Chapter 1022: "The Stars Take the Stage"

With only 15 minutes to go until Onigashima reaches the Flower Capital, the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance has managed to defeat the Beasts Pirates' Tobiroppo. On the third floor of the castle, Raizo duels with Fukurokuju, with the latter deriding the former's emotional state and willingness to follow a dead man. Elsewhere on the floor, Killer has destroyed most of Hawkins' straw dolls that transfer damage to another person. However, Hawkins reveals after taking another attack that his current doll is tied to Kid, resulting in Kid being wounded whilst fighting Big Mom. Hawkins takes pleasure in Killer's dilemma and wonders what the latter will ultimately choose to do.

On the Live Floor, King and Queen rampage mercilessly against the defected Beasts Pirates, with Sanji having been overwhelmed and Marco exhausted. Sanji nervously waits for Miyagi's treatment of Zoro to take effect as he resumes attacking Queen, and Perospero attempts to snipe Sanji with a candy arrow, but is attacked by Nekomamushi to avenge Pedro. Some samurai attempt to take Zoro to safety, but are confronted by King; however, Marco is able to hold off King long enough for the treatment to take effect. Sanji and a now-healthy Zoro then unleash powerful simultaneous strikes against Queen and King, and the two of them state that they will catch a glimpse of Luffy as the Pirate King once this battle is won.
