Unveiling the Shocking Twist in One Piece Chapter 1093: Discover the Fate of Sanji and Franky!

With the release of the initial scans of One Piece chapter 1093, numerous fans have begun speculating about the long-awaited action from the Blackbeard Pirates. It is widely known that they are stationed on Egghead Island, equipped with their own formidable ship, and it is believed that they are taking advantage of the current turmoil and using it to their advantage.

Furthermore, fans have theorized that Marshall D. Teach's crew may have successfully captured both Sanji and Franky. Catarina Devon, utilizing her exceptional Devil Fruit abilities, is suspected to have assumed the identities of the captured Straw Hat crew members. This elaborate plan is likely designed to approach Vegapunk and ultimately capture him.

Although similar subplots align with Eiichiro Oda's typical style in One Piece, a thorough examination reveals the theory to be clearly flawed in its conclusions. Continue reading to delve deeper.

Note: This article contains significant spoilers up to chapter 1093 of the One Piece manga.

After One Piece chapter 1093, a theory about Catarina Devon's alleged involvement in the most recent events went viral

Who is Catarina Devon in One Piece?

Shown in the One Piece anime (Image via Toei Animation, One Piece), Devon's post timeskip appearance reveals her ruthless nature. Known for her distinctive laughter "Murunfuffuffu", she is regarded as the merciless "Crescent Moon Hunter" who has taken the lives of numerous beautiful women and amassed their severed heads.

After being captured by the Navy and imprisoned in Impel Down, she became one of the Level 6 inmates who joined forces with the Blackbeard Pirates. This occurred after Marshall D. Teach successfully attacked the prison and recruited its cruel Head Jailer, Shiryu. Alongside Teach and the rest of the crew, Devon played a role in the latter stages of the Paramount War. It was during this time that the Blackbeard Pirates arrived to take advantage of a weakened Whitebeard and acquire the abilities of his Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Two years later, Teach, now one of the Four Emperors, sets sail for Amazon Lily with Devon and Vasco Shot. Teach's goal is to obtain Boa Hancock's Love-Love Fruit, while Devon has her sights on something even more macabre – she plans to decapitate Boa and flaunt her head as the prized centerpiece of her collection. #PirateGoals

Devon proved to be powerless against Boa, as she used the Love-Love Fruit to turn him into stone. Teach effortlessly overwhelmed Boa and even threatened to end her life. However, if he had acted upon his threat, Devon and Vasco would have remained petrified indefinitely.

Fortunately, the impasse was resolved with the unexpected arrival of "Dark King" Silvers Rayleigh, the former right-hand man of Gol D. Roger. Reluctant to engage in a battle with Rayleigh, Teach begrudgingly agreed to a compromise. It was agreed that Boa would restore Vasco and Devon to their original state, and in exchange, Teach would withdraw from Amazon Lily and refrain from bothering her any further.

Owing to a Mythical Zoan Fruit, the Dog-Dog Model: Nine Tailed Fox, Devon possesses the remarkable capability of shapeshifting. With this innate power, she can flawlessly morph into an exact replica of another individual. Devon cunningly employed this extraordinary talent to dupe Gecko Moria, assuming the guise of his subordinate Absalom. It is crucial to note that the Blackbeard Pirates had previously terminated Absalom.

What really happened in One Piece 1093, explained

In One Piece chapter 1093, an unexpected turn of events occurred as Sanji, Vegapunk, and Vegapunk Atlas embarked on a thrilling adventure aboard the incredible VegaTank. Their destination? The enigmatic and enticing Fabrio-phase, guarded by the notorious Egghead. Excitement filled the air as Sanji eagerly grasped the handles of the VegaTank, preparing to dive headfirst into the unknown. Little did he know, fate had something peculiar in store for our heroes.

Franky and his crewmate were seen performing the same action in the exact same position, making it seem as though they had instantly switched or were the same person. This sparked speculation among One Piece fans that the individual who took hold of the VegaTank was actually Catarina Devon, who had the ability to mimic the appearances of both Sanji and Franky through her Devil Fruit powers.

This theory is further supported by the fact that the Blackbeard Pirates divided themselves into three separate groups. One group launched an attack on the Heart Pirates on Winner Island, while another group remained stationed at Hachinosu, their hideout island. Lastly, the third group is located on a ship near Egghead.

Devon, not being part of either the first or second group, appears to be one of the officers dispatched to Egghead. Moreover, it is a widely recognized fact that Sanji frequently encounters difficulties when he is in the company of women.

Following Zeff's teachings, Sanji made a solemn vow to never harm or witness harm inflicted upon women, irrespective of the circumstances. However, this principled commitment has frequently landed him in difficulties, evident from his encounters with Black Maria and her subordinates in Wano, as well as Kalifa in Enies Lobby and Viola in Dressrosa.

Despite Sanji's superior fighting skills compared to Devon, he remains susceptible to falling into her trap. On the other hand, Franky does not face such concerns; however, it is likely that Devon has Lafitte as her escort, an individual who possesses greater power than the Straw Hat crew's cyborg and potentially even surpasses Sanji himself.

Teach may have assigned Devon and Lafitte, who possess valuable skills for covert operations, to retrieve Vegapunk or one of his clone bodies. The intention would be to manipulate them into serving his interests. In this scenario, it wouldn't be implausible for Devon to capture Sanji and Franky, assuming their identities to infiltrate Egghead's ranks.

However, this popular theory reveals its flaws. The manga clearly depicts Sanji obtaining the VegaTank, followed shortly by Franky doing the same. It would be illogical for Devon to approach Vegapunk disguised as Sanji, only to then swiftly transform into Franky in plain sight of everyone.

Such an occurrence would instantly expose her disguise, unveiling her as a shape-shifting imposter. Additionally, as Sanji seizes the VegaTank, one can clearly observe an empty seat next to Vegapunk Atlas; however, when Franky takes hold of the vehicle, there is someone occupying the seat beside Atlas.

Such a revelation! The hidden truth behind her shapeshifting abilities emerges, and the peculiar presence of two different individuals next to Vegapunk Atlas uncovers a perplexing mystery. 🤔 #ImposterRevealed #ShapeShiftersUnveiled

Sanji arrived at the VegaTank and took a seat next to Atlas, while Franky also joined them. The presence of Vegapunk Lilith next to Franky suggests that Franky is the genuine one, since Devon can only mimic one person at a time.

In the initial raw scans, it was harder to discern that Sanji had already entered the VegaTank when Franky grabbed it. However, with the high-quality scanlation, it becomes more evident. Consequently, this disproves any theories regarding Devon's role in the situation.

Sanji, Franky, Vegapunk, and Atlas faced a greater danger from Kizaru's laser attacks rather than worrying about their own shapeshifting abilities. Fortunately, Luffy came to their rescue just in time with his incredible Gear 5 transformation, redirecting Kizaru's assault.

Although it was not relevant to the events of One Piece chapter 1093, it is undeniable that Devon and the other officers of the Blackbeard Pirates present a genuine threat. They remain hidden, biding their time for the perfect opportunity to strike.
