Episode 944

"The Storm Has Come! A Raging Big Mom!" is the 944th episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
After the skirmish inside the Flower Capital, Kin'emon confesses to Ashura Doji that he provoked Holed'em into attacking Mt. Atama. When Ashura becomes angry, Kin'emon admits his mistake for trying to force Ashura to join the rebellion and once again begs him for his help.

After Chopper's group arrives at the Prisoner Mines, Big Mom breaks in. During her search for oshiruko, she gets into a fight with Queen.

Long Summary
Kin'emon admits to Ashura that his alliance framed him for theft to turn him against the Beasts Pirates. Although Ashura was originally hostile because Mt. Atama has been destroyed, Kin'emon deeply apologizes for his extreme measures as well as abandoning the country for the last twenty years. Forgiving him, Ashura asks Kin'emon to follow him.

At Udon, Big Mom forces her way through all three gates of the prison mine and appears, shocking everyone in the prison. She demands to be fed red bean soup, but Queen, who is very fond of the food, refuses, unwilling to share any with her. Queen uses his Devil Fruit power to transform into a brachiosaurus. They quickly start to fight.

Tama and Momonosuke stay behind at the gate due it being too dangerous, but Kiku, who dons a disguise, goes inside with Chopper. After travelling through the entrance, they find Big Mom slamming Queen's head into the ground.
