The raw scans for One Piece chapter 1072 were released on January 18, marking the final step in the chapter 1072 spoiler process. Fans have been raving about this issue and how wonderful it is ever since photographs of the issue were released to the public that appears to have been taken from the official issue. Kaku’s Awakened Devil Fruit form was a highlight for many, as were the revelations about Stussy’s background, Devil Fruit abilities, and the apparent design of her Hybrid form. Even though baddies got all the attention, one of the most thrilling origin stories in recent memory was set up with Jewelry Bonney.
Chapter 1072 of One Piece lays the stage for pivotal moments between Stussy and Jewelry Bonney.
Raw Scans for Chapter 1072
A cover scan for One Piece chapter 1072 appears first in the raw scans, depicting Caesar Clown, Queen, and Vinsmoke Judge in their MADS days. Caesar Clown is shown clutching a pitch-black Devil Fruit, while the Queen is seen creating viruses or biological weapons. Meanwhile, Vinsmoke Judge is developing a spear-like weapon. In the issue’s first story sequence, Dr Vegapunk gently approaches a younger version of Bonney, who is sitting on the floor and appears to be sobbing. When Dr Vegapunk finally reaches her, though, she grows enormously and replaces her weeping with a hideously furious grimace. She resumes her pursuit of Dr Vegapunk, catching him and transforming him into a miniature replica of himself. Here, Bonney addresses him, but infant Dr Vegapunk is preoccupied with the baubles at his feet.
This is probably what text spoilers meant to convey when they said Bonney’s life progressed through phases due to his Devil Fruit abilities. Here, she takes up Dr Vegapunk to ask him a question, while in One Piece chapter 1072, Bartholomew Kuma is seen attempting to scale the Red Line. While Bonney and Dr Vegapunk quarrel on Egghead Island, Marines ambush and shoot him. In response to whatever he says, she throws him to the ground in Chapter 1072 of One Piece, demonstrating her displeasure. Finally, Bonney spots a door marked with a paw print and goes to investigate. She unlocks the door with her powers by artificially ageing the locking mechanism. She looks around the room and sees a huge sphere of energy in the shape of a paw print, which she recognises as her father’s. In a flashback, we witness a younger version of Dr Vegapunk and Kuma having a conversation, in which Vegapunk appears to beseech Kuma for help.
Text spoilers showed that this was actually Dr Vegapunk begging Kuma to use the Paw-Paw Fruit to materialise his recollections. So, the power that Bonney has discovered is essentially the essence of her father’s recollections, as seen in Chapter 1072 of One Piece. She appears to be extending a hand towards the energy in order to absorb it, suggesting that the origin of the memories is now unknown. Here, we return to the lab level, where Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Vegapunk Shaka are worrying and debating their predicament. Images of the Lab Stratum are interwoven with scenes of Rob Lucci and Stussy, who are in charge of CP0, as the Seraphim wait for instructions on the following page. Shortly after Sanji and Franky leave, Vegapunks Edison and Lilith also leave, but for what appears to be a separate location. While Brook and Zoro are preoccupied with Kaku, it appears like the latter is aiming for Zoro.
Similarly to Lucci, he is seen here in his Awakened state, complete with black flames. Kaku and Zoro finally start fighting in earnest in One Piece chapter 1072, as Lucci appears to issue some sort of order to the Seraphim. The next scene has Nami and Usopp with Shaka, who appear to be in a state of fear. That’s for a good cause since the Seraphim are then shown wreaking havoc on the Lab Stratum. Kaku gets bitten while Nami, Usopp, and Shaka are picking themselves up after the attack. Soon after, he collapses on the floor, knocked out, drawing Lucci’s attention. Once Stussy’s identity as a MADS clone of former Rocks Pirate member Miss Buckingham Stussy is exposed, it becomes clear that she is the one who bit him and knocked him unconscious. At the end of Chapter 1072 of One Piece, she shows off her new outfit with a bat motif and has a question for Lucci.
