"The Drawn Sword's Fierce Attack! Zoro vs Kaku Powerful Slash Showdown" is the 299th episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
The battle between Zoro and Kaku rages on. Meanwhile Franky finally reaches Luffy.

Long Summary
The episode begins just after Sanji's fight with Jabra ends, with Zoro's fight with Kaku just heating up with the two fighters clashing with such power that the tower starts to slide again causing Sanji to wonder if they're trying to collapse the tower. As he avoids the debris, he notices the sign Nami left before and decides to head after them. Back with Robin and Spandam, they have unfortunately arrived at the Bridge of Hesitation, and they now see the gates which are now wide open. Spandam soon starts to gloat and mock Robin, telling her that once he passes through the gates he'll be known as the worlds hero but when she (Robin) passes, it'll be like hell. Robin then headbutts him in an attempt to escape but stumbles and trips before she can get far. Spandam then proceeds to taunt and kick Robin with him calling her stupid over and over again. Franky is then seen running through the tunnel when he sees a light. We then see the Buster Call with one of the lesser members saying that there time for arrival is 10 minutes. Franky then arrives in the room where Luffy and Lucci are fighting. When Luffy notices Franky he calls him a bastard.

Anime and Manga Differences

 * Luffy was shown wearing blue shorts for a short frame, this is most likely an accident of the anime.
