As we follow the adventures of Luffy and Kurohige throughout One Piece 1087, we witness a lot of surprises that constantly grab the attention of the fans. Among the many surprises in this episode, one moment stands out where Luffy and Kurohige were almost killed. This dangerous moment happened in the same Arc, caused by a powerful opponent. So, who was it that nearly succeeded in taking the lives of the Yonkou Luffy and Kurohige? Read on to find out what really happened in One Piece 1087.
Luffy and Kurohige are two of the main characters in One Piece. Both have faced many challenges and have been critically injured few times before. One of the most crippling situations was when they were both imprisoned in Impel Down. During that time, Luffy was there to save his brother Ace while Kurohige tried to recruit strong pirates who were being held captive in Level Six. Interestingly, both were defeated by the same person – Magellan.
Magellan, despite being just the Vice Head Warden of Impel Down, was strong enough to be equal or even stronger than an Admiral. This is mainly due to the powerful Paramecia devil fruit he has named Doku Doku no Mi. This fruit can produce poison in various forms and even coating his own body with deadly poison. As a result, Magellan was almost impossible to defeat by any ordinary fighters.
Only because of Shiryu giving Kurohige an antidote and Ivankov helping Luffy with certain medicinal treatment were they able to survive. Otherwise, it was certain that both of them would have died in One Piece 1087. However, Eiichiro Oda always gives plot armor to important characters like Luffy and Kurohige, who are essential for the final saga.
In conclusion, Magellan nearly caused the death of Luffy and Kurohige in One Piece 1087. With his Doku Doku no Mi fruit, he became almost invincible. Without the help of allies, Luffy and Kurohige’s fate would have been sealed.
