The studio responsible for this masterpiece decided to prioritize quality over releasing episodes at a rapid pace, ensuring that the upcoming content will not disappoint fans who have been following the Wano Country and Egghead arcs. Toei Animation aimed to maintain the high standards it has set with these captivating storylines, so it chose to take a break for a time.

At last, following several months of anticipation, One Piece is set to resume with Episode 1123. The narrative will continue right from where it ended, thus enabling fans to discover the events unfolding on Egghead Island.

What Happened In The First Half Of Egghead Island?

It Was Packed With Many Incredible Fights

Given the lengthy gap between episodes of One Piece, it’s wise to recap the events of the current arc thus far. A significant part of the story revolves around Monkey D. Garp, who embarked on a journey to Hachinosu with the mission to rescue his protege, who had been taken captive by the Blackbeard Pirates. In this situation, Koby was kidnapped by the Emperor and his crew from Amazon Lily. Blackbeard, understanding Koby’s potential value, intended to use him as a negotiating tool for striking a deal with either the Marines or the World Government.

Thankfully, Garp managed to rescue Koby, but it was a costly victory. As the Marines attempted to withdraw, they found themselves blocked by Kuzan and his Blackbeard Pirate comrades. Both Kuzan and Garp recognized each other’s might, leading to an intense battle where they both gave their all in an attempt to outdo each other.

As it appeared that Garp might emerge victorious, he sustained a severe injury while shielding Koby from an unexpected assault. This blow left Garp severely weakened, giving Kuzan the advantage. In the closing moments of the fight, Garp selflessly allowed the Marines to retreat from Hachinosu. Moreover, Koby made a significant contribution by destroying Avalo Pizarro’s massive arm. Ultimately, the raid concluded unsuccessfully as the Marines lost one of their most powerful members, Garp, to Blackbeard.

Egghead Island Was In Complete Turmoil

On Egghead Island, York’s treachery turned it into a warzone. She commanded the Seraphim to assault and annihilate the other satellites and the Straw Hat Pirates. Her ambition to ascend as a Celestial Dragon fueled this betrayal, and she believed she could only achieve it once everyone else on the island had been eliminated. The confusion about who had betrayed Dr. Vegapunk escalated the chaos. So far, the Straw Hats have valiantly held their ground against the invading forces, but circumstances are likely to shift soon.

One Piece Episode 1123 Release Date

One Piece Episode 1123 Will Cover A Major Incident

On April 5, 2025, you can expect the release of One Piece Episode 1123, entitled “The World Staggers: The Straw Hat Barricade Incident.” Judging by the title alone, it’s evident that this upcoming episode promises to be thrilling. Furthermore, it suggests that the narrative will once again center around Egghead Island, where the Straw Hat Pirates are embroiled in a tough battle against the Seraphim. Moreover, it appears that things could escalate significantly for both the pirates and the satellites as Admiral Kizaru and a colossal armada approach the island.

Surrender Straw Hat. —Kizaru

Previously, during a skirmish at Sabaody Archipelago, the Straw Hat Pirates encountered Kizaru. This encounter was sparked by Luffy’s impulsive punch directed towards a Celestial Dragon within the auction house. The crew attempted to flee, but they were no match for Kizaru’s immense power. The Admiral came close to eliminating the entire crew, effectively ending their journey, but just in the nick of time, Silvers Rayleigh and Bartholomew Kuma intervened, saving them from certain destruction.

This time around, I’m confident that Kizaru won’t have the luxury of an easy victory. My crew and I have significantly boosted our strength levels. Many of us have mastered Haki, a skill that can wound an Admiral like him. While Zoro and Sanji can certainly hold their ground against Kizaru, they’re not yet at his level within the Marines. It’s going to be Luffy who squares off against Kizaru. There’s unfinished business between them, stemming from their encounter on Sabaody Archipelago. And trust me, Luffy won’t forget that debt!

One Piece Episode 1123 will be available to stream on Crunchyroll.
