Episode 1045

"A Spell! Kid and Zoro Facing Threats!" is the 1045th episode of the One Piece anime.
==Short Summary==
Raizo battles Fukurokuju, Killer battles Hawkins, Sanji battles both King and Queen and Nekomamushi enters battle with Perospero. After Sanji is defeated, King pursues Zoro while he is still incapacitated.
==Long Summary==
A Mary watches Black Maria, the last remaining Tobiroppo, face defeat. Raizo enters battle against Fukurokuju but Fukurokuju uses his long earlobes as whips, knocking him to the ground.
Killer battles Hawkins and manages to slash him, but Hawkins' Devil Fruit ability allows him to redirect the damage onto other people, leaving himself unharmed. When Killer stabs Hawkins, he instead injures Kid, hurting his battle with Big Mom. Killer realizes that he cannot harm Hawkins without first killing his own captain.
On the live floor, Sanji is left to battle against both King and Queen while Zoro continues to heal, waiting for the drug to take effect. Perospero attempts to sabotage Sanji by shooting him with his candy bow, but Nekomamushi appears and strikes him out of the castle.
King and Queen get the upper hand and strike Sanji down. While Queen brutally punishes the defected Gifters, King decides to pursue and attack Zoro while he is incapacitated. Although Chopper's group attempts to take Zoro away, King stops them, with the drug having yet to take effect.
