"Powers on a Different Level! Luffy vs. Lucci!" is the 1100th episode of the One Piece anime.
Short Summary[]
At Marine Headquarters, Sakazuki learns of the situation at Egghead and orders Lucci not to face Luffy until Kizaru arrives with back-up, but he is ignored and they attack each other using their new awakened states. As Dr. Vegapunk explains to Sanji's group about Devil Fruits, he convinces Sentomaru to join their side. This forces Lucci to knock out Sentomaru to regain control of the Seraphim.
Long Summary[]
At Marine Headquarters at New Marineford, Sakazuki receives a report from his subordinates, learns that Luffy is on Egghead and siding with Vegapunk. Fearing the defeat of CP0, Sakazuki states he has sent Kizaru to the island to support the CP0 agents. He orders the CP0 agents not to battle Luffy until the Marines' arrival.
On Egghead, against Kaku and Stussy's advice, Lucci disobeys his order and battles Luffy. After combat in their base forms ends in a standstill, Luffy transforms into his Gear 5 form, using his awakened form. Lucci responds by transforming into his awakened form, revealing he had gotten stronger since their battle at Enies Lobby. This new form allows him to run at higher speeds, overwhelming Luffy and allowing him to attack by surprise. Shaka notes that Lucci's Devil Fruit is special in that it can be awakened without taking control of Lucci's personality. Luffy and Lucci continue to battle in their awakened forms, causing mass destruction to the Fabiriophase and sending the civilians to evacuate.
Vegapunk watches Luffy in awe via surveillance footage with Nami's group. He explains that the Gomu Gomu no Mi is not registered in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, but it allows its user to become the legendary sun god Nika. Vegapunk then explains his theory surrounding Devil Fruits; according to him, when one person desires to have a particular power, the power manifests in a Devil Fruit, though in exchange the eater becomes an enemy of the sea.
Sentomaru arrives in Egghead, ordered to side with the Straw Hats and battle the CP0 agents. Though initially reluctant to side with pirates, he agrees, ordering the Seraphim to attack the enemy forces. Though Kaku attempts to order S-Bear against Sentomaru, S-Bear turns on the CP0 agents instead, as Sentomaru holds priority of command over authority chip holders such as CP0 agents. Though the Five Elders has priority over Sentomaru, they cannot command the Seraphim via Den Den Mushi. Kaku and Stussy are forced to retreat to a safer location. Sentomaru then watches as Luffy begins to have an advantage over Lucci, striking him twice with his powers.
Sentomaru interacts with Luffy, but their conversation is interrupted by Lucci's Shugan attack, striking Sentomaru. With Sentomaru incapacitated and unable to command the Seraphim, Lucci orders the Seraphim to join his side.
