The Egghead Island arc just won't stop hitting us with haymakers. Honestly, after the chaos of the Iron Giant and Joyboy’s Haki blast, most fans expected a bit of a breather. We were wrong. One Piece chapter 1125 spoilers have leaked, and they basically flip the power structure of the World Government on its head. It's not just a transition chapter; it’s a total execution of a long-standing status quo.
Saturn is gone.
I’m not talking about him retreating or getting fired. He’s dead. Like, disintegrated into bone and dust dead. This is arguably the biggest shift in the series' political landscape since the Paramount War, and it happens in such a cold, calculated way that it makes Imu look more terrifying than ever before.
Why Saint Jaygarcia Saturn Had to Go
For over a year, we watched Saturn fail. He failed to stop Vegapunk’s broadcast. He failed to secure the Mother Flame in its entirety. He failed to capture Luffy. In the world of the Five Elders, failure isn't just a mark on your performance review—it’s a death sentence.
The spoilers confirm that while the other Elders have successfully "teleported" or returned to Mary Geoise, Saturn remained on the shores of Egghead. As he stands there, black flames suddenly erupt from his body. This isn't an attack from a pirate. It's a remote "delete" button pressed by Imu. Saturn begs for mercy, screaming about the unpredictability of Joyboy’s Haki, but Imu doesn't care about excuses.
The visual description is gruesome. He ages rapidly, skin shriveling until only a skeleton remains, which then crumbles into nothing. It’s a stark reminder that the immortality or regenerative powers the Elders possess aren't their own; they are granted, and they can be revoked at a moment's notice.

A New Elder Rises: Figarland Garling Takes the Seat
If you thought the vacancy would lead to a power vacuum, think again. The World Government moves fast.
One Piece chapter 1125 spoilers reveal that Figarland Garling—the man we know as the former King of God Valley and the current leader of the Holy Knights—walks into the Room of Authority. He’s been promoted. Garling is now the new Elder of Science and Defense.
This is massive for a few reasons:
- It confirms that the "Elder" position isn't necessarily based on age or being from the beginning of time. It's an appointed role.
- It brings a known combatant and a "man of action" into the highest circle of power.
- The Figarland bloodline theory (and its connection to Shanks) just got a whole lot more relevant.
Garling's vibe is completely different from Saturn's. Where Saturn was a scientist who looked down on "insects," Garling is a warrior who actively enjoys the hunt. The dynamic of the Five Elders just became significantly more aggressive.
The State of Vegapunk: He’s Not Entirely Gone
While the World Government is reshuffling, the fallout on Egghead continues. We get a glimpse into what’s left of the Vegapunks. If you were mourning the loss of the main Stella body, the spoilers offer a weird bit of hope.

Basically, the "Punk Records" are still active. Because the brain is housed in the cloud, the consciousness of Vegapunk persists. We see a new "body" being constructed—a weird, chimeric fusion of the remaining satellite parts. It’s reported that Edison, Shaka, and Pythagoras have managed to stabilize a collective form.
This brings up a huge ethical and narrative question: Is this actually Vegapunk? Or is it just a digital ghost living in a machine? Either way, the World Government failed to completely silence the smartest man in the world.
The Revolutionaries and the Final War
While all this is happening in the upper echelons of power, Dragon is watching. The spoilers show a brief cut to the Revolutionary Army. Dragon notes that the world is sinking—literally. The sea levels are rising, and the message Vegapunk left behind has ignited fires of rebellion across the Four Blues.
Dragon realizes that the "war for resources" is no longer a future threat; it’s the current reality. People are going to start fighting for the high ground. It’s no longer just about freedom from tyranny; it’s about survival in a world that is losing its landmass.
The Ending of the Egghead Arc
The chapter ends with the ship carrying the remaining Vegapunks and the Straw Hats finally setting their sights on the next destination. It’s official. We are heading to Elbaf.

The transition is bittersweet. We lost Kuma’s "consciousness" (sort of), Saturn is dead, and the world is in a state of absolute panic. But the Straw Hats are sailing toward the land of giants with the most dangerous secret in history tucked in their pockets.
Immediate Takeaways for Fans
If you're following the meta-narrative, here is what you need to focus on right now:
- Imu's Power Scale: We now know Imu can kill an Elder from across the planet. This suggests the Elders are essentially "avatars" or extensions of Imu’s will.
- The Holy Knights: Garling’s promotion means the Holy Knights will likely play a much larger role in the upcoming chapters. They aren't just background characters anymore.
- The Mother Flame: Despite the chaos, the World Government did get what they needed to power the Ancient Weapons. The stakes for the next arc are "total world destruction."
The narrative shift here is palpable. For years, the Five Elders were these untouchable, static figures. Seeing one of them executed like a common traitor changes the stakes. No one is safe. Not even the gods of this world.
To stay ahead of the curve, keep an eye on the official release this Sunday. While spoilers give us the "what," Oda’s artwork always provides the "how," and the expressions on the faces of the remaining four Elders when Garling walks in will tell us everything we need to know about the internal tension in Mary Geoise. Prepare for the Elbaf arc to start with a level of intensity we haven't seen since the post-Enies Lobby era.
