"Oden Appears! The Confused Hearts of the Red Scabbards!" is the 1024th episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
Momonosuke's Devil Fruit is revealed to Yamato and a CP0 agent reveals how it was made. Meanwhile, the samurai welcome Oden, but find it is an impostor created by Kanjuro.

Long Summary
Yamato and Shinobu defend Momonosuke from enemy Beasts Pirates, but Momonosuke becomes frustrated by his inability to fend for himself. He accidentally transforms into a pink dragon, shocking Yamato. Momonosuke explains that when he was in Punk Hazard, he broke into a restricted area and ate a fruit, not knowing it was Vegapunk's SMILE fruit. Yamato comments that his ability is very similar to Kaidou's.

A CP0 agent explains how this fruit was made. The Punk Hazard scientists, led by Vegapunk, created the fruit by extracting Kaidou's Lineage Factor. However, the experiment was deemed a failure and the fruit was left abandoned in the laboratory following its closure.

While in the hallways, Momonosuke somehow reveals that Luffy is losing the battle. On the rooftop, Luffy and the Worst Generation is failing to land a single hit on Kaidou in his hybrid form.

In the treasure repository, the Nine Red Scabbards are happy to see Oden, assuming that he must have escaped the boiling pot and survived. However, Ashura becomes suspicious and slices Oden's face, but he does not bleed. Furthermore, Oden stabs Ashura with his sword, confirming he is an impostor. It is revealed he is a drawing made by Kanjuro. Kanjuro states that he was fatally wounded by Kiku and would not survive the battle, but he plans to kill Momonosuke in his final moments.
