As anticipated, chapter 1114 of One Piece continued to center around Dr. Vegapunk’s message, providing more evidence that Joy Boy and Sun God Nika are two distinct individuals.

The story content of One Piece chapter 1114 opens with a focus on the Marineford base, where various Marines (including rear admiral Hina) can be seen reacting to the words of Dr. Vegapunk. Fleet Admiral Akainu is also present, but remains silent and wears a skeptical yet inquisitive expression.

The attention then turns to Mock Town on Jaya, where a group of pirates can be heard laughing at Dr. Vegapunk’s remarks in a scene reminiscent of when Luffy faced ridicule in the Jaya arc. The focus then moves to Water 7, where Paulie expresses disbelief while gazing out at the city. Once more, the spotlight shifts to Impel Down, where Donquixote Doflamingo and Magellan are sharing jokes while listening to Dr. Vegapunk’s words.

After briefly delving into the events on Fishman Island, where Shirahoshi, King Neptune, and other characters were discussing Dr. Vegapunk’s statement, the focus returned to Egghead Island. On this island, several Marines were heard shouting about the message, prompting the Gorosei to make the decision to eliminate all life on the island. Meanwhile, Vegapunk York searched for the Transmission Transponder Snail alone.

While this is occurring, Dr. Vegapunk predicts the consequences of the recent earthquake and resulting floods. The reactions of Charlotte Smoothie and Mont-d’Or in what is assumed to be Totto Land are then witnessed as Dr. Vegapunk’s prediction is revealed. Subsequently, an island that was affected by the earthquake is shown, where the inhabitants are seen using boats and climbing to the rooftops of their homes to seek shelter.

The latest chapter of One Piece, 1114, features the appearance of Tonjit from Long Ring Long Land and a bandaged Kuzan listening in from Hachinosu Island. When Dr. Vegapunk reveals that the earthquake and flood were not natural, an angry Saint Jaygarcia Saturn pushes Nami’s group aside and forbids Vegapunk from speaking further. However, Robin uses her Devil Fruit abilities to save her companions as Saturn rushes towards the power plant.

At this point, Saturn changes into his human form and proceeds to destroy all the Transponder Snails in the room. The room also displays the Mother Flame weapon, which is a small flame burning inside a large tank of water. As this is revealed, Dr. Vegapunk continues his explanation, admitting that his initial mistake was getting too close to the sun in pursuit of his dream to bring unlimited energy and a better future to the world.

In One Piece chapter 1114, the focus shifts to the Mother Flame itself, which appears to be growing more active for unknown reasons. We then see the Iron Giant confidently walking through the barrage of firepower from the Marines in the seas around Egghead. Meanwhile, a newly transformed Gear 5 Luffy, along with Dorry and Brogy, are on the run from Saint Topman Warcury. Dr. Vegapunk emphasizes the importance of understanding the past in order to determine the future course of the world.

The speaker clarifies that he is referring to the Void Century, noting that although it is often referred to as such, there are fragments of knowledge from that time. The scene then turns to Mariejois, where Imu’s figure is observed calmly listening to the transmission. The majority of the Celestial Dragons are seen to be fuming with anger, while some appear intrigued by Dr. Vegapunk’s mention.

In One Piece chapter 1114, Dr. Vegapunk reveals that the Poneglyphs contain decodable text, which he refers to as the “scraps”. Meanwhile, Jaguar D. Saul, a beloved character, is shown lying in a forest (possibly on Elbaf) and laughing as he listens to Dr. Vegapunk’s explanation. The scene then shifts to Orange Town, where Boodle, Chouchou, and Boodle’s granddaughter are gathered and listening to the message as well.

Marguerite and the other Kuja Tribe warriors are present on Amazon Lily, displaying a surprised reaction as they listen to the words being spoken. Dr. Vegapunk proceeds to reveal that despite the World Government’s prohibition, he continued his research on the Poneglyphs, making it his second grave transgression. He clarifies that his motivation stemmed from his inheritance of Professor Clover and the other Oharan scholars’ studies, pointing to Nico Robin as he makes this statement.

In One Piece chapter 1114, the Labo-Phase’s cloud begins to spread over the sea, prompting Usopp to realize that Vegapunk Edison is helping them escape. Despite being heavily damaged, Edison is seen in the control room urging the Straw Hats to make their escape and avoid getting caught. The focus then turns to Luffy, Dorry, and Brogy, who try to convince Luffy to stop attacking Warcury as it is futile, but he continues to do so, causing harm to himself.

As the events unfold, Dr. Vegapunk clarifies that history is essentially a narrative, and he refrains from making assumptions about the Void Century beyond his knowledge. He refers to the central figure of this era as Joy Boy, a legendary figure who possessed a malleable and resilient body, similar to the Sun God Nika from tales of the advanced kingdom of Elbaf. The chapter concludes with Dorry and Brogy bursting into laughter at Luffy’s expression, as Dr. Vegapunk declares Joy Boy to be the very first pirate in recorded history.

One Piece chapter 1114: In summation

In summary, One Piece chapter 1114 presents an exhilarating and enlightening installment for the series, filled with significant implications for the lore and world-building. The stakes are raised even higher for the conclusion of the Egghead arc, as the Gorosei appear willing to destroy everything on Egghead in order to safeguard the world’s secrets.

Despite the series already having announced a break week after this latest release, fans will have to wait quite a while for any new developments. However, given the consistently thrilling and captivating nature of the recent issues, it is safe to say that whatever comes next will be well worth the wait.
