Episode 1111 begins with the Straw Hat Pirates searching for Dr. Vegapunk on Egghead Island. They are trapped due to an unknown disturbance, as video transmissions fail and communication is disrupted. Shaka finds Vegapunk, also known as Stella, but is suddenly shot by an invisible assailant. It becomes clear that someone in the lab is sabotaging them.

Meanwhile, the World Government learns of Vegapunk's forbidden research on the Void Century. In response, they dispatch Admiral Kizaru with a fleet of over a hundred ships to Egghead Island. Accompanying them is St. Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the Five Elders, underscoring the severity of the situation. Sentomaru warns the island's inhabitants to evacuate, fearing a catastrophe similar to the one on Ohara.

The Seraphim—advanced cyborgs modeled after the former Warlords of the Sea—turn against the Straw Hats and Vegapunk's satellites. Usopp and Lilith encounter S-Snake but are petrified by her powers. Luffy and Zoro face off against S-Bear and S-Hawk but struggle to make progress due to the Seraphim's resilience and adaptive combat strategies.

A flashback reveals that three months prior, an anonymous tip from Egghead informed the World Government about Vegapunk's illegal studies. Cipher Pol agents CP5, CP7, and CP8 are sent to investigate but mysteriously disappear after their missions. The Five Elders decide to eliminate Vegapunk, with Jaygarcia Saturn personally overseeing the operation.

Back in the lab, Vegapunk confronts York, one of their own satellites, who is revealed to be the traitor behind the chaos. She declares her ambition to become a Celestial Dragon and claims that the world only needs one Dr. Vegapunk. The episode ends with the impending arrival of the World Government forces and the ruthless exposure of York's betrayal, setting the stage for a monumental conflict.
