"The Strongest Man - Shutenmaru, the Bandits Brigade Chief!" is the 912th episode of the One Piece anime
Short Summary[]
While Usopp is looking for allies in Wano Country, Shutenmaru and the Mt. Atama Thieves plunder Okobore Town. Jack suddenly arrives at Okobore Town and confronts Shutenmaru. Shutenmaru and Jack quickly get into a fight, but are interrupted when Kaidou flies in his dragon form.
Long Summary[]
Kin'emon continues revealing his plan for the upcoming raid on Onigashima. Sanji notices that Ashura Doji is among the allies Kin'emon wants to track down, but is also one of Oden's enemies that were defeated. Kin'emon explains that Doji changed his ways and became a servant of the Kouzuki Family, but recently returned to being a criminal under the name Shutenmaru. He explains that Shutenmaru is one of his strongest potential allies.
Meanwhile, Shutenmaru is in the streets of Okobore Town, robbing people who just received food from Luffy. However, he is encountered by Jack of the Beasts Pirates, and they quickly engage in duel. Shutenmaru manages to critically wound Jack.
In Onigashima, Kaidou goes on a drunken rant about Luffy, attacking his subordinates and smashing another flask. Eventually, using his Devil Fruit power, he transforms into a terrifying azure dragon and flies to Kuri.
In Okobore Town, stormy clouds fill the sky, and the citizens immediately recognize, to their shock, that Kaidou has decided to appear in person. Jack and Shutenmaru notice, and so do the Straw Hats, who are hidden away at the Heart Pirates' tent. Kaidou commands Jack to lead him to Luffy.
