Egghead
Futuristic tech, giant alien monsters, battle robots, superhuman clones... Who are all these people calling themselves Dr. Vegapunk, and why is the government after one of their own?
Futuristic tech, giant alien monsters, battle robots, superhuman clones... Who are all these people calling themselves Dr. Vegapunk, and why is the government after one of their own?
The Straw Hats rave over new bounties, and Crocodile and Mihawk pay Buggy a visit. Elsewhere, Dragon and his revolutionaries are shocked when they read about Sabo in the news, and an old comrade returns, a shell of his former self.
The three-way struggle between the Marines, the Blackbeard Pirates, and the Kuja Pirates comes to an end when an unexpected figure shows up. On the Sunny, the Straw Hats talk about the recent incidents around the world and Luffy’s words surprise everyone.
Sabo contacts his comrades, which prompts a certain eavesdropper to take action against an entire island nation! Meanwhile, Luffy, Chopper, and Jinbe alongside a mysterious girl become separated from the rest of the Straw Hats when a giant shark attacks.
Franky and Luffy's groups are split up, but each encounter a person claiming to be Dr. Vegapunk. On the island, Luffy and co. find convenient food and futuristic clothing, but when a pacifista shows up, Bonney reveals her shocking relationship with Kuma.
Lilith takes the Sunny and its remaining crew to the laboratory in the clouds, where a new threat lurking within its corridors attacks unexpectedly. As the battle ensues, Vegapunk's satellites look on with excitement.
Vegapunk Shaka shares his theory about an ancient kingdom and the Void Century. He also reminisces about the foundation of Dragon's Revolutionary Army. Meanwhile, Luffy and Chopper try to activate the giant robot when something surprising happens.
After Vegapunk shares his dream with Luffy's group, he asks the Straw Hat captain for a big favor. Meanwhile, CP0 ignores their lack of invitation to Egghead and get around the island defenses to make landfall.
As the rematch between Luffy and Lucci kicks off, Dr. Vegapunk notices something very fascinating about the Straw Hat captain's new abilities. Meanwhile, Sentomaru arrives with the latest pacifista models as a very unlikely ally to the pirates!
To avenge her father, Bonney chases Dr. Vegapunk through the lab, but a familiar symbol catches her eye. As she investigates, the satellites call in an unexpected favor to finally deal with CP0's rampage outside the lab.
Upon mysterious orders, Stussy betrays Lucci and Kaku. Lilith and Edison also hurry outside the lab to stop the rampaging seraphim. Meanwhile, the main Dr. Vegapunk goes missing, and Admiral Kizaru escorts a powerful and commanding entity toward Egghead.
The search for Dr. Vegapunk's main body is threatened by the deadly seraphim, only this time the satellites' orders are unable to pacify them. Faced with a tough decision, Luffy and Zoro must team up with the most unlikely of allies.
Luffy, Zoro, Lucci, and Kaku combine their might, and a chivalrous cook rescues Nami from near defeat. Meanwhile, Lilith, Usopp, and Franky are stopped in their tracks by someone very deadly, yet very cute.
Eustass "Captain" Kid sails in, guns blazing against Elbaph while Shanks of the Red Hair Pirates defends his crew and friends... without an ounce of mercy.
While Koby desperately attempts to flee Beehive, Cross Guild's bounty entices the hundreds of pirates there to hunt him down. But before they can seal his fate and claim the prize, a familiar Marine warship descends from the sky!
While Cross Guild grows into a serious concern for the Marines, Buggy makes an impassioned speech to spur his crew into a zealous fervor. Additionally, Sabo returns to his comrades and begins his report on the events that happened at the Reverie.
During the Reverie, Sabo and Bonney met and worked together toward the same goal. King Cobra also met with the Five Elders to ask some hard questions, in the process learning the dark truth of the world.
At the time of the Reverie, Wapol overheard something he shouldn't have and fled the Holy Land with an unlikely partner. On the heels of these events, Imu ordered the Five Elders to test a devastating weapon engineered by Dr. Vegapunk!
At Pirate Island, Vice Admiral Garp continues the Koby extraction mission, but Avalo Pizarro's devil fruit powers threaten to sink the rescue ship. Garp, weakened from an attack by Shiryu, entrusts the operation's success to the next generation.
