One Piece Egghead Arc is one of the most celebrated in the series and for various reasons. Firstly, the Egghead Arc introduced fans to Luffy’s Devil actual Devil Fruit (Hito Hito no Mi Model: Nika), followed by the fierce fight between Blackbeard Pirates and Heart Pirates, and ended with Monkey D. Grap captured by the pirates.

One Piece’s last episode aired on Sunday, October 14, 2024, saw the fierce fight between the Marines and the Blackbeard Pirates. The Marines led by Monkey D. Grap came to rescue their fellow Marine, Koby, from the Pirates. Little did they know that Akoji Kuzan was a part of Blackbeard and could stand against his previous master to stop Koby from escaping. This led to a fierce fight between the two sides with Monkey D. Grap. This led to a fearsome battle between the greater forces in One Piece, Grap and Kuzan. Unfortunately, at the end fight, Kuzan had the hold over Grap while the rest successfully left the Island. However, at the end of the episode, fans discover the future of Marines in Koby, who destroyed a giant hand with his Honesty Fist.
