"Sanji's Mutation - The Two Arms in Crisis!" is the 1053rd episode of the One Piece anime.
Short Summary[]
Momonosuke attempts and struggles to move Onigashima. The members of CP0 send troops to Wano Country. Inside, Sanji realizes he, like his siblings, may have genetic advancements that allow him to heal instantaneously.
Long Summary[]
Momonosuke attempts to make Flame Clouds in order to move Onigashima, but he struggles to create them as the clouds immediately disintegrate. Yamato decides to leave him and go back into the island to secure explosives; as explosives are stored on the island, if the island crashes into the Flower Capital the destruction will be amplified by the explosives. To prevent this, Yamato climbs back onto the island and runs inside.
Lucci contacts Guernika and the other members of CP0 on the island, planning their moves. If the alliance wins the battle and Kaidou falls, the World Government plans to seize Wano Country to make it a member state. Lucci informs them that reinforcements are on the way. He also informs them of another target of interest: Nico Robin.
Sanji's battle with Queen intensifies as he uses Diable Jambe against Queen. Queen uses his Brachiojaurus move: with his cyborg enhancements, he detaches his head and tail from his body so his body resembles a snake. He captures Sanji and constricts him, breaking his bones and crushing him. However, Queen accidentally fires missiles at himself, freeing Sanji from his grasp.
Strangely, Sanji gets up and finds that he was unharmed by Queen's attack. Although his bones are broken and dented, he is able to pound his body back into place. Queen attempts to behead Sanji, only for the blade to shatter against Sanji's neck and cause him only minor pain. Sanji realizes that he may have genetic enhancements just like his siblings.
