What to expect
One Piece chapter 1080 may open with a focus on Egghead Island. With Shanks versus Kid now wrapped up, the only remaining story not focused on Egghead Island is that of Law versus Blackbeard. However, mangaka Eiichiro Oda is likely keeping the outcome of this fight a secret for the purpose of future developments and reveals.
This means the upcoming chapter may focus on Egghead Island, with briefly departing to give an update on Admiral Kizaru’s distance from the island. As to what specific event the chapter will focus on in Egghead, there’s no way of telling given how the previous issue ended.
One possible focus of One Piece chapter 1080 could be a continued spotlighting of Vegapunk York. Readers still haven’t got a full explanation of her betrayal, so some additional information may likely be shown. This could then segue into the arrival of Tony Tony Chopper, Nico Robin, Vegapunk Atlas, and ghost-form Brook, thus beginning the process of rescuing Dr. Vegapunk.
Chapter 1079 recap
One Piece chapter 1079 began with a flashback that saw Vegapunk York telling the Seraphim to kill everyone on the island but herself, Dr. Vegapunk, and the trapped Cipher Pol agents. She then gave S-Snake an additional order, but readers aren’t given the full details of this in the chapter. Sentomaru is then seen helping with the evacuation of Egghead Island.
The chapter then shifts perspectives to Elbaf, but not before showing one of the Blackbeard Pirates’ ships sailing towards the nearby Egghead Island. The chapter then jumped right into Elbaf, where Kid was in disbelief at the weak captains of Shanks’ fleet opposing him. Shanks is then seen talking to various members of his crew, asking about Blackbeard’s location in the process.
At this point, Shanks, via his Future Sight, sees Kid using his Awakening to annihilate several members of his fleet. To prevent this, Shanks leaps to the latter's ship using the Kamusari to one-shot both Kid and Killer. After getting the Road Poneglyph rubbings from Kid’s crew, Dory and Broggy use a Hakoku Sovereignty to sink the Kid Pirates and their ship, as the narrator claims that the crew was “destroyed” on this day.
