Notes on Chapter 1072
There will be a hiatus before the publication of One Piece Chapter 1072, which has been scheduled for the month of January. Oda appears to be taking a much-needed vacation this time around, so readers who are eager to find out where the tale goes from here will have to wait. Chapter 1071 will be published in the 6-7 edition of the weekly shonen jump. The raw images and spoilers for the chapter were leaked to fans a week early. Fans will have to wait an extra week for One Piece Chapter 1072 after Oda’s hiatus in the following issue, but it’s a blessing in disguise.
Latest Updates
On January 23, 2022, at 12 a.m. JST, the release of One Piece chapter 1072 will occur. The chapter will be published on the official websites of Viz Media and Shueisha, as well as MangaPlus and the Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine of Shueisha. In the following instalment, readers may anticipate a great deal more drama on a variety of fronts. The Egghead arc has been well-received by readers since it has both spoilt them with information and given them plenty of action. The Luffy vs. Lucci storyline has been well received, but even greater things are on the horizon. Hopefully, One Piece chapter 1072 will reveal the name of the unknown benefactor who has decided to aid Vegapunk. There have been rumours about who it may be, but we still don’t know for sure.
The return of the swordsman Zoro to battle in both the manga and the anime has made fans very happy. The last chapter saw readers Zoro waking up from his siesta and confronting Kaku. Lucci ordered his subordinate to destroy the Thousand Sunny after a problem with the frontier dome at Vegapunk’s facility. The combat was cut short since the manga had to move on to other things. Yet the following chapter might see far greater interaction between them. As the Straw Hats and Vegapunk prepare to leave Egghead, Kizaru’s appearance with all of the Marine warships he has amassed couldn’t come at a better moment.
The Marine Admiral had earlier warned that he had a surprise in store for the Straw Hats that would make their escape extremely challenging. Maybe we’ll get an explanation in One Piece chapter 1072. What Kuma has been up to in the Red Port may also be revealed. He is widely anticipated to travel to the New World in an effort to rescue Bonney from the Marines. Vegapunk may also be able to provide light on the reason he has been unable to restore Kuma’s normalcy. On the other side, Garp will certainly head towards Blackbeard in order to confront him. There’s no telling if Aokiji will be able to intercept him or if he’ll get to battle Blackbeard.
However, in One Piece chapter 1072, he might not engage in combat. Neither Kid’s Elbapian exploits nor Law’s ultimate destiny are going to be revealed anytime soon. Oda likes to wait for these things to happen in the background first. Everything is still conjectural until next week when the One Piece chapter 1072 spoilers are expected to be disclosed.
Where Can I Find Chapter 1072 of One Piece?
Immediately following its print debut in the Weekly Shonen Jump, One Piece Chapter 1072 will be made accessible online for readers all over the world. New episodes of One Piece are available for free on Viz Media and Manga Plus for the series’ devoted readers.
Recent Updates
While readers await the release of One Piece Chapter 1071, they are already speculating about what could happen in the upcoming chapter, 1072. Unofficially releasing Chapter 1071 has left readers in awe of the several storylines it lays up for the future. As a result, speculation over what may or may not be disclosed, confirmed, or rejected in One Piece Chapter 1072 has dominated the conversation around the topic.
Many readers believe that Eiichiro Oda, the series creator and artist, has reached his creative peak with the Egghead Island arc, and they are eager to see what comes next.
Fans may get to discover more details on Kuma’s fate, Elbaf’s introduction, and other big surprises in One Piece Chapter 1072.
Inexplicable supporter of Dr Vegapunk
The identity of Dr Vegapunk’s unknown ally is expected to be revealed in One Piece Chapter 1072, which would be a huge and highly anticipated announcement for fans. While there is no shortage of speculation online about who it may be, none of these notions is supported by proof. The Den Den Mushi that Dr Vegapunk used to speak with his ally is hidden from view, suggesting that this is a recurring character rather than a totally new one. Because Den Den Mushis tend to take on the look of their opponents, this one is probably a well-established persona. A true representation of Bartholomew As opposed to popular belief, Kuma is not a cyborg but rather a real person.
Many people believe that the original Bartholomew Kuma is still around and hasn’t been entirely replaced with a cyborg as they were led to believe. Dr Vegapunk is thought to have provided the Celestial Dragons with a genuine Pacifista role model by banishing Kuma to Egghead Island and waiting for the proper moment to bring him back. Fans may have to wait until One Piece Chapter 1072 to find out if there will be a major turn of events, but it’s conceivable they won’t. However, they may get their wish in the upcoming issue and witness the authentic Bartholomew Kuma return.
What brought Kuma back to Mariejois
True Kuma’s return to Mariejois would be confirmed if it were discovered that he is not Dr Vegapunk’s buddy. It’s possible that Dr Vegapunk’s conversation with Bonney will provide light on the reason for Kuma’s quick return. Doflamingo hinted about “Mariejois’ secret treasure” during the Dressrosa arc, thus it might be related to it. It’s also possible that after being rescued by the Flame Emperor, Kuma is now targeting I’m-Sama and has learned of his existence through Sabo. Though it’s conceivable that in One Piece Chapter 1072, readers may finally obtain the whole truth, it’s more probable that a minor plot point will be introduced.
What’s stopping Dr Vegapunk from reverting to Kuma’s transformation?
Similarly, the reason why Dr Vegapunk can’t turn Kuma back is expected to be one of the biggest discoveries for readers in One Piece Chapter 1072. His wording in the leaked version of Chapter 1071 suggests that he is capable of doing so, but is unable to for reasons that are not yet clear. And depending on Kuma’s current situation, the precise cause might be tied to any of the aforementioned options. Fans should have a decent understanding of exactly why Dr Vegapunk won’t turn Kuma back if Dr Vegapunk’s debate with Bonney occurs before the aforementioned points are confirmed, refuted, or explored.
The true leader of SWORD
The true leader of SWORD and the group’s structure are expected to be disclosed to readers in One Piece Chapter 1072. Considering that Koby and Helmeppo are also members, many fans have long held the theory that Garp is the group’s leader. It’s quite likely that this is the case, given his behaviour at the close of Chapter 1071. The next issue is a good moment for the big revelation, though. It would clarify the SWORD organisation and explain why Garp cares so much about saving Koby (beyond their established bond).
The Blackbeard assault strategy devised by Garp
Fans may get a glimpse of Garp’s strategy to rescue Koby from Blackbeard in One Piece Chapter 1072, which is a completely standalone reveal. And the fact that Garp’s true motives are finally revealed at the end of Chapter 1071 just adds weight to this theory. As a result, Chapter 1072 should begin with the Marine Vice-Admiral as its primary emphasis.
Additionally, given that he is, in fact, Luffy’s grandpa, the word “plan” here may be a touch charitable, just as it is difficult to rationalise Luffy’s actions as part of a plan. Regardless, Garp must have a plan to rescue Koby, whether it’s as straightforward as storming the front gate of Hachinosu Island or as cunning as infiltrating the facility through an unguarded back entrance.
The first sighting of Elbaf
One Piece Chapter 1072 may provide readers with their first look at Elbaf in its current form. In Chapter 1071, Kid becomes the first recurring character to visit the island at about the same time as the rest of the story. Oda may opt to offer the audience a sneak peek by focusing on Kid’s present arrival there rather than Luffy’s subsequent one. However, this may come as a letdown to the many viewers who were anticipating Elbaf’s debut appearance in the series alongside the Straw Hat Pirates. Considering how many Straw Hats appear to have arcs that will either culminate in or be strengthened by the events on Elbaf Island, this is especially true.
History is something that Sentomaru and Dr Vegapunk both have in common
Fans assume that CP0 still has a hurt Sentomaru on Egghead Island. Sentomaru or Dr Vegapunk may reflect on their shared history as they tend to his terrible wounds in One Piece Chapter 1072. Aside from Dr Vegapunk saving Sentomaru’s life, fans don’t know much else about the character at the moment. This is one of the most pressing mysteries of the Egghead Island storyline, and the answer would shed light on Sentomaru and Dr Vegapunk. If it doesn’t be mentioned in the next issue, it’s conceivable that it will show up in One Piece Chapter 1072, but readers should hold out for further detail at a later time.
A quick review of the preceding Chapter 1071
The events in chapter 1071 of One Piece were many and fast-paced. First, we saw the terrifying aftermath of Kuma’s collision with the Red Line. The Straw Hats, meantime, were packing up to go. Vegapunk approached an unknown individual for assistance, even knowing doing so might make that person a target of Marine’s pursuit in the future. The CP0 managed to break into Vegapunk’s laboratory and meet Zoro. After Kaku’s abortive effort to destroy the Thousand Sunny, he and Zoro got into an argument.
However, the Kid Pirates were seen heading for Elbaph, which was not part of their original goal. However, Kid’s enthusiasm for seeing the Isle of the Giants stood out. Last but not least, viewers witnessed Garp and Doll have an argument about whether or not Garp should go aid Kizaru. Instead, he sent a distraught Helmeppo on a mission to save Captain Koby, one of his students whom Blackbeard had abducted.
What Happened in the Earlier Chapter of One Piece?
The reappearance of Kuma at the Red Line in the chapter before this one, which was titled “The Hero Deploys,” first throws everyone for a loop, but as soon as he stands up, they all flee for their lives in fear of being killed. Lucci denies following Marine’s commands and informs Stussy that he does not regard Luffy to be an emperor while they are on Egghead island. Lucci also says that the Marine is not an emperor. The action then shifts to Labophase, where Shaka is shown informing everyone about CPO. In response, Lilith expresses enthusiasm and expresses a desire to get revenge on Atlas; however, Shaka and Pythagoras reject this, claiming that their primary goal is to save Dr Vagapunk. After then, the chapter tells us about a mystery ally, but Edison insists that he has never spoken to that person and explains the terrible implications of doing so. Nonetheless, Vegapunk phones the ally, and they agree to assist them after being asked.
CPO takes advantage of the fact that the defences of the Frontier Dome have suddenly been disabled in order to sneak inside Labophase. In the meantime, Kaku makes an attempt to destroy Thousand Sunny, but Zoro is awake, so Kaku refrains from carrying out his plan. Although the Dome has been brought back up, it may be too late to prevent the CPOs from entering. Luffy and the other members of the group get back together, and Bonnie can be seen pursuing the Vegapunk. She demands that Vegapunk return Kuma to his regular condition, but he insists that this cannot be done and refuses to comply. At the conclusion of the chapter, Kid’s team is making their way toward Elbaf, while Garp has arrived at G-14 to take command of the rescue effort for Koby.

Due to the fact that Weekly Shonen Jump is now on hiatus, practically all of the magazine’s publication dates have been pushed back, including those for One Piece. Because the most recent chapters of One Piece provide the readers with so much content, it might be difficult for fans to hold out for what’s going to happen next. However, here we are, waiting for the next episode for a far longer length of time than is typical. The release of chapter 1072 has been postponed for two weeks, which means that we still have some time to look forward to the spoilers. But there’s no need to fear; we’ll make sure you’re aware of any spoilers as soon as they become available.
