"The Straw Hats Step In! An Uproarious Deadly Battle at the Execution Ground!" is the 942nd episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
Zoro and Sanji manage to save Toko. The swordsman directly attacks Orochi, who is protected by Kyoshiro, while Sanji fights against X Drake.

Franky saves Zoro and manages to recover Yasuie's body and the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates joins the fight.

At Udon, Luffy is assisting to his crewmembers' fights when two prisoners arrive: Kid and Kamazo, who turns out to be Killer.

Long Summary
The samurai start fighting Zoro and Sanji, who fight them off easily. Zoro then sends a flying slash towards Orochi, but Kyoshiro deflects the attack. Kyoshiro decides to battle against Zoro while Orochi rides back to the castle. X Drake then transforms into his allosaurus form and attacks Sanji. The firing squad also fires their rifles at Zoro and Sanji, but Franky blocks the bullets with his cyborg body. Franky takes Yasuie's body away. Usopp, Robin and Nami also fight at his side.

The Straw Hats decide to finish up their battle on the execution ground. Zoro battles with Kyoshiro, Sanji battles with Drake, and Usopp, Robin, Franky, and Nami deal with the other soldiers.

Luffy cheers from the sumo ring in Udon. Just then, Queen gets the news that some criminals have arrived. Kamazo, who failed to assassinate Komurasaki, and Kid, who surrendered after his escape, enter the prison. Kid immediately recognized Kamazo as his own crewmate, Killer. Killer was somehow forced to eat a SMILE fruit and therefore can only express happiness.

Angered for Kid, Luffy calls out Queen, resuming the sumo match.

Anime Notes

 * The anime adds the following:
 * When Hiyori wonders if Sanji is Zoro's ally, Brook confirms that he is.
 * Before transforming into his dinosaur form, Drake was looking at Zoro and Sanji's wanted posters, and Sanji tells Drake not to call him a Vinsmoke.
 * As Zoro tries to attack Orochi, he attacks some of Orochi's guards as well.
 * When the guards shoot at them, Sanji uses Busoshoku Haki to deflect the bullets away. This marks the first time Sanji is seen clearly with the black skin hardening effect.
 * When Kyoshiro stops Zoro's attack, the other Straw Hats talk about him.
 * As Nami's group is discussing what to do, they tell Shinobu and Kanjuro to leave the capital.
 * While Kid is furious over Killer's current state, Luffy yells at Queen and demands to continue the sumo matches.
 * Right after Zoro and Sanji save Toko, the dialogue between them is extended.
 * The fight at the execution site is extended.
 * When Sanji tried to counterattack against Drake's surprise attack in the manga, he only hardened his leg. In the anime, Sanji uses Diable Jambe.
 * In the anime, when Kamazo is revealed to be Killer, his pre-timeskip appearance is shown, unlike in the manga where his post-timeskip appearance was shown.
