In chapter 1118 of One Piece, fans were given a small hint about the final part of Dr. Vegapunk’s message when the Transmission Transponder Snail briefly resumed its broadcast.

The latest installment of One Piece, chapter 1118, features the continuation of Yamato’s journey around Wano in its cover story. The cover depicts Yamato departing the Flower Capital while being bid farewell by numerous onlookers as he enjoys a bento box. Moving on to the main story, the chapter delves into the aftermath of Gorosei member Saint Topman Warcury’s attack, which causes the Iron Giant to sink into the sea.

The Iron Giant destroys several Marine ships upon impact with the water. Meanwhile, the Transmission Transponder Snail captures a snippet of Dr. Vegapunk’s message, which ends abruptly with the words “and their name was.”The Iron Giant is left pondering the whereabouts of Joy Boy, as he had hoped to cross paths with him after sensing his presence. However, he eventually realizes that his assumption was incorrect.

In chapter 1118 of One Piece, the aftermath of Dr. Vegapunk’s broadcast ending is shown as people from all over the world react. The focus initially shifts to Alabasta, where Khoza can be seen standing in the midst of a heated discussion among civilians. They debate over who is responsible for Dr. Vegapunk’s death – Luffy or the World Government. Meanwhile, in Dressrosa, Leo and Rebecca are also engaged in a similar argument.

The Gorosei on Egghead Island turn their attention back to Vegapunk York, inquiring about the remaining Satellites. After consulting Punk Records, Vegapunk York reports that only Vegapunk Atlas and Vegapunk Lilith are still active. She also reveals their current locations, leading the Gorosei to realize that Punk Records will persist and thrive even after the passing of Stella, aka Dr. Vegapunk.

One Piece chapter 1118 shows that the characters consider this to be advantageous in York, but a potential problem if Atlas and Lilith manage to survive. In the meantime, on the northeast coast, Luffy, Dorry, and Brogy successfully board the Giant Warrior Pirates’ ship after leaping off the island. Luffy takes a moment to appreciate the enormity of the ship before the attention turns to the Marines. It is revealed that Jewelry Bonney’s Devil Fruit powers have transformed Vice Admirals Doll and Bluegrass into children.

Bonney continues to tease them about it while Luffy warmly greets Oimo and Kashii. Sanji informs Nami that they are ready to set sail, but will require assistance from the other group to safely land. Sanji assures Nami that they will take care of it. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Saint Marcus Mars of the Gorosei is on the pursuit of Luffy’s group. In the ship’s kitchen, Luffy can be seen happily devouring a huge meal.

One Piece chapter 1118: Two Nikas are better than one

In One Piece chapter 1118, Mars unleashes a beam attack from his mouth that is mostly blocked by the shields of three Giants. However, the attack still manages to set part of the ship on fire, putting the sails at risk of burning. Bonney and her crew rush to assist in any way they can, while Dorry and Brogy express their frustration over Mars’ ability to fly and chase after them. Mars declares that he will not let them escape, but then the sound of the Drums of Liberation can be heard, causing both the ship and the seas to tremble.

Mars is taken aback by the news that Luffy’s stomach is now satisfied. As Luffy resurfaces and greets Bonney, who affectionately calls him Nika, he playfully responds that she is mistaken. Dorry and Brogy are spotted dancing to the beat of the Drums of Liberation, as Luffy urges Bonney to join him in battle.

In One Piece chapter 1118, Bonney admits that she struggles to keep up with Luffy in Gear 5. However, Luffy offers words of encouragement and reminds her that she is capable of doing it. This prompts her to recall Luffy’s statement about entering Gear 5 when he is “totally free,”which motivates her to use her powers and create a Distorted Future where she too can experience complete freedom.

As a result, she takes on a striking resemblance to Nika, perfectly mimicking Luffy’s Gear 5 appearance. She strikes a pose reminiscent of a superhero, just like Luffy did on the cover of volume 106, with Luffy himself laughing in the same way he did when Gear 5 was first revealed. Bartholomew Kuma observes this and appears to recall his promise to Ginny to raise Bonney properly.

In One Piece chapter 1118, the Giants acknowledge both individuals as Sun God Nika, while the Marines refer to them as “albino Giants.”This situation troubles Mars, who observes them quietly as Luffy and Bonney get ready for battle. Meanwhile, Warcury and fellow Gorosei member Saint Shepherd Ju Peter hear the Drums of Liberation and rush to respond. The chapter concludes with the Iron Giant sensing the presence of Joy Boy once more and appearing to awaken from its slumber beneath the sea.

Summary of One Piece Chapter 1118

In summary, the latest chapter of One Piece (1118) is an exceptionally thrilling addition to the series, showcasing the long-awaited growth of Bonney during the Egghead arc. Moreover, it sets the stage for an epic showdown between Bonney and Luffy, as she is now able to match his speed and utilize her Nika-ish Future form.

The problem also effectively builds suspense by hinting at the Iron Giant’s potential revival and the possibility of further developments in Dr. Vegapunk’s broadcast. While the latter may be less probable, it is highly probable that Luffy and the Iron Giant will intersect before the end of the arc, especially given the latest developments.
