Recent Leaks
On Friday, January 26, scanlations of One Piece chapter 1073 were made available, heralding the arrival of a highly anticipated issue packed with confirmations and fresh discoveries. The chapter’s introduction of Stussy as the unknown ally Dr Vegapunk had phoned a few issues earlier is very fascinating. One of the Gorosei is finally named in the last minutes of Chapter 1073 of One Piece, which is a fascinating development in and of itself. Also interesting is the fact that the Gorosei with the scar on his left cheek, who is now known as Saint Jegarcia Saturn, appears to be on his way to Egghead Island to assume leadership of the Seraphim. Even with so few issues published, the Egghead Island Arc has already established itself as one of the greatest post-time-skip arcs, and this newest instalment does not disappoint. Even with all the new information revealed in Chapter 1073 of One Piece, the absence of Bonney and Dr Vegapunk is barely apparent.
Markings made
On the cover of One Piece chapter 1073, we meet Dr Vegapunk, Caesar Clown, Vinsmoke Judge, and the Queen of the Beast Pirates, all members of MADS. Dr Vegapunk is seen taking great pride in his creation of tank-mounted flower cannons on the offending cover page, while his other MADS researchers look on in apparent contempt. In the next chapter (1073), we learn more about Stussy’s conflict with Rob Lucci. While Kaku is out cold, Lucci remarks on how hard it is to take Stussy’s genuine loyalties. She then employs a stealth manoeuvre from Paper Arts: Heartbreak After Image to get behind Lucci. She makes fun of him for wanting to murder anything that doesn’t make sense to him.
She then presses the Sea Prism Stone lipstick tube against Lucci’s body and taunts him, saying, “You’re so crazy.” Because of this, Stussy is able to put him to sleep with a bite, just like she did with Kaku. Stussy says that she appreciates their strength and that it would have been foolish to challenge them in a fair battle. Brook is confused as to why the CP0 agents are fighting one another, and she begs their forgiveness as Lucci drops to the floor. While Stussy is radioing the Vegapunk Satellites to report her achievement, Zoro observes that this is a friendly fire. The Satellites applaud her efforts in Chapter 1073 of One Piece, but Usopp and Nami demand an explanation. Shaka continues by saying that Lucci was caught off guard and that Stussy’s allegiance to the Vegapunks was concealed during his whole 20-year career as an agent.
He stresses that they never intended for Stussy to become a member of CP0, but that is what happened. The latter then reminds Shaka that the Seraphim would not cease attacking if she orders them to since her authority is on par with Lucci’s. This causes Zoro and Brook to intervene to stop the Seraphim attack, and Vegapunk Lilith and Vegapunk Edison to walk outside and issue the command. When Brook observes that several of the children appear familiar, Zoro singles out one of them. Then, in chapter 1073 of One Piece, Lilith and Edison infiltrate the battlefield via a hole in the side of the Lab Stratum structure and make a distress call to the Seraphim. But S-Hawk spots her and begins to pursue her, so Zoro takes out his blades to protect her.
Here, Zoro makes fun of S-Hawk by pointing out that the Seraphim genuinely has a spark of humanity, unlike Mihawk. Zoro still wonders what he is as the struggle comes to a close, while Edison commands the Seraphim to cease. However, it appears that he has paid with his own life since S-Shark fired a laser beam in his direction. Lucky for everyone, Sanji shows up just in time to rescue Edison and join Zoro and the others. While Zoro is asking for clarification on the Seraphim’s nature in Chapter 1073 of One Piece, the Seraphim gather together in peace with the rest of the crew. Once reinforcements come, Stussy will report to Shaka that she tied Lucci and Kaku with Sea Prism Stone and essentially removed them from the battle. Shaka convinces Stussy to join them, but Usopp points out that they can’t take any more passengers.
Lots of backup and new information
Luffy and Chopper spend the rest of the issue searching for Dr Vegapunk and Jewelry Bonney but to no avail. The disappearance of Dr Vegapunk’s primary “Stella” corpse is described as a “really unexpected occurrence” by the narrator. Later in the chapter, the focus moves to Whitebeard’s native Sphinx Island. After returning to Sphinx Island, Marco (chapter 1073) learns that the Marines attacked the town while he was away. He tries to apologise to the kids who are breaking the news to him, but they tell him it’s not their fault and that the Marines are the worst since they’re only here for Whitebeard’s loot and they’re acting more like pirates than soldiers. A Marine officer is then shown bringing troops into the town, informing the villagers that they have no rights because Sphinx Island isn’t associated with the Government and that they won’t get injured if they play nice.
The officer claims to have little doubt that Whitebeard concealed his riches here, and he further claims that refusing to provide its location would be seen as a rebellion on their part. The youngsters in One Piece chapter 1073 say there is no treasure since the vile officer has threatened to shoot them one by one if they don’t talk. The cop is prompted to wonder if it’s prudent to be so belligerent without Marco after seeing an elderly lady call them monsters for treating them this way simply because they can’t pay the World Government. The officer then appears to have no opposition as he prepares the elderly woman for death. But suddenly Edward Weevil shows up there, and he and his men are able to push back the officer (now known as Captain Ratel) and his men.
After the Marines have left the island and called for backup, the situation returns to the present. When Marco hears the youngsters of the village claim that if Weevil hadn’t shown up, the community would have been destroyed, he calls Weevil a hero and expresses his gratitude that everyone is safe in One Piece chapter 1073. But then Weevil’s mom, Miss Bakkin, is seen screaming out to Marco, telling him that this isn’t over, and wondering who he believes came to the island as reinforcements. She continues by saying that Weevil was taken by Admiral Ryokugyu, who then demanded that Marco return her son and turn over Whitebeard’s loot.
his intriguing piece of narration also establishes that Bakkin is, in fact, Miss Buckingham Stussy, as well as disclosing that she is “MADS’ Resident Freeloader,” a “self-proclaimed scientist,” and an ex-member of the Rocks Pirates. This seems to corroborate that Bakkin, who has teased as the fifth female member of MADS in a cover story some months ago, is in fact the member revealed in One Piece chapter 1073. Then Bakkin starts crying about how terrible it is that Weevil has to go to jail for doing what was right by his father and the villagers in the village, while Marco says he at least appreciates their efforts to keep the island safe. The former becomes vehemently defensive, insisting that she can “hear it in his tone” that he doubts that Weevil is Whitebeard’s son. She goes on to say that she is acquainted with Dr Vegapunk, who is in a position to provide proof.
All signs point to this being more evidence that she is the fifth female member of MADS. In the last chapter of One Piece, ch.1073, the viewpoint changes to a fleet of ships belonging to the World Government and the Marines. There is a scene in which Admiral Kizaru is chatting with a regular soldier about the food and tea that have been prepared for the visitor. He asks them whether they tested for poison, which the Marine confirms, forcing Kizaru to fire him. Kizaru then brings the visitor some snacks and tea and inquires as to whether or not he is familiar with Dr Vegapunk. Then it’s revealed that the visitor is a Gorosei—more particularly, the one with the grey dreadlocks and the scar on his left cheek. As the issue concludes, his true identity as Saint Jay Garcia Saturn (waiting for an official translation) is revealed as he states he once met Dr Vegapunk a long time ago while calling current circumstances “such a pity.”
Briefly, then
Overall, One Piece chapter 1073 is a really fascinating and dense issue with a lot of stuff to study and analyse. The naming for the first time of one of the five Gorosei and the apparent connection in their naming method to that of the Ancient Weapons is by far the most fascinating feature of the issue. Bakkin’s identity as Miss Buckingham Stussy has been confirmed, and the implication that she is the fifth female member of MADS is equally thrilling. Although various fans’ efforts had already pretty well proven her identity as such, it’s good to see what should be an official confirmation comes the chapter’s official publication.
Latest Updates for Chapter 1073
On January 29, 2023, at 12 a.m. JST, the release of One Piece chapter 1073 is scheduled. The latest chapter is available in the Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine published by Shueisha, the MangaPlus service, the Viz Media website, and the Shonen Jump+ app developed by Shueisha. Shocking revelations about the narrative occurred in the last chapter, including Bonney learning about Kuma’s memories, Zoro’s confrontation with Kaku, and Stussy’s actual identity. These shocking developments have amplified the anticipation for Chapter 1073, and fans are already begging for spoilers.
While the official spoilers for Chapter 1073 are expected to be posted soon, fans may have to wait a few more days. In the meanwhile, many readers have started guessing about the big secrets they hope to learn in the next chapter. Fans are eager to see what’s next for Oda now that the Egghead Arc is winding down. The possibility of Bonney reading Kuma’s mind and other shocking developments await readers of One Piece chapter 1073.
At last, Kizaru has made it to Egghead Island
To stop Vegapunk and the Straw Hats from leaving, Kizaru is expected to come to Egghead Island in chapter 1073 with every marine battleship he has at his disposal. In addition, Kizaru gave the Straw Hats a clue in chapter 1071 that he had something planned that would make their escape extremely difficult. What hinders the Strawhat Pirates….?! is the title of One Piece chapter 1073. It might mean the admiral is playing his ace card and demonstrating his full authority. He disappeared in chapter 1072, so it stands to reason that readers expect him to make a huge return in the next instalment.
Insight into Kuma’s past granted by Bonney
At the close of the last episode, we saw Bonney stretching a hand toward the massive paw print energy that Kuma was emitting. That’s why many readers think she’ll be able to access her father’s memories and learn the truth about his history in chapter 1073.
Kuma’s history is shrouded in mystery, however, we do know he and Bonney both stated belonging to a unique race. As a result, many fans believe that Kuma’s memories, if accessed, might reveal alarming information about the Lunarian species. His experience in the Revolutionary Army may also be explained in this section.
Lucci vs Stussy
Fans believe that Stussy will confront Lucci in chapter 1073 in order to provide the Straw Hats and Vegapunk with a means of leaving Egghead Island. According to the canon, she is the fifth member of MADS and the mystery ally Vegapunk met in chapter 1071. Given that Stussy appears to know even the traps Vegapunk has placed for himself in his lab, this idea holds some water. Kaku was knocked unconscious by Stussy drinking his blood in the last chapter, and Stussy threatened to do the same to Lucci. By easily defeating a Devil Fruit user and CP0 agent like Kaku, the audience saw her enormous potential. Her upcoming showdown with Lucci in Chapter 1073 of One Piece has piqued the interest of readers who are eager to witness the full scope of her abilities.
Kuma’s reason for coming back to Mariejois
Unsolved in One Piece chapter 1072 was Kuma’s dogged determination to cross the Red Line and reach the promised country of Mariejois. Despite being shot down many times by the Marines, Kuma persisted in his chase and eventually reached his mission. Fans want to know why he went back to Mariejois after Sabo risked his life to save him the first time around. The events of chapter 1073 will explain why Kuma is so determined to get back to Mariejois after all this time.
Attack by Garp on Blackbeard’s Pirates
Some viewers of One Piece chapter 1073 believe that Garp will face off against the Blackbeard Pirates because of his choice to save Koby. After being MIA in Chapter 1072, it’s possible that he’s already on his way to Blackbeard’s pirate island of Hachinosu. In chapter 1073, Marshall D. Teach, alias Blackbeard, is rumoured to make an appearance, according to unofficial spoilers. Because of this, a disagreement between him and Vice Admiral Garp is more likely to arise. In order to get to Blackbeard, many believe Garp will have to face off against the other Ten Titanic Captains first.
Conclusion
There are currently no significant leaks or spoilers for One Piece 1073. So far, all fans have to go on is a raw scan of the upcoming chapter, What stands in the path of the Strawhat Pirates….!? Beginning on January 24, 2023, spoilers for Chapter 1073 will likely appear online. Readers may also anticipate the entire synopsis and raw scans of the chapter to be made accessible on January 26.
Detailed Analysis and Raw Scans of One Piece Chapter 1073
Miss Buckingham Stussy” is the title of Chapter 1073 of One Piece, and once again the Mads scientists make an appearance on the chapter’s front page. Dr Vegapunk unveils his latest creation, a gun that fires flowers, on the cover. The reactions of the Judge, Ceasar, and Queen, who appear to be repulsed by Vegapunk for creating such a weapon, are depicted in the backdrop. Continuing from the previous chapter, CP0’s inner battle is the focus of One Piece Chapter 1073. Lucci is shocked and angered to learn that Stussy is a traitor, and she proceeds to confront her. But what he thinks is Stussy is actually a mirage and is beyond his grasp. Stussy’s paper-drawing skills come to light. Stussy then produces her Sea Stone lipstick and, seizing the moment, bites Lucci on the back of the shoulder, knocking him out as Kaku did.
Stussy concedes that she had to resort to such tactics because Kaku and Lucci are so formidable. Zoro and Brook, perplexed by what they had seen, question whether there is strife within CP0. While Pythagoras cures York, Stussy puts them to sleep with a Den Den Mushi and sends word to Vegapunk. The current residents of the lab’s straw hats are just as startled as Shakka that Stussy is still on team Vegapunk after 20 years. Stussy informs Shakk that even though CP0 has been knocked out, the Seraphim will continue to wreak damage within the Lab since she has the same authority as Lucci. The two angels, Edison and Lilith, arrive on the scene, declaring that Stussy has done enough and that it is now their responsibility to halt the Seraphim since they are the ones with ultimate power. Zoro and Brook are similarly eager to aid the Seraphim, but they were taken aback when they recognised some familiar faces among them.
As S-Hawk wreaks havoc in the laboratory, Lilith arrives on the scene. Zoro intervenes and prevents S-Hawk from swinging at her, noting that the more he examines S-Hawk, the more human he finds inside it, despite her repeated instructions for the Seraphim to cease its assault. As a showdown between Zoro and S-Hawk seems certain, Edison steps in at the last second to yell commands for the Seraphim to cease their attacks. Zoro is perplexed by the Seraphim, so he approaches Edison for an explanation, while Stussy tells Shakka that she has placed sea stone on Lucci and Kaku. Shakka expresses gratitude for her help and informs her that they would be departing the island with her, much to the chagrin of the island’s straw hat residents. But in the meantime, we see that Luffy and Chopper are looking for the main Vegapunk & Bonney, as they cannot leave the island without them. The author hints that something significant is going to take place on Egghead Island.
Those Occurring On Sphinx Island
The chapter then moves the action from Egghead Island to Sphinx Island, where we witness Marco learning about the events from the island’s kids after his return from his trip. They tell him the Marines, behaving like violent pirates, came here in search of Whitebeard’s wealth. The residents of Sphinx Island, from the elderly to the young, are being held at gunpoint by the pirates, who, as seen in a flashback, have refused to talk to the marines. Marines are about to open fire on civilians to extract information when Weevil appears and starts a brawl.
After the dissolution of the Warlords, the marines are taken aback to find that Weevil is still there, as the naval ship is no longer actively seeking him. The Marines report Weevil’s presence on Sphinx island to HQ before retreating to the Ship. Fast forward to the current day, and the kids reveal that they only survived the ordeal with Weevil’s assistance. Marco is relieved Weevil was there to stop the Marines, but Weevil’s mother suddenly appears to tell him that Admiral Ryokugyu arrived shortly after the Marines departed and took Weevil to prison. Since Weevil is Whitebeard’s son and the genuine Newgate, she has demanded that Marco return her son to her and give him Whitebeard’s property. Marco expresses gratitude for her efforts to keep the town safe, but Buckingham Stussy claims he has proof that Weevil is Newgate’s son and that only Dr Vegapunk can provide it.
Kizaru, and one of the Five Elders
All in One On the very final page of Chapter 1073, the story takes another turn, this time to a faraway sea where a force of Marines and a military ship are waiting. After making sure they are not poisoned, the marines offer Kizaru tea and biscuits. Kizauru tells the marine to hold off until he brings the munchies and claims he will do it himself. Upon Kizaru entering one of the ship’s compartments, it is seen that tea and snacks have been prepared for one of the five elders. Kizaru inquires of the wise man if he has ever been across Dr Vegapunk. The name of the elder, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the greatest powers, is revealed in the last panel of One Piece Chapter 1073. Kizaru learns from Saint Jaygarcia Saturn that, long ago, he met Dr Vegapunk, who he says he was disappointed to see become what he sees now. In One Piece Chapter 1074, Kizaru, along with one of the five elders and the marines, would presumably make his way onto Egghead Island to deal with the situation.
We don’t know if they’ll show up at the beginning of the chapter or the conclusion of the chapter, but we know they’ll be wearing straw hats and that Dr Vegapunk is packing his bags. Even so, we hope to catch up with Bonney and Dr Vegapunk first. Although they were not highlighted in Chapter 1073 of One Piece, the last we saw of them was when Bonney uncovered what appear to be Kuma’s memories. In One Piece Chapter 1074, we will see many interesting things happen, but as said at the beginning of the post, we will have to wait for almost a week because Oda is on vacation. As soon as we learn more about the events in One Piece Chapter 1074, we will share that knowledge with you. In the meanwhile, please back the January 29th, 2023 official release of One Piece Chapter 1073 on Viz Media.
