The conflict on Egghead, where Dr Vegapunk is trying to escape from the World Government with the assistance of the Strawhat Pirates, continued in One Piece 1073, the first episode of the series after a long layoff. Several intriguing clues regarding the current power scaling of One Piece were revealed in this chapter, giving readers a clearer understanding of how the series’ protagonists stack up against one another. Read this thread for a comprehensive analysis of the key power scaling indicators in One Piece chapter 1073. Power scaling hints for One Piece may be found in chapter 1073.
Stussy pulverised Lucci like he was made of straw
Stussy’s startling betrayal of Lucci and Kaku in Chapter 1072 of One Piece caught everyone off guard. A flawless replica of former Rocks Pirate member Miss Buckingham Stussy, she was revealed to be MADS’s first successful cloning experiment, No. 1 “Stussy,” shocking the fandom at large. Kaku had just gotten up from the ground after being smashed there by Zoro at the end of One Piece 1072. Stussy’s surprising betrayal as a Vegapunk buddy was revealed when she sneaked up on Kaku and bit him. The CP0 agent’s initial reaction was to fall asleep. Stussy, who towered above Kaku’s comatose body, showed off bat-like features including pointed fangs and wings. She then made threats at Lucci, saying she would injure him in the same way she did his coworker. Some viewers of One Piece felt that Stussy was just lucky in this situation, as she had attacked a character who had his back turned and would not have been able to defend herself.
However, One Piece 1073 established without a reasonable doubt that Stussy is unquestionably more strong than Lucci and Kaku. She first used a sneak strike to kill Kaku, and then completely destroyed Lucci in a one-on-one fight. Lucci went for the kill with a Shigan, but she parried his blow with ease by employing a refined form of the Kami-e Rokushiki method. She took this opportunity to sneak up on Lucci from behind and apply Seastone lipstick on his lips. When Lucci, a user of the Devil Fruit, came into touch with Seastone, he lost all of his strength. Stussy was therefore able to bite him without any difficulty. Lucci, like Kaku, succumbed instantly to sleep as a result of her vampire-like abilities. This was, without a doubt, a phenomenal show. Even though Lucci is a formidable opponent, Stussy outdid him. She used her unusual skills to defeat him with a single blow.
Stussy lauded Lucci’s and Kaku’s strengths before putting him to sleep, explaining that it would be more prudent to quickly take them down than to face them to a long fight. But that in no way lessens her supremacy over them. She probably pictured the two of them working together to take her on as a “2v1.” As more evidence of her superiority, consider the surprising ease with which she dealt with Lucci.
Zoro instilled terror in the very Seraphim who had pressed Blackbeard
CP0 agents sent Seraphims to demolish the lab and its surrounds as part of their attempt to assassinate Vegapunk. Seraphims, cyborgs with the signature talents of past Warlords and the capabilities of the Lunarian race, won’t stop until they get complete and explicit instruction. That’s why the S-Hawk, one of the Seraphims, was going to execute Vegapunk Lilith. S-Hawk attempted to slash Zoro, but he was easily deflected by the nimble Zoro. The Seraphim was taken aback by Zoro’s might throughout the next battle. This event energised the faithful and caused a frenzy of enthusiasm. The most formidable of the Seraphim, S-Hawk, has been singled out. He could cut in half the tallest peak in Amazon Lily with one swift slash. Blackbeard, one of the Four Emperors and a very tough guy, had to use Armament Haki to protect himself from S-attack.
Zoro’s ability to block and frighten against S-Hawk, who even Blackbeard found difficult to underestimate, is all the more remarkable given that he did it with just two of his three blades and by holding back his King of Hell Style. Blackbeard had to employ the Black Hole, a named technique of his Dark-Dark Fruit, in addition to his Armament Haki and raw physical power to parry S-slash. Zoro smiled confidently at S-Hawk, but Blackbeard looked very intimidated by him. Moreover, the Seraphim was underwhelmed by the confrontation with Blackbeard, but the fight with Zoro led him to show obvious indications of concern. Zoro appeared more at ease than Blackbeard did since none of them used their finest skills against the Seraphim. To suggest that this sequence is designed to show that Zoro is stronger than Blackbeard is, however, a bit much. S-surprise Hawk’s at Zoro’s strength is obviously intended as a substantial boost for the swordsman, and the author’s use of Blackbeard as a comparison should be seen as a boost for Zoro rather than as a straight comparison between Zoro’s and the Emperor’s might. At this point in time, it seems premature to say that Zoro is on par with the Admirals and Emperors in terms of might. The good news is that he has the strength to stand up to them. In subsequent arcs of One Piece, he will unquestionably achieve and even exceed that level by making use of his ability.
Former Warlord Edward Weevil was vanquished by Admiral Ryokugyu
The events on Whitebeard’s birthplace, Sphinx Island, which is now safe under Marco’s care, were also summarised in One Piece vol. 1073. Marines took advantage of the island being undefended to launch an attack. Edward Weevil, however, proved to be too much for them. The Marines have unfortunately returned. They came to Admiral Ryokugyu this time, and he easily slew Weevil and took him captive. Many viewers were shocked by the result, what with all the buzz around Weevil and Ryokugyu’s poor performances.
Former member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Edward Weevil is a formidable adversary. Weevil claims that Whitebeard, a former Yonko and current World’s Strongest Man, is his biological father. Weeevil, like Whitebeard before him, carries a huge naginata. Given that Admiral Kizaru once likened Weevil’s powers to Whitebeard when they were both much younger, it’s safe to say that Weevil is a formidable character. For this reason, few spectators anticipated a victory for Ryokugyu, let alone one so decisive. After the World Military Draft, Ryokugyu (real name Aramaki) was promoted to the rank of Marine Admiral. The fact that he is an Admiral and has the Devil Fruit of the Logia kind, the Woods-Woods Fruit, suggests that Ryokugyu is a formidable warrior. His shows, however, failed to impress. The King and Queen were already weakened from their previous beatings, so it was easy for him to defeat them in a 1v2 combat.
In addition, Shanks inspired extreme fear in him. Ryokugyu backed aside once the Emperor used his Conqueror’s Haki. As a result, Ryokugyu’s strength has been elevated in the eyes of his fan base after his triumph over Weevil. Ryokugyu’s victory over Weevil, who is widely regarded as a formidable Commander-level fighter, is a notable accomplishment for the Admiral.
In Conclusion
The supposed CP0 agent had already risen to prominence inside MADS when it was uncovered that she was a clone of Miss Buckingham Stussy. Her credibility was established by her skilful use of Rokushiki to defeat Lucci, an expert in her own right. Stussy’s toughness was shown when she went toe-to-toe with Lucci and came out on top. She is an over-Comander level combatant due to her speed, Rokushiki expertise, hazardous blood-sucking bites, and Seastone use. She could have an advantage over other people who consume Devil Fruit.
As of this point in the story, Zoro has proven himself capable of taking on Admirals and Emperors. His combined use of the Nine Swords and King of Hell styles should give him a tremendous peak. And it’s probable he’s fluent in Enma. Zoro destroyed King, a formidable opponent on par with Marco and Katakuri, once he unlocked the Advanced Conqueror’s Haki, an accomplishment that, in Kaido’s estimation, immediately places him among the most substantial characters. Zoro has obviously advanced to a higher level, having long since passed the Commander stage.
Despite the fact that many readers didn’t hold Admiral Ryokugyu in high regard prior to One Piece 1073, that opinion has now changed. Edward Weevil, a previous member of the Seven Warlords, was revealed to have been defeated by Ryokugyu. As the second-strongest Warlord, Weevil was often compared to Dracule Mihawk. It’s impressive that Ryokugyu was able to completely destroy him, yet it’s not entirely unexpected. An Admiral in the Marine Corps is not to be trifled with.
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.
