Episode 915

"Destructive! One Shot, One Kill - Raimei Hakke!" is the 915th episode of the One Piece anime

Short Summary
Luffy continues his furious battle with Kaidou. Despite his best efforts, the battle ends in Luffy's defeat from just one blow.

Long Summary
Luffy jumps and charges at Kaidou in his dragon form in the air using Elephant Gatling while Kaidou does not attempt to either block or dodge Luffy's attacks. Before Luffy could deal the finishing blow, Kaidou gets up and blows a powerful blast of air that launches Luffy away. Kaidou then tries to crush Luffy using his tail, but he dodges it. Kaidou proceeds to attack Luffy using Bolo Breath, but the attack proved ineffective as Luffy evades it. Many buildings in Bakura Town are destroyed in the process. Luffy then commences a barrage of attacks on Kaidou such as Elephant Gun and Giant Stamp before knocking him to the ground using Grizzly Magnum.

Kaidou transforms into his human form as Law yells at Luffy to stop fighting. Luffy ignores him and marches to Kaidou. Kaidou gets up and is visibly still drunk, Luffy activates Gear 4: Boundman and attacks Kaidou using Kong Gun. However, his attack was in vain as Kaidou is not launched away by it. Luffy begins another barrage of attacks such as Double Culverin and Kong Organ Gun which launches Kaidou through many buildings.

Kaidou, now enraged, gets up again and Luffy charges at him using King Kong Gun while Kaidou attacks using Raimei Hakke. Luffy's efforts proved ineffective as Kaidou launches Luffy away using this single attack, defeating him.

Law attempts to rescue Luffy using Shambles but is stopped by Hawkins who pierces him using a Seastone nail to nullify his powers and tries to capture him. Law evades his attack and removes the nail in time to transport himself away. Hawkins orders some of the Beasts Pirates to look for him.

Kaidou stands over Luffy, scoffing at the idea that he aspired to be Pirate King after bringing him down with such ease
