One Piece Chapter 1078 Summaries - Escape Time Limit

The identity and motive of the traitor are the main focus of the chapter. The traitor is revealed to be York, whose deeper dream is fully revealed in the chapter. Sanji fights S-Shark and uses Ifrit Jambe, and although S-Shark isn't taking damage, Sanji has the upper hand. Additionally, there are other small events in the chapter, such as Egghead, and the end of the chapter hypes up major events in the future. Despite previous spoilers suggesting otherwise, York's goal description is fake. Some fans are disappointed with the twist, preferring the idea of Doflamingo being the traitor due to his Celestial Dragon DNA potentially causing a rogue Seraphim not following orders.

York's motive for being the traitor is driven by both greed and anger. It seems that she is frustrated with her position as the only Vegapunk who doesn't get to showcase her abilities and is reduced to just eating, sleeping, and taking care of bodily functions for the rest of the team. While some may find her reveal as the mastermind surprising, it now begs the question of why she did it and what her motivations are. It's essential that these motivations are explained thoroughly and convincingly so that they don't come off as silly or weak. As for the ongoing battle between Sanji and S-Shark, some people are suggesting that S-Shark is weaker than S-Hawk, which they find to be a ridiculous notion given that Fishman genetics are superior to those of regular humans. They argue that S-Hawk's Devil Fruit is unimpressive, especially since he already carries a blade, while S-Shark's Devil Fruit complements his fighting style and allows him to use Fishman karate.
