One Piece: Luffy's Unexpected Ally Emerges from the Egghead Arc

Chapter 1109 of Eiichiro Oda's famous One Piece manga series was just released this weekend. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait a bit for the next chapter as there will be a break week.

Despite the disappointing news, Oda did leave fans with some exciting teasers and new developments to talk about. One of the most interesting recent developments in One Piece is Saint Jaygarcia Saturn's surprising summoning of the other Gorosei to Egghead Island.

Their goal appears to be finding and eliminating the source signal of Dr. Vegapunk's broadcast in order to prevent any sensitive information he plans to reveal from spreading worldwide.

But what's really got One Piece enthusiasts on edge is the news that main character Monkey D. Luffy is now tasked with facing off against all five members of the Gorosei solo.

Even with Sanji's return and the arrival of Dorry and Brogy, the group is still one member short in the numbers game. Fortunately, their ultimate ally is about to join the fight, and it's none other than the ancient robot that Luffy encountered at the beginning of the Egghead arc.

During the Egghead arc of One Piece, the ancient robot that Dr. Vegapunk couldn't bring back to life has started to awaken and respond to the Drums of Liberation, which are heard when Luffy transforms into Gear 5. It appears that the robot is somehow attracted to the Drums of Liberation, whether it is intentional or due to some unknown reason.

It is highly probable that the ancient robot, who has been absent from the scene for a while, will make his way towards Luffy and team up with him and the rest for the upcoming battle.

Furthermore, it is expected that the ancient robot will prove to be Luffy's most powerful ally in the upcoming battle as he was specifically created to combat the Gorosei's Devil Fruit abilities.

Dr. Vegapunk shared in One Piece's Egghead arc that an ancient robot showed up unexpectedly 200 years ago and tried to attack Mariejois. Although the robot didn't manage to cause any harm as it ran out of energy, its target selection raises some interesting questions given recent events.

It's intriguing to note that the ancient robot was reportedly built around 900 years ago, during the mysterious Void Century.

Likewise, it’s already confirmed that Luffy’s Mythical Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika Devil Fruit existed at the time.

That idea is reinforced by the robot's reactions to the Drums of Liberation, triggered when Luffy unlocks the true potential of his Fruit. It is plausible that the Gorosei also possessed Devil Fruits during that era, and the ancient robot was designed to detect and pursue their powers.

This could clarify why the robot launched an assault on Mariejois, although the reason behind this action remains unknown.

It is possible that the ancient robot's massive size was designed to match the enormous forms of the Gorosei's Devil Fruits. This suggests that the robot was created in the ancient history of One Piece specifically to counter the Gorosei's unique abilities, making it a powerful ally for Luffy in the upcoming battle.

Editor's P/S:

The upcoming battle between Luffy and the Gorosei promises to be epic, and the ancient robot's involvement adds an intriguing layer of mystery. The robot's connection to the Drums of Liberation and its history of targeting Mariejois suggest that it may have been designed to combat the powers of the Gorosei. This revelation raises questions about the ancient history of One Piece and the role of the Gorosei in that era.

However, there is still much that is unknown about the ancient robot. Its motivations, capabilities, and ultimate allegiance remain shrouded in secrecy. As the battle on Egghead Island unfolds, fans will eagerly anticipate the robot's arrival and its impact on the outcome of the conflict.
