Warning: This article section contains major spoilers from One Piece Episode 1075!
In the previous episode of One Piece (1075), the two fighters started preparing their attacks that would put an end to their battle. Luffy, who's still in his Gear 5th form, formed a massive fist and imbued it with Busoshoku and Haoshoku Haki. The move obviously had an incredible amount of destructive power as the size of the fist dwarfed the island of Onigashima.
The powerful villain realized that the next attack would decide the outcome of the fight. Kaido created a huge flame dragon much larger than his own body in order to counter Luffy's Bajrang Gun. The dragon was emanating heat that was so intense, it would have disintegrated an ordinary person. The heat also affected Luffy, but he endured the pain and attacked Kaido with his Bajrang Gun. The episode also featured a flashback that showed the condition of Wando under Orochi's rule.
Since Episode 1076 is expected to conclude Luffy and Kaido's battle, it's fair to assume that it will give viewers a glimpse into the Yonko's past. Kaido is one of the most ruthless villains in One Piece, and it would be interesting to see how he became that way. Expect the ending of the fight to be spectacular as fans are hyped to see more of Luffy' Gear 5th form in action.
