"A Tough Decision! An Unusual United Front!" is the 1109th episode of the One Piece anime.
Short Summary[]
As the Straw Hat Pirates struggle against the Seraphim, Luffy reluctantly decides to release Lucci and Kaku, allowing them to join the fight. Meanwhile at Elbaf, Shanks learns of Kid's presence and accepts his challenge with the Road Poneglyph copies as the prize, and also has Giant Warrior Pirates accompany him.
Long Summary[]
Zoro recognizes S-Hawk's abilities as that of the Supa Supa no Mi, the Devil Fruit belonging to Mr. 1 of Baroque Works. Zoro and Luffy attempt to battle S-Hawk and S-Bear, but are burdened by having to move Lucci and Kaku away of their attacks. As S-Bear prepares a devastating Ursa Shock, Shaka and Luffy remove Lucci and Kaku's handcuffs on the condition that they would not target the Vegapunk satellites. Luffy and Lucci use combined attacks against S-Bear, and Zoro and Kaku use a combined attack against S-Hawk.
Overseas, Shanks and the Red Hair Pirates drink at a bar in Elbaf, entertaining themselves with a child begging to join the crew. Suddenly, they are informed that they have faced another invasion at the hands of the Kid Pirates. Because Shanks severed Kid's arm during a previous battle, Kid is likely seeking revenge. With this, the Red Hair Pirates prepare their defense, setting sail to confront the Kid Pirates at sea with Dorry and Brogy on his side. Shanks offers to let Kid escape unharmed if he hands over his Road Poneglyph copies. Kid, seeing the incoming threat, accepts the battle.
