After a few hours of anticipation, One Piece episode 1039 finally arrived, and it did not disappoint, shifting the tables once more in favour of the Straw Hat pirates. Despite Luffy and Zoro, the Straw Hats’ two most formidable characters, being injured and unable to fight at the moment, the alliance continues to expand. Learn what happened in One Piece episode 1039 and what to look forward to in the future episode by reading this article.
Warning: The following article includes One Piece anime spoilers. The Gifters flip allegiances, Sanji faces off against Queen, and more in One Piece episode 1039.
The Gifted change their loyalties
The events of Episode 1038 of One Piece continue directly into Episode 1039, titled A Dramatic Increase of Allies! Straw Hats Fight Back! At the start of the episode, Otama orders the Gifters to join Luffy and Momonosuke’s team. Almost instantly, the Straw Hats are joined by Hamlet, Poker, Speed, and others. Now that Otama has the Gifters under his command, the tide of battle has turned in favour of the Straw Hats. The episode also demonstrates how a mass defection might alter a war’s trajectory.
It’s Sanji vs the Queen
The Gifter army revolts in One Piece episode 1039 because of something Otama did, and Queen is so angry that he tries to assault Nami, Usopp, and Otama as they celebrate. Lucky for us, Sanji is there to deliver a Collier Strike. When Queen calls him “the son of Judge” (presumably the son of Vinsmoke Judge) and later discloses that she was once a member of the MADS, the blond chef becomes irritated. Their impending battle will be explored in greater depth in subsequent episodes.
Miniature Elderly Person Dismemberer
In One Piece Episode 1039, Baby Geezer Chopper appears in what may be considered one of the prettiest avatars from the anime, during the standoff between Sanji and Queen.
Previously, Chopper had used Caesar’s Rumble Ball to battle, causing him to shrink. When Sanji first spots Chopper in this little size, he is shocked. Chopper’s voice is also quivering.
Zoro consents to take the Mink medication. As Dr Miyagi explains, all of Zoro’s wounds may be healed using a medication that has been passed down through the generations of minks in Zou.
He’ll be able to return to battle for a while, but at the cost of twice as much damage later on. Zoro still has numerous fractured bones and bandages in One Piece episode 1039. It’s a miracle he’s still alive since even talking is too much of an effort for him right now. Zoro, however, takes the medication since he does not see the sense of not fighting at a time when the Straw Hats need him the most.
Past lives of famous people exposed
Both Jinbe and Who’s Who engage in combat in this scene from One Piece episode 1039. The former is familiar with the Six Powers combat method used by the Government and recalls hearing that an inmate from the Government’s secret intelligence organisation, CP9, had escaped. Then, Who’s Who admits that he was the one who was locked up. He claims that he was promised a promising career on the level of Rob Lucci, but that his dismissal and imprisonment followed his inability to protect a Devil Fruit being transferred aboard a Government ship. Another reason Who’s Who blames Luffy for eating the stolen Devil Fruit is that it was Gomu Gomu no Mi, which the Straw Hats had taken.
The following episode’s plot details
The next episode promises to deliver two spectacular battles, one between Sanji and Queen, and the other between Jinbe and Who’s Who, and fans can’t wait. It’s possible that the conflict between Kaido and Yamato, which began in episode 1038 of One Piece, will continue here. Action-packed episodes are on the horizon, and fans of the manga know there will be some spectacular twists and turns. On the 12th of November, 2022, episode 1040 of One Piece will premiere in Japanese syndication. It has been translated and is available on Crunchyroll for international viewers.
