Drama On Egghead
One Piece1073 started off right from where the previous one left off and fans got to see action betweenthe likes of Rob Lucciand Stussy. Lucci naturally didn’t take the betrayal well and attacked her immediately after, only to be fooled by her advanced Kami-E arts.

Once again, fans got to see an incredible display of her abilities and an idea of how dangerous she truly is.
Stussy successfully completed her mission to help Dr. Vegapunk. Stopping the Seraphims, however, required her to have a higher authority than Lucci, which she doesn’t possess. As such, the Vegapunk clones had to step in and take control of them. Shortly afterwards, the Straw Hat Pirates invited Stussy andher group of Seraphimsaboard the ship which is about to sail soon. However, mysteriously, Dr. Vegapunk himself appears to have disappeared from the island. Where exactly he is at the moment isn’t known to the fans, however, it will most likely be revealed very soon. The last time fans saw him was when he and Bonney were in front of Kuma’s memories.
The Case Of Edward Weevil
While Egghead Island was the main focus of the chapter, Oda also focused a bit on Edward Weevil, one of the former Warlords of the Sea. This was an unexpected turn in the arc as fans did not expect him to show up anytime soon. In this week’s chapter, Oda revealed that Edward weevil Indeed came to Sphinx Island in search of Whitebeard’s treasure. He intended for Marco to reveal where the treasure was to him. However, when he saw the Navy attack Whitebeard’s hometown, he decided to protect his father’s homeland. Somehow, Admiral Aramaki showed up on the island and captured Weevil.

Miss Bucking was left alone on the island she was seen inOne Piece1073 with Marco. She pleaded for him to help her son who she claims to be the very own child of Whitebeard. While the legitimacy of this claim is questionable, Miss Bucking claimed that Dr. Vegapunk can confirm to everyone that Weevil is indeed the son of Whitebeard.
