One Piece episode 1097 recap
One Piece Episode 1097 began with a flashback to the island of Ohara shortly after its Buster Call.
A young Dr. Vegapunk is seen watching various Giants fishing books out of the island’s lake. As he went to speak with them, Monkey D. Dragon called out to him. It was revealed the two were friends both with each other and with Professor Clover.
This was also where Dragon came up with the idea for the Revolutionary Army, asking Dr. Vegapunk to join. However, he declined on the grounds that Dragon does not have the funds to let him do the research he’d wanted to.

Focus returned to the present, where the Straw Hats were shown to be shocked at these revelations. Robin then asked if the Giant with bandages all over his body Dr. Vegapunk had heard of that day was Jaguar D. Saul, which Vegapunk Shaka confirmed. She began crying at this revelation while Shaka led the others to a screen showing Luffy’s group.
The episode showed Luffy’s group having met up with Dr. Vegapunk, who was revealed to be a Brain-Brain Fruit user. However, his brain grew so massive that he removed it and stored it in the Punk Records system, which the apple antenna on his head connected to.
He also explained his Satellites to the group. The episode ended with Bonney attempting to enact revenge on him but fainting due to some bugs. Luffy asked about the robot, and CP0 arrived.
One Piece Episode 1098 what to expect (speculative)
With CP0 being shown to have all but arrived at Egghead Island in the prior installment’s final moments, One Piece Episode 1098 should see them make landfall by its end.
Before that, though, fans can expect Dr. Vegapunk to answer Luffy’s question and begin elaborating on the ancient robot seen on Egghead Island.
Episode 1098 should also see Dr. Vegapunk offer his thoughts on his relationship with Jewelry Bonney and her father, Bartholomew Kuma, especially with their imminent confrontation.
While the exact nature of their relationship is unclear currently, Bonney clearly feels wronged in some way with respect to her father’s ultimate fate at the Marine scientist’s hands.
