She dreams of becoming a Celestial Dragon and justifies her betrayal by claiming there should only be one Vegapunk.
Her actions set the stage for Egghead’s tragic events, as the island faces imminent destruction. However, York underestimates the danger she poses to herself, holding secrets the World Government would prefer to keep hidden.
Aware of the risks tied to his research, the original Vegapunk anticipated betrayal. His plan to uncover the secrets of the Void Century reflects his understanding of the World Government’s corruption.
While York’s betrayal aligns with her nature, Vegapunk’s foresight suggests he may have prepared countermeasures. Fans eagerly await how these events will come to light in the arc’s continuation.
The Gorosei Display Hidden Strength
The Gorosei, long regarded as mere advisors, reveal themselves as formidable fighters during a confrontation with Sabo and King Cobra. Their abilities, shrouded in mystery, suggest they possess Devil Fruits with immense power.
Observers speculate their transformations hint at Zoan-type Devil Fruits, potentially linked to Imu. Fans anticipate learning more about their true nature in future episodes.
Imu’s influence likely enhances the Gorosei’s strength, suggesting they might play a larger role in upcoming events. Their possible interference in Vegapunk’s defiance adds another layer of tension to the storyline. As the anime progresses, these enigmatic rulers may emerge as a threat to the Straw Hats and their allies.
York’s Betrayal Sets the Stage for Conflict
York’s actions could prompt another Buster Call against Egghead. While the Straw Hats have survived such challenges before, a direct confrontation with the Navy’s full force would test their resilience.

The evolving story raises questions about their connection, hinting at more mysteries yet to be explored.
Anime-only viewers are particularly intrigued by Bonney’s backstory and her ties to Kuma. Despite their established presence in the series, their familial relationship caught many off guard. Kuma’s tragic transformation into a mindless servant for the World Government adds further depth to his character.
