"Shuron Hakke! The Lawless Dragon Closing in on Luffy" is the 1064th episode of the One Piece anime.
Short Summary[]
As Luffy continues to fight Kaidou, Kaidou uses a form of drunk fighting known as Shuron Hakke which makes the battle harder for Luffy. Meanwhile at Mary Geoise, as the Five Elders review the situation, they mention a Devil Fruit that had not awakened for centuries to which the World Government had to rename, just as Zunesha arrives at Wano Country.
Long Summary[]
While the battle between Kaidou and Luffy is taking place at the rooftop of the Skull Dome, Momonosuke is desperate to steer Onigashima away from the Flower Capital where its citizens are oblivious to the catastrophe that could befall them. In the Flower Capital, the people are drinking their fill and dancing to the music. They send lanterns to the sky, with their wishes written on them so that they may reach heaven. In hers, Toko writes that she wants to see her adoptive father again, which breaks Hitetsu’s heart.
Back at the rooftop, Kaidou looks at the beautiful night sky and takes out a barrel full of sake and takes huge gulps of the alcohol. Luffy is angry that he is drinking while they are fighting. Kaidou tells him that it is because he is having fun. Today is the Fire Festival and they had planned a banquet on Onigashima, but Luffy and the others messed it all up. He offers some booze to Luffy, but the latter refuses and declares, instead that he’ll have a banquet of his own after he beats Kaidou.
Kaidou releases a huge amount of Haki and tells Luffy that he hopes he can have a nice big banquet. Luffy is angered once more, seeing that Kaidou is now drunk. Indignant at the accusation, Kaidou throws the barrel of sake down and then weeps at his ruined banquet. He proceeds to hiccup and laugh while staggering around, barely able to keep standing upright. Incensed at the sight of a drunk Kaidou, Luffy charges at him. However, Kaidou easily evades him and attacks using his Lightning Hammered: Ragnaraku technique. Luffy receives a direct hit, and a shockwave is felt throughout the rooftop.
Now in his dragon form, a drunk, weeping Kaidou laments that even though he is having fun, the battle has already destroyed half of his castle which took five years to build. Kaidou continues to wail about his woes while attacking Luffy using his drunken techniques. Luffy continues to retaliate and finally lands a kick to his stomach which causes Kaidou to cough up blood.
Meanwhile, in Mary Geoise, the Five Elders complain how this year’s Levely is cursed. They mention that it resulted in the total abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, an incident concerning the Arabasta Kingdom, and the Revolutionary Army’s infiltration of Mary Geoise. The blond elder says that they need to set those aside for now and immediately deal with what is happening in the Land of Wano. He is expectant that the CP0 have captured Nico Robin by now, and that the battles involving Big Mom and Kaidou will result to death. He mentions of the need to erase the existence of a certain Devil Fruit. Another elder rebuffs its existence, saying that the said fruit is a mere legend even to them as it has not awakened for centuries. However, the blond elder says that the World Government would not have bothered giving that Devil Fruit another name if they did not want to hide its name from history.
At the seas just outside of Wano, a fleet of Marine Ships are on standby awaiting orders. A scout sees a giant shadow and uses a Den Den Mushi to report this to his superior. He describes the shadow as an island. At a distance, a silhouette of a giant elephant trumpets as it arrives just behind the Marine fleet.
