Bartholomew Kuma's unexpected arrival at Egghead Island and his apparent plan to battle Saint Jaygarcia Saturn in the previous issue has left fans eagerly anticipating One Piece chapter 1104. Devoted readers of Eiichiro Oda's manga series are scouring the internet for reliable spoilers on the upcoming release.
However, the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is currently on a publication break, so there are no verifiable spoilers available at this time. It is uncertain whether these leaks will surface later in the break week or during the actual release week of One Piece chapter 1104.
One Piece chapter 1104 likely to see Kuma deal with Saturn via his Paw-Paw Fruit rather than fighting him
Thankfully, there are specific elements and advancements in One Piece chapter 1104 that fans can expect to see, even without verified spoilers. However, the potential events may not align with fans' hopes, particularly regarding the anticipated conflict between Kuma and Saturn.
Major spoilers to expect
Chapter 1104 of One Piece is expected to continue with Kuma's attack on Saturn, possibly transitioning from a punch to an open-hand strike using his Paw-Paw Fruit powers to send Saturn off of Egghead Island. While some may find this to be an anticlimactic conclusion for Saturn's role in the Egghead arc, it is a logical narrative decision given Saturn's abilities. By teleporting Saturn away from Egghead Island, Kuma effectively removes the lifelong troublemaker and allows for a heartfelt reunion and farewell with Bonney before Saturn's potential demise.
This also enables Kuma to finally encounter and verify Nika's existence in One Piece chapter 1104 now that Luffy would be capable of moving and fighting again, particularly after just having eaten. Considering the narrative importance such a development would provide to the resolution of Kuma's story, it appears to be the most sensible and probable choice for Oda to make.
However, it is expected that the upcoming release will only result in Saturn being sent away, with Luffy's return to the battlefield saved for a future issue. This will allow the focus of the upcoming release to be primarily on Bonney and Kuma's reunion, as well as showcasing the other Straw Hats handling the nearby Marines, aside from Luffy, to give Bonney and Kuma the opportunity to reunite.
One Piece chapter 1104 is also expected to provide updates on the Straw Hats who are not with Saint Saturn in the island's center. It is likely that Jinbe and Zoro will be the main focuses, as Jinbe prepares the Thousand Sunny for escape and Zoro fights Rob Lucci. Jinbe will likely report that the Thousand Sunny is ready to leave at any time, while Zoro will likely be shown defeating Rob Lucci in a final blow.
Watch for Luffy’s return to the battlefield in the next issue or at the very end of the upcoming release. It's possible that chapter 1104 will conclude with Kuma, Dr. Vegapunk, Kizaru, and Bonney finally reuniting, as they are all currently in the same area.

Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am eagerly anticipating the release of One Piece chapter 1104. The unexpected arrival of Bartholomew Kuma at Egghead Island and his apparent plan to battle Saint Jaygarcia Saturn has left me on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to see how this confrontation unfolds and what other surprises Eiichiro Oda has in store for us.
I am particularly interested in seeing how Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit powers will be used in the battle against Saturn. Kuma's abilities have always been intriguing, and I am excited to see how they will be utilized in this high-stakes confrontation. I also hope that we will get to see more of Bonney's backstory and her relationship with Kuma. The reunion between these two characters is sure to be emotional, and I can't wait to see how it plays out.
