Episode 946

"Stop the Emperor of the Sea! Queen's Secret Plan" is the 946th episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
Luffy attempts to defend against Big Mom's attack, but she sends him and Hyogoro crashing into a wall. They both survived, but Big Mom continues attacking Luffy, chasing him around the Prisoner Mines.

Queen regains consciousness and he comes up with a plan to take down Big Mom. Once Luffy and Big Mom return to where they started, Queen uses a dive bomb attack and strikes her on the head. The attack appears to have failed and Big Mom regains her memories.

Long Summary
Luffy recalls how he saw Rayleigh used Ryuo. Back at Sabaody Archipelago, Camie was fitted with an explosive slave collar as she was trafficked into slavery. However, Rayleigh used Ryuo to remove the collar with a single hand. Back in present day, Luffy uses the same method in an attempt to repel Big Mom's attack.

Luffy's defense fails and Big Mom sends him and Hyogoro crashing into a wall. Luffy is unharmed but Hyogoro was hit hard on the head. Hyogoro congratulates Luffy for successfully learning the technique before he collapses in Luffy's arms.

Big Mom chases Luffy around and attacks him, chasing him into the ironworks section and breaking out many prisoners. Meanwhile, Queen gets up and hatches a plan to stop her. He expects that Big Mom will chase Luffy through all five labour camps of the prison before making her way back to the stone quarry. He sets up a trap by placing a pot of red bean soup as bait at the quarry.

As expected, Big Mom chases Luffy back to the quarry and finds the red bean soup. However, Queen suddenly dives down from above and strikes Big Mom in the head. The head trauma makes her regain her memories.
