Expectations from One Piece Chapter 1073
There have been several delays in the publication of new episodes of One Piece over the last few weeks, but now that the holidays are over and the series has returned from its most recent vacation, we can return to our regularly scheduled programming. Fans had high hopes for the upcoming release of One Piece 1073 after the shocking conclusion of the last chapter. Stussy, a member of the CP0, surprised everyone at the end of One Piece 1072 by single-handedly destroying Kaku with her formidable talents. Then it came out that she was Dr Vegapunk’s secret ally on Egghead Island. With Kuma and Bonney’s backstories beginning to emerge slowly but surely, the future of the plot can only look bright after the events of One Piece 1073.
Stussy’s Loyalties Revealed in One Piece Chapter 1073
We may expect Stussy and Lucci to begin One Piece 1073 by discussing the events of the previous chapter. Stussy has abandoned the CP0, as her supporters know, and is ready to square off against Rob Lucci. Now that Kaku is no longer an obstacle, Stussy should find it easy to take on Lucci. But it is the Seraphims who currently threaten her safety. Still, Stussy can take on Rob Lucci all by herself, and with the Vegapunk duplicates by her side, commanding the Seraphims won’t be a problem at all. It’s probable that more of her backstory and character development will be revealed to the audience. Shortly before she became the first successful clone, she was briefly introduced to viewers in One Piece 1072.
One Piece 1073 may delve deeper into this to explain the origins of the technique and how Miss Buckingham Stussy created her clone. There’s a chance that fans will see a peek of the Rocks Pirates here as well, which would be a nice twist, but given the trajectory of this arc, nothing much would shock them anymore. Stussy has become Dr Vegapunk’s ally, and as a consequence, the Straw Hat Pirates’ ally. She looks to be a woman full of mystery at the present, therefore the depth added to her character by One Piece 1073 is much needed.
Chapter 1073: A Look Back in Time with Kuma
In Chapter 1072 of One Piece, readers learned more about Bartholomew Kuma’s abilities and his history with Dr Vegapunk. It was revealed to him by Vegapunk that his Devil Fruit had the ability to give shape to things that were previously abstract and lifeless. That’s right, because of Kuma’s abilities, you can physically feel emotions like agony, nostalgia, and happiness. After that, Kuma started wiping his body clean of his memories, which is when he first began to lose his humanity and transform into Pacifica, the monster everyone knows and loves to hate. Followers also got a glimpse of his memories being archived on Egghead Island. Bonney began to approach them, which may be a significant deal for One Piece 1073. In the upcoming chapter, Bonney may enter Kuma’s memory space, setting off a chain reaction of recollections regarding Kuma’s whole existence and the events that led to his current state of mind. Bonney has waited a long time for the truth about her father, and she is more than due it. Her followers have been holding their breath for information on Bartholomew Kuma for just as long. The next instalment may prove to be crucial, and provide readers with the answers they’ve been seeking since before the time jump.
Chapter 1073 of One Piece: Kizaru Shows Up
It’s possible that One Piece 1073 may feature the arrival of Admiral Kizaru to Egghead Island, which would be a major development. Kizaru disappeared after he went to the island in Chapters 13 and 14. At this point, if he wanted to prevent the Straw Hat Pirates from departing Egghead Island, he should make an appearance. Thanks to Stussy, Rob Lucci is preoccupied, and the Straw Hat Pirates need only contend with the Navy Fleet in order to make their way off the island. It’s unlikely that Kizaru will make an appearance in the upcoming chapter of One Piece, but he may be around the corner. If that happens, fans will become excited about the prospect of an Admiral going into full battle against the up-and-coming Yonko crew. One Piece 1073 has the potential to provide the groundwork for an Admiral to ultimately meet Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji in battle, which would undoubtedly thrill the audience. Fortunately, next week won’t see a hiatus for One Piece. When will One Piece 1073 be released? January 29th, 2023, according to Manga Plus. As usual, the chapter is available for free on Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump app.
So, what do we anticipate?
One Piece Chapter 1073 has set up two possible directions to take after the revelation of Stussy’s background and the introduction of Bonney’s viewing of her father’s memories. The first would centre on Bonney and Kuma, maybe even giving the audience a glimpse of Bonney’s future self’s recollections. This would most certainly lead to a full-fledged flashback involving either Kuma or Bonney or even both Kuma and Bonney. The secret purpose that Dr Vegapunk says prohibits him from undoing Kuma’s metamorphosis will likely be revealed, as will the reason why he is called Tyrant and will be of interest to fans.
The conclusion of One Piece Chapter 1073 is likely to centre on the true Kuma if fans uncover this and their theory that it is related to Kuma’s appearance at the Red Line is right. With any luck, fans will get to watch him evade the troops’ fire as he makes his way up the Red Line, potentially making use of the Devil Fruit’s special skills, and perhaps even making it back to Mariejois. Following CP0’s Stussy, who was discovered to be a clone of previous Rocks Pirates member Miss Buckingham Stussy, is also a potentially significant direction this issue might go. Fans believe that Stussy is actually a clone of Edward Weevil’s mother Buckin, who was reported to be in a relationship with Weevil’s father Whitebeard.
If this is the case, a historical or contemporary perspective on Buckin might be one way to approach the problem. If this were the case, it would confirm the long-held fan notion that Edward Weevil is Whitebeard’s son. Another common fan theory has him being a clone of Whitebeard created through genetic engineering. However, all of this would be confirmed or refuted in the problem. It’s also possible that the issue will centre on the Stussy clone herself, from the moment of her “birth” forward. Eventually, this would bring everyone back to the present, when Lucci and Stussy would have the dialogue that would reveal Stussy as a traitor to CP0 and the World Government and an unknown ally of Dr Vegapunk. There is currently no confirmed spoiler material for One Piece Chapter 1073, so all of this is just speculation. However, the problem is probably a combination of the two instances mentioned above.
Updates for Chapter 1073
On Tuesday, January 24, 2023, the entire description of One Piece Chapter 1073 was revealed, revealing an extremely interesting next issue. The chapter is only 15 pages long, yet it’s packed with useful information. Not only does it surprise the audience, but it also provides knowledge they didn’t know. Unfortunately, next week’s One Piece will not have a new chapter, as revealed in Chapter 1073. The news is obviously depressing, but at least author and artist Eiichiro Oda is giving readers and viewers enough to think about during the series’ week break. In Chapter 1073 of One Piece, the story moves away from Bonney and Dr Vegapunk and toward several lengthy setups and exposition dumps.
Miss Buckingham Stussy, the official title of One Piece Chapter 1073, opens with yet another cover story for the MADS illegal science organisation. Caesar Clown, Vinsmoke Judge, and Queen stare down their noses at Dr Vegapunk as he makes peaceful innovations (such as a tank that sprays flowers) in this cover art. Next, Lucci launches an assault on Stussy in this issue. Stussy defends himself with a “Kami-e” (Paper Art) method known as “Remaining Body,” but he fails to hit the target since he is assaulting a phantom. By rubbing a lipstick bottle with a Sea Prism Stone on Lucci’s body while he is distracted by the illusion, Stussy is able to weaken him. To make Lucci sleep like Kaku, Stussy bites him.
Finally, the spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1073 reveal that Stussy is the one Dr Vegapunk talked with and that he never intended for her to join CP0. Stussy is proven to be on the same level as Lucci, confirming that while being an ally, she is powerless against the Seraphim. Thus, Vegapunks Lilith and Edison emerge from the Lab Stratum structure. Before Lilith gives the command to stop, S-Hawk tries to strike, but Zoro stops it and they get into a fight. S-Hawk appears to be taken aback by Zoro’s might.
Then, Edison is attacked by S-Shark, but Sanji comes to his rescue, and he is able to issue the command that compels all Seraphim to cease their attacks. In the wake of Dr Vegapunk and Bonney’s disappearance, Luffy and Chopper spend the majority of Chapter 1073 of One Piece searching the Lab Stratum for the man himself. Spoilers for the complete summary indicate that neither the duo nor the readers will see anything of note in the issue and that as a result, the action will shift to Sphinx Island. While Marco was lending a hand in Wano, Marines showed up on Sphinx Island. While the community was in danger, Edward Weevil and Miss Bakkin came to the rescue just in time. Weevil’s capture by Ryokugyu was an unavoidable price to pay. At the moment, Marco is with Miss Bakkin, who has asked him to return her son and return Whitebeard’s loot.
He begins to speak to her in Chapter 1073 of One Piece, thanking her for saving hamlet and presumably explaining why he can’t give her Whitebeard’s riches. Bakkin interrupts him, suggesting that Marco may verify her son’s ancestry with Dr Vegapunk if he has any questions. This almost certainly proves that Bakkin is the original Miss Buckingham Stussy and strongly implies that Weevil is a clone of Whitebeard. From then, the issue transitions to Kizaru’s ship, which is seen to be on its way to Egghead Island. Some regular troops observe the Admiral himself giving food and drink to an elderly man on board, and they analyse it to determine whether it was poisoned.
Having brought the man his meal and drink, Kizaru engages him in conversation. Kizaru asks the elderly guy in Chapter 1073 of One Piece if he has ever met Dr Vegapunk, and the grandfather replies that he has, but just once in his life. The elderly guy is then shown to be one of the Gorosei, notably the one with the grey dreadlocks and the scar on his left cheek. The issue concludes with Saturn expressing sorry that it has come to this and revealing that his name is Saint Jegarcia Saturn.
Summary of “One Piece” Chapter 1072
Instead of being an action-packed chapter, One Piece Chapter 1072 focused on providing background information. We witnessed them demanding to know what Vegapunk had done to her dad. The latter told Kuma he wouldn’t tell Bonney about what happened to Kuma, and so he was likewise determined to keep quiet about the incident. Eventually, after being chased and having Vegapunk transformed into a toddler, Bonney locates a chamber that likely has Kuma’s recollections. Vegapunk calls it a “Pain,” and Bonney’s death is certain if she comes into contact with it. But Bonney insists that she is familiar with her father and that it is his recollections, not Pain, who is speaking to her. A flashback throughout this scenario reveals that Vegapunk had previously consulted Kuma in order to determine how much each memory weighed.
Meanwhile, beyond the lab phase, the Seraphims are being commanded by CP0; to reclaim authority, Lilith and Edison venture forth to assume command. During their ongoing battle, Zoro and Kaku both resort to the abilities of the devil’s fruit, which Kaku has recently awoken. Under Lucci’s orders, Seraphim begin destroying the Lab, but Kaku is put to sleep by a quick bite from Stussy. When Lucci refuses to go to sleep, Stussy reveals that she is actually a clone of Buckingham Stussy, a previous member of the Rocks Pirates.
Every Monday brings with it the start of a new spoiler cycle for One Piece, and this week brings us Chapter 1073, written by Eiichiro Oda. Although there are few clues to rely on, fans have a series of unverified spoilers of One Piece Chapter 1073 that seem to picture an excitingly disturbing problem. These spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1073 are highly suspect unless they have been verified by the spoiler community as a whole. Fans have something to do while waiting for confirmed spoilers to be disclosed, and the clues don’t need any extra proof to study and deconstruct.
Rumours about Kuma’s flashback and Blackbeard’s return in One Piece chapter 1073 have not been confirmed. On the evening of January 22, 2023, Redon released the first chapter 1073 clue for One Piece. The hint is a simple GIF of a “Hype-O-Meter” needle flicking up to its maximum reading. A blinking indication labelled “PEAK” can be seen to the right of the gauge. The suggestion may not give much away about the issue’s plot, but it does assure readers that it will be a fun read.
Fans were already on the right track with their speculations after last week’s announcement. Redon’s hint at least seems to validate what many fans have suspected all along. One of the series’ Arabic leakers, @shnksq (SHANKS), has posted a tip for One Piece Chapter 1073. There’s a GIF of Batman from one of his cartoon or movie appearances in the clue. His head is repeatedly thrown into his hand as he sits in a chair in his bat cave, giving the impression of disappointment or exhaustion.
While at first glance these two ideas seem diametrically opposed to Redon’s tip, they may be easily combined to form a single, complementary perspective. In the same way that a thrilling chapter doesn’t guarantee that readers won’t be let down by the next one, neither does the presence of disappointing or distressing events in an issue diminish the thrill of reading it. So, these two indications present a conflicted picture of the future issue. These are, unfortunately, the only teasers we have for One Piece Chapter 1073. However, the @OPSCANS (OP Scans) team’s Fenaker may have leaked some spoilers.
Based on these rumours, the next issue will feature Kuma’s flashback, Blackbeard’s return, and the beginning of Stussy vs Rob Lucci. Even next week, there will be no respite. Fans shouldn’t take these spoilers at face value until they’ve been validated by the series’ leaker community as a whole. If accurate, however, they explain everything about why Redon and SHANKS dropped those two hints on supporters.
Even though Blackbeard’s return is exhilarating, it probably means that Trafalgar D. Water Law has lost the fight and may have even lost his Devil Fruit because of it. Kuma’s flashback has been a much-awaited part of the Egghead Island storyline, so this is fantastic news. Many readers will be relieved and thrilled to see his flashback begin in the next issue. As an additional exciting turn of events, her alliance with Dr Vegapunk would be confirmed in One Piece chapter 1073, which depicts a battle between Stussy and Rob Lucci.
Leaked Spoilers for Chapter 1073
On Tuesday, January 24, 2023, a 15-page preview of One Piece Chapter 1073’s entire synopsis was uploaded online. The issue has been praised as another great addition to the recent streak of nearly perfect chapters. There are a plethora of implicit confirmations and betrayals throughout. Roronoa Zoro’s brief conflict with the S-Hawk Seraphim, modelled after Dracule Mihawk, in One Piece Chapter 1073 is largely overlooked. If the spoilers are to be believed, the latest and best technological soldier of the World Government, the S-Hawk Seraphim, is rendered “in shock facing Zoro’s might” by the Straw Hat Swordsman.
It’s possible that author and artist Eiichiro Oda will give this little conflict more weight later in the plot. Read on as we analyse what happened between S-Hawk and Zoro in One Piece Chapter 1073, and how it relates to Zoro’s future with Mihawk.
When Zoro faces off against S-Hawk in Chapter 1073 of One Piece, Oda may be offering readers a glimpse into the future. The fight shown in One Piece Chapter 1073 may startle readers, although it might be argued that it accurately portrays Zoro’s prospects against the actual Dracule Mihawk. To begin, it is often believed that each Seraphim is a carbon copy of its counterpart Shichibukai. As with Boa Hancock’s S-Snake, Bartholomew Kuma’s S-Bear, Jinbe’s S-Shark, and Dracule Mihawk’s S-Hawk, S-Snake is a clone of one of these other famous snakes. That is to say if we assume that S-experiences Hawk’s comparable to Mihawk, we may think of him as merely another Mihawk, although one with the same power and competence in swordplay. However, S-Hawk might end up either stronger or weaker than the original Dracule Mihawk he was cloned from, depending on a number of conditions.
S-immaturity Hawk’s and his inability to replicate Mihawk’s swordsmanship experience are two of the largest potential weaknesses. S-strength Hawk’s ability with the sword is affected by both of these factors, and S-real-time Hawk’s decisions are affected by his comparison to Mihawk’s. From what we can tell as of One Piece Chapter 1073, S-Lunarian Hawk’s ancestry and adjusted Lineage Factors might make him an even more formidable swordsman than Mihawk. As witnessed in Zoro’s battle against King, the Lunarian genetics will offer S-Hawk a huge natural strength increase compared to what Mihawk is instantaneously capable of. When applied to S-Hawk, these modified Lineage Factors will make him inherently more powerful than Mihawk. As S-Hawk practises, this difference between them will grow at an exponential rate.
Thanks to his augmented genetics and green blood, S-Hawk can also consume a Devil Fruit, giving him another advantage over the genuine article. Assuming that these factors cancel each other out, readers of One Piece Chapter 1073 can view the brief combat between Zoro and S-Hawk as Zoro gets some much-needed practice. If this is the truth, then S-dismay Hawk’s anxiety at the seeming might of Zoro in his basic form is good news for Zoro and his supporters while portending disaster for Mihawk and his followers.
