Episode 1055

"A Shadowy Figure Pulls the Strings! Onigashima in Flames" is the 1055th episode of the One Piece anime.
==Short Summary==
Kin'emon survives his defeat in battle, having been cut into two pieces. Meanwhile, Kanjuro gives his "final performance," creating a flame monster and setting the castle on fire.
==Long Summary==
After Queen's blade shatters upon contact with Sanji's neck, Sanji realizes that he may have scientific enhancements just like his siblings. Even when his enemies shoot him with firearms, he survives uninjured. Still, he denies his abilities due to contempt of his old family.
X Drake continues his battle against combatant Beasts Pirates when he is confronted by Scratchmen Apoo. Apoo suggests an underhanded proposition; given that both sides of the battle would be heavily damaged after the raid, Apoo suggests the formation of an alliance to defeat the weakened victor after the battle concludes. On his side are three Numbers: Inbi, Fuga and Zanki. Drake is uninterested by this offer, untrusting of Apoo.
Tama and her tamed Beasts Pirates try to escape the fire, but they come face-to-face with Kin'emon's lower body. Apparently, he survived his defeat at Kaidou's hands as he had already been bifurcated by Law. While his upper body remains in the attic attempting to wake up Kiku, his lower body looks for allies. His lower body can communicate, but cannot hear others because his ears are on his other half. He reunites with Nami's group after she traces the reverse crescent on his leg, allowing him to identify her as an ally.
On the third floor, Brook continues to escort Robin away, but is confronted by Guernika and the members of CP0. Guernika attempts to capture Robin, but Mink combatants come to her support. 
Kanjuro reveals to have also survived his defeat and is in contact with Orochi. On Orochi's order, Kanjuro decides to give a "final performance" using his Devil Fruit ability. To symbolize the burning hatred of the Kurozumi Family, he uses Kazenbo: he draws and creates a large ghost-like entity wreathed in flames. The monster passes through walls and sets everything it touches on fire. Shortly after creating the monster, Kanjuro collapses, finally succumbing to his injuries.
The Marys announce that the Skull Dome is now on fire. Sanji continues his battle against Queen, Zoro battles fiercely against King in the air, and Luffy and Kaidou continue their combat on the roof of the Skull Dome.
