Chapter 1114 of One Piece, titled Wings of Icarus, unfolds a panorama of chaos and impending catastrophe.
As the chapter opens, Marinaford's marines succumb to panic, while fleet admiral Akainu maintains a stoic demeanor, contemplating strategies to mitigate the impending disaster. In Jaya, pirates mock Vegapunk's dire predictions, echoing their past skepticism of Luffy.
Water Seven's inhabitants grapple with widespread unease, and even within Impel Down's confines, Donquixote Doflamingo mockingly remarks on the futility of seeking refuge amidst rising seas.
Fishman Island teeters on the precipice of disbelief, and in Egghead, marines refuse to accept the grim reality Vegapunk's message heralds. The Gorosei, recognizing the threat, seek to silence it at any cost.
Undeterred, Vegapunk delivers a chilling prophecy: the recent earthquake and rising sea levels are mere preludes orchestrated by unnatural forces. The message instills panic, leaving people to wonder how he could have known. Soon, islands succumb to rising waters, and familiar faces like Tonjit and Kuzan appear amidst the chaos.
On Egghead, Nami's group faces a desperate battle against Saint Jaygarcia Saturn of the Gorosei. They launch attacks, but Saturn swiftly repels them.
Saturn's mission to silence the broadcast leads him past the Straw Hat crew, and into the laboratory, where he destroys transmission transponder snails, but to no avail. Vegapunk confesses to two sins: pursuing forbidden knowledge and attempting to provide the world with eternal energy.
He compares himself to Icarus, who flew too close to the sun. As he speaks, the ancient robot is seen advancing, despite marine attacks. Luffy, Dorry, and Broggy flee from Warcury as Vegapunk's message continues.
Vegapunk delves into the Void Century and mentions Imu. Jaguar D. Saul is seen in a forest, laughing as he listens to Vegapunk's words. Boodle, Shushu, and Marguerite also absorb the message.
Vegapunk, navigating past the Frontier Dome's defenses, manipulates the Labo-Phase cloud, granting the Thousand Sunny an escape route. Gear 5 Luffy attempts to attack Warcury, but Dorry and Brogy caution him of its futility.
Vegapunk reveals the central figure of the ancient tale, a stretchy-bodied man born in a mysterious kingdom 900 years ago: Joy Boy, the first pirate.
This chapter foreshadows a chaotic and uncertain future, with Vegapunk's warnings echoing throughout the One Piece world.
