisu Town citizens laugh at Yasuie's death, the Straw Hat Pirates learn that only one in ten SMILE fruits cause animal transformation; the other fruits only make their eaters incapable of expressing negative emotions. Orochi took the remnants of the defective fruits and mixed them in with the wealthy citizens' leftovers, causing citizens of leftover towns like Ebisu to consume them. Orochi tries to shoot Toko as he charges toward the execution stand, but both Zoro and Sanji stop the bullets and confront him.
