Chapter 1045 of One Piece, titled “Next Level,” is the latest addition to the manga.
After Luffy’s devil fruit awakening, he and Kaidou are evenly matched. The manga art distorts to a more cartoonish style, showing just how ridiculously overpowered the two men are.
Luffy’s clothes turn white, and he turns into a giant. He grabs Kaidou in his dragon form like it’s nothing. He then uses his body as a jump rope.
Kaidou retaliates by burning Luffy and draining all of his energy. Still, Luffy manages to respawn and throws a strong punch that nearly knocks down Kaidou. How exactly is this hysterical battle going to end? We’ll find out in the next chapter of One Piece.
1. Chapter 1046 Discussions and Predictions
The latest chapter has created a sort of divide in the fandom. Some fans love the comedic style of fighting, saying that it goes well with Luffy’s Joy Boy persona, but some disagree, thinking that a serious moment was ruined due to the cartoonish style of the story.
It’s going to be interesting to see how the fight develops, especially since Luffy’s last punch seemed to have a scarring effect on Kaidou. Also, we haven’t seen Zoro in a while, so maybe we can see him in the next chapter, and hopefully, his return could bring back some seriousness to the fight.

5. Chapter 1045 Recap
After witnessing his body transformation, Kaidou deduces how Luffy’s powers are the trademark of Zoan powers. Luffy continues laughing, and this frustrates Kaidou. He decides to shut him up and swallows the Straw Hat.
Unfortunately for him, Luffy uses Gum-Gum and violently bounces inside Kaidou’s dragon form. He then inflates his boy like a balloon, making Kaidou shriek in pain. The dragon soars through the air, confused about his situation. He notices his inflation and remarks that his boy isn’t made of rubber.
Luffy finally shoots himself out of Kaidou’s body, revealing that he puffed air inside himself to plum up. He turns into a giant and crushes Kaidou under his foot. Kaidou bites him, but he grabs his snake-like body and uses it as a jump rope.
Kaidou uses his blast breath to burn Luffy, but this enrages the pirate, and he retaliates using his Gum-Gum punch. Kaidou readies his Ragnaraku attack and furiously crashes with Luffy. His punch lands perfectly on Luffy, and the pirate is reduced to his normal size.
As he recovers from the massive blow, Nami notices how Luffy turns white when his Gear 5 is activated.
Kaidou too, notices this and figures out how Luffy uses the colors of Armament and the Supreme King to transfer his power into other things. He is astonished since he has never seen such free-wheeling combat before.
The fight isn’t over yet, and despite having his energy drained out, Luffy picks himself up and gets ready to fight Kaidou again. This time, Kaidou hits him with his weapon and sends Luffy spiraling through the air.
As the chapter ends, Luffy takes this as an opportunity to gain momentum and knocks Kaidou down with a mighty punch.
