"The Predator's Trap - Black Maria's Temptation" is the 1042nd episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
Kaidou tries to convince Yamato to become the Shogun of the Wano Country and rule the country with the special power he obtained by accident. Meanwhile, Saul, Professor Clover, and Robin's mother Olvia suddenly appear in front of her.

Long Summary
Yamato and Kaidou continue to duel on the rooftop, with Yamato officially refusing Kaidou's offer to become Shogun. Meanwhile, Franky points out Sasaki's stomach cut despite his toughness, attempting to slash his stomach again. However, Sasaki avoids it, and the two begin a swordfight. Franky is eventually forced to run, launching a General Cannon at Sasaki. Sasaki avoids the attack, charging at Franky, but in the process makes himself vulnerable for a Franky Radical Beam to the stomach.

Back on the rooftop, Kaidou laments Yamato having eaten the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami, and asks once again for Yamato to become Shogun under him. Yamato refuses once again, and begins shooting ice at Kaidou, though he is countered with a blast of fire.

Inside Onigashima, Brook and Robin walk through fog, with Nico Olvia suddenly appearing before them. Saul and Clover quickly follow suit, gesturing towards Robin. She thinks back to her time with the three of them, remembering their deaths. However, she recognizes that they're illusions, knocking away Nure-Onna, Kunyun, and Tenjo-Sagari, the three people embodying them.
