On Sunday, February 12 at 9.30 am JST, we will be releasing One Piece 1051. In the episode trailer, we see Luffy facing off against Kaido, and other characters like Inuarashi and Nekomamushi standing up to Beast Pirate Jack and Charlotte Perospero. The battle between Luffy and Momonosuke against Kaido was shown in episode 1050 of One Piece. Momonosuke even bit the latter after being inspired to do so by Luffy. Across the battlefield, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were having trouble keeping up with Beast Pirate Jack and Charlotte Perospero as their Sulong metamorphosis wore off.
Warning: This page includes substantial One Piece spoilers.
In One Piece Episode 1051, the battle between Kaido and Luffy will cause the skies to crack. To protect Luffy, Zoro and Sanji battle Kaido’s commanders in the sneak peek for One Piece episode 1051. Sanji’s kick with the Diable Jambe seemed to be more than enough to send the commander, Queen, flying backwards. As the battle between Luffy and Kaido heats up, Zoro is seen charging towards King. Momonosuke’s character development is shown in the teaser by his pink dragon taking on a golden, ethereal sheen. The current shogun, Kurozumi Orochi, can also be seen in the video. In the last moments of the clip, Luffy and Kaido’s advanced conqueror’s haki collide, bathing the whole onigashima in a red glow.
When two advanced conqueror haki users fight, the sky splits apart, as it does at this moment in the manga when Luffy and Kaido collide. There have been other instances in the One Piece manga where yonkos have clashed, resulting in the sky being split in two. Whitebeard and Shanks, Roger and Whitebeard, and most recently, Kaido and Big Mom are all examples of such rivalries. This battle is more than just a demonstration of Luffy’s yonko-level strength; it’s a symbol of the optimism that he would ultimately become the next Pirate King and rescue Wano from the shadows cast by Kaido. When he returned to the fight, he rallied his troops and even convinced Momonosuke to overcome his dread of Kaido. Due to the moon being obscured by clouds in One Piece episode 1050, Inuarashi and Nekomamushi’s Sulong metamorphosis eventually wore off, putting them at a disadvantage against Jack and Perospero.
In the next episode, Luffy will utilise his sky-splitting ability to restore their Sulong form, allowing Jack the Drought and Big Mom’s eldest son, Perspero, to perform their last assaults and finally defeat the Beast All-Star Pirate. It was also possible to watch Zoro go toe-to-toe with King and manage to cut a small hole in his face mask. Episode 1051 has generated a lot of anticipation among viewers thanks to the high production values of the animation, the fast pace of the tale, and the tension between the series’ two most powerful characters.
