One Piece is a Japanese manga-based series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. The series began with the legendary pirate Gol D. Roger, who announced the existence of his greatest treasure, One Piece, somewhere in the sea and, thus, started a pirate era. The major protagonist of the series, Monkey D. Luffy from the Foosha village, aims to find that treasure and become the king of pirates someday. He trained under his grandpa Garp and began his journey at the age of 17. He recruited amazing crewmates along the way and named his crew Straw Hats.
One Piece Episode 1041 Recap:
One Piece chapter 1041, titled “Showdown Battles of the Monsters! Yamato and Franky,” featured a crazy action in Onigashima. The episode begins with Nami, Usopp, and Otama running in the Onigashima while hypnotizing the enemy side in favor of straw hats. We saw Kaido’s subordinates defending Otama and her friends from enemies since they ate Kibi Dango, Otama’s special ability.
The episode later shifts toward the fight between Yamato and Kaido, and we see the devil fruit form of Yamato. We also saw them clashing with their weapons and releasing the color of supreme king haki. Most parts of the chapter revolved around the battle between Franky and Sasaki. We saw Sasaki using various attacks on general Franky however, his attacks were successfully countered by Franky.
In the end, we saw Franky using his special suplex on Sasaki and landing a fatal blow. Law’s subordinates are trying hard to wake Luffy up however Luffy shows no sign of consciousness unless he shouts, “Meat” in the end. The episode was quite great in terms of other aspects, including animations and OST. The floor will get even more heat up in the upcoming episode.
