The One Piece anime series will take a break until April 2025, with the highly anticipated Egghead Island arc set to resume on March 30, 2025. This hiatus is described as a necessary “recharging period” aimed at enhancing the show’s quality moving forward. In the interim, fans can look forward to the airing of the “One Piece Fan Letter” episode next Sunday.
In addition to the hiatus announcement, a “special edited version” of the Fish-Man Island Saga will be available for streaming on Crunchyroll starting October 27. This version will present an upgraded quality of the Straw Hat Pirates’ reunion and their adventures on Fish-Man Island, condensed into 21 episodes. A teaser for this special can be viewed in the recent news segment video, which starts at the 9:40 mark.
The One Piece franchise is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary, marked by various projects and collaborations. Highlights include a takeover event in Las Vegas, a T-shirt collaboration with UNIQLO, and a gaming chair collection with TTRacing, alongside a special recap video featuring other celebratory content.
Furthermore, a remake of the series by WIT Studio is on the horizon, alongside the second season of the live-action adaptation, which recently unveiled the first look at Chopper and Drum Island.
Looking ahead, One Piece Episode 1123 is scheduled to premiere on October 27, a week after the “One Piece Fan Letter” episode. The latest chapter of the One Piece manga, Chapter 1129, will also be released later today. Fans can watch the anime on platforms such as Crunchyroll and Netflix, while the latest manga chapter is accessible for free on both the VIZ and MANGA Plus websites.
