One Piece Chapter 1081: Release Date, Discussion, Delay, Read Online

Garp comes in to save Koby in chapter 1080 of One Piece, titled “The Hero of Legend.”

It was an epic chapter with an awesome climax. It was highly enjoyable, and we saw Garp back in action and learned about SWORD. Koby tried to escape on his own but was surrounded by pirates. 

However, his fellow SWORD members came in to save him, and they were accompanied by the legendary vice-admiral Garp, who completely destroyed everything with just one punch. 

Here are the latest updates.

1. Chapter 1081 Raw Scans, Leaks

The raw scans of chapter 1081 of One Piece have been released. The spoilers reveal that the new chapter is titled “10th Ship Captain: Kuzan.” Aokiji Kuzan is the captain of the tenth ship of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Kuzan freezes Hibari, and then he faces Garp. He says “Will you be able to kill your former “No.1 apprentice” to save your current one!? I like how you always have done whatever you liked…Now I’m doing the same, that’s why I’m following Teach!!”

A flashback starts and it shows Blackbeard and Kuzan on a certain island one year after the Kuzan Vs. Akainu battle in Punk Hazard. Part of the Blackbeard pirates arrive on an island and see some of their nakama are frozen. They encounter Kuzan in a bar and get along well. Lafitte whispers to Teach to kill Kuzan and take his powers, but he offers Kuzan to join him instead.

Blackbeard asks Kuzan about a man with a burn scar because it seems like the man has the remaining Road Poneglyph. It is said that the scarred man rides on a black ship, creating whirlpools to sink his enemies in the sea. Shiryu comments that the man might be working for the World Government as it won’t be uncommon for them to keep a piece of poneglyph to prevent pirates from reaching One Piece. Kuzan denies knowledge of any such person.

The flashback ends, and Garp vs. Kuzan continues in chapter 1081. Garp breaks through Kuzan’s Ice Ball attack. Garp uses a new attack, Blue Hole, that smashes Kuzan’s body and splits the ground.

The scene then cuts to Winner Island, where Law has been defeated. Blackbeard is panting with a bloody face as he contemplates what to do with Law’s power, whether to use it or sell it.

Bepo then ingests a medicine that Chopper had given him, which turns him into Sulong form. He is like a huge polar bear in the new form, and he attacks Blackbeard before he can steal Law’s power.

Bepo then takes Law into the sea, Polar Tang has been destroyed, and the rest of the Heart Pirates are either in the sea or lying on the ground. Trafalgar Law and his crew have been defeated.

2. Chapter 1081 Discussion

Garp will take Koby away in chapter 1081 of One Piece. 

I. Will Garp fight Blackbeard?

They are some chances of that happening. However, I don’t think it will happen because Blackbeard is shown to be heading to Egghead. Apart from that, it seems to be a good matchup thanks to the devil fruits Blackbeard has attained. 

Some fans think Garp will die, but that is impossible. 

Between all this, how Blackbeard managed to reach Egghead is still a mystery.

II. What about Law?

We are yet to know what happened to Law. Everyone anticipated that he might have died, but Oda didn’t reveal anything about him. The timeline of events has gotten a bit confusing, and maybe Law has already been defeated before Garp’s interference. 

III. What is Kuzan doing with Blackbeard?

It is quite unexpected to see Kuzan having an alliance with the pirates. Fans think he has some hidden motivation that is yet to be revealed. I am highly interested to see where all this will go. 

3. Chapter 1081 Release Date

Chapter 1081 of One Piece will be released on Sunday, April 23, 2023. It is a weekly manga, and a new chapter is released every Sunday.

I. Is One Piece on break this month?

Yes, One Piece is on break this week. The next chapter will be released on the above-mentioned date.

5. Chapter 1080 Recap

On Pirate Island Fullalead, New World, the pirates are excited because Koby escaped and now has a bounty of 500 million berries on his head. Pizarro informs his men that slaves are trying to escape.

He tells them to bring everyone back and not to kill Koby. Koby has managed to save the slaves and tells them to run away while he acts as a decoy. Pizarro and Shiryu of the Rain try to find him and takes the help of Vasco Shot and San Juan Wolf.

We get a flashback where Blackbeard tells Koby he wants to turn the island into a country and become the kingdom’s king. He is using Koby as a bargain to let the government permit him.

Koby tells him it will not work as he is a member of SWORD. Kuzan explains to Blackbeard that SWORD is a marine commando free from the marine officials above him. 

They can do things as they like and choose not to follow orders or rules. They can even attack the four emperors if they want. Even after hearing all this, Blackbeard is still interested in keeping Koby as a captive. 

Perona freed Koby on the condition that he would rescue Moria. Koby realizes that marines have shown up on the island. These are super strong marines who completely overwhelm the pirates. 

Among these marines are Kujaku, rear admiral and daughter of Tsuru, Hibari, lieutenant commander and a member of Sword, and rear admiral Prince Grus. They take care of the situation and make sure that Koby is fine. 

A navy battleship approaches the island, and out comes Garp. The pirates are in utter shock to see the hero. He calls out to the pirates for kidnapping the wrong guy, as Koby is the future of the navy and his protege. 

With this, he destroys the place with his Galaxy Impact, shattering all the buildings and land.
