1044 is a great number for One Piece. Chapter 1044 was the introduction of 5th Gear, Episode 1044 was Demonio Fluer. I declare 1044 the One Piece number!! Do with that what you will.
I just watched one piece 1044 and just as I claimed a year before in this post, that the demonio fleur form definitely used Haki!!! I TOLD YA'LL!!
And I say this because聽 Robin ended up stopping a haki-empowered Orin knuckle punch (which is covered in poison mind you), which should not be possible for Robin as she usually tries to avoid such an attack.
JUST WATCHED ONE PIECE EPISODE 1044 AND HOLY SHIT AHHHGGGGG ROBIIIIINNN MY LOVE MY LIFE I AM ACTIVELY DISINTEGRATING BECAUSE OF HOW AMAZING THAT WAS!!!
