One Piece1072 saw a shocking plot twist come towards the end and Stussy, one of the members of the CP0, took out Kaku with her powerful abilities in a single shot. She was then revealed to be the mysterious ally ofDr. Vegapunk on Egghead Island. From here onwards, things will only get more interesting and with Kuma and Bonney slowly unraveling their stories,One Piece1073 can only mean great things for the story moving forward.
One Piece 1073: Stussy’s True Allegiance
One Piece1073 will most likely open up with Stussy and Lucci talking about what just happened. As fans know already,Stussy has turned her back on the CP0and it is time for her to now trade blows with none other than Rob Lucci. With Kaku out of the way, taking on Lucci should not be too difficult for Stussy. However,it is the Seraphimswho pose danger to her at the moment. That said, with the Vegapunk clones around her, ordering around the Seraphims is going to be very easy and Stussy can actually handle Rob Lucci on her own. Fans will most likely get more of an insight into her character and how she came to be.One Piece1072 only gave fans a short glimpse of her being the first successful clone.
One Piece1073 could dive into this a bit more and reveal how this process came to be and how exactly Miss Buckingham Stussy developed a clone. Fans could also likely seea glimpse of the Rocks Pirateshere, which would be unexpected, however, with the way things have been going in this arc, nothing would surprise the fans anymore. All things considered, Stussy is now an ally of Dr. Vegapunk and, by extension, the Straw Hat Pirates.One Piece1073 will certainly add more depth to her character and that is something that she desperately needs as she appears to be a woman full of mysteries at the moment.
One Piece 1073: A Kuma Flashback
One Piece1072 gave fans a look intothe powers of Bartholomew Kumaand his past with Dr. Vegapunk. Vegapunk revealed to him that his Devil Fruit holds the power to remove intangible and inanimate things and give them form, of sorts. In other words, things such as pain, memories, and joy, among other things are actually touchable, thanks to Kuma’s power. Kuma then proceeded to remove his memories from his body and that’s how he slowly started losing his humanity and become the monster known as Pacifica that fans are well aware of. Fans also later got to see his memories being stored away on Egghead Island.

Bonney started approaching them and this could be huge forOne Piece1073. In the next chapter, Bonney could very well enter the sphere of Kuma’s memories and this could trigger a sequence of flashbacks about Kuma’s entire life and why he is the way he is right now. Bonney has been searching for answers regarding her father for quite a while now and she certainly deserves them. Along with her, the fans have also been waiting for answers regarding Bartholomew Kuma for quite some time. The next chapter could be pivotal and deliver on what fans have been waiting for since before the timeskip now.
One Piece 1073: Kizaru Arrives
Another interesting event that could happen inOne Piece1073 is the arrival of Admiral Kizaru on Egghead Island. Kizaru left for the island and has not been seen over the past few chapters. It would be the perfect time for him to make an appearance and stop the Straw Hat Pirates from leaving Egghead Island safely. Now that Rob Lucci is busy, thanks to Stussy, the Straw Hat Pirates would only need to deal with the Navy Fleet in an attempt to escape from the island.
While they certainly won’t do that in the very next chapter ofOne Piece, it is a possibility that Kizaru will start appearing on the horizon. In case that happens, fans will finally start waiting in anticipation for an incredible clash that could finally see an Admiral going all out against the newly emerging Yonko crew. With Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji all ready for action, it is time for an Admiral to finally face them in battle andOne Piece1073 could set up the foundation for that, which would certainly excite the fans.
Thankfully,One Piecewon’t be on any break in the coming week. According to Manga Plus,One Piece1073 will be released on June 15, 2025. As always, fans can read the chapter for free on the Manga Plus and the Shonen Jump app.
