In the 1026th One Piece episode the Scabbards finish off the serpentine Orochi while the rookie crews coordinate a plan that neutralizes Big Mom's homies and sends her tumbling off the roof of Onigashima.
Summary
Still spreading fire through the castle with Fukurokuju, Orochi heads for the explosives store but collides with the remaining Nine Red Scabbards. Fukurokuju offers to take them on, yet Orochi insists on fighting personally and morphs into his many-headed Yamata no Orochi shape. The samurai cut away each of his heads, and Kin'emon severs the central one, dropping the shogun at last.
Key Events
On the rooftop the two Emperors press their assault, Kaidou against Luffy and Big Mom against everyone else. Unable to wound either monarch directly, the rookies switch to crippling Big Mom's animated companions. Law seals Zeus inside a metal box forged by Kid, Zoro carves Prometheus into fragments, and Killer harries Napoleon to keep him occupied. With none of her homies able to help, Law and Zoro shove Big Mom past the island's rim, sending her plunging toward the sea below.
Notes
The anime lengthens the defensive moves both Emperors use against the Supernovas, adds Law deploying Curtain to shield himself, and shows Kid landing his Punk Pistol while Big Mom's back is turned. Zoro is depicted coughing up blood after his finishing slash, and after Kid's Repel launches her off the island she briefly touches down with a foot before Zoro cuts it away. Unlike the manga, the episode skips Orochi learning that Denjiro is Kyoshiro. It falls within the Wano Country Arc.
