2. Recap of Episode 1127 of One Piece

The episode wasted no time picking up right where we left off. Luffy, using Gear 5, sent Kizaru flying off Egghead, buying everyone a little breathing room but definitely not ending the fight. While Kizaru was regrouping, Atlas decided it was now or never to take back control of the Pacifistas. She charged off to the Fabriophase with Vegapunk, with Sanji and Franky backing her up.

Meanwhile, Bonney, who barely survived Kizaru’s earlier attack thanks to Sentomaru stepping in, started setting up for her own big moment. Kizaru didn’t stay gone for long though. He came back with a crazy move, creating a whole army of light clones, forcing Luffy into a fast, chaotic battle. It looked bad at first, but Luffy used the clones’ formation against them, landing a huge counterattack. The real Kizaru had already slipped past him though and made a move on Vegapunk’s lab, putting Usopp in serious danger.

Kizaru almost succeeded, but the crew showed up just in time in a giant tank, scooping up Vegapunk’s group. As they tried to get away, Kizaru fired a deadly laser at them, and in true Luffy fashion, he jumped in front of it to protect everyone. Their fight kicked back up with even higher stakes after that.

It wasn’t just about Luffy though. Bonney finally had her moment to shine, absolutely wrecking a bunch of Marines using her Devil Fruit powers in a way that looked even cooler than it did in the manga. Zoro and Lucci’s fight also got more attention than expected, with some new anime-only scenes that made their clash feel more important. The episode wrapped up on a heavy note too, with Saint Jaygarcia Saturn about to step into the battlefield. And you can just tell things are about to get a whole lot worse.

3. Speculation of Episode 1128 of One Piece

Now that Saturn is about to make his move, it feels like everything is about to shift again. We still don’t know exactly what he’s capable of, but considering how One Piece has built up the Gorosei, it’s probably not going to be good for the Straw Hats. Up until now, it’s been Luffy versus Kizaru, but pretty soon, it’s going to be the Straw Hats versus the full weight of the World Government.

Episode 1128 might also bring Luffy and Kizaru’s fight to a real breaking point. Either Luffy is going to finally overwhelm Kizaru, or Saturn will jump in and shake things up before it can end. At the same time, now that the Pacifistas are fighting against the Marines, the battlefield is getting more and more chaotic. Bonney, Zoro, Sanji and the others could easily end up in even bigger spotlight moments depending on how the battle spreads out.

If 1127 was about big, flashy action and huge moments, 1128 might be where the real consequences start hitting. And with Egghead falling apart all around them, you can feel that One Piece is setting the stage for something huge that could definitely impact the rest of the Final Saga.

4. About One Piece

One Piece is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It has been serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine since July 22, 1997.

The man who had acquired everything in this world, the Pirate King, is Gol D. Roger. The final words he said at the execution tower were “My treasures? If you want it, I’ll let you have it. Look for it; I left all of it at that place.” These words sent many to the seas, chasing their dreams, headed toward the Grand Line, in search of One Piece. Thus began a new age!

Seeking to be the greatest pirate in the world, young Monkey D. Luffy also heads toward the Grand Line in search of One Piece. His diverse crew is joining him along the way, consisting of a swordsman, marksman, navigator, cook, doctor, archaeologist, and cyborg-shipwright, this will be one memorable adventure.
