Zoro becomes the King of Hell in One Piece episode 1062
Zoro figures out King's weakness
In One Piece episode 1062, Zoro makes a significant discovery regarding King's vulnerability. He realizes that the flames on King's back are directly related to his durability. Seizing the opportune moment, the skilled swordsman strikes with force, successfully ripping apart King's mask.
This forces King to reveal his face for the first time. As his comrades identify his tribe by observing his dark brown skin and white hair, it becomes evident that King is a Lunarian. However, the moment they bring up the huge bounty on Lunarians, King responds by incinerating them.
Then the battle between King and Zoro continues with King coming to understand how dangerous Zoro is and Zoro realizing how little time he has left. However, in One Piece episode 1062, King is adamant that Zoro will not win since he is working to install Kaidou as the new Pirate King.
King's loyalty to Kaido, explained
In One Piece episode 1062, a flashback scene reveals the initial encounter between King and Kaido. This meeting took place on Punk Hazard, where the World Government had imprisoned the Lunarian and conducted experiments on him.
Kaido defeated a bunch of guards and approached King, whose real name was Alber. He shared his plan of forming his own pirate crew and asked if Alber wanted to join him. Alber asked if Kaido could change the world, and Kaido confidently stated that only he could do so.
They then escaped together after setting the facility on fire. It is also revealed that part of the reason King joined Kaido was because he considered the future Emperor of the sea to be the Joyboy.
Zoro defeats King
In One Piece episode 1062, the fight between Zoro and King finally comes to an end after a series of intense exchanges. During the battle, Zoro realizes that King is vulnerable and has shifted to a defensive mode.
Seizing this opportunity, Zoro unleashes a new technique known as the King of Hell, effectively piercing through King's defenses and emerging victorious. Then the Straw Hat swordsman declares that he will become the King of Hell if needed, to help Luffy become the next Pirate King.
A quick summary of One Piece episode 1061
In the previous episode, the focus was on the heated battle between Queen and Sanji in the Pleasure Hall. Queen wanted to showcase his advanced scientific knowledge compared to Vinsmoke Judge.
However, he was frustrated because the Raid Suit, which would have helped assess his progress in recreating or surpassing Germa 66's abilities, had been destroyed.
As the battle commenced, Queen resorted to using Sanji's Stealth Black technique to turn invisible and planned to launch an attack on him from behind.
However, Sanji also disappeared by moving at incredible speed. Queen decided to wait until Sanji became exhausted.
Meanwhile, Osome, who had recovered slightly after being struck by Sanji, stayed behind to search for her mouse, Chuji. She arrived at the scene of the fight between Sanji and Queen, but they were invisible to her.
Queen recalled how he had hit Osome because she had refused his advances by pretending to be ill. Due to his invisibility, Sanji was wrongly accused of the attack.
Sanji became enraged after realizing that Queen had attacked Osome and so he used a new attack called Ifrit Jambe. Despite Sanji's efforts, Queen returned to the fight, prompting Sanji to unleash Boeuf Burst, which sent Queen flying. After the battle was over, Sanji collapsed from his injuries.
