This new Arc in the series is super important for both Luffy and Usopp, and is set on a land that is considered to have the strongest warriors in the world. So, fans of the anime should expect some epic battles coming ahead.
Fans of the series who were expecting the English dub should also be looking forward to the last batch of the Egghead Arc episodes to be airing on March 2026. Once Piece episodes 1144 to 1155 will be available starting March 24, 2026, on the streaming platform.
Elbaph Arc Is Going To Be Huge For One Piece
Following up on a close encounter with certain defeat (and some tearjerking sacrifices) during the epic conclussion of the Egghead Arc, Luffy and crew set course to the land of Elbaph, home of the tallest mountains in the New World, and a place ruled by a warring race of giants banding together in the Warland Kingdom.
First mentioned during the Little Garden Arc, this new destination is a long-overdue promise that will test Luffy and his crew's bonds to the maximum. Filled with dangerous creatures and mysterious structures that appear to be made of LEGO bricks, Elbaph holds more than one secret to be told, and an array of colorful characters that are extremely challenging to animate. But no challenge is big enough to discourage Toei Animation from delivering ultimate quality with every episode.

The production of the anime took a three-month break to ensure that the quality of the series meets both the current standards and respects the original story arc in the manga. Without giving too many spoilers, let's just say that things are going out of proportion with this arc, so it was obvious that Toei would take a small sidestep to regain focus and come back stronger than ever.

One Piece's ending is already clear. Oda has revealed details about this ending.
At the same time, Toei is also working hard on Digimon Beatbreak, which has been going through a continuous release every week since October 2025. But that is a tale for another time, and fans of One Piece should be happy to know that there's more of Luffy's tale yet to tell, as he roams the seas looking for the ultimate treasure.
