Episode 983

"The Samurai Warriors' Earnestness! The Straw Hats Land at Onigashima" is the 983rd episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
As the alliance and Kid Pirates reach Onigashima, Kin'emon uses his abilities to disguise the allies as Beasts Pirates. He then gives a speech to the samurai to take advantage of their disguises and reach the castle for the final battle.

Long Summary
Kid and Luffy race to Onigashima, with Jinbe controlling the Thousand Sunny. Meanwhile, Raizo briefs the plan. Kid and Luffy would enter through the front gate as decoys while Kin'emon and Denjiro each lead another decoy group through the mountain path. Starting the plan, Kin'emon sets sail while the Heart Pirates go underwater in their submarine.

The allies enter to find Onigashima vibrantly illuminated, with the guards at a banquet and unprepared for enemy attacks. Usopp knocks out the few intoxicated guards on lookout, allowing the others to safely disembark. However, they destroy their return ships, making it impossible for them to escape if they had to. They split up into their two decoy groups.

Kin'emon uses a Devil Fruit technique, "Kin-chan Gofukuten," to create a gate that gives disguises. Kid, Killer, and the Straw Hats walk through the gate, disguising them all as Beasts Pirates. Kin'emon warns that if the disguises are damaged or removed, they will transform back into regular outfits. He makes his final remarks before going forward.
