Episode 627 of One Piece, set in the filler Caesar Retrieval Arc, has Breed reveal his plan to turn all of humanity into animals. He forces Luffy and Law into a duel that ends when the Kung Fu Dugong knocks both pirates into the sea.
Summary
Breed spells out his ambition: with an artificial Devil Fruit, he intends to reshape every person on earth into an animal. Toward that end, he forces the two captains, Luffy and Law, into a duel inside an arena-like chamber. The Kung Fu Dugong begs him to stop the bout, and Breed grants the plea only by perverting it, directing the Dugong to take on the two pirates himself. The forced struggle ends as the Dugong's strike hurls both Luffy and Law off the towering ship and down into the water.
Key Events
The episode discloses that Breed's old crew betrayed him, sharpening the sense of how alone he is. Caesar appears fitted with one of the obedience collars, while Breed grows fixated on Chopper, dubbing him Chappy and putting him in a dress. As for his SMILE, Breed already holds one and presses Caesar to produce additional fruits, the means by which he hopes to animalize mankind. In the disorder, Caesar slips away from his captor for the time being.
Notes
This is anime-original filler with no underlying manga chapter, and the wiki's long summary stays an empty section. It introduces Luffy's non-canon move Gomu Gomu no Seiken Zuki. A production slip surfaces in the Funimation dub, where the filter normally laid over Chopper's Monster Point voice goes missing from every line but one. The next episode's preview runs shorter than its usual length.
