Episode 979

"Good Luck!? Leader Kin'emon's Plot" is the 979th episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
Kyoshiro reveals himself as Denjiro, bringing in another 1200 troops to aid the allied forces. However, Kanjuro escapes with Momonosuke.

Long Summary
Kyoshiro pledges allegiance to the Kozuki Family, even mentioning the Mountain God Incident caused by Kin'emon. He reveals that he is Denjiro, and he has been working undercover for Orochi for the last twenty years. He also explains that he freed 1200 prisoners from the Flower Capital, all of whom were willing to join the alliance.

Then, Kyoshiro explains that Kin'emon misunderstood the new flyer given by Yasuie. What the lines really meant was to remove the middle syllables of "Habuminato" (Habu Port), getting "Hato" (wharf). The correct rendezvous point was at the wharf of Habu Port all along. Kanjuro deliberately misled Kin'emon's group so they would go to the wrong port.

Furthermore, although Orochi bombed the connecting bridges between regions, the allied forces had already crossed the bridge before then. Their ships were safely hidden away at the Habu wharf. The allied fleet sets sail for Onigashima. Kin'emon laments his error but joins the alliance, ready to battle.

Kanjuro laments having let the alliance get away but attempts to escape with Momonosuke by drawing a crane. The drawing is surprisingly good, as he had only pretended to be a bad artist. Although Kawamatsu swims back to shore to confront him, Kanjuro manages to get away, flying away with Momonosuke. Luffy and Kid sink another enemy ship, but see them flying away.
