On Tuesday, December 6th, new spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1069 were leaked, coming from the chief series leaker Redon via the WorstGen forums. After the first spoiler release debacle, fans now have a much clearer understanding of the forthcoming issue thanks to this synopsis. Redon’s spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1069 appear to be as reliable as they come, which is to be expected given the series’ primary leak source. In addition, the hints dropped by Redon’s spoilers build a picture of a highly anticipated issue that does a lot of cool things, including exploring the history of Devil Fruits and showcasing Rob Lucci in his Awakened state.
New Spoilers for Chapter 1069
Additional spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1069 begin with the issue’s headline, “Everything Exists for a Reason.” After pointing out that “The God of Fortune” Du Feld is the source of funding for the MADS Research Center (shown on the cover), they debate the issue. He is one of the guests Big Mom invited to her Tea Party Wedding celebration, and he goes by the name “Loan Shark King.” Along the arc, Stussy ends up being responsible for his death.
The issue’s spoilers then kick-off, off with Lucci attempting to assault Luffy. As Kaku and Stussy intervene, Lucci is reminded that fighting a Yonko without first obtaining authorization from Marine Headquarters might lead to a full-scale conflict.
But when he realises how badly the Atlas has been hit, Luffy can’t help but rush in and tackle Lucci first. Additional spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1069 shift focus to Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, formerly Admiral Akainu, in Marine Headquarters. When Akainu inquires about Kizaru, a Marine replies that he has already left for Egghead Island. Sadly, the show cuts away from Akainu’s reaction in order to return to Egghead Island. Meanwhile, back on Egghead, a battle rages between Luffy (in Gear 5) and Lucci (in Awakened form). His black hair tufts in his Awakened form resemble clouds or flames, much like in his hybrid form. In addition, he wears a black cloud scarf around his neck, much like Luffy does in Gear 5 and Gear 4. In One Piece Chapter 1069, we see Sentomaru show up with S-Snake, S-Hawk, and S-Shark, and then command S-Bear, the Kuma Seraphim, to attack CP0.
It is revealed here that Sentomaru must be physically present to provide commands to the Seraphim rather than using Den Den Mushi. The Gorosei, the Vegapunk, the Sentomaru, and whoever has the control chip are listed in order of increasing influence over the Seraphim. To date, CP0 has been identified as the owner of the control chip. As they flee with Bonney in tow, Jinbe and Chopper encounter the Seraphim. Seeing the S-Shark replica, which is modelled on Jinbe, causes Jinbe a great deal of shock, as revealed in One Piece spoilers for Chapter 1069. Meanwhile, Kaku and Stussy are attempting to escape S-strikes Bear’s so they don’t have to fight back and maybe harm the Seraphim. Meanwhile, Nami’s crew is watching on monitors, and they are astounded to see Luffy’s Gear 5 for the first time.
Next thing they know, the genuine Dr Vegapunk himself stands before them, and Franky’s heart melts at the realisation that this elderly guy is, in fact, the man he’s been looking for. Spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1069 show Dr Vegapunk inquiring of the Straw Hats about Luffy’s new appearance. Nami chimes in to say they aren’t sure either, but they suspect it’s some sort of undiscovered Gum-Gum Fruit superpower. The Gum-Gum Fruit, however, “has never been recorded in the old Devil Fruit encyclopaedia,” as Dr Vegapunk retorts. Next, Dr Vegapunk comments on how Luffy’s new appearance resembles Nika, an obscure deity mentioned exclusively in ancient books. Even if Nika’s identity is wiped from records, Dr Vegapunk adds, his legacy will live on as long as people keep hoping for him. Dr Vegapunk elaborates, adding that human desires are responsible for the existence of everything on Earth, including, astonishingly, Devil Fruits.
Then, in One Piece Chapter 1069, Dr Vegapunk reveals that Devil Fruits are the wished-for development of humanity. He elaborates that every talent is a yearning for what one can become. However, saltwater is the weakness of all Devil Fruits since the ocean hates such unnatural intentions. Based on his research, Dr Vegapunk has come to the conclusion that everyone with an ability and that curse is effectively living out the future that someone once longed for. Incredulous, Nami and her fellow Straw Hats say nothing while Dr Vegapunk raves about what a great place they’ve found. During his battle with Lucci, though, Luffy can be seen grinning and smiling as he wildly leaps around and having a good time, all the while evading the latter’s strikes.
Luffy then uses the new Gum-Gum Mole move in One Piece Chapter 1069, which transforms the ground into a fist and hits Lucci in the stomach. In the final moments, before he takes off, Lucci is depicted coughing blood as he flies away, while Luffy unexpectedly spots Sentomaru. Even though he’s bouncing about, he slows down to welcome his former opponent. Sentomaru reveals that he owes a big obligation to Dr Vegapunk since he was picked up by the doctor and freed from a life of poverty. He then requests that Luffy remove Dr Vegapunk from the situation and reveals why he opted to fight against CP0. Rob Lucci, however, has been busy healing from Luffy’s most recent strike while the two have been conversing.
Additional spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1069 show Lucci charging at the two with a Soru. Next, he uses a Finger Pistol to launch a vicious assault on Sentomaru, severely wounding the latter in the process. Since Sentomaru has more control power than him, Lucci reveals, his original objective was to eliminate him so that CP0 could take charge of the Seraphim. At the end of the issue, Luffy expresses his amazement and anger, and his concern for Sentomaru as he declares a hiatus till next week.
