Currently, the One Piece series is reaching the climax of the Egghead arc, making every scene extremely intense and captivating. In chapter 1121, Bonney finally confronts Saturn, while in chapter 1122, Emeth takes care of the remaining fragments of the Celestial Dragon.
Prior to that, in chapter 1120, the robot had ominously targeted a massive energy source in its arsenal when facing off against the formidable adversaries. Now, to give Luffy and his crew a fighting chance, it has decided to utilize its immense power, as the legacy of Joyboy demands it to act at a critical moment.
Chapter 1122 of One Piece finally reveals the dangerous potential of Emeth at a high level. The colossal robot unleashed a devastating Haki attack on the Celestial Dragon, forcing the elder Celestial Dragons to retreat and revert to their human forms. Notably, Ju Peter, Warcury, and Nusjuro all retreated to Mary Geoise, leaving only Saturn on Egghead Island. This shows that Emeth’s destructive attack had caused significant damage, preventing the Celestial Dragon from maintaining their usual dominance.
The formidable Haki attack, reminiscent of the power Joyboy once wielded within Emeth, evokes memories of the past. Joyboy had hoped that Emeth would utilize this power when necessary. Whether Emeth’s shield or the shield of those it seeks to protect can withstand threats remains to be seen.
Emeth introduces the concept of “Haki shielding” to other characters. While this is not the first time such a concept has been hinted at, considering the ongoing existence of the Void Century, it is the first time we see Haki being stored in a tangible form. This opens up numerous new possibilities for the future of the storyline.
At the end of the chapter, after Emeth utilizes Joyboy’s formidable Haki, the light in its eyes fades… Emeth states: “To the future now… I wonder if I have a chance to see her again… Fufufu…” The only remaining trace of the collective consciousness is: “And then it fades along with the beautiful memories of my own…” This hints at what will happen with Emeth after it employs this newfound power.
