Since this arc began, Toei Animation has consistently released an extraordinary level of animation, keeping the hype around the fandom higher than ever.
Even Episode 1151 is being talked about because of how Bonney has also activated Nika forms, and now we have two characters fighting against a powerful enemy, and for now, the duo has reached the peak of their strength.

Right now, there are only a handful of episodes before Toei Animation is about to shift to a seasonal release, and fans have been mentally prepared to enjoy this Egghead Arc to the fullest because this will be the last time this series will be part of the weekly release schedule.
Recap of Episode 1152

Episode 1152 could be described as intense, as it focused on multiple events taking place on the island. We also got a small flashback reveal of Vegapunk talking to Professor Clover of Ohara. The revelation continues to shock the world, and things are never about to be the same again.
Meanwhile, the Strawhats crew is trying to make their escape, but they only have one shot to make it to the ocean. Atlas sacrifices herself so that the Thousand Sunny can make it. Meanwhile, Saint Peter launches an attack on the ancient Iron Giant, attempting to neutralize a threat tied to the Void Century.
At the same time, Saint Saturn targets the giants’ ship, pushing the battlefield toward destruction. However, Saturn’s assault is halted when Luffy and Bonney step in together. Luffy shields Bonney without hesitation, while Bonney finally confronts the figure responsible for her family’s suffering.
What to expect from One Piece Episode 1153? (Speculative)

We know that the title of One Piece Episode 1153 is “The Upheaval of an Era! The Color of the Supreme King that Leads Luffy,” and looking at the title alone, one thing we can be sure about is that the episode is going to send a chill down everyone's spine. As this series is infamous know to dropping major hints in the title itself, so we can expect One Piece Episode 1153 to show us Joy Boy's overwhelming Haki presence.
Additionally, we also know that the Straw Hat crew is trying their best to escape from this island, but the Five Elders are still not ready to give up. They could end up using all of their strength to give a final major attack in an attempt to stop the Staw Hats. Their looming counterattack in One Piece Episode 1153 could threaten to turn the island into a full-scale battlefield, even as allies scramble to survive.
The preview also strongly suggests that Emet, the Iron Giant, will play a major role in One Piece Episode 1153. Activated by Joy Boy’s presence, Emet’s actions could finally shed light on his origin and purpose. Fans are expecting answers or at least new questions about the ancient technology tied to the Void Century.
