The first indications for One Piece Chapter 1072 started trickling out on the internet on the 16th of January, hinting that this chapter will be both entertaining and educational. As a whole, the indications point to a problem that will force the action to take a back seat to the endless discussion of facts and disclosures. Stussy appears to be at the heart of this chapter, as his age and longevity are likely to be examined. The Seraphim are also a major point of interest; now that they are under CP0’s authority, it is advised that they attack their next new target.
As evidenced by Chapter 1072 of One Piece, Stussy is likely to be revealed as a previously unknown member of the MADS.
On Monday, January 16, 2023, at 6:18 a.m. EST, Redon provided the first hint for One Piece chapter 1072. Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones’ opening crawl is shown in the GIF that serves as the hint. The GIF was intended to give supporters a clear indication but instead managed to do both. Since this would be the Seraphim’s first target under CP0’s command, it has been speculated that they will be engaging the Straw Hats in battle in the next issue, which would make this clue all the more significant. Since the Seraphim are thought to be clones of the Shichibukai, the title of the Star Wars film serves as a crucial supporting piece of evidence for this perspective.
On January 16, 2023, at 8:40 a.m. EST, an unidentified leaker uploaded the second hint for One Piece chapter 1072. The relevant GIF is from the film Bullet Train and depicts a character securing a knife to a metal rod with duct tape to create a makeshift spear. It’s not quite obvious whether or not the metal rod in question is a weapon. It’s hard to evaluate the significance of this clue because of the variety of possible interpretations. This seems to clarify that there will be some sort of conflict in this issue, with the above clue suggesting that this conflict will involve the Seraphim. It’s possible that this is another indication implying the same thing as the one before it, as is often the case when many hints are issued.
On January 16 at 10:56 AM, popular Arabic leaker @shnksq released the third teaser for One Piece Chapter 1072. (Shanks Q). A kitty is shown tapping on what appears to be a glass surface in its hint. However, this is not quite evident; the kitten’s paw movement may be implying this, but it is not certain. You can draw one of two conclusions from this clue. The first would be the use of the Devil Fruit, namely the Paw-Paw Fruit, by either Bartholomew Kuma or his equivalent Seraphim. Second, Bartholomew and his mysterious Barrier-Barrier Fruit show there. The former, though, is the more plausible of the two.
On Monday, January 16 at 11:26 AM, another unidentified leaker revealed the fourth hint for One Piece Chapter 1072. There’s a GIF in the clue that shows a woman leaning in for a kiss, then opening her lips to expose the vampire’s teeth.
This clue makes no sense at all, considering that the only vampire-like figure in the story so far is Catarina Devon of the Blackbeard Pirates. Its significance is revealed, however, when combined with the fifth and final clue. On January 16, at 11:42 AM, Twitter users @li1il1 (Li1) and @pewpiece revealed the fifth and final teaser for One Piece chapter 1072. (Pew). Again, the suggestion on its own is not very clear, since it depicts an elderly woman gazing into a mirror and seeing a much younger version of herself. When taken together with the fourth indication, however, they reveal a reference to Stussy, whose true age and place of birth have long been the subject of speculation.
The fourth clue probably refers to her Devil Fruit power, which, like a vampire, would allow her to drain the vitality and youthfulness of her victims. In turn, the fifth clue is likely to reveal what admirers have suspected all along: that she is much older than she looks to be. Consequently, this may wind up proving the hottest current fan hypothesis that Stussy is the fifth female member of the MADS research group depicted in a recent cover story.
