Zoro and CP0 agent Lucci are gearing up for an intense battle following recent events on Egghead.

As we move into a critical phase of the Egghead storyline in One Piece anime, tension is high. The Navy’s fleet hovers ominously near the island, leaving the Straw Hat Pirates in a precarious situation. This time around, they must confront the fury of an Admiral.

So far, our heroes have been commendable in shielding Dr. Vegapunk, but they’ll need to intensify their guard as a fresh danger arises. In the final moments of One Piece Episode 1125, viewers witnessed Luffy engaging Kizaru. Eager to demonstrate his advancements, Luffy was determined to impress the Admiral with his improved skills.

Kizaru Is A Man On A Mission

Following their encounter on land, Kizaru found himself squaring off against a longtime companion, Sentomaru. It was disheartening to witness this battle, considering the nostalgic moments from Sentomaru’s youth when he affectionately referred to Kizaru as ‘uncle.’ Despite the emotional turmoil, Kizaru was compelled by his responsibilities. After defeating Sentomaru, Kizaru made it clear that the Navy’s primary objectives were fourfold – these being the key points he had in mind.

Saving York from harm
Securing Punk Records
Finding the machine that creates Mother’s Flame
Exterminating Vegapunk

Previously within the same episode, Jaygarcia Saturn discussed the initial three goals. In fact, he expressed this sentiment to a Vice Admiral: consider all those on the island as disposable, much like insects.

Kizaru Vs. Luffy Will Be An Enthralling Fight

To achieve his objectives, Kizaru must initially defeat Luffy. However, Luffy is determined not to let the Admiral overpower him a second time. Memories of Kizaru’s actions towards him and his crew on Sabaody Archipelago still linger, so Luffy intends to return the favor to the Admiral.

That’s rude. —Kizaru

Luffy appears quite determined, to the point where it seems like he won’t stop until Kizaru is defeated. Everyone’s wondering if Luffy possesses the strength and skill needed to secure the win.

Luffy’s Strength Has Improved Drastically

Over a span of two years, Luffy diligently trained with Rayleigh, honing his strength. He mastered various forms of Haki and even developed Gear 4. With practice, Luffy’s proficiency in Haki skyrocketed. He acquired the ability to predict future attacks using Future Sight, allowing him to respond effectively. Luffy’s Armament Haki has been significantly upgraded, enabling him to harm opponents from inside. In the Wano Country storyline, he figured out how to incorporate Conqueror’s Haki into his assaults, making them far more powerful.

Beyond merely grasping Haki and its variations, Luffy has additionally honed his ability to employ his Devil Fruit. Notably, he has activated it, enabling him to use it with minimal disadvantages. In the Wano region, he discovered Gear 5, enhancing his combat agility.

Kizaru Is A Veteran Fighter

Luffy’s collection is quite formidable, but Kizaru isn’t shabby by any means. This Admiral holds the Pika Pika no Mi, a Devil Fruit of the Logia class, granting him command over light. Every attack he unleashes is fueled by this fruit, making them extremely potent. Spectators have already witnessed the destruction Kizaru’s lasers can cause, so avoiding them would be wise. Kizaru also wields both Armament and Observation Haki, and it’s likely that his proficiency in these skills is on par with Luffy’s. The blend of these abilities makes Kizaru a formidable adversary. With such skilled combatants involved, it’s clear that the ensuing battle promises to be spectacular.

There Is Another Fight Brewing On Egghead

A new confrontation is imminent, this time featuring Zoro and Lucci. After witnessing Kizaru subdue Sentomaru and seize command over the Pacifista, the CP0 agent found renewed vigor. In a close call, Lucci aimed to eliminate Dr. Vegapunk with a Finger Pistol shot, but Stussy intervened. This led Zoro to engage Lucci in battle, pushing their skirmish outside for freer combat. Both combatants are determined to come out on top, leaving no room for restraint.
