The arc started with chapter 1058, and it looks like it might go on for a few more chapters. Already, the arc has been responsible for some of the biggest reveals in the entire series. As the Egghead Island arc continues, One Piece fans can expect to see even more new information.
This list focuses on the mysteries that have been unraveled so far in the arc.
8. Bonney’s Father
Jewelry Bonney is one of the members of the Worst Generation. She possesses an unnamed devil fruit that allows her to alter the age of anyone that she touches. Aside from a few details, there was almost no information available about Bonney.
Thankfully, this changed in the Egghead Island arc. At the beginning of the arc, she stated the reason behind her travels was to confront Vegapunk for what he did to her father. It wasn’t until much later that it was confirmed that Bonney’s father is Bartholomew Kuma, who was transformed into a mindless cyborg by Vegapunk.
7. Dragon and Vegapunk
Many fans speculated that Dr. Vegapunk might have ties with Monkey D. Dragon and the Revolutionary Army, and their suspicions were confirmed in the new arc. In a flashback, Vegapunk was seen on Ohara with Dragon.
The two talked about the horrors that transpired, which made Dragon rather emotional. Before the flashback ended, Dragon stated that he would form an army that would topple the World Government and bring peace throughout the world.
6. Saul Being Alive
The tragedy of Ohara is one of the most horrible events in the series. When the World Government got confirmation that the scholars had tried to read the Poneglyphs, they wasted no time in initiating a Buster Call.
During the Buster Call, Jaguar D. Saul was presumed to have died after being frozen by Aokiji. However, in the most recent arc, Vegapunk revealed that Saul was alive and well. Saul had even managed to save the books of the scholars, after which he moved to Elbaf. This was certainly one of the biggest revelations in the Egghead Island arc.
5. Origins of Devil Fruits
In an old SBS, when a fan asked Oda about the origin of devil fruits, the author answered that the truth would be revealed when a certain scientist made his debut in the series. Of course, by a certain scientist, Oda meant Dr. Vegapunk. So, when he finally appeared, fans were eager to learn more about these mysterious objects.
When Luffy was fighting Lucci, Vegapunk was in the Frontier Dome talking to the Straw Hats, where he revealed that the devil fruits are born out of the desires of humans. He also explained that because the devil fruits are considered unnatural, the sea rejects them and anyone who eats them.
4. Dr. Vegapunk
Dr. Vegapunk is undoubtedly the smartest character in the entire series. For a long time, Oda teased the fans by dropping his name in dialogues or showing his silhouette. However, he only revealed the genius scientist when the story reached Egghead Island.
Dr. Vegapunk’s design seems to be inspired by Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton. Vegapunk is also a devil fruit user, and he possesses the Nomi Nomi no Mi. It allows his brain to store all the information that he has learned throughout his life. In order to store all the information, Vegapunk’s brain and head keep on increasing in size.
3. New Devil Fruits of Blackbeard Pirates
The Blackbeard Pirates are one of the most feared pirate crews in the world. The crew is led by Blackbeard, who is one of the Yonko. After the time skip, it was revealed that the Blackbeard Pirates were hunting strong devil fruit users. Since they know how to steal the powers, it made sense for them to go after people with powerful devil fruits.
In the Egghead Island arc, the Blackbeard Pirates clashed against the Heart Pirates. During this battle, Oda disclosed the devil fruits of several members of the Blackbeard Pirates, namely, Jesus Burgess, Van Augur, Doc Q, and Stronger.
2. The Seraphim Are Introduced
The Shichibukai were one of the Three Great Forces that helped the Marines balance out the power of the Yonko. Originally, they had seven members, but as the series continued, their number decreased, and Luffy had a major role to play in their downfall. He exposed the multiple heinous crimes that they committed. With so many people against the Shichibukai, the system was finally dissolved.
This left a major hole, but the Marines were given the Seraphim by Dr. Vegapunk. The Seraphim are just as powerful but way more obedient than the Shichibukai. The Seraphim made their debut in the Egghead Island arc. These monsters are equipped with various strong abilities, which allow them to take down an entire army.
1. New Bounties
After the exploits of the Straw Hat Pirates came to light, the World Government had no choice but to issue new bounties for them. Luffy received a bounty of 3 billion berries, which is one of the highest in the series. The bounties of the other Straw Hats were revealed in the Egghead Island arc.
Oda decided to give fans something a bit extra, so he gave some screen time to the Cross Guild, an organization founded by Crocodile and Dracule Mihawk. Crocodile’s bounty was increased significantly, and it now stands at 1,965,000,000 berries. Meanwhile, Mihawk’s new bounty was confirmed to be 3,590,000,000 berries, which puts him below the likes of Blackbeard and Shanks.
