The One Piece anime has recently made huge announcements regarding the anime. Firstly, Toei Animation has declared that the anime will be going on break for a while. However, fans needn’t be so bummed, as the creators have gone to great lengths to bring us special episodes for the hiatus duration.
Since the One Piece anime has made these two announcements, this article will go into detail on the hiatus and the new TV special.
One Piece Anime To Go On Hiatus
On the 13th of October, Toei Animation announced that the anime would be going on a six-month-long hiatus till April 2025. Episode 1122 has already aired, making it the last episode until the hiatus ends. Egghead Arc Part 2 will start airing in April 2025.
This lengthy hiatus period has a valid reason though. The anime will be going on a break to gear up for the new arc, so we can expect the anime to be back with a bang. This may be quite irksome for fans, but it is an essential break that ensures that we fans will get premium quality content.

For all the fans that are sad about the Hiatus, don’t be! The One Piece anime will be releasing a special series called “One Piece Log: Fish-Man Island Saga”, which is a 21-episode series to air in between the hiatus period. Here’s the visual:
This series will be a special edited version of the Fish-Man Island arc in the anime. It’ll be a touch-up version with better visuals, new soundtracks, and other improvements. Furthermore, the anime will be receiving a new time slot as well!
Since the original Fish-Man arc was 58 episodes long, this new special will be condensed to 21 episodes. Regardless, we can still expect this series to keep us going until the 6 month Hiatus ends. So fans, gear up as this arc is going to be quite the banger! Here’s a sneak peek:

Episode 1122 Recap
The episode starts with Pizzaro unleashing his attack on the Marine’s ship. Since the attack was devastating enough to kill everyone in the vicinity, Vice-Admiral Garp decided to make an opening for Koby to destroy Pizzaro’s hand.
After this, Garp ordered his crew to evacuate and took it upon himself to buy time for his crew to flee. The episode concluded with a really emotional visual of Garp getting stabbed through the chest and a sign that said, “To be continued.”
