Chapter 1075 recap

One Piece Chapter 1075 began with Vegapunk Shaka trying to get in touch with Vegapunk Pythagoras following the apparent attack on the latter. Shaka then saw a shadowy figure seemingly attacking the surveillance camera Den Den Mushi, causing the entire system to eventually go down.

The issue then showed the various Straw Hat and Vegapunk groups looking for Dr. Vegapunk, the main Stella body among them. Vegapunk York, Vegapunk Lilith, Usopp, and Franky came across Pythagoras’ body, which revealed him to be alive. However, they were attacked by the S-Snake Seraphim in the process, with York being turned to stone.

Chapter 1075 then cut back to the control room, where fans saw Lucci, Kaku, Zoro, Luffy, and Vegapunk Shaka come under attack by the S-Bear and S-Hawk Seraphim models. The issue’s final panels saw Lucci and Kaku ask to be freed from their cuffs so they can fight alongside Zoro and Luffy, with the latter pair making a face of disgust and disbelief in response.


What to expect (speculative)

One Piece Chapter 1076 will most likely open with Luffy and Zoro’s actual response to Lucci and Kaku, which will most likely be a yes. The main reason for this being a yes is that the Seraphim are after Lucci and Kaku specifically, and since Luffy and Zoro need to protect Shaka, it makes sense to allow the former pair to protect themselves.

One Piece Chapter 1076 will also likely revisit the group of Franky, Usopp, Vegapunk Pythagoras, and Vegapunk Lilith. Being pursued by S-Snake puts them in grave danger, which will likely be showcased in the upcoming issues. Fans may also see them try and rescue Vegapunk York’s body at some point.

Finally, the issue is likely to show Kizaru and Saint Jaygarcia Saturn either arriving at or having already arrived at Egghead Island. In either case, this would turn the Straw Hats’ situations from bad to worse, adding countless reinforcements to the enemies they need to fight to escape.
