2. Recap of Episode 1123 of One Piece
The episode kicks off with silence. Across the world, familiar faces react to the news of Garp’s fate. In Foosha Village, Makino, Dadan and Mayor Woop Slap’s reaction paint a grim picture because for them, Garp was unshakable. Now, nothing feels certain. That mood plunges deeper by a worldwide earthquake, the result of the Lulusia Kingdom’s destruction, which remains a mystery but is definitely not a coincidence.
On Egghead Island, tensions rise fast. The Straw Hat Pirates, still allied with Dr. Vegapunk, brace for what’s coming at them: a full-on Buster Call. Admiral Kizaru leads the charge, backed by nine Vice Admirals and an overwhelming Marine force.
However, Egghead isn’t defenseless. Sea Beast Weapons push back hard, stalling the assault and giving the crew a temporary edge. Amid the chaos, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn remains calm. While the Marines scramble outside, he sits aboard his ship, eating quietly, watching.
Then comes the twist. A live transmission breaks through to the Marine fleet and even the Five Elders at Mariejois. It’s Vegapunk York who sounds tearful, frantic, and furious. She demands to know why she’s being targeted despite her loyalty to the World Government.
In a desperate plea, she threatens to destroy the “Mother Flame” formula, using the Seraphim as leverage. But just as it seems she’s bargaining for her life, she drops another bomb. York is being held hostage by the Straw Hat Pirates.
York’s betrayal cuts deep, but the real shock is Luffy’s involvement in the situation. It is revealed with his usual chaotic flair that he is planning to trade York in a bid to escape the island.
3. Speculation of Episode 1124 of One Piece
With everything happening in Episode 1123, it feels like the world of One Piece is collapsing. Garp’s disappearance has everyone shaken, and the weird sea quakes from Lulusia’s destruction are making things worse. Then there’s York, her going from smug to sobbing after the Straw Hats capture her shows just how quickly things can turn.
Luffy using her as a hostage isn’t his usual style, but it shows he’s thinking ahead, maybe trying to buy time or find a smart way out. Still, with Kizaru and Saint Saturn closing in, it doesn’t look like they’ll get out of Egghead without a serious fight.
