What happened last week?

One Piece Episode 1027 began with Big Mom falling out of Onigashima after being pushed by the Worst Generation. Her Homies were unable to go help her because Zoro, Kid, Killer, and Law kept them busy. Kaido, who heard the distress of the Homies, went to distract Zoro and Law for a few seconds, giving Prometheus the chance to go save Big Mom.

The Homie successfully saved his creator by plunging into the sea and rescuing her from drowning. Big Mom was thankful to Prometheus and Napoleon, but she was disappointed with Zeus’ performance. Prometheus convinced Big Mom to give him a new partner who is powerful enough to keep up with him.

Back on the roof, Kaido tried to kill Luffy while the Straw Hat captain was still unconscious. Zoro had to use all of his remaining power to access his Conqueror Haki and cut Kaido, thanks to his Ashura Blades Drawn.

The Yonko was impressed with this display of power, although it was not enough to make him feel any kind of fear. Kaido used his attack to knock Zoro and Law out, claiming he was going to end them. At the last second, Luffy woke up, seemingly having awakened a new power, ready to bring Kaido down.

What to expect from One Piece Episode 1028?

The episode will be titled Surpass the Emperor of the Sea! Luffy Strikes Back with an Iron Fist! The plot will mainly focus on Luffy awakening his Advanced Conqueror Haki, which he obtained after training with Hyogoro. This power will be enough to severely damage Kaido for the first time since their fight started.

It will also be the debut of Big Mom’s new Homie, which was teased in the last episode. We do not know if One Piece Episode 1028 will commence a fight between Kid, Killer and Big Mom, but there is a chance it may.

Last week's episode divided the community, with some fans happy to see Zoro display his power, while others complained about Big Mom's rescue and the excessive use of flashbacks.

Let's hope One Piece Episode 1028 will manage to handle the story better so fans can enjoy Luffy giving Kaido the beating he deserves.
