One Piece Episode 1154 Recap

Before we witness the finale, let us briefly recap Episode 1154. We learn what happened behind Dr. Vegapunk’s global broadcast. Two weeks before the current siege, Stella, Shaka, and Pythagoras all noted an abnormality: a portion of the Mother Flame had been stolen. Vegapunk suspected Lilith due to her “evil” designation, but the trio went into stealth mode to catch the real traitor.

They found out that it was York who had betrayed them to the Five Elders. She had synced fake data and used Sea Beast Weapons to smuggle the Mother Flame, all in order to ensure her safety and become a Celestial Dragon.

Finding themselves out of options, Vegapunk recorded his message to the world, which would be released upon his heart stopping. He sent the broadcast Den Den Mushi inside the Iron Giant, knowing full well that York would never check there. He then erased the memories of the plan from himself and his satellites to keep the secret truly safe.

In the current timeline, Luffy thanked the Iron Giant, Emet, for his sacrifice. As the crew prepared to leave, Sanji shared a moment of silence with Vegapunk’s body, stating that his words sounded wrong, without him knowing that Vegapunk stayed behind on purpose to trigger the truth.

What will happen in One Piece Episode 1155?

The next episode addresses the very aftermath of the Egghead Incident. Big News Morgans is shown rejoicing at the chaos. He intends to instill fear and despair into the minds of the general public, telling Vivi that news sells because he is the only one providing it. 

While Wapol tries to diffuse the situation, Vivi stands her ground and reprimands Morgans for lying. The bird reporter does not pay any heed, instead threatening to publish headlines claiming Luffy killed Vegapunk himself or highlighting battles like Shanks vs. Kid.

With Egghead in shambles, the Marines are cleaning up the pieces. Meanwhile, Sentomaru is shown fleeing using a rowing boat, while an emotional scene ensues between the Admirals.

Sakazuki calls Kizaru to demand a report of the events, asking him if he messed it up. Kizaru breaks down crying. In anger, he asks Sakazuki if he has ever killed a close friend, citing his long friendship with Vegapunk. He invites the Fleet Admiral to come see for himself what happened.

Meanwhile, aboard the Great Ship of the Giants, the mood is mixed. Franky and Jinbe discuss how miraculous their escape was against such overwhelming odds, including the Five Elders and the Seraphim. 

Zoro mocks Luffy for being depressed because of his failure to save Vegapunk, but then Lilith wakes up and completely shocks them. After eating, she explains to them that in a conceptual sense, the other satellites are still alive. That is, Luffy didn’t fail completely. 

This news revives Luffy’s spirit as he declares he will be the Pirate King, and the ship sails toward Elbaph, where a mysterious figure is waiting upon their arrival.
