Monkey D. Luffy

Monkey D. Luffy, famously recognized as "Straw Hat Luffy" or simply "Straw Hat," stands as the illustrious founder and captain of the Straw Hat Pirates an increasingly notorious and formidable crew. Among his comrades, he holds the distinguished position of their most formidable combatant. His unwavering aspiration is to uncover the enigmatic treasure left behind by the late Gol D. Roger, thereby cementing his status as the Pirate King. This pursuit is intertwined with a deeply concealed dream, shared only with his trusted confidants: Shanks, his brothers, and loyal crewmates. Luffy firmly believes that attaining the title of Pirate King signifies the ultimate freedom in the world of pirates.

Luffy, a youthful figure of average height, sports untamed black hair, round ebony eyes, and a slender yet muscular physique. His iconic straw hat, the source of his alias "Straw Hat Luffy," was a treasured gift bestowed upon him in his youth by the legendary pirate captain known as "Red-Haired" Shanks, who, in turn, had received it from Gol D. Roger. His attire consists of blue shorts with cuffs, sandals, and a sleeveless red vest. Notably, Luffy bears a distinctive scar with two stitches beneath his left eye—a testament to his determination, having inflicted the wound as a child to prove his mettle to Shanks. During the tumultuous Summit War of Marineford, he suffered grave injuries at the hands of Akainu, resulting in a prominent X-shaped scar on his chest.

Hailing from Foosha Village, Luffy boasts a lineage that connects him to two illustrious figures: his father, Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and his grandfather, the Marine hero Monkey D. Garp. The shared initial "D" in their names carries significant meaning. At the tender age of seven, Luffy unwittingly consumed the Gomu Gomu no Mi, a Devil Fruit that transformed his body into rubber. Additionally, Shanks entrusted Luffy with the very straw hat that now defines his identity, accompanied by a promise of a future reunion once Luffy matured into a formidable pirate. Raised on Dawn Island under the care of Curly Dadan, Luffy forged deep bonds with "Fire Fist" Portgas D. Ace and the Revolutionary Chief-of-Staff Sabo, becoming their sworn brother.

At the youthful age of 19, Luffy holds a prestigious position as one of the Four Emperors, ranking among the four most formidable pirates globally. Leading the Straw Hat Pirates, he wields unparalleled authority over a diverse and mighty crew comprising numerous infamous members, many of whom possess extraordinary powers. Luffy's crewmates trust him implicitly, placing their lives in his hands despite his reckless tendencies, and in some instances, even because of them.

Luffy is also recognized as one of the "Worst Generation," a group of pirates infamous for audacious actions against the World Government, all carrying bounties exceeding 100,000,000 Beli. His indirect dominion extends to the Straw Hat Grand Fleet—a colossal assembly of seven potent New World crews, totaling 5,640 individuals, who voluntarily pledge their allegiance to him and stand ready to provide assistance at his beck and call. The World Government deems Luffy's authority akin to that of the Four Emperors, dubbing him the "Fifth Emperor."

Notably, Luffy officially attained the status of Emperor following his victory over one of the former Emperors, Kaidou. His meteoric ascent to power in just over two years sent shockwaves throughout the world. Presently, his bounty stands at 3,000,000,000 Beli, making it the lowest among the Emperors but equaling the bounties of his fellow Worst Generation members, Kid and Law. Only the bounties of the former Emperors Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaidou, fellow Emperors Shanks and Blackbeard, former Warlord Mihawk, and the late Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, surpass Luffy's.

Luffy's unique abilities stem from the consumption of the Gomu Gomu no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that grants him rubber-like properties. Initially struggling to control his newfound elasticity, Luffy honed his mastery over a decade on Dawn Island and further refined it during a two-year training period with Silvers Rayleigh on Rusukaina.

In a surprising twist during the Wano Country Arc, it was unveiled that Luffy's Devil Fruit is a Mythical Zoan-type: the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Nika. This transformation allows him to embody Nika, a whimsical Sun God known for liberating slaves and bringing joy to people's lives. This grants Luffy's body a rubbery composition, affording him the freedom to fight in any manner he envisions. According to the esteemed figure Shepherd Ju Peter, Nika's ability to bring smiles to others has earned Luffy the title of the "Warrior of Liberation," a power deemed the most ludicrous in the world.

Despite the excitement of the new chapter, early spoilers and raw scans have already been discussed.

Additionally, the chapter raises questions about the attack on Pythagoras and who is behind the attempt on Vegapunk's life.

Would Luffy and Zoro be willing to agree to the temporary alliance?
In chapter 1075 of One Piece, Lucci and Kaku proposed a temporary alliance with Luffy and Zoro to take down the Seraphim. However, from the expressions on Luffy and Zoro's faces, it seems unlikely that this alliance will come to fruition. Luffy holds a grudge against Lucci from the events of Water 7 and Enies Lobby and prefers to fight alone without interference. Similarly, Zoro would prefer to fight S-Hawk alone to gauge his own strength. However, since there are three Seraphim and Shaka is not a fighter, it is possible that Luffy may consider releasing Lucci and Kaku to fight the third Seraphim.
 

Bonney is learning more about her father and delving into Kuma's memories
Chapter 1074 of One Piece featured a crucial panel showcasing Kuma's memories and Oda has just begun to unravel Kuma's backstory. Given Oda's track record of completing character backstories, it is safe to assume that Kuma's story will not be left unfinished.

Kuma's memories are also a rich source of information about the World Government, the Revolutionary Army, his relationship with Monkey D. Dragon and Vegapunk, and more. With slavery and similar dark themes already present in the One Piece universe, Kuma's history as a former slave of the Celestial Dragons adds another layer of complexity.

Bonney is attempting to access the "Memory World" once again to learn the truth about her father. While Kuma's backstory was not revealed in chapter 1075, there is a possibility that it may be unveiled in the next chapter (1076).

Recent chapters have shown Kuma attempting to climb the Red Line despite being shot multiple times by the Marines. Fans are speculating as to why he is so determined to reach the Holyland of Mariejois. Theories range from Kuma being a former slave with self-destruct mechanisms implanted in his body, to seeking revenge on the Celestials. As Kuma's backstory continues to unfold, the reason behind his climb up the Red Line may also be revealed.

What activities or actions are being undertaken by the individual known as "kid" Vegapunk?
In Chapter 1074 and 1075 of One Piece, Vegapunk was noticeably absent, despite the Strawhats and Satellites dividing themselves in an effort to find him quickly. However, they are unaware that Bonney's Devil Fruit powers have transformed Vegapunk into a young child. It is possible that they will be surprised to find him in his youthful state.

Despite extensive island coverage by the satellites and their cameras, Vegapunk Stella has not been located. This has led to speculation that Vegapunk may be hidden in his secret lab, attempting to reverse the transformation and devising a plan to evade CP0 agents.

Given Vegapunk's reputation as a genius, it is likely that his upcoming exploits will be showcased in the raw scans for Chapter 1076.

By whom was Pythagoras attacked?
Pythagoras, the body of Vegapunk Satellite, was attacked by S-Snake when he ventured outside the lab to search for the Stella body of Vegapunk. This attack presents a major issue, as their most powerful creation is now working against them.

Pythagoras is highly regarded for its ability to analyze, observe, and compile data to produce the most accurate results. Therefore, it would be advantageous for their enemies to incapacitate it. The identity of the party who ordered S-Snake to attack Pythagoras may be revealed in One Piece Chapter 1076 spoilers. 

Wapol and Vivi are revealing confidential government information.

On Big News Morgan's airship, in One Piece 1074, Wapol and Vivi were hiding from the government. Wapol was paranoid that there might be wiretaps or bugs in the airship that could lead them to get caught. Fans started to think that Wapol might have done something to upset the government, or perhaps he saw something that they didn't want him to see, such as the assassination of King Nefertari Cobra. This may have caused him to flee with Vivi to avoid the Marines.

In One Piece chapter 1076, it is possible that Wapol, still in a state of paranoia, may reveal what he saw that made him flee from the government. This may give us information on why King Cobra was assassinated and how it may be related to Pluton. It's possible that IM-sama, the Five Elders, or the Celestial Dragons obtained information on Pluton and wanted it from King Cobra.
