"I'll Protect You - Yamato Meets Momonosuke" is the 999th episode of the One Piece anime.
Short Summary[]
The banquet is terrorized by three of the Numbers, who attack the Brachio Tank. However, they are defeated by Franky. Meanwhile, Yamato attempts to meet with his alleged son, Momonosuke, but he is too suspicious of Yamato to trust him.
Long Summary[]
Nami is excited to see Franky and Brook. The samurai continue to battle the Beasts Pirates in the performance hall.
However, the Numbers play with the Brachio Tank like a toy, ripping the hatch open to see Usopp and Chopper before throwing the tank into the ground. Unharmed by the beatings, the tank fires back, but the Numbers are also unharmed by the fire. One of the Numbers picks the tank up and shakes it around, making Usopp and Chopper dizzy.
Yamato runs through the halls to rescue Momonosuke, but is still pursued by Ulti. Yamato is forced to battle her, but he gets the upper hand, knocking her into a wall. He goes to meet Shinobu and Momonosuke. Although Luffy insists that Yamato could be trusted, they get suspicious when Yamato claims to be Oden. They flee from him.
Big Mom gets up, infuriated that two more Straw Hats have shown up. Franky attempts to fight back by firing a laser beam, but the Numbers appear. Their gigantic size reminds the Straw Hats of the time they battled Oars in Thriller Bark. Big Mom explains that they were artificial recreations of ancient giants from Punk Hazard that were failed experiments but were purchased by Kaidou.
Franky notices that one of the Numbers has the Brachio Tank in its hand, so he fires a laser beam at it. Big Mom attempts to attack Franky, but Robin and Jinbe intervene. Jinbe flips Big Mom over, and Robin creates a path of hands that rolls her away. To the excitement of Usopp and Chopper, Franky prepares to combine the Brachio Tank and the Kurosai FR-U IV into the Iron Pirate.
