One Piece episode 1064: Luffy faces off against Kaido while the Five Elders remain apprehensive about the raid

One Piece episode 1064, Drunken Dragon Bagua! The Lawless Dragon Closing in on Luffy, was released earlier today, on June 4, in Japan. While the previous couple of episodes focused on various Straw Hat members, like Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp, the attention has now shifted back to the captain, Monkey D. Luffy.

Undoubtedly, the most interesting part of the episode is the fight between Kaido and Luffy. As seen in the previous episode, the two fighters have been enjoying themselves quite a lot. However, the tone of their battle has changed significantly in the latest episode, as Kaido does something very unexpected.

As fans may note, the episode contains a little bit of everything -- intense fight sequences, humor, lore, and, most significantly, the ability to create excitement about the series' future. As the raid nears its conclusion, it seems that there are some bigger events that are expected to take place.

After some intense exchange of blows between Luffy and Kaido in One Piece episode 1064, the latter is seen pausing to admire the weather and express regret for missing the banquet. Thus, he decides to start drinking, dismissing the accusation that it will weaken him.

Kaido's drunken behavior stands in stark contrast to his previously shown intimidating demeanor. This sequence is well-executed by the production team because neither Luffy nor the viewers can perceive Kaido to be a significant threat when he is intoxicated.

However, this results in Luffy's inability to concentrate on the fight, and Kaido effortlessly inflicts damage on the Straw Hat captain while evading most of his attacks. Furthermore, Kaido's Haki becomes stronger while he is drunk.

Meanwhile, in One Piece episode 1064, the Five Elders at Sacred Marijoa are visibly preoccupied. First and foremost, they are concerned about the Reverie, which has been infiltrated.

Their greatest headache, though, is a legendary Devil Fruit that has eluded them for centuries, lying dormant. It is also revealed that the World Government renamed the Devil Fruit in order to bury its true identity.
