One Piece episode 1101, titled “The Strongest Form of Humanity! The Seraphim’s Abilities!”, aired on Sunday, April 21, 2024. This episode provides viewers with a combination of world-building information about One Piece, particularly the artificial replication of Devil Fruits, and stunningly animated fight scenes between Luffy and Lucci.
In the previous episode, viewers witnessed the start of the altercation between Luffy and Lucci, which initially appeared to be a friendly spar rather than a serious clash. However, the atmosphere shifted dramatically towards the end when Lucci ambushed Sentomaru in an attempt to seize control of the Seraphim while he was speaking with Luffy.
Please be advised that this article contains spoilers for the One Piece anime.
Luffy’s Confrontation with Lucci and his Journey to the Labophase in One Piece Episode 1101
Sentomaru is alive
One Piece episode 1101 begins with the sound of blaring sirens as Sentomaru is seen lying still in a pool of his own blood. Luffy quickly comes to his aid and expresses regret for causing his distraction.
Despite Sentomaru’s attempts to defend himself, Lucci is annoyed to find that he had already spotted Lucci and was unable to prevent him from moving. This is due to Lucci’s higher rank, which prevents the CP0 from controlling the Seraphim and keeping Sentomaru from staying awake.
As Lucci attempts to strike Sentomaru once more, Luffy intervenes with a Gum-Gum Dawn Whip. He starts by swiftly kicking Lucci in the face, then harnesses the force of his twisting body to deliver a second, forceful kick that propels Lucci through the air.
Despite his efforts to halt his spinning after the attack, Luffy unintentionally drills a hole in the ground and disappears into it.
Vegapunk’s Understanding of Devil Fruits
In the 1101st episode of One Piece, the Seraphim, S-Shark, S-Snake, and S-Hawk are depicted defeating Cipher Pol agents in succession. Franky is impressed by S-Shark’s land-swimming ability and recognizes it as the same ability possessed by Senor Pink’s Swim-Swim Fruit. It is later revealed by Vegapunk that the Devil Fruit was artificially duplicated while Senor Pink was imprisoned in Impel Down.
According to Vegapunk, the ability to replicate fruits is limited to only Zoan-type fruits. He further claims that with enough resources and time, it is feasible to replicate all types of special Fruits, although he is unsure about their Awakening abilities. However, he confesses that his endeavors to replicate Logia types have been unsuccessful.
Nevertheless, when it came to Paramythia individuals, he made a breakthrough by using the user’s Bloodline Elements to produce a special blood infusion capable of bestowing abilities upon someone else. This exceptional Green Blood is currently coursing through the arms of the Seraphim.
After proclaiming the Seraphim as the ultimate form of humanity, Vegapunk’s statement leads Nami to understand the reason behind the disbandment of the Seven Warlords System. This revelation prompts the other Straw Hat members to criticize Vegapunk for developing such powerful weapons for the Navy.
Luffy vs Lucci: The Final Showdown
One Piece episode 1101 continues in Fabriophase, with Lucci still determined to take down Sentomaru. Just as Sentomaru prepares for Lucci’s strike, Luffy’s massive head emerges from the ground. Despite Luffy’s attempt to devour him, Lucci narrowly evades his jaws. In a retaliatory move, Luffy devours a heap of rubble and launches it at Lucci, who narrowly avoids being hit.
While using the distraction to his advantage, Luffy reaches behind Lucci and devises a new plan instead of attacking. He transforms a nearby pipe into rubber and bounces back, propelling himself towards Lucci with even greater force. Just before reaching him, Luffy conjures a pair of goggles from his hair.
After performing a new move, the Gum-Gum Dawn Rocket, Luffy lands a powerful punch that causes Lucci’s body to contort. The intensity of the attack causes Lucci to lose consciousness.
Luffy and His Crew Arrive at Labophase
In episode 1101 of One Piece, Chopper and Jimbei are shown transporting the unconscious Atlas and Bonney to Vegapunk’s laboratory. S-Snake accompanies them to the Vacuum Rocket, which, upon their entrance, announces that it will be departing in one minute.
In the meantime, Sentomaru puts Luffy in charge of protecting Vegapunk. With the help of the nearby structures and pipes, Luffy builds up enough speed to reach the rocket right before it takes off. The rocket propels them through a tube and in just thirty seconds, they arrive at Labophase. The sudden speed jolts Bonney awake, and she is taken aback to see that Luffy has transformed into an elderly man. Upon their arrival, they find the frontier dome heavily guarded and all other rockets have been called off.
In Fabriophase, Lucci regains consciousness and is reunited with Kaku and Stussy, while Sentomaru passes out from his injuries.
One Piece Episode 1100 Recap
In the previous episode, Akainu was surprised to discover that Luffy had arrived on Egghead Island and was assisting Vegapunk. He was also frustrated by the CP0’s independent actions, as they could potentially trigger a war. Additionally, it was disclosed that Kizaru was en route to the island for a mission, although the specifics were not mentioned.
While on Egghead Island, viewers witnessed the battle between Luffy and Lucci in their Awakened Devil Fruit states. At the same time, Jimbei, Chopper, and the rest of the Straw Hats were at Vegapunk’s lab, where they were able to witness Luffy unveiling his Gear 5 form for the first time.
After being informed of Luffy’s appearance, Vegapunk turned to Nami for clarification. She could only confirm that it was due to the Gum-Gum Fruit’s abilities. Nevertheless, Vegapunk refuted the existence of such a Devil Fruit and noted that Luffy’s appearance bore a resemblance to the Sun God Nika.
At the Fabriophase, Sentomaru discovered that the CP0 had set their sights on Vegapunk. In response, he commanded the Seraphim to attack the Navy. Luffy caught up with Sentomaru and vowed to assist in Vegapunk’s escape from Egghead Island. However, to his surprise, he witnessed Lucci sneakily stab Sentomaru in the back with a Hand Pistol.
