According to fans, One Piece Episode 1017 contains some of the most amazing animations the series has had. Not only this, but the episode brought more excitement and anticipation among fans for the next One Piece Episode, that is Episode 1018. Episode 1017 was titled “A Barrage of Powerful Techniques! The Fierce Attacks of the Worst Generation!”. It was directed by Kouhei Kureta and Nanami Michibata and written by Akiko Inoue. Yong Ce served as the animation director for the episode.
The One Piece series first began its journey as a manga written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It is produced by the studio Toei Animation. The first chapter of the manga was released on the 22nd of July 1997. Two years later, the first episode of the anime was released on the 20th of October 1999. As of now, the manga, as well as the anime, is still ongoing. This is why One Piece is probably the best when it comes to giving fans entertaining content.
One Piece Episode 1017 Recap
As the name of the episode suggests, the battle between the gang against Kaidou and Big Mom continues, but this time, they use even more powerful attacks. Interestingly, both sides still have a lot more strength to fight, so nobody is backing down yet. Kaidou proves to be one of the best antagonists as he is almost undefeatable as of now. He manages to dodge most of Luffy’s attacks. What makes the whole scene even crazy is that Luffy is using his bounce man form, and what makes it crazier is that he is equipped with the Gumgum Kong skills. However, Kaidou’s tough skin prevents him from being harmed. Still, as mentioned above, they both still have a lot of fight left in them, and we can expect even more cool moves in One Piece Episode 1018.
While Luffy was landing punches on Kaidou and Big Mom, Zoro was facing his own battle. Unfortunately, he was hurt by Linlin’s electric storm. This happened because he could not use his special sword ability. Luffy uses almost all his remaining strength to hit Kaidou as well as Big Mom with GumGum Kong Gatling. However, the battle does not stop here. Since this episode was regarded as having one of the best-animated fight scenes, fans cannot help but be eager to watch the next episode.

About The Ongoing Story Arc
Every anime that contains many episodes has story arcs. Story arcs help in grouping episodes into parts of the entire storyline. Since One Piece is the longest-running anime of its time, it is divided into many story arcs. The anime is currently on its 20th season, and the ongoing story arc is the Wano Country arc which is the thirty-first arc in the entire series. This arc began in 2019, and it starts from episode 892. Thus, the Wano Country arc contains more than 120 episodes so far.
This arc is probably the most interesting one of them all as the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance join forces to take down the Beasts Pirates. This arc also reveals many things about the Wano Country, the place where most of the battles take place. Not only this, but this arc also has one of the best battles as the alliance fight Kaidou and Big Mom. With the determination Luffy has and the friends who back him up, he continues to power up.
