One Piece Chapter 1027: An Unbelievable Disaster

00AI-written

The title and cover request page gives the chapter title as "Chapter 1027: An Unbelievable Disaster." The cover request by Tomokiya reads, "Roger flees after doodling on a lion's face." Gol D. Roger runs away laughing with a brush in hand while a lion roars behind him with markings drawn on its face. This is cover-request material rather than chapter narrative, but it preserves the title and request, so it is useful extra material.

The moon gleams over Onigashima after the previous clash cleared the sky. Carrot and Wanda rush to Nekomamushi, calling, "Master Nekomamushi!!" and warning, "Careful, Carrot, the sky suddenly got clear... You don't want to accidentally turn Sulong." Carrot wonders what happened. Yamato looks up at the split clouds and says this is just like what happened in the journal: the clashes between Whitebeard and Roger also split the heavens. The page links Luffy and Kaido's clash to the legendary level of Roger and Whitebeard, while the restored moonlight explains how Nekomamushi's victory was possible.

Yamato finishes the thought: those clashes would also "split the heavens!!" On the rooftop, Kaido and Luffy face each other beneath the moon as debris trembles from the force. The shock is felt below, where fighters ask, "Whoa! What was that tremor?!" and "What the hell's going on up there?!" Kaido and Luffy stare each other down in silence after the sky-splitting collision. The page emphasizes that the clash has become more than a loud impact: everyone on Onigashima can feel the turning point from the rooftop.

Yamato, injured and bleeding, admits, "Agh... His Thunder Bagua... I was naive to think I could guard myself..." Luffy calls out, "Yamabro!!" Momonosuke tries to leave with Yamato, saying, "Give that sniveling snake a hand!!" Luffy yells that Momo still has not gotten a grip, while Momo insists, "Wh-who are you calling sniveling?! Hold your insolent tongue!! I know what I have to do, but it is not that simple to change oneself!!" Yamato says not to worry and apologizes for getting split up earlier. Kaido turns his attention to both Yamato and Momonosuke, recognizing them together on the battlefield.

Kaido attacks as Momonosuke and Yamato try to break away, demanding, "Where do you think you're going?!" Momonosuke screams while Yamato tells him, "Lend me your strength, Kin'emon, Kiku!! Take Momonosuke-sama and run!!" Luffy and Kaido clash again, and Yamato urges, "Hurry, Momonosuke-kun!!" The page shows Yamato trying to separate the missions: Luffy must keep Kaido occupied, while Yamato and Momo must leave the rooftop and deal with the island itself.

Yamato grabs onto Momonosuke as Luffy tells Kaido to "Hold it!" Luffy cries, "Yamabro...!" and Yamato says, "I know, I know!! You want him all to yourself, right?" Luffy grins and answers, "Yep!!" Momo panics as they fall away, screaming, "Waaaaaaah, this is the end!!" Yamato tells him, "Try and grab onto the sky!!" Momo does not understand, asking what to grab because dragons do not actually fly. Yamato prepares to explain the secret of how dragons move through the air.

Yamato explains that dragons do not fly in the ordinary sense: "They conjure clouds... to use as footholds!!" Momo begins using them, and Yamato calls the technique "Flame Clouds." As he moves, the caption names it "Dragons Dash... through the sky!!" Momo realizes, "I'm flying!!" Yamato then looks back toward Onigashima and shouts, "Get away from the island!!" At the edge of the skull dome, rubble starts to fall and people look up in confusion. The page gives Momo the mechanism he needs for his next task while revealing that the island itself is becoming unstable.

Onigashima begins to crumble. Momonosuke cries, "What?!" as pieces fall away, while Yamato realizes what it means: "His Flame Clouds are unstable... Kaido's powers are weakening!! They can't support the bedrock anymore!!" The page shows the floating island breaking apart beneath them, with Momo and Yamato dwarfed by the mass of rock and debris. Kaido's weakening is good news for the fight, but it also creates an immediate disaster because the power holding Onigashima in the sky is failing.

Momonosuke realizes, "This is bad!!" Yamato says they cannot allow Onigashima to reach the Flower Capital like this. Momo answers, "I got big so I could stop it!!" but Yamato snaps, "It's no use, Momonosuke-kun!" When Momo protests that he has to try because they are running out of time, Yamato points out that they can already see the capital and says it will be over their heads in under five minutes. Yamato explains that this is how Kaido is moving the island in the first place: Momo must use his own Flame Clouds. If Momo's clouds are stronger, they can hold Onigashima back. Momo panics that he only just figured out how to fly and is barely managing even that.

Yamato warns that there is no telling whether Momo's powers are exactly like Kaido's, but because Momo was able to summon Flame Clouds, he has a shot. Yamato calls the situation "an unbelievable disaster." If nothing is done, Onigashima will land like Kaido intended, crushing everyone in the capital. If Kaido runs out of strength too early, his clouds will disappear and Onigashima will hurtle toward the surface. Yamato adds that the whole island is basically a giant bomb, stocked with more weapons and gunpowder than Momo can imagine. Even at their current distance, there would be no time to evacuate the capital.

Yamato says that if Onigashima falls, the explosion would obliterate everyone, friends and foes alike. Momo starts to say they need to tell Luffy, but Yamato stops him: Luffy is the only one who can defeat Kaido, and telling him about this dilemma would only add to his burden. Momo argues that Kaido willingly put everything on his shoulders and that if Luffy can barely stand, how can they stop him afterward? Yamato concludes, "We'll have to figure it out on our own!!" Momo and Yamato accept that saving the capital and stopping the falling island is their responsibility, separate from Luffy's duel.

The scene shifts to the live floor in the skull dome, where King goes wild. Fighters shout, "Get down!! King-sama's gone wild!" as King tears through the hall. The battle crashes through pillars and walls while bystanders scatter. Zoro watches King closely, growling as King unleashes destructive attacks across the floor. The page transitions from the island-scale disaster back into a commander fight: while Yamato and Momo deal with Onigashima, Zoro has to survive a furious King.

King's attack throws Zoro through the area, and Franky notices, "Oh!?" Zoro is driven backward, but Franky asks, "You okay?" and "Need a hand?" Zoro answers, "Nah, I'm good!" while panting. He admits King is pretty strong, though that is hardly a surprise. Franky asks whether Zoro is having trouble on the live floor, but Zoro refuses assistance. The page shows Zoro taking King seriously without giving up the one-on-one fight, even after being battered across the battlefield.

Zoro taunts King, shouting, "Hey, King, you bastard!! Knock it off with those aimless attacks!! You almost hit my backside!!" King answers coldly that it is a pity he did not slit Zoro's throat. Zoro fires back, "The hell you say?!" and "Pirate Hunter Zoro..." Fighters nearby gasp that Zoro just cracked King-san's mask. Franky notes that no one has ever seen King's real face, and Sanji says no wonder he is furious. King stands in the smoke with his damaged mask, silently radiating anger. The mystery of King's face becomes part of the fight's tension.

King attacks with "Tankyudon," and Zoro warns, "Sorry, Franky, I need you to step back!" Franky answers, "Got it!! Hang in there!!" Zoro meets the attack with "Three-Sword Style... Ultra... Tiger Hunt!!" while King counters with "Divine Red Bow!!" The techniques collide violently, blasting through the skull dome and sending debris everywhere. King's masked face reacts sharply as the clash forces the fight toward the edge of the island.

The force of King's attack blasts Zoro through the outer wall and out toward open air. Zoro looks down and realizes he is being thrown off Onigashima. He shouts, "Wha--?! Hang on!!" as he tumbles away from the skull dome with rocks and debris around him. King watches from the broken wall, intent on knocking Zoro completely off the island rather than merely winning ground inside the dome.

Zoro admits, "I'm gonna fall!!" then switches to "Two-Sword Style... Clear Lance!!" The translator note says "Kanji means Sky Tanuki." The technique launches him back toward solid ground, and Zoro pants, "That was close!!" King remarks, "You should at least use a blade when you go for the kill!! What you just pulled is unforgivable!!" Zoro looks back at King's cracked mask and answers, "The same goes for you..." A final caption asks, "What's beneath the mask...?" and the chapter ends on the mystery of King's hidden face.
