Chapter 1076

Despite the friction, Luffy grudgingly unlocks Lucci and Kaku so they can take on the Seraphim. Elsewhere in the lab, the real Vegapunk sits imprisoned, baffled by the events unfolding around him and by how the government learned of his Poneglyph studies. On Elbaph, the Red Hair Pirates welcome the reunited Giant Warrior Pirates, then march on the Kid Pirates to demand their Road Poneglyph rubbings, daring them into a fight.

Zoro identifies S-Hawk's flying slash as the power of the Supa Supa no Mi once wielded by Daz Bonez. After Shaka admits the agents' orders are to terminate the doctor, his satellites, and the traitorous Stussy, Luffy accepts the keys and frees the pair. Luffy goes Gear 4 Boundman beside Lucci's leopard hybrid form to strike S-Bear, while Zoro and Kaku team against S-Hawk. The chapter reveals that captured CP5, CP7, and CP8 agents have been jailed for two months by the Sea Beast weapons, with the doctor himself locked up among them. The government dispatches roughly a hundred ships from branch G-9 toward Egghead.

On Elbaph, Shanks turns down a hot-headed boy who begs to join his crew, an echo of his first meeting with Luffy. His revived old friends are Dorry and Brogy, the former Little Garden captains who have returned to their homeland. Shanks orders Rockstar to challenge Kid to surrender his Poneglyph copy or fight, while Killer warns that their last clash with Shanks was utterly one-sided. The chapter's bonus material notes Shanks's bar scene deliberately mirrors the franchise's very first chapter.
