The Straw Hats set sail for new adventures in One Piece. This time, they will anchor at Egg Head, a futuristic island full of wonders. However, many new challenges await them on this strange island.
The anime has been entering its Final Saga for a while, and it has officially kicked off the Egghead arc. To ensure the transition after the immense Wano arc, he offered new designs for the characters, but also an exciting opening and ending. The animated series will even add additional segments at the end of its episodes. Which begins with Robin and Chopper.
And of course, new characters will join the cast over time. And among them, there will be terrible adversaries, who will offer us legendary fights. The arc is still in progress in the manga, but we can already draw up a list of the ten most spectacular fights to expect in the anime.
Warning: This article contains spoilers from the manga and the Egg head arc!
10 – Kuma contre Sakazuki
Starts in chapter 1092
Sabo and his fellow revolutionaries save Kuma from the slavery of a Celestial Dragon. But even after that, Kuma runs away to Mary Joy and starts attacking everyone there. Chief Admiral Sakazuki intervenes, but Kuma seems unstoppable. Although the fight is brief, it is an opportunity to show how protective the Pacifista is of his daughter, Bonney.
Even after losing both consciousness and memory, he continues to instinctively try to regain it. Sakazuki is a force not to be underestimated, yet Kuma slips through his fingers to get to Egg head.
9 – Kizaru contre Sentomaru
Starts in chapter 1090
Sentomaru is one of the few Marines with a flexible sense of justice. Although he follows orders like his peers, he can act independently based on his personal feelings. He is sent to Egghead to kill Vegapunk under the orders of the Goroses. However, Sentomaru shares a past with Vegapunk and Kizaru.
Vegapunk rescued young Sentomaru, exiled from his village, and gave him a job as a bodyguard. As close to Vegapunk, Kizaru has observed Sentomaru since childhood. Thus, Sentomaru does everything to protect Vegapunk, even if it means challenging Kizaru, whom he calls his uncle. Although Kizaru feels nostalgic, he shows no remorse as he confronts her.
8 – The Heart Pirates versus the Blackbeard Pirates
Starts in chapter 1063
Blackbeard has been targeting powerful devil fruit users for over two years now. This time, he takes a close look at one of the community’s favorite characters, Trafalgar Law. The Heart Pirates are led by a captain with a bounty of 3 billion berries. Yet they will be no match for the overwhelming might of one of One Piece’s worst antagonists.
Trafalgar Law is still held captive by Blackbeard while Bepo escapes to seek help. The status of the other crew members also remains unknown to this day. However, with Blackbeard having yet to kill Trafalgar Law, it can be assumed that he has other plans for the genius doctor.
7 – Kid’s Pirates vs. Shanks’ Crew
Starts in chapter 1076
Kid’s pirates suffered a crushing defeat against Shanks’s before the Wano arc. They didn’t even get to see Shanks before retreating, even though their captain, Eustass Kid, had his arm cut off by Benn Beckman. But these thugs having not learned their lesson, they once again challenge Shanks and his crew.
The Egg head arc of One Piece in the anime will feature Shanks using his first offensive attack, “Divine Demise”, the same as that of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger. The series will reveal that his monstrous power and Haki should not be underestimated. After barely surviving the fight, Kid’s crew will be forced to split up, having returned copies of three Poneglyphs into their possession.
6 – Garp vs. Blackbeard’s Crew
Starts in chapter 1080
Since Koby’s kidnapping, his fellow Marines have been extremely worried. However, infiltrating the headquarters of the Blackbeard Pirates is no easy feat. Because the leader is feared not only by the pirates of the New World, but also by the powers of the Navy. Far from being moved, Garp takes command of the Koby rescue mission.
Confronted with Kuzan and the other Giant captains, the navy veteran finds himself cornered. Koby and the other SWORD members narrowly escape the island after Garp suffers a fatal blow. Unfortunately, his fate remains unknown to this day.
5 – Sabo against the Five Elders
Starts in chapter 1085 (Flashback)
After disappearing for several months, Sabo returns to One Piece and recalls the events of Reverie in front of Dragon and Ivankov.
He listens to the conversation between Nefertari Cobra, the Five Elders (or Gorosei), and Imu. But the only reason Imu showed Cobra their presence was because they had already planned to kill her.
Sabo, who discovered the world’s greatest secret, instantly jumped inside Pangea Castle when Imu attacked him. He even sent a powerful Fire Fist towards Imu. It is then that the Gorosei adopt mysterious forms and attack Sabo. Although he took Cobra far away, the damage was already done.
4 – Zoro vs. Rob Lucci
Starts in chapter 1093
The situation in Egg Head has continued to worsen since the arrival of the Mugiwara. Even though the CP0 suffered a crushing defeat, the crew was manipulated and then attacked during the siege of the island. Zoro then fights Lucci, who uses an awakened Zoan form.
As the Mugiwara captain faces the most powerful enemy on Egg head, Luffy’s right-hand man ensures that no enemy gets in his way. However, the battle ends before its conclusion, with the unexpected arrival of Saint Jaygarcia Saturn on Egghead.
3 – Luffy vs. Rob Lucci
Starts in chapter 1069
Luffy and Lucci face each other two years after their first sporting encounter. Unlike the Enies Lobby arc, Luffy now possesses the legendary power of the Sun God Nika. However, Luffy isn’t the only one to have awakened his Devil Fruit: Rob Lucci has also improved considerably over the past few years, and can now use his full Zoan form.
But Luffy’s Gear 5 surpassed even the mighty Kaido. So it’s easy to imagine how the fight ends. Even though the manga focused a lot on the confrontation, Luffy easily won against Rob Lucci, shocking his opponent with his overwhelming power.
2 – Luffy vs. Kizaru
Starts in chapter 1091
The fight between Luffy and Kizaru finally provides an answer to the almost two-century-old debate on who is stronger, between Yonko and Admiral. Unlike his humiliating defeat at Sabaody Archipelago, Luffy stands proudly against one of the powers of the Navy. Now being a Yonko, he can’t let a Marine get the best of him. The fight is brief but thrilling.
Especially considering that this return match after two years is on a whole new level. Although victory against Kizaru is not as easy as with Lucci, Luffy still manages to do so without losing too much feathers. On the other hand, it is washed away with the use of the Gear 5.
1 – Saturn vs. everyone
Starts in chapter 1094
Seeing that the Straw Hats and company show no willingness to stand down, Saturn suddenly arrives at Egghead. It uses a shape reminiscent of an Ushi-oni, a youkai, from the folklore of western Japan. Saturn’s full powers are not fully revealed in the series. But we at least know that simply meeting his gaze can cause his victim’s head to explode.
The Mugiwara are already exhausted from the previous battle: the arrival of Saturn only makes the situation worse. In the manga, the fight is still in progress, but it should not take long for a twist to occur. Because Kuma finally arrives at Egghead to save his daughter Bonney from the clutches of the terrifying antagonist.
One Piece chapter 1104 could thus show the Pacifista turning against his master, and relaunching hostilities by giving hope to the pirates facing Saturn.
