One Piece: New theory confirms “shocking” betrayal

One Piece’s recent chapter subtly hints at a “shocking” traitor, and this popular theory has just confirmed it.

One Piece’s manga is currently in a chaotic situation on Egghead Island, as the Straw Hats, Bonney, and Vegapunk are under siege. The Marines already planned to eliminate Vegapunk even before the pirates’ arrival. However, after meeting the genius scientist, Luffy decides to protect him.

Not only did the CP0 arrive at the island, but even Kizaru came with an entire fleet. What follows after is the highly-anticipated Yonko vs Admiral battle with a clear victor. However, before Luffy and the others can escape, Saint Jaygarcia Saturn suddenly teleports there using a mysterious circle.

The recent chapter concludes Kuma’s backstory and focuses on the main fight of the arc. We also see Luffy eating to regain his strength. However, his crew and allies are all suffering from injuries. So, who could’ve given him food? While many One Piece fans ponder over this question, a popular theory suggests there may be a traitor, and it could be a good thing for Luffy and his crew.

The traitor in question is someone from the Marines and a high-ranking officer at that. X/Twitter user Typical Joe, popular for One Piece theories, shared: “Odds are it still was Kizaru who gave Luffy the food. It makes sense for him to not openly betray Saturn yet. I’ll bet he will use fighting the Straw Hats as a pretext to actually help them out.”

In another post, he reacted to a user’s criticism of his theory: “I don’t understand how some people in this fanbase have such binary ways of thinking. Like two things can’t possibly be true at once. Kizaru not openly betraying Saturn yet doesn’t mean it wasn’t him who gave Luffy the food.”

Needless to say, although it’s unbelievable, this One Piece theory might turn out to be true. After all, Kizaru’s motto is “unclear justice.” And just like the name, Kizaru’s motives are always a mystery. He appears carefree and has fickle priorities.

His ambiguous nature is always puzzling to fans. In the recent chapter, Kizaru is briefly shown with his inner monologue being nothing more than a sequence of dots. It’s unclear what he’s up to. There’s also his history with Sentomaru and Vegapunk, so it’s reasonable to think that Kizaru may not be as bad as he appears.
