Summary of Chapter 1070
On the cover of One Piece Chapter 1070, titled “The Strongest Form of Humanity,” we see Dr Vegapunk, Caesar Judge, Queen, and a lady that looks like Stussy working together for the betterment of humanity and the globe (MADS). After Rob Lucci’s unexpected strike, the chapter opens with Luffy in Gear Five form running up to a downed Sentomaru. Sentomaru explains that he tried to prevent Lucci’s strike while Luffy was distracted, saying that he was not as ignorant and thoughtless as Luffy believes. Angry, Lucci interrupts, calling Sentomaru obstinate. As Lucci readies for another assault on Sentomaru, Luffy steps in and uses his Gum Gum Dawn Whip on him, sending him spinning around in circles but unable to recover. Jinbe shouts at Luffy that they need to get Atlas to Dr Vegapunk immediately to rescue her, but Luffy can’t come with Jinbe and Chopper since he can’t control his spinning.
Meanwhile, S-Hawk, seraphim, is slashing his way through CP0 foot troops with the help of S-Shark, who, to the astonishment of Kaku and Stussy, is using the abilities of the swim-swim fruit to halt their opponents. Franky breaks down in tears at Dr Vegapunk’s lab after seeing S-Shark employ his swim-swim fruit skills in battle; this reminded him of Senior Pink, a member of the Don Quixote family who possesses similar abilities. Franky asks if Senior Pink is dead because there can only be one devil fruit with the same ability, but Dr Vegapunk says he is alive and being imprisoned at Impel Down. Franky is now concerned that Dr Vegapunk may have developed an identical devil fruit. In reply, Dr Vegapunk reveals that while it’s rather simple to artificially make Zoan-type devil fruits, reproducing Logia has proven to be extremely difficult despite exhausting all possible methods. Dr Vegapunk explains to Franky that he has manufactured his own blood by synthesising the bloodline elements of the user of Paramecia-type devil fruits and then administering the blood to the user.
Franky is shocked to learn that Dr Vegapunk has made his own blood. Afterwards, S-Snake uses her Love Love Mellow abilities while S-Bear uses his Ursa Shock assault on the CP0 foot soldiers. According to Dr Vegapunk, the seraphims are the most advanced civilization in the history of the oceans and possess the greatest technological prowess. Sanji learns from this that the marines want to use the seraphims as a weapon against pirates like them. Sentomaru has returned to the battlefield and is holding firm despite Lucci’s onslaught. Now Luffy must intervene once more to defend Sentomaru from Lucci. An unexpected new move from Luffy results in an immediate victory over Lucci; he creates goggles out of thin air with the words “Gomu Gomu no Rocket.” Chopper, Jinbe, and Luffy follow S-orders Snake to board the vacuum rocket when Lucci faints so that they can rescue Atlas and meet Dr Vegapunk. As Jinbe and Sentomaru leave the island, Jinbe describes S-Snake as a gentler Boa Hancock, while Sentomaru abandons Dr Vegapunk in Luffy’s care. When Bonney finally comes to while travelling to Labophase on the vacuum rocket, she is taken aback by how old and frail Luffy seems to her.
All further expeditions were cancelled after their arrival in Labophase, the frontier dome was fortified, and the factory’s reserve workforce was evacuated to Fabriophase and locked down. When Sentomaru faints again on the battlefield, the CP0 gains complete command of the seraphim. While waiting for the marines, though, they continue to discuss how to deal with Dr Vegapunk. Once Nami and Usopp learn that the government is going to execute Dr Vegapunk due to his expertise, they question him at Labophase about his intentions for sending the Straw Hat Pirates to the island. Anyhow, they’re all pumped, but Franky more than anybody as he learns that Dr Vegapunk will be joining them on their island getaway. Chopper argues that it was not Dr Vegapunk’s fault, but Bonney sneers at him and says she wants Dr Vegapunk to restore her father to normal rather than answering with a swarm of bugs. By the end of the chapter, the CP0 has assumed control of the seraphim and Lucci has given orders for them to seal off any escape routes, monitor the island’s defences, and not let anyone (or anything) get out.
Kizaru is seen making his way to Egghead Island, where he announces that the Straw Hat Pirates have joined forces with Dr Vegapunk in order to make their escape. He also tells his soldiers to deploy as many battleships as they can to the island, saying that they will continue with the original plan.
