On Monday, March 6, 2023, the first spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1077 were made available online, and they revealed some very frightening occurrences. Straw Hat’s sharpshooter is the target of an extended-range attack on Vegapunk Shaka, where the S-Snake Seraphim is busy turning more victims into stone statues. Even with the lack of context, the first spoilers for Chapter 1077 are among the most thrilling and interesting in recent memory. There is little question that in the next few days, fans will witness a ground-breaking chapter come to light as additional information becomes accessible from reliable sources. The events of Chapter 1077 of One Piece appear to prepare the Straw Hats to remain on Egghead Island for quite some time.
Early reveals
The issue is titled “You Should Have Realized That Sooner” in the previews. The obvious allusion to the Vegapunk traitor in the title suggests that the identity of this villain may soon be revealed to the audience. The issue’s apparent resolution lends credence to this theory. “[Vinsmoke] Judge and Caesar [Clown] understand that [Dr.] Vegapunk is their actual barrier,” it reads on the cover. Apart from Dr Vegapunk, the other founding members of MADS, among them Queen of the Beast Pirates, intended to fight the war, not promote peace, therefore this is probably an allusion to that. This distinction between the two has also been emphasised in recent cover articles.
From the outset, spoilers reveal that Zoro has learned the Seraphim possess powers akin to those of the King of the Beast Pirates. Because King is a Lunarian, it’s safe to assume that the Seraphim also have some Lunarian Lineage Factors infused into their DNA. The tanned skin, white hair, and black wings all point to the fact that this is the case. Vegapunk Lilith, we learn from early One Piece Chapter 1077 spoilers, employs the Bubble Gun (already seen in several issues) to defeat S-Snake Seraphim. But she gets away and in the process turns Usopp to stone. Author and artist Eiichiro Oda probably invented this call so that the Straw Hats would have an excuse to remain on Egghead Island until Kizaru and his troops arrived. That’s right; Usopp will probably be sent back without any damage coming to him.
The chapter supposedly concludes with “someone” shooting Vegapunk Shaka in the head, which then “explodes,” according to the original spoilers. The attacker’s name will probably not be exposed in this problem given the usage of the word “someone” to identify them. Based on what has been reported as the chapter’s title, readers should expect the truth to emerge soon. Chapter 1077 marked the return of One Piece after a weeklong hiatus. Nevertheless, it has been reported that the next issue would be issued on March 9, 2023, with chapter 1078 coming on March 16, 2023, thus it appears that the break has been cancelled. This rumoured shift in the release date should be taken with a grain of salt for the time being, as official sources have not verified it.
After this, what will happen?
The earliest teasers for One Piece Chapter 1077 are obviously laying the groundwork for greater disclosures by withholding certain details. For instance, given Oda’s writing approach, the reader may expect to see the assailant’s silhouette in the issue before the shot is fired. The supposed title of this issue implies that the hints and pieces are there, as they always are, provided fans are ready and able to put them together. It’s possible that solving this problem may help identify the traitor. Due to the supposedly imminent official publication date of the chapter, the early spoilers may not be addressing their identity. As further spoilers and raw scans are expected in the days leading up to the official release, this may also suggest that leakers are opting to hold off on doing any further leaks this week.
Zoro’s discovery that the Seraphim share some of King’s powers hints that the next issue will have a larger number of Seraphim models for Luffy, Lucci, and Kaku to battle. The quartet has probably moved on to saving Nami’s group and the other search teams because it’s highly improbable that S-Bear and S-Hawk have already returned for a rematch. The fact that Zoro heard Nami cry in chapter 1076 makes this quite possible. On March 12, 2023, the next official chapter of One Piece will be available to readers on the Shueisha websites.
