Recap
By giving them the tale of Ohara, an island whose inhabitants were exterminated due to their opposition to the government, Sentomaru hopes to convince the people of Fabriophase to abandon the island. As a result, the Isle of Ohara became the site of the biggest library in the world, where many academics met to study poneglyphs despite the forbidden nature of the subject. The researchers and everybody else who was on the island were therefore executed by marines, leaving Nico Robin as the lone survivor. Despite his status as the world’s brightest man, the marines are chasing Dr Vegapunk because they aim to kill him. The worst aspect is that Egghead Island will be the epicentre of a major disaster. When Kaku and Zoro team up against S-Hawk, Lucci and Luffy continue to battle S-Bear in the fourth building A’s control room. Seraphim keep coming back, like they’re Kaido or something, despite all of their strikes. According to Zoro, the seraphs are just as mad as King, the man Zoro fought in Wano. It must be Alber, the test subject who escaped Punk Hazard with Kaido a long time ago, said Shaka, agreeing with Zoro.
Shaka shocks everyone by saying that the seraphims’ durability comes from Lunarian blood. Zoro warns them to watch the flames on their backs since when they’re gone, they’ll be able to deal greater damage. Afterwards, Shaka declares that he has located Dr Vegapunk and chooses to abandon the battle. On the top level of Building A, Nami, Brook, and the others do battle with the S-Shark. While Nami hits her with a Thunder Shock, S-Shark immediately dives back into the sea to pursue her. Sanji employs the “Rare Fillet Strike” method to punish S-Shark for frightening Nami and making her scream before the seraph can strike Nami. When S-Snake frightened York, Lilith decides to fight it head-to-head. With the power of the sea channelled via her bubble pistol, Lilith defeats S-Snake. Nevertheless, this is only a momentary advantage, as Franky gets kicked in the face before he can successfully catch S-Snake. With her Love, Mellow, and Perfume Femur assaults, S-Snake manages to turn everyone into stone, including Usopp, Franky, and Lilith. In contrast, Shaka comes upon the cornered Cipher Pol operatives and Dr Vegapunk in the subterranean ancient devil fruit research facility. Dr Vegapunk is rendered speechless as he watches Shaka bleed to death on the ground after being shot in the back of the skull.
New Leaks
On the evening of March 13, 2023, official One Piece spoilers were revealed, having been approved by Redon and Etenboby, the series’ most prominent leakers. Some of the unsubstantiated spoilers that had been published before the film’s release turned out to be true, although most of them were just as questionable as most viewers had suspected. Fans of One Piece weren’t surprised when the leaks were debunked, but they were stunned by the confirmed spoilers and the events they revealed. Leaks of Chapter 1078 suggest that the Vegapunk traitor is someone who few, if any, fans would have imagined. The traitor’s motivations and goals are also unexpected.
Fans have been clamouring for a complete breakdown of what seems to be a very interesting issue, but at the very least, the verified spoilers have proven themselves to be worth the wait. In this post, we’ll go over all the spoilers for One Piece chapter 1078 that have been verified as of now by the mangaka and author Eiichiro Oda. Vegapunk York is revealed to be a traitor in Chapter 1078 of One Piece, and her desire to become a Celestial Dragon is exposed.
Verified early spoilers
Spoilers for the next One Piece manga issue 1078 begin with specifics about the cover art. The only real description is that “Neo MADS” is established, which is unfortunately not very descriptive. This a possible allusion to the cover of the preceding issue, in which Vinsmoke Judge and Caesar Clown appear to join forces against Dr Vegapunk. Fans might have thought this meant they were on their way to Egghead Island, but it appears to be the birth of the next generation of the MADS outlaw research organisation. Yet, it is by no means certain that they will not show up on Egghead Island at any time in the story arc. The spoilers for the next issue of One Piece suggest that Vegapunk York is the traitor, which would be a surprising change of events given that she has been turned to stone in the most recent chapters. Her goals of becoming the sole Vegapunk and becoming a Celestial Dragon are also stated.
First-look spoilers The reasons for York’s actions are not explored further than what has already been mentioned. Though her reputation as a symbol of Dr Vegapunk’s avarice makes it simple to deduce her motivations, the fact remains that she made this decision. York’s comfortable lifestyle would come to an end if Dr Vegapunk severed connections with the World Government. This also clarifies why she has set her sights on becoming a Celestial Dragon instead of just requesting that the World Government continue making allowances for her. The spoilers continue by saying that in the next issue of One Piece, Franky will still be awake. Yet he can’t move since half his body turned to stone. While it isn’t revealed in the spoilers, the fact that he is still aware of his surroundings is probably how viewers find out about York’s betrayal and her exact goals.
Shifting gears to Sanji vs S-Shark, the first spoilers continue. Contrary to the unverified rumours that Sanji’s kicking the Seraphim had no impact, it has now been shown that S-Shark really punched Sanji in vain. This contrast may seem minor, but it highlights Sanji’s ability to withstand Lunar-level punishment rather than dish it out. Once Redon and Etenboby reveal some details about the next issue of One Piece, the narrator has something to say about what to expect. As they put it, “tomorrow, the consequence of this event (the one taking place in Egghead) will shock the whole planet.” For a number of reasons, including what appears to be the near-term resolution of the Egghead Island arc, this is a very intriguing line. The fact that Big News Morgans is mentioned in connection with an incident that “shook the whole globe” adds credence to the theory that he or she is located on Egghead Island.
The prospect of Princess Vivi Nefertari of Alabasta reconciling with the Straw Hats has also increased. It seems probable that Vegapunk York won’t be coming along on this trip, so Vivi can fill in for him. Regrettably, this is the conclusion of the first round of spoilers, leaving fans of One Piece with a lot of questions. As the week unfolds, we should see the release of spoiler summaries, raw scans, and scanlations for the forthcoming issue.
Disclosures of recent spoilers
Fans of One Piece have been eager to learn the traitor’s identity behind Egghead Island’s mayhem for months. Spoilers for the next chapter reveal that fans, despite their best guesses, were entirely wrong about who the traitor was. The largest explosion, however, has yet to be unleashed. One Piece chapter 1078 spoilers have hinted that the global impact of the events taking place on Egghead Island would be profound. Here’s a synopsis of what occurs in chapter 1078 if you can’t wait for the complete publication. Judge and Ceaser are shown on the cover of the new chapter “Escape Time Limit” embracing one another while Nazi soldiers cheer their newfound friendship. It’s possible to make out Renju and Ichiji in the background, as well. At the beginning of this chapter, Stussy is overheard speaking with Sentoumaru, informing him of the arrival of Marine Forces on Egghead Island as a backup, first, because the Egghead Island has a defence force, and second because the World Government has begun taking extreme precautions due to Vega punk’s extensive research that goes far beyond Ohara. People on Egghead Island start leaving as the World Government takes drastic action.
Franky’s gang is seen, and he is immobile from the waist down since half of his body has turned to stone. Yet, he is able to communicate with others. The now-hysterical Pythagoras demands to know from S-Snake who gave her the instructions, but she keeps silent and leaps on him, setting off a massive explosion. Afterwards, we meet Robin, who fears that something terrible has happened to Stella. Robin then requests that Atlas take her and Chopper to the one deserted lab he mentions. Sanji’s crew is back at the station, and Nami is holding Edison. Brook, in his ghost form, has decided to go in search of Vegapunk. Sanji continues to let S-Shark punch him, yet he takes no damage. This, Sanji observes, is due to the potency of love. Back with Luffy and crew: the Seraphim aren’t putting out their fires, so they’re still a challenge. Luffy realises that S-Hawk has vanished and assumes that he has gone to attack the weaker members of the gang so that the focus of the stronger members is taken away from them. Thus, Zoro and Kaku decide to go with S-Hawk, while Luffy and Lucci keep fighting S-Bear. In the following panel, we meet Bonny, who has been sitting and grieving at Kuma’s recollections. The narrator explains, “All of these things occurred the day before the infamous “Egghead Incident.” This affair, however, has roots that reach back three months.” We next see a flashback to when Holy Land Mary Geoise was contacted by an unknown party who said that Vegapunk had been investigating the Void Century. So the Global Government dispatched some CPO agents to look into it, but they never came back.
The anonymous caller called again after some time and insisted on speaking with Gorousei personally. Gorousei sent the CPO agents after Vegapunk because the unknown individual had convinced him that he was the traitor. One member of Gorousei volunteered to go personally, and the rest of the Marines from all of the Marine Bases and Kizaru would join them if Vegapunk retaliated. Then, Saturn, Kizaru, Vice Admiral Doll, and the Marines all appear as a band. The narrator continues by saying the incident’s climax will shock the globe in ways no one can foresee. By the end of the chapter, the reader learns that York is the traitor and that he is the one standing in front of Stella. She is again depicted with a smile on her face, but this time it is a sinister one. Then follows a dialogue between York, who announces her intention to become a Tenryuubito, and Stella, who asks why York would wish to transform into such a nasty human being. Shaka, York notes, would say such a thing if he were still alive. In the chapter’s finale, she states that there can be only one Vegapunk.
Latest Updates for Chapter 1078
On March 15, 2023, raw scans for One Piece chapter 1078 were made public, providing a fascinating early peek at the issue. Additionally, the revelation of the raw scans almost formally confirms the previously revealed material. Importantly, it appears that Vegapunk York is the Vegapunk traitor. The raw scans of One Piece chapter 1078 explain how she did this, perhaps by anonymously phoning Mariejois and informing them about Dr Vegapunk’s study into the Void Century. She may have even discussed this with the Gorosei personally, which would help shed light on why Saint Jaygarcia Saturn has decided to visit Egghead Isle on his own. In Chapter 1078 of One Piece, Vegapunk York’s betrayal of her brothers in the “Egghead Incident” is detailed.
Raw Scans
The raw scans for One Piece chapter 1078 start with the cover story, which depicts Caesar Clown and Vinsmoke Judge of the “NEO MADS” holding hands and proclaiming their establishment. Soldiers from Germa 66 can be seen celebrating the reunion, but Judge’s offspring and Germa force leaders, Vinsmoke Reiju and Vinsmoke Icihiji can be seen sighing. Following this, Stussy opens the issue’s plot material by sharing an announcement with Sentomaru. She seems worried, and after hearing her comments, he does too. Given that he inspires the inhabitants of Egghead to start leaving in the panels that follow, it appears likely that she informed him of Kizaru’s soldiers’ impending approach, as the full summary spoilers had predicted. Franky’s crew takes over as the point of view in One Piece chapter 1078 raw scans, with Usopp and Vegapunk Lilith still in a state of complete terror. Half of Franky’s upper body and all of his lower body is petrified, yet he is still able to communicate and move his left arm. Here, he and Vegapunk Pythagoras say something to S-Snake that apparently irritates her, as seen by the fact that she steps on Pythagoras’ head.
When she leaves, the issue switches back to Nico Robin and his friends to see the aftermath of the attack, which includes a huge explosion. While talking about something, Robin, Tony Tony Chopper, and Vegapunk Atlas are seen speeding around the lab. It appears like the group makes a course correction after hearing a statement from Atlas, and then the topic is framed differently once more. Thereafter, the raw scans of Chapter 1078 of One Piece centre on Nami’s crew, as she is shown clutching Vegapunk Edison while Brook transforms into his ghost form. Spoilers for the entire plot implied that this was a mission to find Dr Vegapunk himself while Sanji held off S-Shark. When we talk about Sanji, we witness him taking a hit from S-Shark and seemingly not getting hurt at all. Again, the focus of the issue moves to Luffy, Zoro, and the company. Once the gang has finished talking about something, Zoro runs out, and Luffy orders Kaku to follow him so that he doesn’t get lost.
The story’s perspective turns once again to a flashback of Mariejois, and the narrator begins speaking. A panel depicting Cipher Pol operatives presenting a paper to Dr Vegapunk suggests that someone is communicating with the World Government about his investigation. It appears that this unknown individual made a second contact with the World Government, but before the flashback continues, we witness Luffy and Lucci fighting S-Bear. The next scene in One Piece Chapter 1078 has the Gorosei conversing with someone, while Jewelry Bonney sobs in front of physical reminders of her late father. According to earlier revelations, the traitor is Vegapunk York, who stands in for Dr Vegapunk’s greed. Vice Admiral Doll, Admiral Kizaru, and Saint Jaygarcia Saturn of the Gorosei are among the Marines heading to Egghead Island in this issue.
It then cuts to views of the Thousand Sunny, Admiral Akainu, Gear 5 Luffy, and the Gorosei member who looks like Gorbachev. Before the last viewpoint switch in One Piece chapter 1078, we get a quick glimpse of Egghead Island. This time, the story moves the audience to the dungeon where Dr Vegapunk is being held. The assailant approaches Dr Vegapunk, where Vegapunk Shaka lies apparently unconscious or dead. In the issue’s last pages, we see Vegapunk York, armed with a gun, approached Dr Vegapunk and explain her motivations to him.
New Spoilers for Chapter 1078
This is a reminder that the release of One Piece chapter 1078 is scheduled for March 20, 2023, at 12 am JST. Twitter has become a leaky source of spoilers for the chapter, and the synopsis and raw scans are due out in the coming days. Spoiler alert! Vegapunk York is the traitor on Egghead Island, as revealed in the first verified leak for One Piece chapter 1078. The identity of the traitor has been up for debate for the previous several chapters, so this is a startling turn of events for readers.
Spoilers for Chapter 1078 of One Piece name the traitor Vegapunk York.
One Piece chapter 1078’s first spoiler was tweeted out by Pewpiece and Abdullah-San on March 13, 2023. Also, the ONE PIECE Spoilers Twitter account shared the spoiler. The user tweets about York being the traitor who has been destroying Strawhats and Vegapunk for the past several chapters. This is an enormous spoiler, as readers have been building suspense over the previous several chapters in the hopes of discovering the traitor’s identity. This spoiler does more than just build anticipation for chapter 1078; it has serious plot implications, as Vegapunk York is a pivotal figure who is on Egghead island with the Strawhats.
Vegapunk York has been suspected as the traitor since early on, and some fans claim that Oda has already hinted at this. There’s a passage in chapter 1061 of the manga that essentially says you can’t make things do what you want them to. This may be a reference to York, who is often seen as representing the “greed” component of Vegapunk. However, York is not helping Cipher Pol or the World Government, since she had no qualms about assaulting Lucci and others with the Seraphims’ assistance in chapter 1077. This strongly suggests that the Vegapunk satellites were at odds with one another, a situation that may have been sparked by York’s ambitions to control the information processing capabilities of Vegapunk.
The above tweet was sent by @pewpiece on Twitter prior to the release of the York spoiler and suggests that the traitor on Egghead Island is a friend or ally. He compared the current scenario to Wano when Kanjuro posed as an ally but was actually a traitor, in a tweet. York spoiler is likely legit given the sources that leaked it has high credibility in the community. Yet there’s no hard evidence to back up the other hypotheses regarding why York betrayed Vegapunk and the Strawhats. The complete spoiler cycle for Chapter 1078 has begun, and fans are freaking out on Twitter. The spoilers offer the fandom something fresh to talk about, which raises anticipation for the next chapter.
Just some of the fan reactions to the spoiler:
Some fans are rejoicing that they were correct about this Major bombshell, while others are doubting the disclosure or even denying that it is real. The One Piece community as a whole is quite excited about Chapter 1078 because of this spoiler, whether or not it is true. How Oda executes this surprise, as well as any other significant changes he makes in the next few chapters of One Piece, will be fascinating to watch. Considering Oda’s unexpected character, it’s likely that the forthcoming chapters will have a profound impact on the fandom as a whole.
Someone has gone rogue on Egghead Island, but no one knows who it is. Who killed Dr Vegapunk Shaka with a bullet to the head? Who exactly is he? A Marine spy, or one of Dr Vegapunk’s satellites?
