"Surpass the Emperor of the Sea - Luffy Strikes Back with an Iron Fist" is the 1028th episode of the One Piece anime.
Short Summary[]
The Worst Generation and Emperors scatter across Onigashima, preparing for new fights. Kid prepares to battle Big Mom, Killer fights Hawkins, and Luffy fights Kaidou. Meanwhile, Nami, Tama, and Usopp return to the Live Floor, chased by Page One.
Long Summary[]
Luffy's declaration angers Kaidou. At the same time, Big Mom takes out a fragment of her soul and gives it to the thundercloud above, creating a new homie to replace Zeus. As her first technique, this new homie fires a powerful lightning bolt at Kid and Killer, hitting them at near point-blank range and shaking the entire island.
Meanwhile, Nami, Tama, and Usopp attempt to return to the Live Floor on Komachiyo while Page One chases them. Page One transforms into his hybrid form and leaps onto Komachiyo's back, but Komachiyo begins to speed up, running into a wall at full speed and ramming Page One into it.
Kid and Killer emerge from the rubble somewhere inside the castle. Big Mom is on the floor directly below them, still in pursuit of Kid. Suddenly, they are attacked by Hawkins, and Kid becomes enraged that Hawkins abandoned Kid in favour of Kaidou. Kid decides to advance while Killer battles Hawkins. Hawkins uses Goma no So, transforming into a scarecrow-like figure.
Back on the roof, Luffy notices that Kaidou had the rare power of Supreme King Haki. He also remembers Hyougoro's lessons on Internal Destruction Armament Haki, where one directs their Haki into the target, damaging the target internally. With this, Luffy strikes Kaidou's stomach without touching him, then unleashes a powerful uppercut knocking Kaidou over. With this, Luffy tells Law and Zoro to head downstairs while he battles Kaidou on his own.
