One Piece's 1128th episode pulls Saint Saturn into the fray, cutting off the Vegatank-08's retreat once Sanji saves Bonney. Luffy spends the last of his Gear 5 to fell Kizaru, and a seething Bonney charges Saturn for his part in stealing Kuma's free will.
With the Pacifistas now firing on the Marines, Vegapunk's party takes the Vegatank-08 downward in search of Bonney, and Sanji peels off to track her. Trying to keep out of sight, Bonney is found out: Pomsky, a vice admiral, catches sight of her, and Bluegrass turns her Devil Fruit on a Pacifista to make it open fire on the girl. Sanji whisks her away as several Pacifistas pin Pomsky and Bluegrass down, and the two climb back toward the Labophase. Luffy and Zoro remain locked with Kizaru and Lucci when an otherworldly dread settles over them, Saturn priming his power. He overrides Vegapunk to freeze the Pacifistas, comes ashore, and his awakened fruit reshapes him into a Gyuki, a bull spider, leading Doberman to wave lower-ranking Marines clear.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

When I first decided to commit to watching One Piece seriously, I knew I was embarking on one of anime's longest and most beloved series. With over 100...
Kizaru leaves Luffy to chase Vegapunk, blasting the Island Cloud path and bumping the tank off its line; Luffy's retaliating hit draws Saturn's notice, who marks him as Nika reborn just before the captain's Gear 5 fails and he drops from exhaustion. The tank then crashes near Saturn, and Bonney, aware he gave the order to strip Kuma's free will, seizes a sword and rushes him in a rage. The adaptation has the Pacifistas keep Bluegrass, along with Pomsky, pinned down long enough for Sanji and Bonney to flee aboard the Vegatank-08. New moves arrive for Bonney and Pomsky, alongside the debuts of the Nori Nori no Mi and Rako Rako no Mi.
Saint Saturn's strength is shown in Episode 1128 when his awakened Devil Fruit reshapes him into a towering bull spider form, and his mere presence inspires such dread in Luffy and Zoro that Doberman clears lower ranking Marines out of the area.
