The post contains spoilers for One Piece.

Summary

  • Second Buster Call near Egghead Island will pose a greater threat to the already exhausted Straw Hat crew.
  • The Grand Fleet or Monkey D. Dragon might intervene to aid the Straw Hats in escaping the imminent attack.
  • The upcoming battles against Admiral Kizaru and the Marines will test the Straw Hats’ survival skills.

Setting sail from the lands of Wano, little did I, a Straw Hat Pirate, foresee our unexpected voyage to Egghead Island, the very domain of Dr. Vegapunk himself! Unimaginable as it was, I never thought we would find ourselves in such a predicament: the genius scientist pleading for our assistance in his escape!

Not long after touching down on the isle, the Straw Hats delved into its mysteries, undeniably captivated by the high-tech inventions churned out by Dr. Vegapunk and his orbiting satellites. Yet, their sightseeing was abruptly halted upon the arrival of CP0, a group tasked with retrieving S-Bear back to the island and eliminating Dr. Vegapunk.

Somehow, the Straw Hat pirates managed to withstand CP0’s assault. Afterwards, they found themselves up against the Seraphim and York. Remarkably, the Straw Hats emerged victorious once more, but it seems their fortunes may be dwindling. In the latest episodes of One Piece, Admiral Kizaru and several other Vice Admirals have been spotted near Egghead Island. It’s evident that they’re preparing for an attack, so the question remains: can the Straw Hats endure this onslaught?

The Second Buster Call Will Be More Dangerous

The large number of potent Marines congregating around the island can only imply one scenario— it’s about to become a Buster Call situation. However, this isn’t their first encounter with such a formidable tactic. The Straw Hats experienced a Buster Call for the very first time within Enies Lobby, due to Spandam’s actions.

He wasn’t happy about the Straw Hats escaping the location unharmed after foiling his attempt to obtain Pluton’s blueprints and Nico Robin. In that moment, the Straw Hats were exhausted from their battle with CP9 members, but they found a way to persevere, receiving aid from others along the way.

The Straw Hat Pirates Will Face Stronger Opponents

Man, the state of affairs on Egghead Island is nothing short of intense! After a grueling series of battles against Rob Lucci, Kaku, and the Seraphim, I can only imagine how drained the Straw Hats must be. The intensity of those fights alone surely took its toll on their bodies, leaving them less equipped to deal with their remaining foes.

Notably, Rob Lucci has managed to break free, and he’s now squaring off against Roronoa Zoro. Meanwhile, Admiral Kizaru, the main threat, is set to engage in a showdown with Monkey D. Luffy. It’s been reported that Kizaru exploited a weakness in the island’s security using his Devil Fruit abilities – so buckle up, folks, because things are about to get real!

After his arrival, Kizaru pursued Sentomaru. Despite having a long history together, their past did not hinder them from engaging in an exhilarating battle. Confident in his defensive skills, Sentomaru thought he could withstand Kizaru. However, it turned out that his belief was misplaced. The Admiral’s Devil Fruit power and superior Haki successfully breached Sentomaru’s defenses. Next, Kizaru is set to confront Luffy, who seeks revenge from their previous encounters.

Surrender, Straw Hat. —Kizaru to Luffy

If Kizaru gets defeated in the battle, it seems quite possible that Commander Jaygarcia Saturn may trigger a Buster Call operation aimed at wiping out all life on the island. Given the Marines’ superior numbers, this task might not seem insurmountable. However, with the Straw Hats finding themselves in a tight spot, they may need assistance from other individuals to help them flee the island safely.

Who Could Come To The Aid Of The Straw Hats?

  • The Straw Hat Grand Fleet Might Help The Heroes
  • Monkey D. Dragon Could Make An Appearance

It seems most likely that the powerful Straw Hat Grand Fleet could arrive to aid the crew in their escape from the island. Since they last assisted the Straw Hats during the events of Dressrosa, this situation presents an ideal opportunity for them to do so again. This would not only help the Straw Hat crew, but also demonstrate the significant growth and strength of the Grand Fleet.

Beyond the Grand Fleet, there’s a strong possibility that Monkey D. Dragon might step into the fray, not just for Luffy but also for Vegapunk, an old acquaintance who I believe has grown quite close to him over the years. So, as a member of the Revolutionary Army, it seems only fitting that I could seize this opportunity to lend a hand to both my friend and son. Regardless of whose side we’re on, one thing is certain: fans are in for an exhilarating climax as the story unfolds!
