Episode 1001 recap
Meanwhile, in One Piece Episode 1001, X Drake asked Hawkins if now was a good chance, but the latter did not believe in any chances.
He planned to slice any enemies who would come his way, per OtakuKart News. X Drake talked about Hawkins’ loyalty to Kaido and wondered if he was only forced to do what he did after Apoo fooled him.
X Drake was aware of Hawkins, Captain Kid and Apoo’s alliance, but the latter betrayed them. He believed Hawkins did not want to join the Animal Kingdom Pirates, making the villain doubt if X Drake had something to do with the betrayal.
X Drake continued to talk about the man who only had a one percent chance of survival. He then received a call from King, who summoned all the Tobi Roppo members.
Ulti saw King as boring, wondering what he wanted. However, King reminded them that the situation had already changed.
He then discussed the annual Fire Festival and how they let the Akazaya Samurai attack Onigashima.
From here, King reminded them of Yama and the one who would bring Kaido’s child would fight them to be the Lead Performers.
Anyhow, as Kaido was at the rooftop, they had to block the enemies coming on his way first. Who’s Who then visited X Drake.
He reminded him about an opportunity and asked if he would come with him. As X Drake wondered where Who’s Who was going, he learned he would face Queen and did not want anything to do with it.
What happens from here can be seen when One Piece Episode 1002 drops on Sunday, Dec. 5.
