Summary
One Pieceis entering the final stages of the Egghead arc. It kicked off the final saga in incredible fashion, giving fans a taste of what was to come. The Egghead arc focuses on the Straw Hats' journey to Vegapunk’s laboratory. Upon reaching the island, the Straw Hats were greetedby the Sea Beast Weapons, one of the many creations of Vegapunk.
To make matters worse, a massive robot emerged out of nowhere. It was being driven by Lilith, one of the six satellites of Vegapunk. She had no sympathy for the pirates and wanted to get rid of them. However, Shaka told her to step back and bring the Straw Hats to the laboratory.

This raised a lot of questions in the minds ofOne Piecefans, as Vegapunk had never even met the crew. When Luffy met the real body of Vegapunk, the latter told him of his blunder and how he wanted to get away safely. Luffy was more than happy to help the scientist escape from Egghead. As the story progressed, it was revealed that Vegapunk had dabbled in the Void Century. York disclosed this information to the Gorosei in hopes of striking a deal with them.
She wanted to become a Celestial Dragon and believed that this information, along with the Mother Flame, would be sufficient to grant her the status. She managed to keep the secret until Atlas and Robin found the old laboratory. Not long afterward, the Straw Hats, Vegapunk’s satellites,and CP0 made their wayto York’s location. The Straw Hats made York confess her plans on the transponder snail to the Gorosei, where she also revealed that her life was in danger.
St. Jaygarcia Saturn’s Plan
St. Jaygarcia Saturntraveled to Egghgead withKizaru and the rest of the fleet because he wanted to tend to the matter personally. However, he was not expecting the Straw Hat Pirates to be cooped up inside the Frontier Dome. He knew that he had to take action, but he could not get involved without a proper plan. As the Navy waited outside Egghead, the Gorosei began to talk to Doberman about the strategy to deal with the pests.
St. Jaygarcia Saturn told the Vice Admiral that there are three things that they must rescue at all costs. Doberman was shocked to hear the plan, and he even tried to tell the Gorosei about the presence of Lucci and other Cipher Pol members on the island. But the Gorosei told him that human lives are comparable to those of insects, and no matter how many die, more will be born.
The Three Priorities
St. Jaygarcia Saturn mentioned that York’s safety is their number one concern. There are quite a few reasons why the Gorosei wants to ensure that the satellite is not harmed by the pirates or anyone else. The first is that she is able to recreate the Mother Flame. Following the test of itspower on the Lulusia Kingdom, the Gorosei were thoroughly impressed with the weapon’s power and wanted the weapon for the sake of the World Government. With the Mother Flame, they can easily destroy any nation that poses a threat to them. She also knows all the passwords required to access all the equipment on the island.

The Gorosei also wants to keep Punk Records intact, which harbors Vegapunk’s brain. The scientist and his satellites have used Punk Records to sync all their knowledge. Given the fact that Vegapunk’s mind is far superior to anyone else’s, it would be a massive loss to let Punk Records be destroyed.
The third and final thing St. Jaygarcia Saturn mentioned is that he wants to retain the power plant that creates the Mother Flame. The weapon’s power has been compared to that of an Ancient Weapon, and fans have already seen a glimpse of its power. So, it is no surprise why they want to keep the power plant intact.
Will He Be Successful?
In a normal situation, the Gorosei would have managed to secure all three things without having to get involved. But the presence of the Straw Hats changes everything. The crew consists of some of the most powerful fighters in the wholeOne Pieceworld. In the Wano Country arc, Luffy took down Kaido, the Strongest Creature in the World. Meanwhile, Zoro, Sanji, and Jimbei took down theelite combatants of the Beasts Pirates. All of them are running high on confidence and are ready to face whatever the Navy throws at them.
St. Jaygarcia Saturn has Kizaru, Lucci, and nine Vice Admirals by his side. All of them are powerful in their own right and will definitely cause problems for the heroes. Kizaru has rarely been involved in a serious fight, and this may be the last time that fans get a chance to watch him in action. The Egghead incident is being built up to be one of the most shocking events in the history of the world, so there may be a few deaths.
The Straw Hats are already on their way toward the ship, and the only person who can stop them is Kizaru, who has his hands full with Sentomaru. It is possible that Lucci will finally show his true colors and attack the Straw Hats, giving the Admiral some time to arrive at their location. At the moment, the pirates seem to have an edge.
