The One Piece Episode 1028 release date is upon us.
The latest installment saw the Worst Generation continue battling the Emperors. Zoro had to unleash Enma’s devastating power and use the Nine Sword Style to save Luffy from Emperor Kaidou’s assault. While the swordsman left a permanent scar on the Emperor in his half-dragon form, the effort was too much to handle for Zoro. His sacrifice wasn’t in vain, as it allowed Luffy to recover his energy and join the battle.

Directed by Yasunori Koyama and written by Shōji Yonemura, the next installment is called “Surpass the Emperor of the Sea! Luffy Strikes Back with an Iron Fist!” Judging from the promo, One Piece Episode 1028 will see the showdown between Luffy and Kaidou. Haoshoku Haki will play a pivotal role in the final battle as it had in Episode 1027. Interestingly, Kaidou hinted that also Zoro might have Haoshoku Haki after the swordsman scarred the Governor-General of the Beasts Pirates. When he heard that, Zoro looked very surprised and disagreed with Kaidou.
