On March 14, 2023, the whole spoiler synopsis for Chapter 1078 of One Piece was revealed, revealing some major new information about the Egghead Island subplot. Previous spoilers have already identified Vegapunk York as the traitor, but the newest ones detail her treason in great detail. The complete synopsis reveals that the Straw Hats are beginning to grow apart from one another, probably in preparation for a showdown with York. The narrator keeps stressing how important what’s happening on Egghead Island is, leading the reader to believe that a major development is still to come. Even after the Straw Hats have split up and the Vegapunks have been wiped out, Chapter 1078 of One Piece still has to cover the “Egghead Incident.”
Spoilers for the whole plot description
A complete synopsis of One Piece, Chapter 1078 The first hint of a spoiler is the cover art, which depicts Vinsmoke Judge and Caesar Clown making out. Neo MADs is created, the caption proclaims, with images of jubilant Germa 66 troops. But behind them, Vinsmoke Reiju and Ichiji can be heard sighing, suggesting that they are unhappy with the alliance. Stussy opens the chapter’s main material by communicating with Sentomaru via Den Den Mushi. She informs him that Marine reinforcements are scheduled to accompany Admiral Kizaru to Egghead Island. Stussy asserts that the World Government is being too cautious since Vegapunk’s research has already outpaced Ohara’s findings and because Egghead Island has a defensive force whereas Ohara does not. Because of this, the World Government is conducting operations that go much beyond those of a typical Buster Call. Chapter 1078 of One Piece begins with residents of Egghead Island making their way to safety, before switching to a look at Franky and company. Franky can still speak, but since half of his body is now stone, he is immobile.
Meanwhile, a distraught Vegapunk Pythagoras asks S-Snake who gave her the order. Then instead of answering, she stomps on his skull, setting off a massive explosion. Even though the purported complete summary spoilers don’t specify what happens to Pythagoras in this scene, it’s safe to conclude that he meets a violent end. Next, the focus of One Piece Chapter 1078 moves on to Nico Robin’s crew, where the readers get to watch her determine that something could be going on with Dr Vegapunk, Stella’s body, while the Seraphim run amok. According to Vegapunk Atlas, there is one sealed-off lab that has been abandoned for some time. In such case, Robin has her instantly take her and Chopper to that location. Again, we see Nami with Vegapunk Edison in her arms as the book turns back to Sanji and company. Brook, now in ghost form, promises to find Dr Vegapunk as Sanji continues to battle S-Shark. Sanji seems to let S-Shark hit him, but he suffers no ill effects from the Seraphim’s attack, which he attributes entirely to the “power of love.”
Chapter 1078 of One Piece switches viewpoints back to Luffy’s crew, where the S-Hawk and S-Bear Seraphim are refusing to extinguish their Lunarian fires. As a result, Luffy and the others still can’t do any harm to them. Yet at that moment, everyone understands that S-Hawk is no longer participating in the battle. For this reason, Lucci concludes that the Seraphim moved his focus to the lesser fighters in the gang, hoping to divert attention away from Luffy and the other more powerful members. This causes Luffy and Lucci to continue battling S-Bear while Zoro and Kaku go in search of S-Hawk. While viewers watch Princess Bonney sobbing in front of a statue honouring her late father, Bartholomew Kuma, the narrator begins narrating. The events of the day before the infamous “Egghead Incident” are described in Chapter 1078 of One Piece, although its genesis may be traced back three months earlier. The story then rewinds to show that Dr Vegapunk was investigating the Void Century after Mariejois received an anonymous tip about it from Egghead Island.
For this reason, the Global Government dispatched the Cipher Pol ships to investigate. The agents on board found no signs of such investigation, but they all mysteriously disappeared on the return trip. The caller then tried to get in touch with Mariejois again, this time asking to talk with the Gorosei instead. In One Piece Chapter 1078, an unknown caller convinces the Gorosei that Vegapunk betrayed them. This is what prompted CP0 to issue the directive to wipe out Dr Vegapunk and his six Satellites. Though Admiral Kizaru and the Marines were dispatched to the island, they also sent one of their own there as a precaution. Current events on Egghead Island in the manga include this massive army, which has already reached war proportions. Admiral Kizaru, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn of the Gorosei, Vice Admiral Doll, and other fresh Marines are seen in a montage while the narrator continues. An analogy to the Marineford arrival montages in Chapter 524 has been made. Then, in Chapter 1078 of One Piece, the narrator says, “the climax of ‘Egghead Incident’ in the following day would shock the globe in a way no one has envisioned.”
Finally, the issue switches viewpoints to reveal that Vegapunk York is, in fact, the traitor. She reappears before Dr Vegapunk, this time with a more sinister version of her former smile. In speaking with Dr Vegapunk, York refers to him by the name “Stella” and expresses her excitement at the prospect of becoming a Celestial Dragon because of her cooperation by telling him that she will become one. Dr Vegapunk doesn’t see why she would want to hang out with such scum. She responds with a chuckle, saying that’s what Shaka would say if he weren’t dead, before concluding that the Vegapunks are a nuisance and the world only needs one person like them. Without announcing a hiatus for the next week, this edition concludes. After all that has happened, this is some much-needed relief.
