Summary
As hopeless as the current situation inOne Piecemay seem, there is still one unexpected character who could be the Straw Hats' ticket to escaping Egghead Island.Jewelry Bonneyhas been at the center of the storm at Egghead ever since the beginning of the arc and her importance only grew when Vegapunk revealed he had givenBonney even more power than the Five Eldersby giving her the highest authority over the Pacifista. Incidentally, this power may end up playing a major role towards the end of the Egghead Arc.
Chapter #1115 ofOne Piecereveals that Saint Nusjuro has sliced the Labophase in half, releasing the Cipher Pol Agents and the Seraphim trapped inside. With the Pacifista all sliced up or frozen by Saint Nusjuro, the Five Elders regaining control over the Seraphim at this point in the story could destroy any chances of escaping Egghead.
However, there is a chance thatBonney may be able to command S-Bear, who could use his Paw-Paw abilities to help Luffy and the others escape, much like Kuma did at Sabaody. Even if the rest of the Seraphim are turned against them, the Giants may be able to hold off the Seraphim long enough for the Straw Hats to make their escape with S-Bear on their side.
One Piece Finally Fixes a Huge Plothole of the Egghead Arc
One Piece finally explains two of the Egghead Arc’s biggest mysteries including York’s betrayal and how Dr. Vegapunk also kept his plans secret.
Bonney’s Authority Over S-Bear Could Be the Key to Escaping Egghead
S-Bear May Be Able to Help While the Five Elders Are Distracted
When Vegapunk revealed Bonney had the highest authority over the Pacifista in chapter #1106, he specified the reason was to ensure she would never be harmed by anything that resembled her father. Logically, this could also apply to S-Bear, who is also seen in chapter #1115. Granted, all of the Seraphim on Egghead, including S-Bear, have been trapped in the sea-energybubbles created by Vegapunk’s Bubble Gunever since they were last seen in chapter #1090, which could throw a spanner in the works.
However, only S-Snake is seen still trapped in her bubble in chapter #1115 as she falls out of the Labophase, which means there is a chanceNusjuro’s attack could have conveniently freed S-Shark, S-Hawk, and S-Bear. Now that York has identified the location of the transmission snail, the Five Elders will be occupied with the Iron Giant and stopping Vegapunk’s broadcast before he reveals any more damninginformation about the Void Centuryor Joyboy. This could provide the perfect chance for the Straw Hats to escape if Bonney can get S-Bear to help them while the Giants keep S-Hawk and S-Shark busy.
Overall, all the pieces are seemingly falling into place to help theStraw Hats finally escape Egghead Island. It is unlikely that Bonney will be able to command the rest of the Seraphim as well, but the off-chance that she can command S-Bear might be enough to turn the tide in the Straw Hats' favor. As things currently stand inOne Piece,Luffy is yet to find a way to neutralize the Five Eldersand Bonney’s help might just see her become a permanent addition to the crew.
