As seen in the latest unofficial release of the One Piece manga, the Buster Call has begun on Egghead Island and likewise brought chaos and destruction along with it at every step. By the alleged end of chapter 1105, fans see Bartholomew Kuma and Jewelry Bonney falling through the sky, leaving them completely defenseless against the Marines present.

Clearly intending to kill them, it seems the Gorosei member will be successful, given the pair’s current situation and lack of means of defense against the attack.
However, this recent development in the One Piece manga has brought to light a potential spoiler in the television anime adaptation’s opening theme. For a brief moment in the animation sequence, Sentomaru can be seen turning to face a group of Pacifista who are preparing to fire their laser beams.
