As the Egghead arc of One Piece moves towards its incredibly exciting conclusion, fans are eagerly awaiting the idea of ​​how the end of this latest arc will play out, given current events. With a three-week break before the release of the next chapter , the time is ideal to theorize and discuss the surprises that the sequel has in store for us.

Dr. Vegapunk’s message appears ready to reveal truths about the Forgotten Century to the citizens of the world of One Piece. This information, potentially new and exciting for fans, focuses most of their attention on this ongoing storyline.

Unlikely confrontations?

Another predominant topic of conversation among One Piece fans is the showdowns they expect to see between the Five Elders and the Straw Hat Pirates to conclude the arc. However, it is unlikely that the Straw Hat Pirates and members of the Five Elders will fight in what remains of the Egghead arc, given the goals set for the Straw Hat Pirates thus far.

The main objective: escape with Vegapunk

Throughout the Egghead arc of One Piece, it has been heavily emphasized that the main goal of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew is to escape with Dr. Vegapunk and his Satellites . Although Dr. Vegapunk’s status is in question and some of the Satellites have tragically disappeared, their purpose nonetheless remains unchanged.

The crew is currently in full retreat, with each group making their way to the rendezvous point. In some cases, they literally avoided a fight with or specifically dodged a confrontation with members of the Five Elders in order to prioritize their escape from Egghead Island.

No benefit from confrontation

Furthermore, the Straw Hat Pirates have nothing to immediately gain from defeating a member of the Five Elders on Egghead Island. Luffy might even be upset about being spoiled on aspects of the series’ titular treasure . This opinion and feeling of his is well documented, both in the main series and in the supplemental material.

More likely than not, the Egghead arc ends without any clashes between the Straw Hat Pirates and the Five Elders , instead hinting at some clashes for the future as the arc concludes. Fortunately, with the series in its Final Saga, fans can expect these confrontations to take place
