One Piece recently went on hiatus as the series' author, Eiichiro Oda, underwent surgery to correct his astigmatism. While the story rarely takes extended breaks, this one was absolutely necessary for Oda's eyesight preservation and also to allow him some well-deserved rest.
Several weeks have already passed since the release of One Piece chapter 1086, and fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming chapter 1087. There are numerous exciting events set to occur in the next installment, and fans can hardly contain their excitement for Oda's eventual return to Shonen Jump.
One Piece 1087: The Revolutionary Army And The Gorosei
Upon the series' return, fans will have the opportunity to witness the Revolutionary Army addressing a crucial aspect. Recent chapters have predominantly focused on their narrative. Sabo, having reunited with the Revolutionary Army, has shared the events that unfolded on the Holy Land of Marijoa during the Reverie. As previously mentioned, Dragon has initiated his war, laying siege to Marijoa and causing the Revolutionary Army to destroy every food cart headed towards the Holy Land. Consequently, the World Government will soon descend from Marijoa and take further action.
In One Piece chapter 1087, Ivankov anticipates the Holy Knights' response, which may serve as the main focus. Fans were already introduced to Garling Figarland in One Piece 1086, and now it is possible that he and the rest of the Holy Knights will engage in combat against the Revolutionary Army. This will allow fans to witness the abilities of both sides, with the Holy Knights showcasing their skills alongside the powerful members of the Revolutionary Army. Considering his declaration as the champion of God Valley, Garling Figarland appears to be an exceptionally formidable individual. Fans have high expectations for this character, and One Piece 1087 could potentially delve more into his story.
The Return Of The Straw Hat Pirates
Fans are eagerly anticipating the appearance of the Straw Hat Pirates in One Piece 1087. Despite their absence from the manga for several months, fans are still deeply attached to this central pirate crew. While fans appreciate the vastness of the One Piece world and its ability to hold their interest even when the focus temporarily shifts elsewhere, they undeniably miss the beloved Straw Hat Pirates. Currently located on Egghead Island, they find themselves in a challenging situation as they strive to rescue Dr. Vegapunk and escape without harm.
Unfortunately, their efforts thus far have been met with difficulty, and it seems they will encounter further obstacles while attempting to leave the island. At present, Vegapunk and the Straw Hat Pirates find themselves relatively secure, having joined forces with members of the CP0. However, their situation is set to worsen rapidly when Kizaru, one of the formidable Navy Admirals, arrives with a fleet of 100 ships. To compound matters, accompanying Kizaru is Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, a member of the Five Elders known for his immense power. It is highly likely that the 100 battleships will also be manned by numerous formidable Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals.
Facing and defeating them in combat is going to be a daunting task for the Straw Hat Pirates. The anticipated war on Egghead Island has been named the Egghead Incident by Oda. It will be fascinating to see what One Piece 1087 has in store for us regarding this highly anticipated event.
The Emergence Of The Blackbeard Pirates
Another sighting of a ship belonging to the notorious Blackbeard Pirates has been reported, heading towards Egghead Island. The identity of the crew members aboard remains a mystery, ruling out Blackbeard himself who is entangled in a confrontation with Trafalgar Law on Winner Island. Speculations indicate that the ship could be manned by Katarina Devon and Lafitte, as the majority of the crew is known to be stationed on the Pirate Island of Fullaled. This deduction suggests that the only plausible explanation for the Blackbeard ship's voyage to Egghead Island is the presence of these two missing members.
Vegapunk's Dilemma
These two characters are poised to make an appearance soon on Egghead Island, shaping the story in a significant way. Fans are already aware of their extraordinary powers, and what's more, their Devil Fruits possess an intricate nature. Katarina Devon, with her Mythical Zoan powers, can effortlessly assume the guise of anyone, while Lafitte's enigmatic abilities allow him to hypnotize individuals. The menacing presence of the Blackbeard Pirates is bound to exacerbate matters for the Straw Hat Pirates, and it will be captivating to witness how Luffy, the latest Yonko member, will confront them.
In One Piece chapter 1087, fans can anticipate incredible revelations about Dr. Vegapunk. Currently, Vegapunk holds great significance and the arc's objective revolves around rescuing him. At present, Vegapunk is held captive and York's aim is to eliminate all other Vegapunks individually, in order to attain the status of a Celestial Dragon. York's ambition, however, cannot be allowed to materialize as it would jeopardize the Straw Hat Pirates' mission. It is now imperative for Nico Robin and her comrades to locate Dr. Vegapunk and endeavor to save him. The death of Vegapunk would result in humanity losing invaluable information contained in the Punk Records, rendering it an outcome that must not be permitted under any circumstance.
The Straw Hat Grand Fleet's Role on Egghead Island
The Straw Hat Pirates can count on assistance from the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. While not all members may reach Egghead Island, there are certainly some who can. This is especially true since Oda hinted that the Grand Fleet will continue to grow stronger until a significant event occurs. Oda recently teased the Egghead Incident once again, possibly referring to the day at the end of the Dressrosa arc. If that is the case, it is time for the Grand Fleet to join the fight against the Navy and the World Government.
Fans eagerly await the return of One Piece. With two weeks left for the story's comeback, fans anticipate that the events on Egghead Island will dominate the upcoming chapters. The world of One Piece is more chaotic than ever, with Oda promising major incidents in the Final Saga. Oda compared the Final Saga to a battle royale, ensuring that fans are in for an exciting journey.
One Piece 1087 returns to the Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine on July 16, 2023. As always, fans can read the chapter for free on the Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump app.
