As per the description of the new arc, the new Egghead Arc of One Piece has several major revelations to unfold.

A traitor’s leak about Vegapunk’s research leads to a tense standoff between the Marines and those on Egghead Island. Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Revolutionary Army become entangled in these events. The arc also delves into the origins of Devil Fruits, the awakening of Zoan-type powers, and the mysterious ‘man with the burn scar.

The truth about the Void Century remains hidden, but the events set in motion during this arc have far-reaching consequences for the world of One Piece, leading to new alliances and conflicts on the horizon.
