The spoilers, which were officially released on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, delivered in some areas but left others shrouded in mystery.
While the issue seemingly confirmed the ending of the Egghead arc, it did not provide any concrete details regarding the Gorosei’s current situation.
Despite this, the spoilers revealed some critical information that has left fans eagerly awaiting the upcoming chapters.
One of the most significant revelations was Dr. Vegapunk’s full plan, as well as the moment he discovered York’s treachery.
The issue also provided an explanation for how Dr. Vegapunk had forgotten these crucial details before the events of the Egghead arc, making for a comprehensive and satisfying ending to this storyline.
Genius of Dr. Vegapunk: A Necessary Sacrifice
The spoilers for Chapter 1123 of “One Piece” begin with the cover story, continuing the narrative of Yamato’s pilgrimage across Wano.
In the eleventh volume, Denjiro is depicted punishing the children who had previously thrown rocks at Yamato by making them all share a meal together and encouraging them to become friends.
This wholesome moment is a brief respite before the story plunges back into the intense action on Egghead Island, where the majority of the Marines, including the Vice Admirals, have fainted.
S-Snake, still trapped inside a bubble, is seen attempting to wake those around her so they can continue their pursuit of Luffy and his crew.
Meanwhile, Gear 5 Luffy is shown expressing his gratitude to Emeth for his assistance, though the now-deceased robot does not respond.
Dorry and Brogy, standing nearby, comment on their inability to sense the presence of any enemies, speculating that the Conqueror’s Haki used by Emeth might be even stronger than that of Shanks.
As the chapter progresses, the Thousand Sunny and the Giant Warrior Pirates’ ship set sail together for Elbaf.
Onboard the Sunny, Bonney is seen in her true form, peacefully sleeping on top of her father, Kuma.

Zoro is shown relaxing on the ship, while Usopp tearfully greets Dorry and Brogy, clearly overwhelmed by the emotions of the moment.
Luffy, now back on the Sunny and in his wrinkled post-Gear 5 form, is seen resting his head on Nami’s lap.
Sanji, however, is depicted in a more somber mood. He is standing alone on the Giant Warrior Pirates’ ship, staring at Dr. Vegapunk’s lifeless body lying on a futon.
Sanji speaks to the corpse, expressing his discomfort with the events that have transpired.
He questions whether this is truly how Dr. Vegapunk wanted things to end, commenting on the sheer insanity of what he had heard during the broadcast.
It is at this point that a flashback to two weeks prior on Egghead Island begins.
Revelation of York’s Betrayal
The flashback reveals that Vegapunk Shaka was the first to notice a discrepancy in the data from the Mother Flame power plant, which he quickly shared with Dr. Vegapunk and Vegapunk Pythagoras.
Shaka notes that if this error is indeed a mistake, it is a very serious issue. Pythagoras then realizes that the data they have recorded is different from what they are currently observing.
Shaka responds by pointing out that the changes were cleverly hidden within “records,” presumably referring to Punk Records.
The three scientists reveals that the culprit must be one of them, with Dr. Vegapunk speculating that it might be Lilith.

Shaka adds that only the three of them have a perfect alibi, and that an enormous amount of energy has been stolen.
Faced with this realization, the trio decides to put their brains on “Stealth Mode” to avoid alerting the traitor that they have been discovered.
For a week, the trio investigates the situation, eventually leading Pythagoras to discover that York is the traitor.
He explains that York had uploaded fake memories to Punk Records and manipulated both the Transponder Snail videos and the Sea Beast Weapons.
Dr. Vegapunk reflects on the irony of using the emotion of “greed” to create a person, realizing that it was a mistake to do so.
As they listen to a recorded conversation between York and the Gorosei, Dr. Vegapunk begins to piece together the events that led to this betrayal.
World Government’s Sinister Motives
Dr. Vegapunk’s suspicions are further confirmed when he realizes that this is why Cipher Pol had been visiting them so frequently in recent times.
The elimination of the Lulusia Kingdom the following day only solidifies his fears.
After hearing about this tragic event, Dr. Vegapunk deduces that York had stolen a portion of the Mother Flame and handed it over to the World Government using a Sea Beast Weapon.
This leads him to the chilling ending that the World Government possesses an Ancient Weapon.
Faced with this knowledge, Shaka suggests that they capture York themselves, but Dr. Vegapunk believes it is too late.
York has already proven herself valuable to the World Government, and as a result, the rest of them will be killed for their knowledge of the Void Century.
Dr. Vegapunk urges them to prepare for the evacuation of Egghead’s inhabitants, emphasizing the importance of using the technology that Ohara did not have to broadcast their findings far and wide.
He laments the darkness that surrounds the truth, questioning the true nature of the World Government.
Dr. Vegapunk is determined not to let his death be in vain and stresses the importance of protecting the “Kumofuto” machine, which has the ability to create “island clouds.”
In a world that may soon be submerged, such technology will be indispensable.
A Desperate Plan Unfolds
Dr. Vegapunk then begins to modify Emeth’s body to house the Transmission Transponder Snail, a critical component of his plan.
One day, York discovers him working on this and asks what he is doing. Dr. Vegapunk lies, telling her that he is attempting to move Emeth using the Mother Flame.
York expresses her hope that this technology will be perfected soon, unaware that the imperfections in the Mother Flame are the trio’s only hope for survival.
Two days before the present timeline, the trio who uncovered York’s treachery recorded their findings. This explains why they were the only ones present in the video shown later.
However, to keep their plan and their discovery of York’s betrayal a secret, they erased their memories of the past two weeks.
Dr. Vegapunk emphasizes that this was a crucial step, as the disaster that would soon unfold was the key to their eventual victory.
When Dr. Vegapunk awakens after the memory erasure, he finds a note claiming that their research had been leaked to the World Government.
The note warns that they will soon be killed, but reassures Dr. Vegapunk that a countermeasure was prepared during the “two-week void” in his memory.
The note implores him to believe in himself and embrace his death, but just as it begins to reveal one final piece of information, it is abruptly cut off.
A Sacrificial Choice
The flashback then jumps ahead to the moment when Dr. Vegapunk, Sanji, Vegapunk Atlas, and Franky were traveling to the ground level of Egghead Island in Vegatank-08.
Dr. Vegapunk tells Sanji that he will not be returning to the upper levels and asks Sanji to leave him behind to die.
He explains that he feels his death will trigger something important, a crucial turning point in their fight against the World Government.
Sanji, however, is horrified at the thought and insists that Dr. Vegapunk’s death would cause an uproar, making it impossible for him to comply with the request.
As the issue returns to the present, Sanji is shown asking Dr. Vegapunk what is wrong, but the scene shifts to the celebratory atmosphere aboard the ships.
The Straw Hat Pirates and the Giant Warrior Pirates are both reveling in their victory and the prospect of finally reaching Elbaf.
Usopp, in particular, is ecstatic at the thought of arriving in the land of his dreams, a place he has longed to visit since the beginning of the series.
Amidst the celebration, Dr. Vegapunk’s words to Sanji continue to resonate. He expresses his hope that the Straw Hat crew will be the ones to find the titular treasure of the series.
The chapter ends on this poignant note, with the confirmation that there will be no break in the following week, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the continuation of this thrilling saga.
Complex Web of Intrigue
“One Piece” Chapter 1123 has undoubtedly left fans with much to ponder.
The intricate web of intrigue surrounding Dr. Vegapunk, York’s betrayal, and the World Government’s sinister motives has added new layers of complexity to the story.
The Egghead arc, which began as a seemingly straightforward narrative, has evolved into a multifaceted tale of deception, sacrifice, and the pursuit of knowledge.
Dr. Vegapunk’s genius is once again on full display, as he orchestrates a plan that hinges on his own death.
His willingness to sacrifice himself for the greater good is a testament to his character and his unwavering commitment to uncovering the truth.

Elbaf has been a long-standing mystery in the “One Piece’ universe, and its significance to the story is finally coming to light.
