Episode 991 tracks Perospero's lone approach to Onigashima, Big Mom's hunt for Zeus that breaks off her duel with Chopper's tank, and Luffy's hostile refusal to trust Yamato simply because he is the son of the Emperor Kaidou.
Summary
Furious over his ship's repeated falls, Perospero rides a candy slug to Onigashima vowing payback against King and Marco. Big Mom abandons her clash with Chopper to seek Zeus, freeing the tank to reconfigure. Inside the castle, Robin and Jinbe blend in, Orochi readies Momonosuke's execution, and Luffy lashes out at Yamato over his parentage.
Key Events
Big Mom, unharmed by the tank's barrage, leaves on Prometheus's word, and the Brachio Tank activates a switch turning it into the lower half of General Franky, which Chopper must unite with the Kurosai FR-U IV. Nami flees into the performance hall with Zeus to dodge Big Mom's homie-making search. Robin and Jinbe spot Hyougoro among the crowd and she downs a drunken harasser, just as Orochi appears on the balcony with Momonosuke bound to a cross, to Kaidou's annoyance at the interrupted feast. Zoro, cornered by Gifters offering him a place in the crew, refuses and cuts them down. After the medics revive Ulti and Page One recovers from his dislocated jaw to chase Yamato, Luffy unleashes attacks on Yamato, who only defends and is reminded of his past fight with Ace.
Notes
The anime adds Big Mom's continued chase and her tank strike, her departure once Prometheus locates Nami, Robin and Jinbe reaching the Skull Dome, and Kaidou criticizing Orochi. Luffy breaking free of Yamato's grip and a brief flashback of Yamato versus Ace are included, while the Gifters' pitch to Zoro and the surrounding fights are extended.
