As we saw in the prior chapter, Luffy and Lucci were locked in combat, and despite having the upper hand, Luffy tried to flee the situation by running away. Also, that makes sense, as rescuing Vegapunk is currently their top priority. It has now been revealed that the focus of Chapter 1071 will switch to the battle between Zoro and Kaku and that Garp, Kid and his crew, and Kuma will all make an appearance in the next chapter.
Hints for One Piece Chapter 1071
Titled “A Hero Appears,” the next chapter introduces Uta and the Straw Hat Crew. Everyone in the Red Line goes into a frenzy when they sight the genuine Kuma at the Red Port. Kuma approaches the emblem of World Government that may be seen next to the elevator that leads from the harbour to Mary Geoise. The action then moves to Egghead Island, where Stussy makes a remark about Lucci, who isn’t going to follow Marine’s command and is planning an attack on Luffy and Vegapunk instead. As a result of Lucci’s ire, CPO agents have blocked off all access to the ports and ships on Egghead Island.
He makes the remark that he doesn’t think of Straw Hat as Yonko. The Vegapunks have finished their preparations in the lab and are now prepared to board the Sunny. According to Edison, there is still one more person on Egghead Island who might aid them, but he won’t try to contact them because doing so would be the end of their time on the island and the beginning of a hunt by the World Government. But true Vegapunk accepts their support and gives them a call nevertheless. There is no visual confirmation of who is speaking to Vegapunk in Den Den Mushi, but they seem to be quite kind and agree to take care of CPO while Vegapunk is away. The Frontier Dome vanishes without a trace, and the control room is helpless to stop it. Lucci thinks he’s walked into a trap since everyone looks so bewildered and scared.
While Pythagoras reverses the Frontier Dome’s direction, CPO utilises Geppou to get to the lab. However, CPO has already penetrated the inside. Kaku is given orders by Lucci to eliminate Thousand Sunny when CPO spots it at the Labophase’s entrance. But Zoro blocks his Rankyaku, and the two of them fight, with Kaku looking visibly shaken. However, Robin now knows that the actual Vegapunk has vanished and that Luffy, Chopper, and Jinbe have rejoined the gang. The genuine Vegapunk is shown in the lab, where Bonny is pursuing him, in the next panel. She launches an assault on Vegapunk, who responds by asking her to shut up and listen.
He explains that he is unable to stop Kuma because of certain circumstances. We return to Kid and his crew as they travel toward Elbaf, where Kid appears to be quite eager to arrive. Garp and Vise Admiral Doll are having a Den Den Mushi-mediated argument in Marine Base G-14, with Doll claiming that all the ships must return to Egghead Island because they can’t utilise any of their forces anyplace else at the present. By the chapter’s end, Garp has made it to G-14 port, where he finds a distraught Helmeppo and Hibari and gives them orders to fight for Koby’s life.
