Episode 1115

"The Marines Surprised! Marine Headquarters' Former Admiral, Kuzan" is the 1115th episode of the One Piece anime.
==Short Summary==
In the past, after having some drinks with the Blackbeard Pirates, Kuzan is convinced by Blackbeard to join them. In the present, Kuzan faces his former mentor Garp in battle. Meanwhile, at Winner Island, Blackbeard has defeated Law. This forces Bepo to use a special drug to briefly enter Sulong form to save his captain and then he escapes with Law to the sea.
==Long Summary==
Blackbeard confronted Kuzan for attacking his territory, but they quickly resolved their conflict, having drinks together. Together, Kuzan explained his defeat against Sakazuki, including how he lost his leg from the battle. Kuzan and Blackbeard also discussed the state of the Road Poneglyphs, including the mysterious pirate Hinokizu rumoured to possess one of the Road Poneglyphs. 
However, when Laffitte suggested killing Kuzan to poach his Devil Fruit abilities, Kuzan overheard and entered a fit of rage, freezing many of the people in the bar. To defuse the situation, Blackbeard offered Kuzan a position in the Blackbeard Pirates. Though Kuzan was initially reluctant to join the crew, he decided to accept the offer because while he did not want to befriend Blackbeard, they shared a mutual goal of upturning the Marines' idea of justice. 
In the present day, Kuzan concludes his explanation, and Garp demands Kuzan cut ties with Blackbeard and return to the Marines. They quickly enter battle, and though Kuzan initially freezes Garp in a ball of ice with his Devil Fruit powers, Garp frees himself and knocks Kuzan down with Blue Hole.
Meanwhile, on Winner Island, Blackbeard prepares to kill Law, having defeated the rest of the Heart Pirates and sunk the Polar Tang. Bepo, who is also critically wounded, attempts a last-resort attack, using a drug Chopper gave him to transform into his Sulong form. Transformed, he defeats both Blackbeard and Van Augur, and though he loses his Sulong form almost immediately after, he rescues Law and swims away carrying him, as Burgess throws boulders at them.
