Alright, so we have One Piece Chapter 1088 spoilers, and the first thing that we get as the plot point in the chapter is the title, “Last Lesson“, and just judging from the title, it seems like we are getting some bad news in this chapter. Along with that, we also find out that Koby uses a new attack, which is known as the “Honesty Impact”. From what I have been hearing, it is a phenomenal day to be a Koby fan, and I am going to put my stocks in this guy because I am going to believe in Koby.
If you went into this chapter thinking that Koby would have Conqueror Haki or an attack that mimics Garp’s Galaxy Impact to some extent, you would be considered a lunatic, but here we are.
If I had to take a wild guess, I am going to say that the “Last Lesson” that this title refers to is Koby mastering the Impact Attack. These are just the spoilers; these are just lines on paper, but what I am hearing from the people who have the actual chapter is it does seem like Koby has the Conqueror Haki behind it.
One Piece Chapter 1088 Spoilers
Another thing that I should remind you guys is that although Koby is using his new type of attack, and destroying some things around the Hachinosu, we are still not sure about the fact that he is the one who actually stopped Pizzaro’s Hand.
This is because, if you remember, the last chapter ended when Koby had his hands up in the air, and that is why it doesn’t look like he is about to show up again with a new Honesty Impact. Instead, it looks like he is waiting for something else here so that he can fix the situation, and then with a fast forward, we have Koby using the Honesty Impact on somebody.
However, it is absolutely insane, nonetheless, and if this is anywhere close to the Galaxy Impact of Garp, even if it is very less of what Garp can actually do, I feel like it just shows how much potential Koby has, concerning his age.
The youngest Admiral in the series is in their mid-40s, and Koby is only 18, and he is already pushing out the Honesty Impacts; pretty good to think about.
Kuzan Stabs Garp
Later in the chapter, we find out that Kuzan makes a sword with the help of his ice, and stabs Garp when he is surrounded by Blackbeard Pirates. This is very sad and poetic at the same time, this is where it gets mirrored with Marineford, where Akainu did 99 percent of the damage to Whitebeard, and then Blackbeard shows up in the very end and swoops up the last one percent.
This is what pretty much is happening with Kuzan. He did 99 percent of the fighting with Garp, and now the Blackbeard Pirates are all joining in for the fun.
With this, we find out that Garp laughs as his body is frozen; this was just like what happened to Saul. Here, we have to remember that Saul was laughing; one, because he was a member of the “D” Clan, just like Garp; but two, because he didn’t want to worry Robin.
In Addition to that, I assume that Koby is witnessing Garp’s “final moments” right now, and Garp doesn’t want to worry him, and that is probably why he is laughing. I mean, in the last chapter, where Garp gets stabbed because of Koby, Garp was like, “Hey Koby, don’t flatter yourself, it is me they wanted the entire time”.
The Potential Survival of Garp
This is why we can say that Garp very much doesn’t want to make his own people distraught about himself or feel lesser, and that is why he is going out with a bang. Again, I just want to remind you guys that these are just the initial spoilers, and as time goes on, more details will be released.
With that being said, at the end of the day, Garp does get frozen, and we even get a narrator box that says that the Legendary Hero, which means Garp, obviously, has disappeared on Hachinosu Island, and his fate is now unknown.
I have faith that Garp is still alive, I feel like that is kind of where everybody is at right now. We all kind of felt that Garp might lose this battle, but he survived because Garp is more useful alive than dead because we have to go back to what Blackbeard said.
Back in Chapter 1080, Blackbeard wanted to trade Koby so that he could become the King of Hachinosu. Koby didn’t work, and that is why the most likely scenario is that his next offer is going to be with Garp.
It will be pretty interesting to find out if the Navy will actually accept Blackbeard’s terms, I mean, Garp is the legendary hero; he is like a mentor to so many Marines. Of course, they will definitely want Garp back, but I don’t know if they will be jovial enough to accept this offer that Blackbeard has.
I feel like a war is brewing, and this could be the Focal Point of all. As far as I feel about this whole situation, I am okay with Garp losing, but I do hope that when the full summary is released, we see Garp show out more.
I was not expecting that the last chapter of Garp was his only showing, I wanna see what the legendary hero of the Marines is all about and see if he has more fight in him.
Why Did Kuzan Attacked Garp?
Now, let’s talk about Kuzan; I initially thought that Kuzan was going to be a member of SWORD, or maybe a Marine Spy, but as the chapter went on, I went crazy, because Kuzan is really in deep with the Blackbeard Pirates and I know I see some people saying that, Kuzan had frozen Garp and that is his way of helping Garp.
I can see that, like yeah freezing Garp makes it to where Garp doesn’t have to die right away but at the same time this was always Blackbeard’s end goal; Blackbeard always wanted a high-tier hostage, and that is why Kuzan, while he could be helping Garp by freezing him, you could also say that Kuzan is also helping Blackbeard.
So yeah, to me at least, Kuzan is a very interesting character, because I want to see what his real aspirations are, what is the end goal of Kuzan because we know that at the end of the day, he told Smoker that he is still a good guy, he is still him, he is working toward justice, just in a very twisted way.
Maybe, he came to the terms that the ends justify the means and that is why he had to strike down Garp in this chapter, but just hope it’s worth it for Kuzan and I hope he does have some Grand Plan, cooking up in the background.
In these last two chapters, we also find out the real powers of Kuzan. In the previous chapter, his punches were as strong as Garp’s, and his punches also might have omitted Conqueror Haki. In this chapter, he stabs Garp and then he freezes him, this means that Kuzan’s powers have no boundaries.
They are going insane this time around, and as the Kuzan’s stocks go up, Kizaru’s stocks go up, and so do Akainu’s stocks. In addition to that, Akainu is the one who even beat Kuzan, and that is why it is going to be very exciting to see what resides in Akainu.
At the same time, what does he say about Kizaru, heading to Egghead right now, ready to square off against Luffy and the boys? In my opinion, the craziest part about Kuzan beating Garp is not the fact that Garp has lost, it is the fact that Garp lost without needing to awaken Kizaru’s Logia.
A thousand and eighty-eight chapters and we still have not seen a Logia awakening, and I thought that this might be where it debuts against the Legendary Hero of the Marines, but no, we still don’t know what it looks like.
I am really curious to see what Oda is actually cooking in the background.
The Navy has finally arrived at Egghead
On the last page of the upcoming chapter, we find out that the Navy is finally at Egghead Island. This means that Kizaru, random captains Jaygarcia Saturn, and everyone have finally made it. This also means that we finally have some Straw Hats stuff in the upcoming chapters.
