Episode 1097

Short Summary[]

Shaka tells Sanji's group about how the giants saved Ohara's books 22 years ago when Dr. Vegapunk met up with Dragon. He also confirms to Robin the identity of their leader. At the scrapyard, Bonney attempts to kill Vegapunk. Meanwhile, a masked assassin approaches Egghead.

Long Summary[]

Shaka continues explaining his visit to Ohara. When Vegapunk visited the island to pay respects, he discovered giants fishing the books out of the lake. Though Vegapunk was initially concerned with the giants’ intentions, Monkey D. Dragon appeared and explained that the giants intended to transport the books to Elbaph to withhold them from the World Government. Vegapunk then travelled to Elbaph to read the books, gaining knowledge from the scholars that the World Government attempted to suppress. The Ohara Incident also led Dragon, a friend of Clover, to later form the Revolutionary Army, joining forces with Emporio Ivankov and Bartholomew Kuma. Finishing his story, Shaka confirms to Robin that the leader of the giants was Saul, the same person who saved Robin from the Buster Call. Shaka then leads the Straw Hats to the security room.

Meanwhile, Luffy’s group questions Vegapunk, who is known for his balloon-like head but currently wears only an apple-shaped cap in its place. Vegapunk explains he ate the Nomi Nomi no Mi, making him a “Brain Human” and allowing him to absorb nigh-infinite amounts of knowledge. However, as he learned more, his brain grew as a result, becoming inefficiently large. So, he detached his brain and replaced it with an antenna. The still-expanding brain, dubbed the “Punk Records,” is the giant egg floating above the island, and remotely connects to Vegapunk’s body via the antenna. Furthermore, Vegapunk split his personality into six different satellites (Shaka, Lilith, Edison, Pythagoras, Atlas and York), which use the same brain but serve different purposes.

Bonney suddenly attacks Vegapunk, wielding a beam saber and demanding justice for her father. However, the beam’s light attracts a swarm of insects, which causes Bonney to faint in shock as Shaka’s group watches via surveillance footage. Vegapunk deems the saber a failed invention for its tendency to attract such insects.

Vegapunk explains that Momonosuke’s Devil Fruit was also a failed experiment. He created an artificial Devil Fruit intended to replicate Kaidou’s Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu, which was later accidentally eaten by Momonosuke. Despite granting all the abilities the original fruit provided, the fruit was deemed a failure based on colour alone, as the eater became a pink dragon instead of an azure one.

Luffy questions Vegapunk about the robot, but Vegapunk explains that the legendary Iron Giant is not one of his inventions. Instead, it was created two hundred years prior and attacked Mary Geoise.

In the distance, a masked assassin accompanied by a pigeon approaches Egghead, tasked with eliminating Vegapunk.
