With the release of One Piece Episode 1099 just a few days away, we've now got a new promo teasing what's to come in the next chapter of Egghead Island arc.
The action appears to be ramping up as Luffy and the Straw Hats have finally started to learn more about Dr. Vegapunk and the iron giant's creation. In Episode #1098, "The Eccentric Dream of a Genius!,” Dr. Vegapunk revealed that he was hoping to help the world with his technological advancements, but in doing so he researched the forbidden Void Century. With what he learned about the Void Century and the hidden past of the world, Dr. Vegapunk is now wanted by the World Government. So has now turned to Luffy and the Straw Pirates to help him leave Egghead.
At the same time, the CP0 were attempting to gain access to dock at Egghead. When that proved impossible, they ultimately launched an assault.
