Preview of One Piece Chapter 1073 (speculative)
Expect Stussy’s betrayal of Kaku and Rob Lucci to take centre stage as One Piece Chapter 1073 opens. She will likely make her stance clear to her audience by either deciding or announcing that she is on one side or the other. Fans anticipate that she will be revealed to be on Dr Vegapunk’s side, perhaps even as his secret ally. The issue will likely return to Bonney and Dr Vegapunk to finish up their present dilemma and then circle around to what Bonney learnt from the energy.
If this plan is implemented, Dr Vegapunk and Bonney will presumably meet up with the rest of the Straw Hats and get ready to depart Egghead Island. Despite the fact that they probably won’t depart in One Piece Chapter 1073, it seems probable that the issue will finish with everyone back at the Thousand Sunny. This is when the Straw Hats find out who Stussy really is, sparking a brief but heated discussion over whether or not they can trust her before the chapter ends.
Summarizing Chapter 1072
In the first part of Chapter 1072, we saw Dr Vegapunk and Bonney continuing their game of cat and mouse. Still, Bonney quickly gained the upper hand and transformed Dr Vegapunk into a miniature replica of himself. Then she came upon a puzzling door marked with a paw print and discovered a sphere of energy derived from her father Bartholomew Kuma’s Paw-Paw Fruit behind it. After some back-and-forth between Bonney and Dr Vegapunk in Chapter 1072, including a flashback from the latter, Chapter 1072 depicted the actual Kuma attempting to scale the Red Line at the same time.
As Bonney reaches out to take up the energy, it becomes clear that the sphere represents Kuma’s recollections. Next, the situation shifted to the Lab Stratum, where Kaku and Zoro were engaged in combat while the Seraphim and CP0 launched an attack on the facility. However, the combat between Kaku and Zoro was cut short when Stussy apparently betrayed her CP0 teammates by putting Kaku to sleep and urging Lucci to do the same. Shortly later, it was revealed that Stussy was actually a clone of Miss Buckingham Stussy, a former member of the Rocks Pirates.
