One Piece Finally Lets One Fan-Favorite Marine Shine

As an enthusiast, I’m currently immersed in the second stage of the Egghead Saga in ‘One Piece‘ anime, with fresh episodes gracing our screens this Spring. A much-adored Marine character is finally taking center stage in the latest episode, adding a thrilling twist to the narrative. The beauty of Eiichiro Oda’s ‘One Piece’ lies in its vast universe that caters to virtually every fan type. This expansiveness, however, also means that not all beloved characters are always aligned with Luffy and the Straw Hats.

In the course of the One Piece franchise, the cast of antagonists has grown significantly, with the Marines being no exception, even reaching those at the highest ranks. Characters like Vice-Admiral Doll have particularly resonated with fans for unique reasons, and as the latest episode unfolds, this Marine character is finally getting some action – a development that’s causing quite a stir, given Luffy’s current predicament.

Who Is Doll in One Piece?

During the initial phase of the Egghead Arc in One Piece last year, a significant portion of the storyline unfolded outside Dr. Vegapunk’s future island lab. Simultaneously, it was disclosed that while Luffy and the Straw Hats were trapped on the island, Koby was being kept prisoner by Blackbeard’s forces on Beehive. As a result, the initial half of the arc predominantly revolved around Garp and the Marines launching an assault on Beehive to rescue Koby. This is where viewers were introduced to more of the Marine personnel for the first time.

Throughout the New World arc, the Marine roster has undergone significant changes, mirroring the transformative events following the Marineford arc. New characters like Doll have been introduced, capturing fan attention with her distinctive design that sets her apart from other Marines introduced concurrently. Notably, the Marines did not launch an attack on Egghead, and Doll swiftly defeats a Pacifista without much resistance.

What’s Next for the Marines in One Piece?

The sudden movement of the doll symbolizes both excitement and danger, as it signals the long-awaited display of the Marine’s combat skills, yet also indicates that the Marines are advancing towards Luffy and his companions. Earlier, a standstill existed, but with Saturn’s command to eliminate Dr. Vegapunk and his island projects (except for essential items), Admiral Kizaru is now leading the offensive as the Marines initiate their assault.

This upcoming storyline in “One Piece” promises to be action-packed and full of turmoil. Luffy, after years, is set to have his second encounter with Kizaru, a battle long anticipated since their previous disastrous clash. Additionally, other characters will engage in significant fights of their own. The situation is bound to escalate further before things start to improve. You can tune in to the latest episodes of “One Piece” streaming now on Netflix and Crunchyroll.
