    Published:

    A new teaser trailer for the One Piece series confirms the anime will be on break until April 2025. It will resume with the ongoing Egghead Arc, and more details will be revealed at Jump Festa 2025. 

    Instead of a new episode next week, the One Piece Fan Letter special episode will air on October 20. It will adapt the Straw Hat Stories novel by Tomohito Ohsaki. One Piece Fan Letter is directed by Megumi Ishitani and scripted by Momoka Toyoda. Keisuke Mori is the character designer and animation director for the new episode as well.

    While One Piece is on break, a special edited version of the Fishman Island arc will begin on October 27, running for 21 episodes as “One Piece Log: Fishman Island Saga.” It will have remade scenes, retouched artwork and color shading, adjusted lighting, a Dolby Atmos soundtrack, and more.

    Moreover, the new One Piece Base mobile app launched in Japan with a manga viewer and additional content from the franchise. This new app is expected to release outside Japan in 2025 with multi-language support. Fans will be able to scan bar codes from select One Piece merchandise into the web version of the app to receive points and unlock chapters to read. Moreover, a Portrait Maker feature lets players turn facial photos into the style of Eiichiro Oda’s art. 

    Lastly, Funko unveiled its One Piece anime 25th anniversary Funko POP Plus statues of Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro. These two bronze statues are now available to pre-order for $25 each through October 17 at 9:30 a.m. PT, with an estimated ship date of June 27, 2025.
