One Piece recently dropped one of its most intense chapters and certainly the best of 2023 so far with chapter 1079 which saw Oda give focus to Red-Haired Shanks, a beloved character and a powerful Yonko. While the first part of the chapter was rather quiet, as it focused on York and her plans, the second half proved to be anything but that as it focused on the war right near the shore of Elbaf, the War Land.

Shanks and Kid met in combat and this was fans' very first look at the red-haired Yonko in a fight. With the destruction of the Kid Pirates that followed, now is time for the story to focus elsewhere and all eyes are on One Piece 1080.
One Piece 1080: Blackbeard Pirates On Egghead Island
One Piece, being in its Egghead Island Arc currently, will most certainly throw focus on this island. Nearly every chapter in this arc has had a portion of Egghead Island, even if the main part of the chapter focused elsewhere. The last chapter was focused on Shanks and Kid yet the beginning of the chapter was set on Egghead Island. As such, it goes without saying that Egghead Island will be in focus in the next chapter as well. In One Piece 1079, fans saw one of the ships of Blackbeard pirates pull up on Egghead. While many believe this ship to be carrying the Yonko Blackbeard, that is likely not the case. This is because Blackbeard was recently seen engaging Trafalgar Law in the New World at a completely different location on the same day as Luffy arrived on Egghead Island.
It should be physically impossible for him to get to Egghead Island in such a short amount of time. As such, it is highly likely that this ship does not carry Blackbeard but one of his Titanic Captains. The most likely person on this ship is going to be none other than the former Admiral of the Marines, Aokiji. Kuzan left the Navy 2 years ago and has, since then, joined Blackbeard. He was recently seen attacking Whole Cake Island, where he captured Pudding of the Big Mom Pirates and most likely stole the Poneglyph rubbings of the crew as well. Now, he is on Egghead Island, and there, he could prevent the tragedy of Ohara from repeating itself.
One Piece 1080: Robin Saves Stella
One Piece 1080 could also throw some light on the biggest event on the island itself, which is the capture of Stella. In chapter 1078, York was revealed to be the traitor and she had captured Stella in an attempt to shoot herself up to the position of Celestial Dragon. While Stella will certainly not be killed by her just now, York is still a big danger to him. The group closest to York currently is that of Nico Robin, Chopper, and Atlas, and together, they are heading towards the Devil Fruit laboratory.

It is possible that Robin and Atlas, along with Chopper, will engage in combat with York in the next chapter of One Piece. Fans could see Atlas get taken down in this combat while Robin and Chopper hold their own against York. It should also be noted that York recently mentioned that she is not good at combat, meaning she must have other precautionary measures to save herself, including summoning one of the Seraphims to defend herself, if need be.
One Piece 1080: Trafalgar Law Vs Blackbeard
The last chapter of One Piece focused on the combat between Eustass Kid and Yonko, Red-Haired Shanks. The combat ended rather quickly with Shanks taking down Kid in just a single swing of his sword. The narrator went on to declare Shanks as the winner and Kid Pirates as having been exterminated for good at the end of the chapter. With that in mind, the story could soon turn towards another member of the Worst Generation who is currently engaging Yonko Blackbeard in combat and that is none other than Trafalgar Law. Law engaged Blackbeard in combat on the ocean and this fight soon moved to a nearby island. The former started using his awakened devil fruit abilities right off the bat and injured Blackbeard quite a bit, however, as fans know already, Blackbeard has great endurance and enjoys taking lots of hits in combat.
One Piece 1080 could focus on this fight and declare Blackbeard as the winner. The pattern here is rather obvious and the next generation, who were victorious in Wano, will certainly be crushed in their respective fights. Law is most likely going to lose to Blackbeard, just as Kid lost to Shanks. The focus of the story could then shift to Egghead Island, where the war between the Straw Hat Pirates and the Navy will finally commence. The era is rapidly shifting in the world of One Piece and, for the fans, witnessing this is certainly going to be a treat.
Sadly, One Piece is on break next week. One Piece chapter 1080 is set to be released on April 9, 2023. Fans can read the chapter for free on the Shonen Jump and the MangaPlus apps.
