Volume 12

Poker (Poker) is the twelfth volume of the D.Gray-Man manga series.

Summary
As Jasdevi leaves the crumbling room, he is attacked by a mannequin of blood, Krory's new technique. It quickly defeats Jasdevi, but Krory is unable to make it to the next room before it is destroyed. The remaining four members of the group meet Road and Tyki and learn Allen's Innocence may also be the Heart. Tyki fights Allen as Road traps Chaoji and Lenalee and sends Lavi's mind to her dream world. Tyki overpowers Allen and damages his Innocence, which recovers from the damage. Seeing that the Innocence will not be destroyed, Tyki creates a vacuum to destroy Allen's body. Allen pushes his Innocence to surpass 100 percent synchronization, the normal limits of an Innocence and breaks free of the vacuum by materializing the "Sword of Exorcism". Wielding the Sword of Exorcism, Allen destroys the Noah inside Tyki's body. Road, furious that one of her family members has been killed, surrounds her foes with candle-like stakes and begins to destroy Lavi's mind.
