Best Friend - One Piece 1124 Manga Chapter

Morgans is thrilled by Dr. Vegapunk's speech to the world because it allows him to spread fear and despair through the news. Since he is the only source of information, everyone will believe him. Vivi criticizes him for this, pointing out that Dr. Vegapunk spoke of hope for the future. Morgans threatens to reveal Vivi's location if she doesn't stop telling him how to do his job. Despite this, Vivi stands her ground, prompting Wapol to try to calm her down by reminding her that they have nowhere else to go if they anger Morgans too much. Morgans admits he doesn't mind telling everyone that the world is going to sink, but he personally isn't affected since he lives in the air. Vivi refuses to back down as Morgans starts listing potential headlines: Blackbeard vs. Law, Shanks vs. Kid, and Luffy killing Dr. Vegapunk, which Vivi knows isn't true.

On Egghead, Sakazuki tries to contact someone about the situation while Sentomaru escapes to sea on a rowboat. Kizaru answers the Den Den Mushi and tells Sakazuki that everyone is unconscious, but he promises to give a full report once they wake up. Sakazuki hopes Kizaru didn't do a sloppy job, but Kizaru asks if Sakazuki has ever killed a close friend. Kizaru recalls when he first met Dr. Vegapunk, sent to "arrest" him, but Dr. Vegapunk knew it was just a cover to exploit his intellect. He also remembers helping Dr. Vegapunk create Egghead Island. With tears in his eyes, Kizaru angrily tells Sakazuki to come to Egghead to see for himself if he messed up, causing Sakazuki to relent.

On the Thousand Sunny, tethered to the Giants' ship, Jinbe tells Franky he didn't expect Luffy to be so depressed about failing to save the Stella. Franky admits that with everything they encountered on the island, from meeting the Five Elders to dealing with Kizaru, CP0, the Seraphim, and a whole blockade of battleships, he still can't believe they barely escaped. Zoro, also on the ship, cruelly calls Luffy pathetic for getting mopey over Dr. Vegapunk's death. Lilith wakes up on the Giants' ship, surrounded by Usopp, Chopper, Nami, and Sanji. They deeply apologize to Lilith for only being able to save her, but she says she has heard the whole story, which confuses everyone. After taking a minute to cry, Lilith says she is hungry. When she goes to the table, she sees Luffy sadly eating, upset he couldn't keep his word to Dr. Vegapunk. Lilith tells everyone she cried earlier because she was sad about everyone's deaths, but she then tells them they only "died" by their concept. According to Lilith, the Stella and the other Satellites (except York) are still alive. Though her words confuse everyone, she says the main point is that Luffy did somewhat keep his promise, so he should cheer up.

Sure enough, Luffy perks up and thanks the Giants for rescuing them before starting their proper feast. When the Giants ask Luffy who he thinks will become the Pirate King and claim the One Piece, Luffy proudly states it will be him. With that, the ship makes its way to Elbaf, where someone seems to be waiting for Luffy to arrive.
