One Piece Episode 1007: Zoro's Pursuit! Ice Oni Tag!

The floor of Onigashima is a tableau of defeat. Daigoro, a member of the Atamayama Bandit Group, struggles to rise, his face a mask of pain. Around him, captains like Kazagake and Hotei lie unconscious, casualties of a grim battle. This is no ordinary skirmish; a deeper, more insidious enemy is at play here, taking hold of the very bodies of the warriors.

Hyogoro the Flower is next. His skin takes on a pale blue, icy sheen, his groans betraying immense suffering. He declares, "This is the power of the legendary Ice Oni!" The virus transforms him, and his words, tinged with a grim understanding, foreshadow the true horror that awaits. Other samurais watch, fear etched into their faces.

Kazagake, now also partially frozen blue, draws his sword with a chilling resolve. He understands what must be done. Hyogoro, desperate, screams for him to "Hurry, Kazagake! Kill me! If I become an Oni, I'll... guaah! Hurry! Don't hesitate! Kill me!" It is a plea for death over monstrosity, a desperate measure to protect his comrades from the inevitable. The other samurais cry out, torn between hope and horror.

Omasa, a blue-haired woman, clasps her face, tears streaming down. Her own face is partially frozen, a testament to the spreading plague. "Our families will be devoured by the Ice Oni!" she wails, her words encapsulating the terror. As she speaks, Hyogoro's frozen hand shatters, sharp claws appearing, then breaking away into ice shards. It is a stark, visual indicator of the virus's devastating progression.

Queen, in his monstrous Brachiosaurus hybrid form, bellows insults at the infected samurais. "You are already useless! You're trash!" he roars, finding perverse pleasure in their suffering. He swings his massive tail, carelessly destroying the wooden floor and scattering the helpless warriors. His taunts are not just words; they are an extension of the weapon he has unleashed.

Yatappe, a samurai, responds with fire in his eyes. "We won't just die like that!" he yells, his voice raw with defiance. Despite their injuries, despite the encroaching cold of the virus, the samurais refuse to yield their spirit. Queen looks on, his face a mixture of smugness and cruel amusement, sure of his victory.

Chopper, clad in his samurai helmet, steps forward. "No! I'm not gonna let that happen! We're not giving up!" he shouts, his small form radiating fierce determination. He swiftly prepares a syringe containing a glowing blue liquid. With urgent speed, he charges towards Hyogoro, delivering the injection, a desperate act of medical courage.

Hyogoro's frozen face glows blue, then his eyes sparkle, returning to normal. He drinks the liquid, his face shifting from surprise to profound relief. "It's working!" he exclaims. Omasa weeps tears of joy, and Kazagake watches in astonishment, his hand still on his sword, the averted tragedy almost unbelievable. Hyogoro's body shatters its icy prison, revealing him completely cured, to the cheers of the samurais.

Chopper, now filled with a righteous anger, glares at Queen. "You! You're gonna pay for this, Queen!" he yells. He explains his miracle: "I made an antidote! You hear me?! I used the smoke bomb to deliver it to everyone!" Queen is shocked, then enraged, his monstrous face twisting in disbelief. "What?! Impossible! You little brat!" he roars.

Chopper stands firm, his anger building. "You don't understand! This is not a game! This virus is not something to be used as a weapon!" he shouts. His body begins to glow blue and red, transforming before Queen's enraged eyes. He erupts into his formidable Monster Point, letting out a primal roar, ready to meet the architect of the plague face-to-face.
