One Piece Episode 1109 Features the Most Unexpected Moment

One Piece Episode 1109 starts with the Straw Hat Pirates and Vegapunk’s satellites finding out that they can no longer control the Seraphim as they are hellbent on destroying everyone. While the other crew members deal with S-Snake and S-Shark, Luffy and Zoro find themselves fighting against S-Hawk and S-Bear, while they also try to save the handcuffed CP0 agents.

Zoro’s previous fight with S-Hawk made it look like Zoro might have a chance against the Seraphim, but in the current episode, Zoro discovers that S-Hawk has additional abilities, one of which is the power of Dice-Dice fruit, which was previously used by Daz Bonez, one of the strongest members of the former Baroque Works.

These newfound powers prove to be difficult for not only Zoro but also Luffy. While Zoro tries to beat S-Hawk in hand-to-hand combat, Luffy also tries to attack S-Hawk simultaneously, but Seraphim keeps dodging Luffy’s attack. This feels a little humiliating, as Luffy right now is currently at his strongest, and ideally, he should be able to land an attack on S-Hawk.
