One Piece episode 1128 recap
One Piece episode 1128 began with the Mark III Pacifistas targeting the Marines per Vegapunk Atlas’ order. Sanji then found Bonney via his “lady radar,” or his Observation Haki, and went ahead to save her. Focus then shifted to Bonney, who had been found by some Vice Admirals and Marines, but was saved by Sanji and the others. They all then headed to the Labophase as focus shifted to the Straw Hats and Vegapunk Edison heading out, with Stussy staying behind.
Focus then shifted briefly to Saturn who silently stood up before finally settling on Zoro’s fight against Rob Lucci and Luffy’s fight against Admiral Kizaru. As each fight was shown to be in a stalemate, Saturn activated his powers, which all four and others sensed with Observation Haki. As the water around Saturn’s ship was stilled, dark storm clouds gathered around Egghead. Saturn then ordered the Pacifistas to stand down since he could override the Vegapunks’ orders.
A pentagram then appeared on Egghead which shot out lightning and destroyed the area. Vice Admiral Doberman confirmed this was Saturn arriving on Egghead Island. However, he was in what looked like a hybrid Zoan-type form instead of his human form. Kizaru then attacked those in the Vegatank, but missed and sent them crashing down instead. The issue ended with Luffy exiting Gear 5 and Bonney rushing at and stabbing Saturn while crying and thinking of Kuma.
One Piece episode 1129 what to expect (speculative)
Following the appearance of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn on Egghead Island and the debut of his powers, One Piece episode 1129 is expected to see him control the current chaos. He’ll likely do so by first cornering the Straw Hats and Vegapunks on the Stratophase, then turning his attention to Bonney, who just attacked him.
Episode 1129 should also see Saturn’s discussion with Bonney reveal the full context of their relationship, and why she became so enraged upon seeing him. The episode should end with Luffy and the Straw Hats starting to mount a comeback after discovering something about Saturn’s powers.
