2. Recap of Episode 1128 of One Piece
The episode starts with Bonney still resisting the Marines, but she’s caught off guard when a Vice-Admiral uses her Devil Fruit power to control a Pacifista that looks like her father, Kuma. Paralyzed by emotion, she hesitates to fight, but Sanji swoops in at the last second to save her. With Bonney safe, Vegapunk’s group prepares to escape the island.
Meanwhile, the action escalates as Luffy continues his Gear 5 showdown with Kizaru and Zoro keeps Lucci at bay. Just as the momentum seems to shift, a strange circle appears on the ground, glowing with dark energy. Suddenly, Saint Saturn materializes from it in a horrifying form, part ox, part spider, with black steam and lightning swirling around him. His presence immediately changes the tone.
Marines are warned not to look at him and one soldier who disobeys this is instantly killed by Saturn’s glare. The sheer weight of his arrival is enough to make even Luffy, Zoro, Lucci and Jinbe pause mid-fight.
Kizaru makes a final push to stop Vegapunk’s escape but Luffy intercepts him with the last of his strength, unleashing a devastating Gum-Gum Star Gun that sends Kizaru flying. Completely drained, Luffy collapses as his Gear 5 form ends, and at the worst possible moment, Vegapunk’s vehicle crashes right in front of Saturn.
A tense moment follows between the two, but then the focus shifts to Bonney. She recognizes Saturn from Kuma’s memories and, overwhelmed by rage, grabs a sword and stabs him in the chest. The episode ends right there on that jaw-dropping moment.
3. Speculation of Episode 1129 of One Piece
Saturn’s arrival in his monstrous form suggests the Egghead incident is about to escalate far beyond a standard Marine operation, possibly triggering the long-foreshadowed “incident” that will shake the world. Bonney stabbing Saturn may not be enough to stop him, but it sets the stage for revealing the truth about Kuma’s past and the extent of the Elders’ involvement in the Pacifista program.
With Luffy down and Vegapunk exposed, the Straw Hats may be forced into a desperate retreat, especially if Saturn takes control of the battlefield. The teleportation ritual used for his arrival also hints that the other Gorosei could appear through similar means, raising the possibility of multiple Elders taking action soon. Meanwhile, Kizaru’s defeat may further strain Marine authority, signaling that the balance of power is shifting dramatically as the Final Saga unfolds.

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.
