Though Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump wasn’t being published that week, spoilers and raw scans for One Piece Chapter 1071 were leaked online all week. However, the spoiler process carried on, as usual, delivering what many fans assume to be reliable information regarding the matter. More than that, the issue was tremendously thrilling and rich, establishing a plethora of potential story threads for the series that readers can’t wait to get into. One of the most significant narrative developments in One Piece Chapter 1071, however, may have been missed by readers due to the chapter’s confusing setup and sparse explanations. The real Bartholomew Kuma’s triumphant return in Chapter 1071 of One Piece was a climactic event.
In One Piece Chapter 1071, when the situation for the island’s escapees grows virtually hopeless, Dr Vegapunk turns to an unknown ally who lives on Egghead Island for aid. An ally, the Den Den Mushi characteristics of which were obscured, assures Dr Vegapunk of their assistance, adding that they had been expecting such an instruction all along. The Vegapunk Satellites appear to know who this unknown ally is, but the Straw Hats and readers aren’t told. hence fans are left wondering who this ally may be. Several clues have been dropped thus far that suggests the genuine Bartholomew Kuma is the ally, so at least this speculation isn’t completely groundless. The first clue that this is the case appears long before One Piece Chapter 1071 and concerns Dr Vegapunk’s seeming uncertainty about Bonney’s wrath over the death of her father. He seems to feel neither remorse nor sadness for his role in transforming Kuma into a cyborg and even lacks the decency to express compassion to Bonney.
This is corroborated by later events in this issue, in which Bonney asks Dr Vegapunk whether he can restore her father to normalcy. That pains Dr Vegapunk to say it, but he “simply can’t,” and he explains why. Initially, many viewers assumed this was because the “genuine” Kuma, the one that landed on the Red Line, still had unfinished business.
Many readers of One Piece Chapter 1071 have come to the conclusion that the actual Kuma is still alive and well despite what Dr Vegapunk said in his explanation. They claim that Dr Vegapunk created a Pacifista to pass for the genuine Kuma instead of a cyborg with no emotions or free will. Given that Admiral Kizaru is also on his way to Egghead Island, this would be another parallel to the arc in the Sabaody Archipelago. While Sabaody expected Kizaru to come after the Straw Hats, Egghead believed that Kizaru and CP0 would attack, with Kuma sending the Straw Hats away to protect them.
This would also clarify why the “genuine” Bartholomew Kuma’s rescue and return, as well as his present actions, have been such focal points of the Egghead Island narrative. The fact that fans have no idea why the real Kuma would want to go back to Mariejois after having just escaped may be the strongest indicator of all that this isn’t the real Kuma.
The fact that the Den Den Mushi’s characteristics are obscured in Chapter 1071 of One Piece lends credence to this theory, or at least to the possibility that this unknown ally was introduced in an earlier chapter. Since the character design for a new character would already be set, series creator and artist Eiichiro Oda would have had no need to debut Ryokugyu as a silhouette. All of this speculation is based on unrevealed elements from the most recent chapter and the ones before it. The possibility exists that Dr Vegapunk’s unknown ally isn’t the genuine Bartholomew Kuma, but there are nearly too many indicators that go in the opposite direction.
Latest Spoilers for Chapter 1071
In Chapter 1071 of One Piece, Marshall D. Teach faces a formidable opponent in the form of Monkey D. Garp. Blackbeard effectively declared war on the Marines when he kidnapped poor Koby. In Chapter 1071 of One Piece, Garp made his goals very apparent. He plans to rescue his old apprentice by defeating Blackbeard. Naturally, it’s simpler to say than to really accomplish. The Hero of the Marines, however, possesses the ideal blend of talents to go up against Blackbeard. According to Chapter 1071 of One Piece, Garp is one of the few people capable of countering the effects of the Devil Fruit. After Chapter 1071 of One Piece, Blackbeard has a few obstacles to overcome before he can defeat Garp.
Haki is the true winner-loser indicator
Kaido, before being defeated by Luffy in the Wano Country arc, said that Haki, and not merely potent Devil Fruits, is what makes the best warriors. He mentioned Gol D. Roger in particular, who is said to have mastered the whole Grand Line without the use of any extraordinary abilities. After all, Garp is one of the few people who could stand up to the late Pirate King. In One Piece Chapter 1071, this shows just how formidable he is. Know that even though Whitebeard is now using the same Devil Fruit as Blackbeard does, Roger could hold his own against him in his prime. Even if the Gura Gura no Mi causes strong tremors, Garp should be able to handle them just well as Roger can. This isn’t to suggest that it wouldn’t cause problems; nonetheless, there is precedent for a character to do so utilising solely Haki.
Even in the face of the Yami Yami no Mi, Garp can hold his own
After the events in Chapter 1071 of One Piece, Blackbeard should be nervous about fighting Garp. Blackbeard frequently uses the Yami Yami no Mi to counter the Devil Fruit abilities his opponents rely on by simply making contact with them. This signature ability, however, is completely ineffective when used against Garp. Blackbeard may still use the black vortex to ingest things by means of gravity. However, unlike others who consume Devil Fruit, he does not have a natural-born opponent in Garp and hence cannot employ that advantage. Unlike his counterpart on the Portgas D. Ace, Garp will never have to worry about his abilities being taken away from him. After the events in Chapter 1071 of One Piece, Blackbeard will need to adjust his strategy while facing Garp. It may be argued that his Devil Fruit really hurts him in this matchup. In battle, Blackbeard takes additional damage since he may absorb harsh blows accidentally, even from Garp’s lethal strikes.
Therefore, Blackbeard is favoured to defeat Garp
There’s a good reason why many people think that the death hints in Chapter 1071 of One Piece are intentional. When plotted out, Blackbeard can’t possibly lose to Garp before facing Luffy. The latter conflict is the result of years of gradual escalation. It’s high time that the younger generation took the lead. One Piece, Chapter 1059, features Silvers Rayleigh’s own words about the matter. Rayleigh would have been vanquished if Blackbeard had maintained his assault on Amazon Lily, according to Roger’s strongest crewmate.
Even while Garp is still a formidable opponent in One Piece Chapter 1071, he has long since passed his peak. Nonetheless, Blackbeard’s low tactics are no match for his formidable Haki and absence of a Devil Fruit. The pirate will be compelled to resort to underhanded tactics or come up with an entirely new strategy when confronted by Garp.
Recent Leaks for Chapter 1071
Even though the staff of Shueisha’s monthly shonen magazine is taking the rest of the year off, they nevertheless managed to leak information about One Piece Chapter 1071. Thus, readers have a fan-translated version of the chapter that was released unofficially and a preview of what the issue could include. These hints about the future of the series suggest that One Piece Chapter 1071 is a pivotal issue. The rumoured arrival of Eustass Kid and the Kid Pirates is intriguing because it finally brings Elbaf into the plot. However, there are many who hope that Kid will soon be reunited with Straw Hat Luffy in Giants’ Land.
Events in Chapter 1071 of One Piece might lead to Erich
In the end, though, Kid and Law went their own ways to battle Big Mom while Killer dealt with Basil Hawkins. Meanwhile, Luffy easily defeated Kaido, while Zoro fought a phenomenal match against King the Conflagration. Even though they worked together this time, Oda may not be done pairing up Kid and Luffy just yet, as shown in Chapter 1071 of One Piece. In addition to Kid’s arrival in Elbaf, One Piece Chapter 1071 also saw the Straw Hats making their final preparations to leave Egghead Island with the Vegapunks in tow. It is likely that the Straw Hats will travel to Elbaf, the Giants’ home, because of the importance put on Jaguar D. Saul and his decision to store the knowledge of Ohara there.
You can count on Kid and the Kid Pirates still being on the island when Luffy, the Straw Hats, and the Vegapunks get there. Big Mom’s possible reappearance in the Elbaf arc would mean that Kid and Luffy would be able to pair up against the former Yonko instead of Kid and Law. The fact that Big Mom still has something against Luffy adds credence to the idea that this may happen. Oda’s long-awaited Luffy and Kid team-up arc has arrived.
Reasons why getting back together could be in the cards
Eustass Kid and Trafalgar D. Water Law were first presented to readers at Enies Lobby much before the events of Chapter 1071 of One Piece. In several interviews, series creator, author, and artist Eiichiro Oda has stated that he always envisioned Kid as Luffy’s opponent and the more popular of the two. His original ideas were altered, however, when supporters showed more enthusiasm for Law than Kid. This may or may not have affected how Oda organised the New World story, particularly the Punk Hazard and Dressrosa arcs, but it’s a good guess that it did. As a result, Law became Luffy’s hesitant buddy instead of Eustass Kid, which is probably what Oda had in mind. Wano saw them working together for the first time in the arc’s second act when they were in Udon Prison. Rather than being truly at odds with one another, the two would often work together and compete in the jail as a farce. Similarly, the two of them worked together during the Onigashima Raid alongside Zoro and Killer to take on Big Mom and Kaido.
