Glances at Saturn: “So… which Spiderverse do you think he’s from? What was his canon event like, sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.”
This is a giant thread highlighting my predictions for characters and plotlines in the Egghead Arc. If you don’t like reading, leave, because boy there are toooooo many damn words in this fucking thread. Due to the length of the thread, I’ve omitted adding any images into it.

MADS Remnants (Judge and Caesar want to take down Vegapunk)
Vivi/Wapol/Morgans (Flying ship, we know Vivi wants to see the crew, and Wapol is now connected to the Gorosei. Morgans loves Big News)
Blackbeard Pirates (Blackbeard himself is close enough to show up if he wants to)
Enel (connection to energy, the Ancient Kingdom’s technology, robots, and Joy Boy)
Stussy/Marco (connections to cloning, Weevil)
1. Vegapunk’s Assassination
2. Kuma’s fate
3. Bonney and Kuma’s past
4. Saturn’s power
5. Escape plan
6. Pluton/Caribou
7. Ancient Robot
8. Sanji’s hatred towards human modification
9. Seraphim
10. Revs connection to Kuma
11. The Ancient Kingdom’s Energy Source
12. The Mother Flame
13. York
14. Securing Punk Records
15. Fate of CP0
16. Vegapunk’s connection to MADS
17. The OG Buckingham Stussy
18. Global earthquakes
19. Seastone/Sea Clouds and their production
So, what’s next?
To begin with, let’s get a few things straight.
1. This is an escape arc (defeating Kizaru/Saturn and everyone else is not a goal).
2. The Straw Hats are surrounded to the extent that current escape is impossible, and that victory in combat is impossible.
3. The Straw Hats and Vegapunks are no longer able to stop the Pacifistas. There is no way Saturn is dying during his introduction as a top tier, Oda does not write top tiers like that. If Saturn dies or is knocked out convincingly, then all Gorosei hype dies immediately.
4. The most reliable escape from the island is Kuma or S-Bear’s powers.
5. Vegapunk has some back up of Punk Records, or he wouldn’t be willing to leave the island, as that research is his life’s work.
To begin with, the problem is very simple: the Straw Hats are trapped like mice in a well surrounded by hungry cats.
Luffy is down (for a short time, Gear 5 has a smaller cooldown than Gear 4), Zoro is busy fighting Lucci, and now the Stella, Bonney, and Sanji and Franky are staring down Saturn.
So, the question is, how do they survive, and escape? The escape is simple: Kuma. Egghead is Sabaody all over again. The Straw Hats are feeling cocky, like they can’t be beat, and run into a buzzsaw because of a Celestial Dragon, leading to them fighting Kizaru. Kuma is supposed to be on the WG’s side, but is inexplicably working against them. Bonney stopped Zoro from killing Charlos, and she wants to kill Saturn. Sabaody was about freeing a girl (Camie) from slavery, Egghead is about Kuma becoming a slave.
The most obvious solution to escape is a Kuma teleport. Even if the original plan had worked, Kizaru and 100 ships were coming after the Straw Hats.
So, let’s go through each character, and see where they’ll end up.
Luffy:
-Was seen by Saturn
-Is the Gorosei’s ancient enemy
-Is currently down
I see Luffy getting up and fighting Saturn in a little while, after someone calls for his help (like how Luffy used a strong attack after Franky asked for his help). No way Luffy is down, but, he’s fought a lot in the last few days, so, he’ll need a breather.
Since Luffy is the Gorosei’s greatest enemy, Joy Boy, and Saturn is introducing himself as a top tier, Luffy will end up fighting Saturn, probably after Saturn kills Atlas or Stella
Zoro:
-Fighting on par with Lucci
-Is known to stall opponents before destroying them (see Apoo)
-Has unfinished business with Kizaru after Sabaody
-Is comparable to Rayleigh, who fought Kizaru in Sabaody
Zoro has already sensed Saturn’s presence, and will now sense Luffy losing his Haki/falling down and unconscious. Knowing the situation has gotten much worse, Zoro will overpower Lucci with Lion Song, and rush to Luffy’s aid, knowing he’s vulnerable, and trusting Sanji to protect the rest from Saturn.
Since Kizaru knows Saturn has the Stella cornered, he will turn to finishing off Luffy. Just as Rayleigh, the Pirate King’s 1st mate, saved Zoro from Kizaru, Zoro, the new Pirate King’s 1st mate, will save Luffy from Kizaru.
Nami:
-Is transporting Stussy in the Labophase with Usopp and Chopper (probably heading toward the Sunny and Lilith)
-Hates seeing children abused
-Has lightning that has been shown to be effective against machines
Nami will notice Saturn, and be shocked at first. However, upon watching Sanji and Franky fight by themselves, Nami will swallow, take out her Clima-Tact, and start spamming electric attacks.
BUT, I believe Nami is a Celestial Dragon, so, I think Saturn will recognize her voice, and say something that causes Nami confusion. It’s possible Nami just focuses on fighting Marines off from the Sunny, though.
Nami being a Celestial Dragon works very well thematically, as Gods are said to control the weather in One Piece, and that’s exactly what Nami does. Furthermore, Nami being enslaved by Arlong has a new level to it if Nami was a Celestial Dragon to begin with. This allows Nami to change Arlong’s racism in the future, by having the Celestial Dragon he enslaved save him instead.
Celestial Dragons expect islands to pay tribute to them, which is exactly what Nami was doing for Arlong.
Usopp:
-With Nami, Chopper and Stussy
-Has no real current plot relevance
This is a Usopp break arc, just not much for him to do. I’m sure Oda will give him something, but it won’t be the main focus. Usopp MAY interact with Saturn, since he’s a god, and Usopp is God as well. But, I’m not sure. Usopp shooting at Saturn would be great, though, I’m all here for it. Most likely, he guards the ship and fights off Marines.
Usopp fighting a Vice Admiral would be nice.
Sanji:
-Just watched Bonney attack Saturn
-Hates people who turn humans into machines/clone people (Judge/Saturn)
-Hates people who hurt women
Sanji is heavily connected to Bonney’s plot, as what happened to Kuma is his worst nightmare. When the Pacifistas begin attacking Bonney, Sanji will remember the pain of his father abusing him, the pain of losing his mother to science, and the pain of losing your humanity.
Once Vegapunk realizes that Sanji is Sora’s daughter (I meant to write son but I laughed my ass off at the incorrection, so I’m leaving it, LOL), he will reveal that he created the Germa comic and based the character off of Sora, Sanji’s mother, and her kindness.
Vegapunk will reveal he created the ultimate Raid Suit, but, it can’t be used by normal humans because of the strain it puts on their bodies. However, with Sanji’s exoskeleton and regeneration, he can wear it. Sanji’s themes are humanity, science, and food. Sanji connects heavily to this arc.
Chopper:
-Taking care of Stussy
While I think Vegapunk and Chopper will have interesting discussions in the future, I don’t see that happening now.
Chopper’s role is mostly likely defending the Sunny, possibly in Monster Point. His plot development here would be focused on Chopper using Rumble Balls, and then Lilith, also on the Sunny, commenting on them.
Caesar was Vegapunk’s apprentice, and helped Chopper modify his balls so they lasted longer (lololololololol). Vegapunk is obviously the superior scientist compared to Caesar (Momo’s Fruit and Seraphim >>>>>>>>> SMILES), so, Lilith will help Chopper out with his balls in the future.
Robin:
-Last seen at the beginning of Chapter 1090, being bandaged by Chopper due to her injuries
-Has value to the Blackbeard Pirates due to her knowledge of Pluton and Poneglyphs
Robin has three options I see here. 1. Kidnapped by Laffitte, Catarina, and Devon. 2. Sensed something and ran off (unlikely because she’s injured). 3. Is still in the lab with Edison, Kaku, and York, but hasn’t been shown.
I think #3 makes the most sense, as it would be hard to kidnap Robin while she’s in the room. It’s most likely that Oda just hasn’t shown her recently, and that she’s guarding York and Edison with Brook.
I expect Robin to fight against the Blackbeard Pirates soon, as she is an easy target for them right now. Laffitte is a former ruthless police officer, kind of like Cipher Pol, so I see him making a move on Robin to try to kidnap her. I believe Robin will resist, then flee.
If Robin did sneak out, I think she’s with Brook trying to access Punk Records, since it has Ohara’s research in it, and Robin is obviously willing to risk her life for that research.
Franky:
-Fighting with Sanji against Saturn
-Views Vegapunk as kind of a mentor
-Hates seeing tech used badly
Franky's regret in life was building technology that was used by evil people within the World Government to destroy the life of Tom, his father figure. In this arc, the WG used technology to destroy Kuma, and has turned Kuma into Franky’s bad timeline, where he becomes a full robot, then ship set on destroying ships.
Franky is going to have emotional moments watching Vegapunk confront Saturn about his sins. He’ll fight with Sanji to protect Bonney, then head back to the ship when reinforcements arrive.
Brook:
-Last seen in the last Page of Chapter 1092
-Known for sneaking off
Brook and Robin might have snuck off to do something important. Brook and Robin were paired together during the Black Maria fight, where Robin hallucinated about Saul and Ohara. If Brook and Robin have left the control room to Edison, then I expect they are headed to Punk Records to secure the information stored within it.
If this is the case, I expect them to run into Laffitte and Catarina. We know Blackbeard is gunning for Poneglyphs, making Robin valuable, and Laffitte is a former corrupt cop, matching Robin’s backstory as a falsely labeled criminal and Brook’s history as a soldier. Catarina hunts beautiful women, as well.
Jinbei:
-Is carrying Vegapunk’s luggage
-Has a vendetta against Celestial Dragons due to his race and Fisher Tiger
-Kizaru beat up Arlong, just sayin’
Jinbei will resume fighting once he drops Vegapunk’s luggage off on the Sunny. Oda seems to be sidelining him this arc. Seeing Jinbei fight back against Saturn, considering Saturn is a slavery-enabler, would be a lot of fun. Jinbei could be very useful if he commits to taking out some of the ships surrounding the island. The original plan is toast, so, trying to create alternate escape routes is a good idea.
Carrot: Oda hurts me (unless she got kidnapped by Caribou, but I don’t want that because Pot will be sad)
Yamato: Oda hurts me a lot, god damn it
Vegapunks:
Edison:
-Last Punk in the lab currently, guarding the Seraphim
-Controlling the Laser Grid, just turned it off recently
-Already injured/damaged
-Resembles the Automata in Enel’s cover story
Edison will die either from Seraphim or the Blackbeard Pirates. All it will take to free the Seraphim is a single Bubble Gun, and they still have their orders from York.
The only way I see Edison being significant is if he is hacked by Enel, or is working with Enel, since he heavily resembles the robots from Enel’s cover story, which were created by both the Ancient Lunar Race that inhabited the moon and built its ancient technology, as well as Vegapunk’s colleague from Karakuri island, Dr. Tsukimi.
Atlas:
-Loves fighting and is Vegapunk’s wrath
-Ordered the Pacifista before Saturn stopped them
Remember Atlas bull-rushing Lucci like an idiot? She’s going to attack Saturn, knowing that killing him or knocking him out will stop the Seraphim, and get crushed immediately by him.
Atlas is a character in Greek Mythology who is permanently crushed by the weight of the world, forced to hold up the planet. Atlas will be crushed permanently by the highest authority in the World Government, the Gorosei.
Atlas will die in 1095, I imagine, or take fatal injuries she succumbs to later, maybe in a sacrificial moment.
Stella:
-Kind genius who wants to give free energy to the entire world, and treats clones like people
-In a very bad situation in front of Saturn
-Stated he wants to protect Bonney
Oda wouldn’t let the good doctor die a worthless death, so, Vegapunk’s Stella will die mirroring Garp’s story: an old man sacrificing himself to save the youth. Stella will die defending Bonney from Saturn. This will trigger Sanji, but also Luffy, who will rise back up after realizing what Saturn did to the Stella (there’s a chance that Luffy defends the Stella from Saturn first, too).
I think Vegapunk will also give Bonney something, as he alluded to earlier… perhaps his own Command Control Chip, or some over-ride?
Lilith:
-Likes stealing from people’s ships and considers herself to be evil
-Very loyal to her family, shown being relieved Edison didn’t die, and furious at York
-Was trusted by Franky to watch over the Sunny and use the General Franky
It’s that new Straw Hat smell. What does Luffy love? Feeding people, which gives them energy. What did Luffy want to make Wano? A place where everyone had as much food as they wanted to eat (free energy). Luffy’s dream and Vegapunk’s dream coincide, and, Vegapunk has been a super-ally to the Straw Hats in this arc.
The only two Vegapunks to be antagonistic towards the Straw Hats for no reason were Lilith and York. However, Lilith has quickly shown she’s emotional, loyal, and has no problem breaking the law and shitting on the WG.
Lilith is a Straw Hat, and will join the crew to fight back against York joining Blackbeard. Lilith won’t let that huge hungry jerk take their research and use it for evil. Lilith is going to help the “evil” Straw Hats, instead.
Currently, Lilith is left alone with the Sunny, so, I assume she’ll put it in a safe spot. Lilith is still in the Labosphere, so, she can’t put the Sunny in the ocean, or anything, from here, it needs to be protected until it can get onto water. I guess they could go for a Burst from the Labophase, but, the impact would be hard when they hit the water.
York:
-She’s kind of a cunt, honestly
-Wants to be aligned with those who rule the world
-Backstabber with back up plans
-Currently cuffed in the Control Room
York gave up on the WG the moment they proved they were willing to murder her. Her actual back up plan is Blackbeard, who was seen showing interest in S-Hawk and his Lunarian genes.
Laffitte and Catarina were sent by BB to pick York up, since her Plan A failed. York’s trait is Greed; she won’t stop, and settle. York is smart enough to know the Celestial Dragons would never welcome her. Her initial goal was to infiltrate Mary Geoise to aid Blackbeard, but, now, things have changed, and she needs to be rescued. Once the Blackbeard Pirates arrive, Edison will be killed by them or York.
Ancient Robot:
-Awoke to Nika’s heartbeat
-Attacked Mary Geoise around the time when Fishmen were given human rights
-Connected to Kuma since Kuma did the same
I believe the Ancient Robot was the Franky of Joy Boy’s crew, and wanted to destroy the Gorosei, Joy Boy’s enemy, when attacking Mary Geoise. Now, The Ancient Robot will defend Luffy and the Straw Hats from Saturn.
CP0:
Stussy:
-Clone of Buckingham Stussy, a known liar and fraud
-Loyal to the Stella to the point of death
I think Stussy will survive, mostly because she’s still out, and seems to be seriously injured. If she wakes up, I assume she’ll help defend the Sunny from fodder. Stussy will become more important when she’s revealed to be Carrot’s mother in a future arc. She’s done enough, for now, single handedly shutting down CP0 earlier.
Since we don’t really know about her full history of powers, it would be strange to kill her now.
Kaku:
-Still in the lab in a bubble
-Not well protected
-Taking Ls the whole arc
I don’t think things will get better for Kaku, since… he’s surrounded by enemies, and has no real out. This entire arc he’s been being betrayed, whether it’s by Stussy letting him hit the laser grid, Stussy negging him, or Lucci refusing to lie about his murderous intent while captured.
Once York gets freed, I expect Kaku to ask York for help, saying, “Hey, you want to go with the Celestial Dragons, right?!? Well, I work for them, so free me! Let’s escape” However, since York is on Blackbeard’s side, she’ll just laugh and leave Kaku to die, if not attempt to kill him.
This will result in Kaku either being attacked by the WG while unable to fight back, or being attacked by Laffitte and Catarina themselves to tie up loose ends.
Lucci:
-Lucci’s goal is to eliminate piracy in order to create peace
-Lucci wants to assassinate all of the Straw Hats
-Connected to Pluton
Lucci WILL become a Straw Hat ally, the same way he abandoned the WG before; by being betrayed. We know that the Cipher Pol view each other as family. When Lucci was hurt after Water 7, they worked their asses off making money to heal him.
When Stussy attacked Kaku, Lucci was FURIOUS in a way we’ve rarely seen him. He wanted her blood for what she did to Kaku. That is the only way Lucci can turn: by having the WG attack his allies, his Nakama, the CP9 (now CP0) agents he grew up with. Lucci is a liar; he respects and treasure his comrades just as much as Luffy does. Hattori would not be so protective of Lucci, if he didn’t treat his Nakama well.
The government will attack the lab Kaku is in at some point, and Lucci will be unable to see what’s happening. Lucci will turn on the government upon them attacking Kaku.
It’s also possible that Lucci sense Kaku being attacked by the Blackbeard Pirates/York, and flees to save him.
Caribou:
-Knows Pluton is located in Wano, and wanted to tell a powerful pirate about this
-Missing since the beginning of chapter 1065
-Somewhat skilled infiltrator
Caribou wants to tell Blackbeard about Pluton, and now he’ll get the chance. After meeting up with Catarina and Laffitte and explaining himself, Caribou will be welcomed, and then spend his time… stealing shit.
Like, Caribou can put whatever he wants inside of him (giggidy). He’s currently on an island full of invaluable technology. Why not steal as much shit as possible, all of Egghead’s technology is incredibly expensive (we know this from Vegapunk himself). Even if Caribou and Blackbeard don’t know how to use the shit, they could just sell it. Eventually, Caribou will flee with Catarina and Devon, with York, tech, and some Seraphim in tow, unless he’s still around when Egghead “disappears”.
Caribou is known for worshipping a god, so, it’s possible he sees Saturn and shits his pants, too. Not sure Caribou ever saw Luffy in Gear 5, either, so, perhaps Caribou worships Nika? He is always smiling.
Blackbeard Pirates (Catarina/Laffitte):
-Skilled infiltrators
-Catarina is the sole person on the island capable of changing Saturn’s orders to the Pacifista and potentially Seraphim, by overriding his orders by shapeshifting into him.
-Blackbeard was interested in the Seraphim
Laffitte and Catarina are here to steal Seraphim, tech, and knowledge. And pick up York.
Laffitte can hypnotize people into telling him what he wants, and was skilled enough to sneak into a meeting between top Marine brass and Warlords of the Sea. Catarina can impersonate people, allowing her to impersonate Vegapunks, or Saturn himself, in order to control Pacifista.
Like the Straw Hats, this is an escape mission for them, but, there’s a chance Blackbeard himself shows up with greater strength if he’s worried. We know he’s a risky bastard.
Saturn:
-Is a known enemy of Luffy/Nika, as a false/evil God
-Views humans as insects, when he’s a spider-man-guy-thing
-Is familiar with Bonney, Kuma, and Vegapunk
-Is most likely the man who turned Kuma into a heartless war machine
Saturn is the Big Mom is this arc. A scary, unforeseen force the crew just can’t handle yet. Like Big Mom, Saturn can cast weird magic on those around him, and has no problem murdering his own subordinates just for looking at him wrong.
Saturn is the man who ruined Bonney’s life, in more ways than one. Currently, after Bonney attacked him, I believe Saturn will retaliate without hesitation. The Warrior God of Science and Defense would be in charge of Vegapunk, so, the man Bonney was recalling in the last pages of 1094 is clearly Saturn.
But, what is his actual goal? To kill Vegapunk, and Nika, if possible. Bonney is scared of insects, but, she is just an insect to Saturn. Since Saturn is surrounded by Pacifista he can control, he will tell them to eliminate Vegapunk and Bonney, while the group fights back, and order Kizaru to eliminate Luffy/Nika.
Sanji will see Bonney’s worry, and curse Saturn for attacking her, going into rage mode again. I think he will also get a Sora, Warrior of the Sea, Raid Suit from Vegapunk. Vegapunk has been shown to easily surpass Judge’s cloning technology and Caesar’s Artificial Devil Fruits, so, I assume he has surpassed Judge’s Raid Suits, as well, especially since the Sora/Germa comic strip feature a giant robot, making it clear (along with the character being named after Sanji’s mother) that the character Sora was inspired by Sanji’s mom.
Sanji, the young boy who’s life was ruined by his father trying to turn him into a warrior of science, a heartless machine, will protect Bonney from her father’s clones, and fight back against Saturn, the Warrior God of Science and Defense.
But, tragedy will strike: despite Sanji’s best efforts, Vegapunk, the Stella, will die. When Sanji is in danger, and the Stella is killed, Luffy will come at Saturn with the utmost fury.
Seraphim:
S-Hawk:
-Just wants to fight at this point
Going to Blackbeard via Catarina/York
S-Shark:
-Just wants to fight at this point (possibly missing a limb)
Going to Blackbeard via Catarina/York
S-Snake:
-Infatuated with Luffy and willing to ignore her own orders for him
Will protect Luffy at some point, and become a Straw Hat ally to help Luffy. Boa was famously kidnapped (and heavily implied to be raped) by Celestial Dragons, so, S-Snake should have a natural hatred for Saturn.
S-Snake will rush to Luffy’s aid to fight Saturn along side him.
S-Bear:
-Connected to Bonney, when we know Seraphim retain their original personalities
-Was known for behaving wrong, which is why he was sent back to Egghead
Will inherit Kuma’s Will through Bonney and Kuma (more on this later in the Kuma section). Once S-Bear is freed, he will rush to defend Bonney, like S-Snake with Luffy.
Bonney:
-Overeater with pink hair who has horrible mood swings, acts like a child, and is incredibly loyal to her lost parent
-Trying to kill Saturn (Halo announcer voice: “Good Luck”)
-Is the main female focus in an arc focused on cloning
Bonney is a clone, either of Kuma’s original child, or Big Mom, or a mix of both. Either way, she is also still a child, hence calling Kuma “daddy” and her appearing as a child after falling into water, along with her bad behavior at times.
Bonney is sadly another damsel in distress, waiting to get rescued by Vegapunk, Sanji, Luffy, Kuma, and Seraphim.
I also believe she ate Toki’s Fruit (her powers are all time centric and we’ve yet to see the Toki Toki no Mi, when Bartolomeo and Bon Kurei’s Fruits were also in Wano and magically appeared outside the country years later), and that Saturn will reveal this. The next chapters will be Bonney and Kuma’s backstory, and we will see how Kuma gave his life up for Bonney.
Kuma:
-From a special race, according to Bonney.
-Now a mindless (corporate?) slave built for war, like what Judge wanted Sanji to be
-Works for a man named Dragon when the Celestial Dragons are his greatest enemies
-Carries a Bible when his greatest enemies are literal demons/devils
Kuma rescued Bonney years ago, and raised her as his daughter. Kuma knew that Bonney was a failed clone of Big Mom, and didn’t want her to be treated the way he had growing up, for being different.
Kuma’s kingdom was poor and weak, but, eventually, Kuma was revealed to be a Lunarian. The kingdom sold Kuma out to the WG, and they began experimenting on him, much like King and Kaido. No matter how much Kuma begged, he was forced back to be abused and experimented on.
Eventually, Dragon (known for rescuing children) arrived and rescued Kuma, taking over the nation and saving it. Kuma grew up alongside Dragon and the revs, until a long time later Vegapunk contacted them, saying the WG was trying to do something horrible to Bonney.
Kuma took Bonney in, and, became the ruler (“tyrant”) of the kingdom that had once oppressed him. However, the WG eventually kidnapped Bonney, and made a deal: either join with us, or we will kill your daughter and destroy your kingdom. I assume Kuma tried to fight back, and was beaten by Saturn.
Kuma gave up his humanity to save Bonney and his Kingdom, the Sorbet Kingdom. The reason Saturn told the Marines to leave Bonney alone, even though he views humans as insects, is because Saturn made the deal with Kuma to not harm Bonney. When Saturn says that he had no more use for her, it’s because Kuma is already gone, so Bonney can no longer be used to blackmail him.
BUT. Vegapunk had a plan. Vegapunk cares for Dragon, and Kuma. We can see in the last chapter, 1094, that Vegapunk resisted Saturn when it came to destroying Kuma’s humanity. So, Vegapunk found a work around.
Vegapunk programmed Kuma so that his last act would be to take the memories Bonney found, from the Labophase, and place them into S-Bear, to reincarnate Kuma as S-Bear. However, Bonney got to them first.
Kuma is travelling to Egghead to give his memories to S-Bear, so, when Kuma reaches his daughter, he will merge his memories and Bonney’s with S-Bear, so that he can live on.
In his dying breath, Kuma will transport Egghead Island to Wano, where Vegapunk can work with Chopper to cure the land of disease, and cure the people of the disease of SMILE. This will also lead into Vegapunk explaining how Seastone works, as Seastone originates from Wano, as we know thanks to CP0 and Orochi.
Sabaody ended with the Straw Hats on an island made up of multiple islands (Sabaody Archipelago) being transported to multiple islands.
Egghead will end with one island being transported to an island made up of multiple islands (Wano), where Blackbeard, after learning of Pluton from Caribou, is assaulting Wano for Pluton.
Lilith, the surviving Vegapunk that is good, will fight with the Straw Hats to keep York, a savant of the Ancient History and Technology, from claiming Pluton for Blackbeard.
And, finally, after sacrificing so much, S-Kuma will be able to be with his daughter, Bonney, again, and they’ll travel with the Straw Hats while Sanji feeds Bonney tons of good food. In Skypiea, Chopper got messed up by the flaming spear dude on the bird, and in Water 7, Usopp couldn’t protect the ship. Chopper and Brook couldn’t protect the ship from Perospero.
Kuma? THAT MAN CAN PROTECT THE SUNNY. LET’S GO, WE GOT ANOTHER SUPER COOL CYBORG PAL!
This is a giant thread highlighting my predictions for characters and plotlines in the Egghead Arc. If you don’t like reading, leave, because boy there are toooooo many damn words in this fucking thread. Due to the length of the thread, I’ve omitted adding any images into it.

So, what’s next?
To begin with, let’s get a few things straight.
1. This is an escape arc (defeating Kizaru/Saturn and everyone else is not a goal).
2. The Straw Hats are surrounded to the extent that current escape is impossible, and that victory in combat is impossible.
3. The Straw Hats and Vegapunks are no longer able to stop the Pacifistas. There is no way Saturn is dying during his introduction as a top tier, Oda does not write top tiers like that. If Saturn dies or is knocked out convincingly, then all Gorosei hype dies immediately.
4. The most reliable escape from the island is Kuma or S-Bear’s powers.
5. Vegapunk has some back up of Punk Records, or he wouldn’t be willing to leave the island, as that research is his life’s work.
To begin with, the problem is very simple: the Straw Hats are trapped like mice in a well surrounded by hungry cats.
Luffy is down (for a short time, Gear 5 has a smaller cooldown than Gear 4), Zoro is busy fighting Lucci, and now the Stella, Bonney, and Sanji and Franky are staring down Saturn.
So, the question is, how do they survive, and escape? The escape is simple: Kuma. Egghead is Sabaody all over again. The Straw Hats are feeling cocky, like they can’t be beat, and run into a buzzsaw because of a Celestial Dragon, leading to them fighting Kizaru. Kuma is supposed to be on the WG’s side, but is inexplicably working against them. Bonney stopped Zoro from killing Charlos, and she wants to kill Saturn. Sabaody was about freeing a girl (Camie) from slavery, Egghead is about Kuma becoming a slave.
The most obvious solution to escape is a Kuma teleport. Even if the original plan had worked, Kizaru and 100 ships were coming after the Straw Hats.
So, let’s go through each character, and see where they’ll end up.
Luffy:
-Was seen by Saturn
-Is the Gorosei’s ancient enemy
-Is currently down
I see Luffy getting up and fighting Saturn in a little while, after someone calls for his help (like how Luffy used a strong attack after Franky asked for his help). No way Luffy is down, but, he’s fought a lot in the last few days, so, he’ll need a breather.
Since Luffy is the Gorosei’s greatest enemy, Joy Boy, and Saturn is introducing himself as a top tier, Luffy will end up fighting Saturn, probably after Saturn kills Atlas or Stella
Zoro:
-Fighting on par with Lucci
-Is known to stall opponents before destroying them (see Apoo)
-Has unfinished business with Kizaru after Sabaody
-Is comparable to Rayleigh, who fought Kizaru in Sabaody
Zoro has already sensed Saturn’s presence, and will now sense Luffy losing his Haki/falling down and unconscious. Knowing the situation has gotten much worse, Zoro will overpower Lucci with Lion Song, and rush to Luffy’s aid, knowing he’s vulnerable, and trusting Sanji to protect the rest from Saturn.
Since Kizaru knows Saturn has the Stella cornered, he will turn to finishing off Luffy. Just as Rayleigh, the Pirate King’s 1st mate, saved Zoro from Kizaru, Zoro, the new Pirate King’s 1st mate, will save Luffy from Kizaru.
Nami:
-Is transporting Stussy in the Labophase with Usopp and Chopper (probably heading toward the Sunny and Lilith)
-Hates seeing children abused
-Has lightning that has been shown to be effective against machines
Nami will notice Saturn, and be shocked at first. However, upon watching Sanji and Franky fight by themselves, Nami will swallow, take out her Clima-Tact, and start spamming electric attacks.
BUT, I believe Nami is a Celestial Dragon, so, I think Saturn will recognize her voice, and say something that causes Nami confusion. It’s possible Nami just focuses on fighting Marines off from the Sunny, though.
Nami being a Celestial Dragon works very well thematically, as Gods are said to control the weather in One Piece, and that’s exactly what Nami does. Furthermore, Nami being enslaved by Arlong has a new level to it if Nami was a Celestial Dragon to begin with. This allows Nami to change Arlong’s racism in the future, by having the Celestial Dragon he enslaved save him instead.
Celestial Dragons expect islands to pay tribute to them, which is exactly what Nami was doing for Arlong.
Usopp:
-With Nami, Chopper and Stussy
-Has no real current plot relevance
This is a Usopp break arc, just not much for him to do. I’m sure Oda will give him something, but it won’t be the main focus. Usopp MAY interact with Saturn, since he’s a god, and Usopp is God as well. But, I’m not sure. Usopp shooting at Saturn would be great, though, I’m all here for it. Most likely, he guards the ship and fights off Marines.
Usopp fighting a Vice Admiral would be nice.
Sanji:
-Just watched Bonney attack Saturn
-Hates people who turn humans into machines/clone people (Judge/Saturn)
-Hates people who hurt women
Sanji is heavily connected to Bonney’s plot, as what happened to Kuma is his worst nightmare. When the Pacifistas begin attacking Bonney, Sanji will remember the pain of his father abusing him, the pain of losing his mother to science, and the pain of losing your humanity.
Once Vegapunk realizes that Sanji is Sora’s daughter (I meant to write son but I laughed my ass off at the incorrection, so I’m leaving it, LOL), he will reveal that he created the Germa comic and based the character off of Sora, Sanji’s mother, and her kindness.
Vegapunk will reveal he created the ultimate Raid Suit, but, it can’t be used by normal humans because of the strain it puts on their bodies. However, with Sanji’s exoskeleton and regeneration, he can wear it. Sanji’s themes are humanity, science, and food. Sanji connects heavily to this arc.
Chopper:
-Taking care of Stussy
While I think Vegapunk and Chopper will have interesting discussions in the future, I don’t see that happening now.
Chopper’s role is mostly likely defending the Sunny, possibly in Monster Point. His plot development here would be focused on Chopper using Rumble Balls, and then Lilith, also on the Sunny, commenting on them.
Caesar was Vegapunk’s apprentice, and helped Chopper modify his balls so they lasted longer (lololololololol). Vegapunk is obviously the superior scientist compared to Caesar (Momo’s Fruit and Seraphim >>>>>>>>> SMILES), so, Lilith will help Chopper out with his balls in the future.
Robin:
-Last seen at the beginning of Chapter 1090, being bandaged by Chopper due to her injuries
-Has value to the Blackbeard Pirates due to her knowledge of Pluton and Poneglyphs
Robin has three options I see here. 1. Kidnapped by Laffitte, Catarina, and Devon. 2. Sensed something and ran off (unlikely because she’s injured). 3. Is still in the lab with Edison, Kaku, and York, but hasn’t been shown.
I think #3 makes the most sense, as it would be hard to kidnap Robin while she’s in the room. It’s most likely that Oda just hasn’t shown her recently, and that she’s guarding York and Edison with Brook.
I expect Robin to fight against the Blackbeard Pirates soon, as she is an easy target for them right now. Laffitte is a former ruthless police officer, kind of like Cipher Pol, so I see him making a move on Robin to try to kidnap her. I believe Robin will resist, then flee.
If Robin did sneak out, I think she’s with Brook trying to access Punk Records, since it has Ohara’s research in it, and Robin is obviously willing to risk her life for that research.
Franky:
-Fighting with Sanji against Saturn
-Views Vegapunk as kind of a mentor
-Hates seeing tech used badly
Franky's regret in life was building technology that was used by evil people within the World Government to destroy the life of Tom, his father figure. In this arc, the WG used technology to destroy Kuma, and has turned Kuma into Franky’s bad timeline, where he becomes a full robot, then ship set on destroying ships.
Franky is going to have emotional moments watching Vegapunk confront Saturn about his sins. He’ll fight with Sanji to protect Bonney, then head back to the ship when reinforcements arrive.
Brook:
-Last seen in the last Page of Chapter 1092
-Known for sneaking off
Brook and Robin might have snuck off to do something important. Brook and Robin were paired together during the Black Maria fight, where Robin hallucinated about Saul and Ohara. If Brook and Robin have left the control room to Edison, then I expect they are headed to Punk Records to secure the information stored within it.
If this is the case, I expect them to run into Laffitte and Catarina. We know Blackbeard is gunning for Poneglyphs, making Robin valuable, and Laffitte is a former corrupt cop, matching Robin’s backstory as a falsely labeled criminal and Brook’s history as a soldier. Catarina hunts beautiful women, as well.
Jinbei:
-Is carrying Vegapunk’s luggage
-Has a vendetta against Celestial Dragons due to his race and Fisher Tiger
-Kizaru beat up Arlong, just sayin’
Jinbei will resume fighting once he drops Vegapunk’s luggage off on the Sunny. Oda seems to be sidelining him this arc. Seeing Jinbei fight back against Saturn, considering Saturn is a slavery-enabler, would be a lot of fun. Jinbei could be very useful if he commits to taking out some of the ships surrounding the island. The original plan is toast, so, trying to create alternate escape routes is a good idea.
Carrot: Oda hurts me (unless she got kidnapped by Caribou, but I don’t want that because Pot will be sad)
Yamato: Oda hurts me a lot, god damn it
Vegapunks:
Edison:
-Last Punk in the lab currently, guarding the Seraphim
-Controlling the Laser Grid, just turned it off recently
-Already injured/damaged
-Resembles the Automata in Enel’s cover story
Edison will die either from Seraphim or the Blackbeard Pirates. All it will take to free the Seraphim is a single Bubble Gun, and they still have their orders from York.
The only way I see Edison being significant is if he is hacked by Enel, or is working with Enel, since he heavily resembles the robots from Enel’s cover story, which were created by both the Ancient Lunar Race that inhabited the moon and built its ancient technology, as well as Vegapunk’s colleague from Karakuri island, Dr. Tsukimi.
Atlas:
-Loves fighting and is Vegapunk’s wrath
-Ordered the Pacifista before Saturn stopped them
Remember Atlas bull-rushing Lucci like an idiot? She’s going to attack Saturn, knowing that killing him or knocking him out will stop the Seraphim, and get crushed immediately by him.
Atlas is a character in Greek Mythology who is permanently crushed by the weight of the world, forced to hold up the planet. Atlas will be crushed permanently by the highest authority in the World Government, the Gorosei.
Atlas will die in 1095, I imagine, or take fatal injuries she succumbs to later, maybe in a sacrificial moment.
Stella:
-Kind genius who wants to give free energy to the entire world, and treats clones like people
-In a very bad situation in front of Saturn
-Stated he wants to protect Bonney
Oda wouldn’t let the good doctor die a worthless death, so, Vegapunk’s Stella will die mirroring Garp’s story: an old man sacrificing himself to save the youth. Stella will die defending Bonney from Saturn. This will trigger Sanji, but also Luffy, who will rise back up after realizing what Saturn did to the Stella (there’s a chance that Luffy defends the Stella from Saturn first, too).
I think Vegapunk will also give Bonney something, as he alluded to earlier… perhaps his own Command Control Chip, or some over-ride?
Lilith:
-Likes stealing from people’s ships and considers herself to be evil
-Very loyal to her family, shown being relieved Edison didn’t die, and furious at York
-Was trusted by Franky to watch over the Sunny and use the General Franky
It’s that new Straw Hat smell. What does Luffy love? Feeding people, which gives them energy. What did Luffy want to make Wano? A place where everyone had as much food as they wanted to eat (free energy). Luffy’s dream and Vegapunk’s dream coincide, and, Vegapunk has been a super-ally to the Straw Hats in this arc.
The only two Vegapunks to be antagonistic towards the Straw Hats for no reason were Lilith and York. However, Lilith has quickly shown she’s emotional, loyal, and has no problem breaking the law and shitting on the WG.
Lilith is a Straw Hat, and will join the crew to fight back against York joining Blackbeard. Lilith won’t let that huge hungry jerk take their research and use it for evil. Lilith is going to help the “evil” Straw Hats, instead.
Currently, Lilith is left alone with the Sunny, so, I assume she’ll put it in a safe spot. Lilith is still in the Labosphere, so, she can’t put the Sunny in the ocean, or anything, from here, it needs to be protected until it can get onto water. I guess they could go for a Burst from the Labophase, but, the impact would be hard when they hit the water.
York:
-She’s kind of a cunt, honestly
-Wants to be aligned with those who rule the world
-Backstabber with back up plans
-Currently cuffed in the Control Room
York gave up on the WG the moment they proved they were willing to murder her. Her actual back up plan is Blackbeard, who was seen showing interest in S-Hawk and his Lunarian genes.
Laffitte and Catarina were sent by BB to pick York up, since her Plan A failed. York’s trait is Greed; she won’t stop, and settle. York is smart enough to know the Celestial Dragons would never welcome her. Her initial goal was to infiltrate Mary Geoise to aid Blackbeard, but, now, things have changed, and she needs to be rescued. Once the Blackbeard Pirates arrive, Edison will be killed by them or York.
Ancient Robot:
-Awoke to Nika’s heartbeat
-Attacked Mary Geoise around the time when Fishmen were given human rights
-Connected to Kuma since Kuma did the same
I believe the Ancient Robot was the Franky of Joy Boy’s crew, and wanted to destroy the Gorosei, Joy Boy’s enemy, when attacking Mary Geoise. Now, The Ancient Robot will defend Luffy and the Straw Hats from Saturn.
CP0:
Stussy:
-Clone of Buckingham Stussy, a known liar and fraud
-Loyal to the Stella to the point of death
I think Stussy will survive, mostly because she’s still out, and seems to be seriously injured. If she wakes up, I assume she’ll help defend the Sunny from fodder. Stussy will become more important when she’s revealed to be Carrot’s mother in a future arc. She’s done enough, for now, single handedly shutting down CP0 earlier.
Since we don’t really know about her full history of powers, it would be strange to kill her now.
Kaku:
-Still in the lab in a bubble
-Not well protected
-Taking Ls the whole arc
I don’t think things will get better for Kaku, since… he’s surrounded by enemies, and has no real out. This entire arc he’s been being betrayed, whether it’s by Stussy letting him hit the laser grid, Stussy negging him, or Lucci refusing to lie about his murderous intent while captured.
Once York gets freed, I expect Kaku to ask York for help, saying, “Hey, you want to go with the Celestial Dragons, right?!? Well, I work for them, so free me! Let’s escape” However, since York is on Blackbeard’s side, she’ll just laugh and leave Kaku to die, if not attempt to kill him.
This will result in Kaku either being attacked by the WG while unable to fight back, or being attacked by Laffitte and Catarina themselves to tie up loose ends.
Lucci:
-Lucci’s goal is to eliminate piracy in order to create peace
-Lucci wants to assassinate all of the Straw Hats
-Connected to Pluton
Lucci WILL become a Straw Hat ally, the same way he abandoned the WG before; by being betrayed. We know that the Cipher Pol view each other as family. When Lucci was hurt after Water 7, they worked their asses off making money to heal him.
When Stussy attacked Kaku, Lucci was FURIOUS in a way we’ve rarely seen him. He wanted her blood for what she did to Kaku. That is the only way Lucci can turn: by having the WG attack his allies, his Nakama, the CP9 (now CP0) agents he grew up with. Lucci is a liar; he respects and treasure his comrades just as much as Luffy does. Hattori would not be so protective of Lucci, if he didn’t treat his Nakama well.
The government will attack the lab Kaku is in at some point, and Lucci will be unable to see what’s happening. Lucci will turn on the government upon them attacking Kaku.
It’s also possible that Lucci sense Kaku being attacked by the Blackbeard Pirates/York, and flees to save him.
Caribou:
-Knows Pluton is located in Wano, and wanted to tell a powerful pirate about this
-Missing since the beginning of chapter 1065
-Somewhat skilled infiltrator
Caribou wants to tell Blackbeard about Pluton, and now he’ll get the chance. After meeting up with Catarina and Laffitte and explaining himself, Caribou will be welcomed, and then spend his time… stealing shit.
Like, Caribou can put whatever he wants inside of him (giggidy). He’s currently on an island full of invaluable technology. Why not steal as much shit as possible, all of Egghead’s technology is incredibly expensive (we know this from Vegapunk himself). Even if Caribou and Blackbeard don’t know how to use the shit, they could just sell it. Eventually, Caribou will flee with Catarina and Devon, with York, tech, and some Seraphim in tow, unless he’s still around when Egghead “disappears”.
Caribou is known for worshipping a god, so, it’s possible he sees Saturn and shits his pants, too. Not sure Caribou ever saw Luffy in Gear 5, either, so, perhaps Caribou worships Nika? He is always smiling.
Blackbeard Pirates (Catarina/Laffitte):
-Skilled infiltrators
-Catarina is the sole person on the island capable of changing Saturn’s orders to the Pacifista and potentially Seraphim, by overriding his orders by shapeshifting into him.
-Blackbeard was interested in the Seraphim
Laffitte and Catarina are here to steal Seraphim, tech, and knowledge. And pick up York.
Laffitte can hypnotize people into telling him what he wants, and was skilled enough to sneak into a meeting between top Marine brass and Warlords of the Sea. Catarina can impersonate people, allowing her to impersonate Vegapunks, or Saturn himself, in order to control Pacifista.
Like the Straw Hats, this is an escape mission for them, but, there’s a chance Blackbeard himself shows up with greater strength if he’s worried. We know he’s a risky bastard.
Saturn:
-Is a known enemy of Luffy/Nika, as a false/evil God
-Views humans as insects, when he’s a spider-man-guy-thing
-Is familiar with Bonney, Kuma, and Vegapunk
-Is most likely the man who turned Kuma into a heartless war machine
Saturn is the Big Mom is this arc. A scary, unforeseen force the crew just can’t handle yet. Like Big Mom, Saturn can cast weird magic on those around him, and has no problem murdering his own subordinates just for looking at him wrong.
Saturn is the man who ruined Bonney’s life, in more ways than one. Currently, after Bonney attacked him, I believe Saturn will retaliate without hesitation. The Warrior God of Science and Defense would be in charge of Vegapunk, so, the man Bonney was recalling in the last pages of 1094 is clearly Saturn.
But, what is his actual goal? To kill Vegapunk, and Nika, if possible. Bonney is scared of insects, but, she is just an insect to Saturn. Since Saturn is surrounded by Pacifista he can control, he will tell them to eliminate Vegapunk and Bonney, while the group fights back, and order Kizaru to eliminate Luffy/Nika.
Sanji will see Bonney’s worry, and curse Saturn for attacking her, going into rage mode again. I think he will also get a Sora, Warrior of the Sea, Raid Suit from Vegapunk. Vegapunk has been shown to easily surpass Judge’s cloning technology and Caesar’s Artificial Devil Fruits, so, I assume he has surpassed Judge’s Raid Suits, as well, especially since the Sora/Germa comic strip feature a giant robot, making it clear (along with the character being named after Sanji’s mother) that the character Sora was inspired by Sanji’s mom.
Sanji, the young boy who’s life was ruined by his father trying to turn him into a warrior of science, a heartless machine, will protect Bonney from her father’s clones, and fight back against Saturn, the Warrior God of Science and Defense.
But, tragedy will strike: despite Sanji’s best efforts, Vegapunk, the Stella, will die. When Sanji is in danger, and the Stella is killed, Luffy will come at Saturn with the utmost fury.
Seraphim:
S-Hawk:
-Just wants to fight at this point
Going to Blackbeard via Catarina/York
S-Shark:
-Just wants to fight at this point (possibly missing a limb)
Going to Blackbeard via Catarina/York
S-Snake:
-Infatuated with Luffy and willing to ignore her own orders for him
Will protect Luffy at some point, and become a Straw Hat ally to help Luffy. Boa was famously kidnapped (and heavily implied to be raped) by Celestial Dragons, so, S-Snake should have a natural hatred for Saturn.
S-Snake will rush to Luffy’s aid to fight Saturn along side him.
S-Bear:
-Connected to Bonney, when we know Seraphim retain their original personalities
-Was known for behaving wrong, which is why he was sent back to Egghead
Will inherit Kuma’s Will through Bonney and Kuma (more on this later in the Kuma section). Once S-Bear is freed, he will rush to defend Bonney, like S-Snake with Luffy.
Bonney:
-Overeater with pink hair who has horrible mood swings, acts like a child, and is incredibly loyal to her lost parent
-Trying to kill Saturn (Halo announcer voice: “Good Luck”)
-Is the main female focus in an arc focused on cloning
Bonney is a clone, either of Kuma’s original child, or Big Mom, or a mix of both. Either way, she is also still a child, hence calling Kuma “daddy” and her appearing as a child after falling into water, along with her bad behavior at times.
Bonney is sadly another damsel in distress, waiting to get rescued by Vegapunk, Sanji, Luffy, Kuma, and Seraphim.
I also believe she ate Toki’s Fruit (her powers are all time centric and we’ve yet to see the Toki Toki no Mi, when Bartolomeo and Bon Kurei’s Fruits were also in Wano and magically appeared outside the country years later), and that Saturn will reveal this. The next chapters will be Bonney and Kuma’s backstory, and we will see how Kuma gave his life up for Bonney.
Kuma:
-From a special race, according to Bonney.
-Now a mindless (corporate?) slave built for war, like what Judge wanted Sanji to be
-Works for a man named Dragon when the Celestial Dragons are his greatest enemies
-Carries a Bible when his greatest enemies are literal demons/devils
Kuma rescued Bonney years ago, and raised her as his daughter. Kuma knew that Bonney was a failed clone of Big Mom, and didn’t want her to be treated the way he had growing up, for being different.
Kuma’s kingdom was poor and weak, but, eventually, Kuma was revealed to be a Lunarian. The kingdom sold Kuma out to the WG, and they began experimenting on him, much like King and Kaido. No matter how much Kuma begged, he was forced back to be abused and experimented on.
Eventually, Dragon (known for rescuing children) arrived and rescued Kuma, taking over the nation and saving it. Kuma grew up alongside Dragon and the revs, until a long time later Vegapunk contacted them, saying the WG was trying to do something horrible to Bonney.
Kuma took Bonney in, and, became the ruler (“tyrant”) of the kingdom that had once oppressed him. However, the WG eventually kidnapped Bonney, and made a deal: either join with us, or we will kill your daughter and destroy your kingdom. I assume Kuma tried to fight back, and was beaten by Saturn.
Kuma gave up his humanity to save Bonney and his Kingdom, the Sorbet Kingdom. The reason Saturn told the Marines to leave Bonney alone, even though he views humans as insects, is because Saturn made the deal with Kuma to not harm Bonney. When Saturn says that he had no more use for her, it’s because Kuma is already gone, so Bonney can no longer be used to blackmail him.
BUT. Vegapunk had a plan. Vegapunk cares for Dragon, and Kuma. We can see in the last chapter, 1094, that Vegapunk resisted Saturn when it came to destroying Kuma’s humanity. So, Vegapunk found a work around.
Vegapunk programmed Kuma so that his last act would be to take the memories Bonney found, from the Labophase, and place them into S-Bear, to reincarnate Kuma as S-Bear. However, Bonney got to them first.
Kuma is travelling to Egghead to give his memories to S-Bear, so, when Kuma reaches his daughter, he will merge his memories and Bonney’s with S-Bear, so that he can live on.
In his dying breath, Kuma will transport Egghead Island to Wano, where Vegapunk can work with Chopper to cure the land of disease, and cure the people of the disease of SMILE. This will also lead into Vegapunk explaining how Seastone works, as Seastone originates from Wano, as we know thanks to CP0 and Orochi.
Sabaody ended with the Straw Hats on an island made up of multiple islands (Sabaody Archipelago) being transported to multiple islands.
Egghead will end with one island being transported to an island made up of multiple islands (Wano), where Blackbeard, after learning of Pluton from Caribou, is assaulting Wano for Pluton.
Lilith, the surviving Vegapunk that is good, will fight with the Straw Hats to keep York, a savant of the Ancient History and Technology, from claiming Pluton for Blackbeard.
And, finally, after sacrificing so much, S-Kuma will be able to be with his daughter, Bonney, again, and they’ll travel with the Straw Hats while Sanji feeds Bonney tons of good food. In Skypiea, Chopper got messed up by the flaming spear dude on the bird, and in Water 7, Usopp couldn’t protect the ship. Chopper and Brook couldn’t protect the ship from Perospero.
Kuma? THAT MAN CAN PROTECT THE SUNNY. LET’S GO, WE GOT ANOTHER SUPER COOL CYBORG PAL!
