Chapter 1107: The Mightiest Army
Chapter starts with Dorry and Broggy asking for Luffy. Two new Marine HQ Vice Admirals are revealed and proceed to ask why warriors from the ‘Mightiest Army’ are here. Dorry says that they came to witness the ‘Dawn of a New World’. The two vice admirals prepare to attack. One has a long spear, which he can grow to great lengths, the other has the Shell Shell Fruit and can create an Iron like shell anywhere on his body. However, both Dorry and Broggy use Ikaku Sovereignty and blow past the Vice Admirals and their ships.
Dorry says that they won’t be able to use that move anymore. Broggy laughs and tell him it is more fun if they fight hand to hand anyway.
Scene Changes to the Fabiophase, where Saturn furiously orders Kizaru to get up. Kizaru gets up remarking how this situation has gone beyond anyone’s control.
Saturn’s demeanour has changed and he seems far more flustered. Doberman comes on the Den Den and says that the Giants have broken through their lines. Saturn is incensed and looks at Vegapunk who is bleeding out.
Bonney (child form) and Atlas are trying to get Vegapunk to stay alive. Vegapunk tells Atlas, who is sobbing that he has always known that he would die, but says that his knowledge shouldn’t die with him. He knew at the time of his death, he would need a contingency plan; noting that the awakening of the Brain Brain Fruit allows one to share their knowledge and consciousness with others.
He tells Atlas that all his critical information has always been stored in his original brain, even the knowledge of what DFs are. He then transfers into Atlas his remaining knowledge - whose head begins to largen slightly due to her ‘brain’ being a chip which is contrasted with Vegapunks head becoming normal size. Bonney thanks Vegapunk for all he has done, but before she can finish Vegapunk dies with a smile on his face.
Franky, Atlas and Bonney are crying, Sanji lights a cigarette and bows his head. Kizaru’s shades cover his eyes and he doesn’t appear moved however a single tear drop falls from his cheek.
Saturn uses the lull to attempt to attack Bonney, however, before the leg can land he is kicked in the face by Sanji using HM (his eyebrows have flipped). Sanji angrily chastises Saturn for being so heartless that he won’t allow even a moment to grieve.
Kizaru teleports in front of Sanji ready to slash him with his saber, but is suddenly grabbed by Luffy; dragging him to where he is. (Kizaru’s eyes comically pop out from his head, as he is winched away). Sanji tells Atlas, Franky and Bonney to take Vegapunk’s body away from here. Franky says that they can’t access the Labophase anymore due to the Vacuum Rocket being destroyed. He is interjected by Atlas who says that since transfer of Vegapunk’s knowledge, she might know another way through. Sanji tells them to go as Saturn begins to get up; regenerating his face.
However, Bonney tells Sanji that she isn’t going anywhere. Sanji tries to convince her that a battlefield is no place for a child. Bonney then transforms into an adult and looks at Saturn, with a determined look, stating that she owes it to Vegapunk”. Sanji sighs and accepts with a smirk, “So be it!”
Sanji tells Franky and Atlas to take both Vegapunk and Kuma away from the battlefield as they are in no condition to fight. Franky grabs Vegapunk’s body and Atlas grabs Kuma, as Saturn stands in front of Bonney and Sanji.
Last Scene Transitions to Jimbei arriving at the scene of Zoro and Lucci’s fight. He sees evidence of destruction (a large crater has formed), but can’t see anyone there. He uses Observation haki and feels the presence of two individuals, but they are feint. He runs to the edge of the crater and in it sees Lucci’s battered and unconscious body; he’s missing an arm, his right ear, and his left leg. Next to him he finds a bruised and battered Zoro, who is standing by using his sword to prop. A large pool of blood can be seen under both fighters. Jimbei is shocked and asks Zoro if he is okay, to which Zoro smiles and then collapses.
