As the chaos subsides in Kurohige’s hideout after the rescue mission of Koby, Eiichiro Oda shifts the storyline to Egghead Island in One Piece 1089. According to Teras our site, a big war that involves the four Yonkou will be unveiled in the Arc Egghead. The four Yonkou will form three factions, Luffy’s Straw Hat Pirates, Marshall D Teach’s Blackbeard Pirates, and the Red Hair Pirates and Buggy’s alliance. This alliance of Shanks and Buggy is predicted to aid Luffy in getting rid of Kurohige, who is the main antagonist in the Egghead Arc.
Eiichiro Oda crafted the Egghead Arc meticulously, as it is the beginning of One Piece’s Final Arc or Final Saga. In this arc, the main battle is the Battle Royale of the 4 Yonkou. Buggy and Shanks are expected to ally to defeat Kurohige. However, Luffy is not considered as part of their alliance. The reason, Shanks has made a special offer to Buggy to help him in the war against Marshall D Teach and his army. Oda is placating Shanks as a central figure in the war of the four Yonkou, with a twist in the storyline.
Shanks has promised something to Buggy. Also, he is indirectly helping Luffy to beat Kurohige. The plan is, Shanks sends Buggy to Egghead Island, where Kurohige is not in Beehive at present. Shanks originally thought Kurohige would appear in Wano Arc, but the shift of power in the One Piece universe has delayed it. The Egghead Arc will offer a vast opportunity for Shanks to defeat Kurohige. In the One Piece Egghead Arc, when the four Yonkou arrive at the Vegapunk base, the navy retreats and cancels their mission.
According to Gorosei Saturn, the war of the four Yonkou will benefit the World Government. Saturn plans to attack whoever wins the Egghead Arc. However, the rumor suggests that Saturn is not precise in this case as Kurohige will be the only one who will die in the end, while the other three Yonkou will strike the navy’s fleet. Luffy or Shanks are likely to be Saturn’s opponent, and Buggy is expected to be less involved once the Battle Royale of the four Yonkou ends.
Shanks promised the entire Poneglyph to Buggy, which he got after defeating Eustass Kid. Meanwhile, Kurohige is fighting Trafalgar Law, but there is no result yet. Shanks thinks Kurohige will win and take the Poneglyph from Law, so the only way to complete the copy is by beating Kurohige. Therefore, Shanks promises Buggy all the copies of the Poneglyph. However, this is part of Shanks’ plan, and nothing is certain in the One Piece universe until the official release of Eiichiro Oda.
In conclusion, the Egghead Arc in One Piece 1089 offers a compelling and exciting Battle Royale of the four Yonkou with a series of plot twists that are difficult to predict. Will Kurohige fall, or will he emerge as the victor with multiple devil fruits empowering him? Will Luffy succeed? All these questions will be answered as the storyline progresses towards the Final Arc of One Piece.
