One Piece: Preparing for Vegapunk’s Escape in Episode 1102
Kuma’s Journey
Kuma’s presence in One Piece episode 1102 starts with him flying above the sea, but it quickly turns into a crash landing at the Red Port situated at the base of the Red Line. The citizens are frightened by his arrival, as they recognize him as the Invincible Slave of the Celestial Dragon and are aware of his escape from the Land of the Gods.
Despite sustaining severe injuries, Kuma remains resolute in his determination to carry on with his journey. As the Navy soldiers cautiously approach him, unsure of his current programming, they also work to evacuate the citizens.
Vegapunk is the target
In the laboratory, Vegapunk discloses to Sanji’s team that he is being pursued by the World Government due to his exceptional intelligence. He has created countless innovations, such as Sea Prism Stones, Cyborg Animals, Pacifistas, Seraphim, and more, all of which have been highly beneficial to the government.
Therefore, the government would consider his death a major setback. Nevertheless, they would rather face this possibility than the potential danger of the world’s most powerful intelligence turning against them. He further asserts that the arrival of the Straw Hats was a stroke of luck as it provided him with the opportunity to flee alongside them.
Bonney’s Search for Vegapunk
In One Piece episode 1102, the story turns to Luffy and his group as they arrive at the Labophase. As Atlas receives medical treatment, a furious Bonney searches for Vegapunk, wielding a metal pipe.
The woman declares that Vegapunk’s decision to unleash bugs in response to her plea for her father’s humanity has left her with no alternative but to eliminate him. Chopper acknowledges that she is unjustly holding him accountable for her own wrongdoings.
The Plan of Action for the CP0
In One Piece episode 1102, viewers witness the Navy’s orders for the CP0 to wait until they reach the island, but Lucci is determined to complete the mission without delay. He believes that waiting for reinforcements would only allow Vegapunk to escape.
After dealing with Sentomaru, the CP0’s Authority Chips are once again operational, indicating that they have regained control of the Seraphim. However, their efforts to eliminate Vegapunk and his satellites are hindered by Labophase’s formidable defense system.
Vegapunk Satellites discuss their strategy
At the laboratory, Vegapunk’s satellites detect the CP0’s attempt to cut off all possible escape routes from Egghead. While Shaka laments their inability to sneak out, Lilith is determined to retaliate. Despite Pythagorus’ reassurances of safety within the lab, Vegapunk recognizes that their ultimate objective is to escape but also acknowledges that a confrontation is unavoidable.
Despite Pythagorus’s proposal to seek assistance from their only remaining ally on Egghead, Edison quickly dismisses the idea, stating that the ally would be in danger if they were to reveal themselves. Despite this, Vegapunk shamelessly begs their secret ally for help, and the ally agrees.
With trust in the enigmatic ally’s capability to handle CP0, the satellites begin making arrangements for Vegapunk to board Straw Hat’s vessel and use Vegaforce-01 to transport it to the port.
The CP0 Reaches Labophase
Despite their suspicions that it may be a trap, Lucci, Kaku, and Stussy are seemingly lucky in One Piece episode 1102 as they find the Frontier Dome deactivated. They decide to proceed with caution and make their way to the Labophase where they come across the Thousand Sunny. Lucci is eagerly anticipating the opportunity to destroy it.
Despite learning about the Straw Hats’ alliance with Vegapunk and seeing his fleet advancing towards Egghead, Kizaru remains confident that they will not be able to escape as the episode comes to an end.
Recap of One Piece episode 1101
Despite being seriously injured in the previous episode, Sentomaru managed to remain conscious and maintain control over the Seraphim. This ultimately led to Lucci’s second attack being thwarted by Luffy, who used a new technique called the Gum-Gum Dawn Whip. Additionally, Luffy showcased another new Gear 5 attack, known as the Gum-Gum Dawn Rocket, which rendered Lucci unconscious. In the aftermath, Luffy, accompanied by Chopper, Jinbe, Atlas, and Bonney, boarded the Vacuum Rocket and made their way to Vegapunk’s laboratory.
Despite Sentomaru falling unconscious, Lucci regained consciousness. During this time, Vegapunk disclosed to Sanji’s group that he had the ability to artificially produce Devil Fruits. He specified that only Zoan-type fruits were replicable, but he was unsure about their Awakening abilities.
Upon admitting his inability to replicate Logia types, he discovered that by obtaining the user’s Bloodline Elements, he could produce a unique Green Blood that would allow for the transfer of powers to another individual, specifically for Paramythia types.
After declaring the Seraphim as the ultimate form of human evolution, Vegapunk’s reasoning behind dissolving the Seven Warlords System became clear to Nami. She and the other Straw Hat members were quick to criticize Vegapunk for creating such formidable weapons for the Navy.
