"Moon Princess Echoes! The Final Phase of Wano Country!" is the 1068th episode of the One Piece anime.
Short Summary[]
Izou sacrifices himself to defeat the CP0 agents, successfully taking down Maha with him. Meanwhile, Hiyori as Komurasaki inserts a Seastone nail into Orochi's body to neutralize his powers.
Long Summary[]
Nami's group, accompanied Kid and Law's crew members, celebrate their victory against Big Mom and rest. However, the Live Floor begins to crumble as a result of the explosion, as well as the battle on the Skull Dome. Meanwhile, Franky saves Zoro from falling off the edge of the island, pulling him back onto the island with his extendable arm.
Zunesha appears at Onigashima to aid the battle, but Momonosuke is unsure of whether to continue the battle. He explains to Yamato that it may not have been Oden's intention to liberate Wano Country if it endangered innocent lives.
Izou confronts the CP0 agents in the basement. The agents, Guernika and Maha, were willing to ignore him in pursuit of the Straw Hats, but Izou refused to let them pass. After a short battle, Izou was quickly overpowered by the agents, who both utilized Rokushiki to defeat him. However, as Maha fatally strikes Izou in the chest with a Shigan, Izou manages to shoot him down with his pistol, causing them to simultaneously take each other down.
Guernika briefly laments Maha's downfall. He then continues his search for Nico Robin, but he receives an imperial order from the Five Elders. As the World Government saw Luffy as an especially dangerous threat, they order Guernika to interrupt his battle with Kaidou and eliminate him immediately as a precaution. Guernika reluctantly obeys the order, but he is unaware he is being followed by Drake.
Komurasaki accompanies Orochi in his private chamber as he awaits Fukurokuju's return. Orochi becomes impatient and frustrated, but the ceiling suddenly collapses, crushing him under the rubble. Pressing her advantage, Komurasaki inserts a Seastone nail into Orochi's body, weakening him and preventing him from using his Devil Fruit powers. She plays Orochi's favourite song on her shamisen and reveals that the song was also the favourite of her father, Oden.
On the Skull Dome, Kaidou notices that Big Mom had been defeated by Kid and Law, and begins to mourn her, reflecting on how they met while serving Rocks' crew. Luffy takes advantage of Kaidou's emotional state and transforms into his Gear Fourth Snakeman form, declaring it his final Gear Fourth. Luffy's punches are too fast for Kaidou to predict and defend against.
