What to expect from One Piece chapter 1062?

The Straw Hat crew separated once again as they arrived at Egghead Island. Luffy, Jinbe, Chopper, and Bonney will have to find a way to reunite with their friends before the dangers of this unknown land cause them harm. However, the rest of the crew is not having a good time, as they were attacked by a gigantic shark robot only to be saved by their enemy, Vegapunk.

One Piece chapter 1062 will most likely continue with these two converging plotlines as our characters look for a way to rejoin. Nonetheless, the chapter may also focus on the many mysteries caused by Vegapunk's appearance. Not only does the doctor look completely different from what fans expected, but he also decided to help the Straw Hats for a reason.

The chapter could give more information as to why Bonney was looking for Vegapunk alone. The woman revealed in the last chapter that she was heading to Egghead for some business, meaning she wanted something from the doctor. This mysterious reason could be developed further in One Piece chapter 1062.

Lastly, One Piece chapter 1062 may tell the story of the SWORD agents who want to rescue Koby from Blackbeard. We saw in the last chapter how worried Helmeppo and Hibari were, and it is unlikely that they will stop trying to help their friend. More information about why Aokiji joined Marshall’s crew could be revealed, as fans believe he is an undercover agent of SWORD.

What happened in the last chapter?

One Piece chapter 1061 started with Luffy trying to save Chopper and Bonney from being taken by the storm. Sadly, due to his status as a Devil Fruit user, the boy also got dragged by the current, having to be saved by Jinbe. Elsewhere, inside SWORD’s headquarters, Helmeppo and Hibari were begging Prince Grus to grant them permission to use the Seraphim Pacifistas and go save Koby.

Back in Egghead, Luffy was engaged in a conversation with Bonney, who brought up the topic of his Gear 5 form. The rest of the Straw Hat crew was attacked by a huge robotic shark. Thankfully, they were saved by a warrior wearing a metallic suit. The chapter ended with the warrior revealing himself as doctor Vegapunk.
