Summary
One Pieceofficially concluded the story of the brain-wrecking andsecret-laden Egghead Island, addressing all the plot points of this particular arc, and is now ready to move to the anticipated Elbaf Arc withchapter #1124. Egghead was a testament to Eiichiro Oda’s mastery of storytelling and his profound ability to interconnect complex narratives, proving that even the smallest details in the story have significant meanings.
While Egghead Island may not have ended with an epic battle featuring the protagonist defeating the villain, it masterfully sets the stage for the series' future developments and its eventual conclusion. With the conclusion of the Egghead Island arc comes the revelation of the Straw Hats' next destination:the long-awaited Elbaf, the Land of the Warriors. The Egghead arc has laid a solid foundation for unraveling numerous mysteries, many of which are likely to be explored in the Elbaf Arc.
The potential to delve deeper intoLuffy’s Gear Five transformation and its connection to Joyboyis especially great. Diving into the lore of Joyboy’s origin, Elbaf could potentially also feature the mysterious character’s connection with the World Government and his ultimate defeat during the Void Century. However, for now, the Straw Hats, along with their allies, are likely to receive a warm welcome in Elbaf, embracing the rich culture of the Giants. WithOne Piece#1223 just around the corner, there’s plenty for fans to be excited about as the adventure continues.

Haki is still undergoing developments as the latest chapter just introduced an intriguing concept that could be pivotal.
What Happened inOne PieceChapter #1123?
Dr. Vegapunk’s Death Was Planned
One PieceChapter #1223,“The Void Fortnight”, begins by highlighting the effect of the Joyboy’s Haki being released, causing numerous pirates and Navy officers to collapse unconscious. Even the co-captains of the Giant Warriors, Dorry, and Brogy, question whether this overwhelmingHaki surpasses even that of Shanks. As Luffy bids farewell to Emeth, the Iron Giant, the rest of the crew aboard the giants' ship eagerly anticipate their next destination, Elbaf. Meanwhile, Sanji confronts the (supposedly) dead Vegapunk Stella, questioning whether this was the outcome he had been hoping for.
The narrative shifts to a flashback, revealing Dr. Vegapunk’s meticulous planning, including his death. This flashback begins with Dr. Vegapunk and his other selves, Shaka, and Pythagoras, exploring the culprit whostole a fragment of the Mother Flame, narrowing down the possibility of the culprit to be one of the remaining Vegapunks. A week later, Pythagoras uncovers evidence implicating York is the thief. The very next day, the Lulusia Kingdom is wiped off the map, leading Vegapunk to the chilling realization that the World Government possesses an ancient weapon and that the stolen Mother Flame was used to power it.
With York having already exposed Dr. Vegapunk and his companions for their research into the Void Century, the genius scientist realizes that he and his allies will be hunted down until they are eliminated. Accepting this fate, Vegapunk decides that his research and the truth must be revealed to the world, believing it is the right thing to do. This flashback ends with Dr. Vegapunk, Shaka, and Pythagoras erasing their memory to set their plan in motion. As the flashback concludes and the chapter comes to a close, Dr. Vegapunk expresses his wish to Sanji:he wants the Straw Hats to find the One Piece.
What Will Happen InOne PieceChapter #1124?
Although the Straw Hats' next destination has been confirmed as Elbaf Island, there is a slim chance thatOne PieceChapter #1224 will feature their arrival. Following theseries' well-known pattern, the story often shifts focus to other significant events around the world before the Straw Hats reach their destination. As a result, the next issue might instead delve deeper into the aftermath and global impact of Dr. Vegapunk’s broadcast. However, Egghead Arc has already featured many of these “looks” at events around the world, so the pattern of the series may have changed.
The global reaction to Dr. Vegapunk’s broadcast has only been hinted at so far, but now that the message has ended, the full impact will be felt. While this message has startled normal citizens, pirates around the world will likely set sail in search of the One Piece, driven by the desire to control the world’s fate, as Vegapunk’s message suggested. Amid this widespread panic,One PieceChapter #1224 could delve deeper into the responses of the Five Elders and Imu.
Safe to say,Imu and the Five Elders are afraidof anything that is related to Joyboy and this might prompt them to use any means necessary to discard the threat. Hopefully, the chapter will end with the Straw Hats setting foot on Elbaf, but anything is possible inOne Piece.
