As previously announced in October, the One Piece Elbaph arc anime will air with a new two-cour structure featuring a maximum of 26 episodes. This change to the seasonal model aims to bring improvements in story pacing and animation quality. Once the Egghead arc concludes this year, One Piece will go on a three-month hiatus from January to March 2026. Among one of the anime’s new cast additions is Kenjiro Tsuda, who voices Shamrock—the Figarland family leader and twin brother of pirate Shanks in the One Piece world.

One Piece Egghead Arc episodes 1134 through 1143 are streaming with an English dub on Crunchyroll. The English dub for One Piece Egghead Arc episodes 1134 – 1143 is available in United States, Canada, LATAM, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, and Southeast Asia.

An anime adaptation of Jun Esaka and Sayaka Suwa’s One Piece: Heroines light novel series is also coming soon. One Piece: Heroines was serialized in issues of One Piece Magazine in 2019. Shueisha publishes the novel series in Japan, and VIZ Media publishes the series in English outside Japan.

The One Piece manga has been serialized since July 1997, and fans can read the One Piece manga weekly on VIZ Media and Manga Plus in English.
