Notably, the unseen death was that of Stussy, a Cipher Pol member who appeared to have perished in combat.

Sissy, accompanied by Rob Lucci and Kaku, made their way to Egghead Island, bringing along S-Bear. Their initial intention was to return the faulty S-Bear to scientist Vegapunk, but they secretly planned to eliminate him. Despite being surrounded by sea beasts, they utilized the power of S-Bear to gain entry into Egghead, where they began their operation aimed at eliminating Vegapunk’s followers.

Stussy managed to overpower Rob Lucci and Kaku unexpectedly, employing her special kairoseki lipstick to immobilize them both early in the arc. However, as the story progressed, she couldn’t maintain the deception any longer, and neither Lucci nor Kaku would easily let her off the hook. She understood the consequences of her actions, but due to a direct order, she had no choice but to comply. As time went on, fans observed her struggling with internal conflict, as she genuinely cared for her companions. In the end, Kaku cautioned her about Lucci not being lenient with her.

Stussy conceded to the hand of destiny and vowed to Vegapunk Edison that she would spend her days searching for the purpose and explanation behind her existence. This scene was undeniably intense and poignant in the chapter, leading readers to anticipate less of her appearance afterwards.

In chapter 1125, the Marines and Cipher Pol retreated with their remaining troops to their respective headquarters, having sustained heavy losses and a massive defeat. Crucially, they had to evacuate the Seraphim and Mark III, valuable assets, which were carefully loaded onto ships before setting sail for their destinations. Meanwhile, fans spotted Rob Lucci and Kaku boarding one of these vessels. When asked about Stussy, Lucci confirmed that she had perished in battle, suggesting that it was indeed Lucci who took her life.

I killed her! – Rob Lucci

Kaku had previously alerted Stussy that Rob Lucci might not forgive her and potentially harm or even kill her. It’s important to note that Lucci has a reputation as a ruthless killer, and he showed no remorse when he severely injured her earlier in the storyline. Additionally, during their conversation, Kaku concealed his face and seemed close to tears, suggesting deep emotions for a former ally. It seems clear that Kaku was deeply affected by Lucci’s words, and given the circumstances, it appears Stussy may have met her end already, possibly even losing her life.

For the CP0, this is a major loss, and that goes without saying. However, this is also a big loss for Vegapunk, given that now, he doesn’t have one of his biggest working assets with him. But, it needn’t be that way. While fans are told that Stussy is dead, it doesn’t necessarily mean that she is gone for good. For one, fans should remember that her death was not shown to them on screen. Usually, Oda kills characters on screen, or, at the very least, even if they are off-screened, the deaths are still heavily implied in the same chapter. This is a very unique case, where Oda showed the character alive and well, and on the next page, declared them essentially dead. There is every reason for the fans to believe that Stussy might not be dead after all, and that she has a bigger thing to tend to.

Is Stussy Truly Dead?

Stussy Will Likely Be Revealed As Alive Later In One Piece

The question of whether Stussy is dead or not is quite an interesting one. Oda could take the easy route here and essentially confirm that she’s dead forever, or, he is going to take the clever out here, and that is to confirm that Stussy is actually alive. In fact, it makes more sense for her to be alive than dead. Of course, Rob Lucci would most likely not forgive her, but there are two characters there, and Kaku is one of them. Stussy was the one who saved Kaku from certain death, and there is absolutely no way that he wouldn’t make a case for her against Lucci. At the same time, fans also know that Stussy considered them to be her comrades, and, deep down, she did show care for them, which is why she freed Kaku in the first place. It was not easy for her to betray her own comrades, but she did.

Simultaneously, Vegapunk issued a significant directive to Stussy – to persevere in life and uncover purpose for it. Moved by this command, Stussy’s eyes brimmed with tears, and viewers can be confident that this development won’t be overlooked. Readers may take comfort in knowing that, contrary to Rob Lucci’s words, Stussy is indeed still alive.

Regarding her current location, fans remain clueless. It’s speculated that Lucci may have helped Stussy disappear, giving her a chance to find purpose in her life. At some point, it’s likely that Stussy will reappear, making the story all the more intriguing as we wonder how she’ll regain significance and what part she’ll play in One Piece moving forward.
