One Piece chapter 1104 is sure to ignite immense excitement among fans, as the story has officially returned to Egghead Island. The flashback centered around Kuma and Bonney has concluded, and the battle on Egghead Island is still in full swing. This conflict has only just kicked off, and the anticipation for what comes next is bound to grow.
As Kuma arrives on Egghead Island to rescue Bonney and Saturn transforms into his demonic form, significant developments are on the horizon, particularly as Saturn confronts his father’s wrath. One Piece chapter 1104 promises to delve into these exciting events once the Jump break concludes.
Kuma Vs Saturn
One Piece chapter 1104 is poised to kick off by placing its primary focus on the intense clash between Kuma and Saturn. In the preceding chapter, Saturn had ruthlessly attempted to execute Bonney, even though she was just a child and could potentially be his own daughter. Without any hesitation, Saturn had made an attempt to harm her, going as far as trying to stab her. Fortunately, Kuma’s timely arrival on Egghead Island changed the course of events dramatically. With unwavering determination, Kuma charged through the crowd, swiftly incapacitating any marines in his path. His ultimate goal was to reach his daughter, Bonney, and protect her from the imminent firing squad.
As Saturn readied himself to carry out Bonney’s execution, Kuma intervened, shielding her with his own body and absorbing the full impact of the impending attack. Following Bonney’s rescue, Kuma redirected his formidable rage toward Saturn, preparing to unleash a devastating punch infused with Haki.
In the forthcoming chapter of One Piece, it’s almost certain that Kuma’s powerful punch will find its mark. The intense rage boiling within Kuma is a direct result of the hardships he endured because of Saturn’s actions. For Kuma, his love for Bonney transcends anything else, and he won’t hesitate to retaliate against anyone who dares to harm her. In the upcoming chapter, Kuma will unleash his fury on Saturn, potentially delivering a satisfying beating. However, it’s crucial for fans to remember that Saturn holds a significant advantage in terms of strength over Kuma and could easily overpower him if he chooses to do so.
While witnessing Kuma triumph over Saturn would undoubtedly be a thrilling sight for fans, it’s important to acknowledge that, in the larger context of the story, it isn’t Kuma’s primary responsibility to defeat Saturn, and he lacks the necessary capabilities to achieve that. In fact, Saturn is likely to inflict further injuries on Kuma, possibly pushing him to the brink of a near-death state.
Kuma’s Willpower
In One Piece chapter 1104, there is a likelihood of exploring Kuma’s current condition and mobility. Some speculate that Kuma may have the circuit, originally invented by Vegapunk for switching personalities, integrated within him. However, this theory, while plausible, may not align with Oda’s storytelling choices. Employing such a mechanism to switch off his personality raises several plot-related questions, including why Kuma didn’t utilize it earlier and why he remained a lifeless cyborg even after being rescued by the Revolutionary Army. It is more reasonable to assume that Kuma lacks this circuit within his body, and his presence on Egghead Island is solely attributed to his profound love for his daughter.
Despite the erasure of his willpower, Kuma’s deep love for Bonney remains so overpowering that it transcends all else. Fans have already witnessed a similar occurrence in the story when Victoria Cindry, under Moria’s control through his Devil Fruit power, managed to break free from the influence and display genuine emotions despite being deceased. While Kuma may be considered “dead,” his inner willpower persists and can overpower whatever erasure Vegapunk had imposed on him. In essence, he has been revived, all thanks to the immense love he holds for his daughter. This particular aspect of the story is likely to receive significant attention in One Piece chapter 1104.
Luffy’s Nika Transformation
One Piece chapter 1104 is expected to shed light on Luffy’s situation as well. In the preceding chapter, Luffy had pushed himself to the limit by utilizing Gear 5 for an extended period, leaving him immobilized and in need of sustenance to replenish his stamina before rejoining the battle. Surprisingly, an unknown entity came to Luffy’s aid by providing him with food, and this mysterious benefactor is likely to be a focal point in One Piece 1104.
There are two plausible candidates for the identity of this savior: Kizaru, the Marine Admiral with a soft spot for individuals like Bonney and Sentomaru, or Caribou, who has been absent for some time. Kizaru is a prime contender for assisting Luffy, driven by his desire to minimize collateral damage. While he may still harbor intentions against Vegapunk, he wouldn’t want Bonney and Sentomaru to perish, hence aiding Luffy to ensure their survival.
On the other hand, this enigmatic figure could turn out to be Caribou, motivated by his reluctance to meet his demise on the island and the necessity for him to play a role in this arc. Regardless of the identity of the person who provided food to Luffy, fans can anticipate his gradual recovery and his imminent return to the battle against Saturn.
Once Luffy regains his strength, he is expected to embrace the transformation into Nika and immediately engage in combat. The much-anticipated showdown between Luffy and Saturn is poised to be the highlight of this arc, offering fans an exciting development as the narrative unfolds. Luffy’s recovery is nearing completion and is likely to occur towards the conclusion of One Piece chapter 1104.
In the impending clash between Kuma and Saturn, Kuma is expected to face defeat due to his weakened state, potentially necessitating Luffy’s intervention to rescue him and Bonney. This pivotal moment will mark the commencement of the final battle in the Egghead Island arc, fulfilling fans’ high expectations.
As the Warrior of Liberation, Luffy cannot afford to fail this crucial test. Failure would result in the demise of everyone on Egghead Island, and the only escape route involves confronting one of the Five Elders. While this act may generate worldwide attention, it is a necessary step for Luffy to establish himself as Nika and demonstrate his commitment to challenging the oppression of the Celestial Dragons.
However, the story’s progression will be on hold for a considerable period as One Piece is scheduled for an extended hiatus due to the New Year holidays. Fans will have to endure a three-week wait until the release of the next chapter, One Piece chapter 1104, slated for January 21, 2024.
One Piece is accessible for official and free reading through Viz Media, Shonen Jump, and the Manga Plus app.
