Episode 1027

"Defend Luffy! Zoro and Law's Sword Technique" is the 1027th episode of the One Piece anime.

Short Summary
Big Mom recovers from her fall, re-approaching Onigashima, while Kaidou and the Worst Generation members continue to fight. Zoro manages to scar Kaidou, but both him and Law are defeated, and Luffy resolves to defeat the Emperor.

Long Summary
Big Mom falls into the ocean below and starts to drown, but her homies are unable to go rescue her. Kaidou aids them, and Prometheus and Napoleon escape Zoro and Killer. While Zeus is still trapped in the box, Prometheus and Napoleon dive into the sea, rescue Big Mom and carry her back to Onigashima.

On the way, Big Mom thanks Prometheus and Napoleon for rescuing her, but gets angry at Zeus for not coming to her aid. Prometheus, no longer wanting to share his power with Zeus, suggests that Big Mom abandons him and creates a new homie to be his girlfriend. She agrees. While they rise to the island, the Heart Pirates watch her from the Polar Tang, angry that she survived.

Kaidou prepares to finish off an unconscious Luffy, but Zoro uses the last of his strength to take him down. He uses a Nine Sword Style attack combined with Haoshoku Haki, slashing Kaidou's chest open and reopening his scar. Kaidou retaliates, defeating both Zoro and Law with Raimei: Hakke. However, Luffy gets up, swearing to defeat Kaidou.
