One Piece Episode 1062, in which a decisive confrontation between Roronoa Zoro and King takes place.
In the depths of Onigashima, Zoro fights King with his swords, relentlessly striking the pirate. Although his attacks initially seem futile, a crack in the armor is revealed when Zoro lands a rare hit that slightly damages King's mask. This surprising event prompts Zoro to reflect and consider what he did differently to achieve such an outcome.
During this intense mid-battle analysis, Zoro tries to evade King's fierce attacks and recalls the specific moment that made the difference. In a bold move, Zoro counters an attack and slices through King's entire mask with a swift strike. His observation pays off: King is vulnerable when the flame on his back extinguishes during his high-speed attacks.
When one of the Beast Pirate crew members sees King's unveiled face, a strange revelation occurs. Recognizing King as a Lunarian, he reveals that reporting such a discovery to the World Government could earn an enormous bounty of 100 million Berries. Before he can report King as a Lunarian, King silences him and the others, setting the rooftop ablaze. Seeing the escalating flames, Zoro suggests moving the fight outside.
Outside, under the open sky, Zoro feels the diminishing effect of his sword Enma. He understands the urgency of ending the duel quickly. However, King remains determined and declares that he wants to see Kaido become the King of the Pirates. This exchange leads King into a flashback of his time as a young prisoner named Alber in a laboratory on Punk Hazard.
In the depths of Punk Hazard, the young King endures agonizing flame tests due to his unique Lunarian heritage. Kaido, also a test subject, escapes and encounters King. Recognizing King as a Lunarian, Kaido frees him and offers him a place in his pirate crew to "make the world more interesting." King, now calling himself Alber, accepts Kaido's offer and vows to serve as his right-hand man.
Back in the present, King reaffirms his promise to make Kaido the King and launches another offensive. Zoro, having deciphered King's power mechanism, anticipates the incoming attack. After an intense exchange of blows, Zoro manages to slash King from chest to stomach, proving he has mastered King's abilities.
Their duel grows more intense as King unleashes a series of fiery dragon-head attacks. Zoro demonstrates his unyielding spirit by cutting through each dragon head. When King attempts a final flaming sword thrust, Zoro counters, bringing the fierce confrontation to an end.
On the verge of losing consciousness, King recalls his last conversation with Kaido. He remembers his vow to make Kaido the King of the Pirates because he believes Kaido is the returned Joyboy. Meanwhile, Zoro also recalls his promise to Luffy after his encounter with Hawkeye—to never suffer defeat again.
The scene ends with King falling unconscious from Onigashima, while Zoro uses the recoil of his sword to catapult himself back onto the island. A truly gripping episode that showcases Zoro's unwavering determination and King's unshakable loyalty. It is a testament to the power of promises and the lengths one would go to keep them.[/quote]
