One Piece episode 1088 began with a focus on Amazon Lily, as Silvers Rayleigh, Shakky, Boa Hancock, and the Kuja Pirates reflected on the Marines’ and Blackbeard’s invasions.

A flashback then started, showing Hancock trying to broker a peace deal with Blackbeard, who refused. Thankfully, Rayleigh appeared, forcing all present into submission and overseeing the deal, which saw the Blackbeard Pirates and the Marines leave. However, this resulted in Koby being kidnapped by Blackbeard.

Returning to the present, the Kuja Pirates expressed fear over the Seraphim, adding that one of them bore a striking resemblance to a childhood Hancock.

The focus then switched to the Kamabakka Kingdom, where Revolutionary Army members were worried about Sabo’s safety. However, they received a Transponder Snail call from him, confirming he was alive, as the perspective shifted to the Straw Hats.

Luffy and his crew were seen mourning Cobra Nefertari’s death, which Sabo was allegedly responsible for, and discussed possibly rescuing Vivi. However, Zoro shot this idea down for the time being.

Luffy then reflected on his origins, also revealing to the others that he has an ambition even larger than becoming the Pirate King. The episode ended with the others’ reactions to Luffy’s dream, which was not revealed to viewers.


What to expect (speculative)

While Luffy’s dream is an intriguing cliffhanger to end on, One Piece episode 1089 will likely not elaborate on it at all. Instead, it is expected to continue to bounce around in perspective, setting up everything that needs to be established for the Egghead arc’s events.

Likewise, One Piece episode 1089 will likely end with the Straw Hat crew arriving at the arc’s titular island and beginning whatever adventure they’re set to have. While it’s unclear what’s next for the anime series, fans are expecting the Egghead arc to be an enthralling and engaging one.
