Chapter 1073

After flooring Kaku, Stussy turns on Lucci and drops him too, exposing herself as a spy who has answered to Vegapunk all along. With Zoro holding off S-Hawk, the satellites Edison and Lilith manage to recover command of the Seraphim and order them to power down. On Sphinx, Marco returns to discover that Marines tried to seize Whitebeard's fortune during his absence, only for Weevil to drive them off before Ryokugyu hauled him away. The original Buckingham Stussy, now called Miss Buckin, asks Marco to bring Weevil home. Far off at Egghead, the Five Elder Jaygarcia Saturn confers with Kizaru about the doctor.

Stussy uses a Kami-e variation to slip past Lucci, jabs a Seastone-tipped lipstick into his neck to block his transformation, then bites him unconscious. She reveals to Shaka that she has operated as Vegapunk's mole inside Cipher Pol for roughly twenty years and was the contact he reached out to earlier. Edison and Lilith reclaim the Seraphim, halting their assault on the Labophase. On Sphinx, the captured island learns that Marine Captain Ratel led the raid before Weevil routed him; Buckin, herself a former Rocks Pirate and ex-MADS scientist, claims only Vegapunk can prove Weevil is Whitebeard's son.

The chapter confirms one of the long-hidden Five Elders as Jaygarcia Saturn, who admits he met Vegapunk in the distant past and laments the current situation. Shaka invites Stussy to travel with the satellites and the Straw Hats, and she agrees. Luffy and Chopper continue roaming the lab hunting for Bonney and the doctor. The cover serial continues with Germa 66's emotionless excursion, where Vegapunk debuts a peaceful invention honored with the Ibel Peace Prize.
