Chapter 1106 of One Piece brings readers back to the intense duel between Luffy and Admiral Kizaru. Their fight has raged on for some time, and this latest installment revealed a surprise twist – their confrontation will continue even longer than expected.
This choice disappointed some fans who were eager for the spotlight to shift. Many who cheer for Sanji specifically were hoping he would finally get his long-awaited, highlight-worthy scene in this chapter.
But the ongoing focus on Luffy versus Kizaru denied them that for now.
As the overarching storyline on Egghead Island pushes ahead, stretching out the clash between the straw-hat captain and marine admiral has generated impatience among devoted One Piece followers.
While engrossed in Luffy’s struggle, they still yearn to see more momentum and advancement from other key characters they care about like Sanji. The hunger grows for him to take center stage in a memorably badass moment.
Sanji Fans Left Disappointed as Luffy’s Battle with Kizaru Takes Center Stage
The latest chapter opens by showing Sanji and Franky reeling from injuries caused by Kizaru’s devastating light beams.
Just as Kizaru prepares to finish off Bonney, Luffy intervenes in Gear 5 form to continue their intense duel which began in prior installments.
Choosing to maintain the spotlight on Luffy battling the Admiral left some readers scratching their heads.
Given the memorable fights already unfolding on Egghead Island, like Luffy vs Kizaru and Zoro vs Lucci, fans expected the story would soon shift to showcasing Sanji in a long-awaited brawl.
As one of the most beloved Straw Hats, renowned for formidable skill and kind temperament, anticipation ran high for Sanji to finally seize his highlight moment.
Yet the decision to extend Luffy and Kizaru’s back-and-forth instead of pivoting focus perplexed devotees longing to see the clever cook kick his way into an eye-catching confrontation.
Sanji claiming the center stage could wait it seems, while action centered elsewhere for now.
Excitement and expectations were high heading into chapter 1106, especially for Sanji fans hoping to finally see him take part in a major fight.
But the choice was made to extend Luffy’s back-and-forth battle with Admiral Kizaru instead.
This left Sanji supporters feeling let down and unsatisfied. Their beloved character remains stuck waiting in the wings rather than stepping into an eagerly anticipated confrontation worthy of his talents.
The hunger continues to grow among devotees of the clever cook for him to receive expanded focus and screen time. They yearn to see Sanji shine in the center stage spotlight rather than lingering on the sidelines.
How Fans Have Reacted To One Piece Chapter 1106
After chapter 1106’s release, readers took to social media to share their reactions. Many had hoped to finally see Sanji showcase his skills in an electrifying fight with a formidable opponent.
Instead, continuing Luffy’s back-and-forth with Kizaru led to disappointment and questions about creator Eiichiro Oda’s storytelling decisions.
Fans were eager for a shift in the action that would give Sanji, a fan favorite, his chance to display his development and abilities.
But dragging out Luffy and Kizaru’s clash not only let down supporters of the suited fighter, it also raised concerns about the pacing and momentum of the arc.
Some voiced hopes that future chapters would make up for this missed chance and give Sanji the focus and time in the spotlight he deserves. There is a longing to see him confront a power worthy of his talents, rebalancing the scales towards the clever cook.
While Oda’s choice causes frustration, devoted readers continue anticipating the moment when this central Straw Hat is served a fight that nourishes fans’ expectations.
More From One Piece Chapter 1106
The chapter picks up right where the previous one left off, with Dr. Vegapunk continuing his monologue. He reveals that his deepest fear was Bonney becoming a pirate only to be killed by a Pacifista.
To prevent this, he secretly installed a program in all Pacifista models inspired by Bartholomew Kuma that gives Bonney absolute authority over them, even above the Gorosei.
Vegapunk declares that no matter who Bonney’s enemy is, her father will never betray her. He then tells his clone Atlas to inform Bonney that she can control the Pacifistas.
As Bonney and Atlas fall through the sky, Atlas passes along this message. Bonney calls out for her father’s help escaping Egghead. Hearing her voice, the Pacifistas all turn against the Marines below.
But Saint Jaygarcia Saturn realizes Vegapunk’s plan and retaliates by stabbing him. Saturn orders Kizaru to kill everyone there.
The chapter reveals more of Vegapunk’s motivations while demonstrating the lengths he’ll go to protect his daughter. However, his gambit faces immediate and lethal consequences.
