Fans are looking forward to watching One Piece Episode 1154 as the story of the Egghead Island arc is about to finish. This means that it is closer to the beginning of Elbaf. This upcoming episode is going to be the second last episode before this series stops with the weekly schedule model. While this seems like sad news, Toei Animation will have sufficient time to work on the upcoming arc and continue to deliver quality animation.
Since the story has entered the Final Saga, the animation studio has produced new perfect episodes, and the proof to back it up is the ratings they have lately been getting. While One Piece Episode 1154 is going to be the second last installment, and then we will have a break for some time, fans believe that this finale of Egghead is going to be undoubtedly memorable.
According to official sources, it is confirmed that One Piece Episode 1154 will release on December 21, 2025. This show can be watched on multiple streaming platforms like Crunchyroll and Netflix. Anime-only fans of this show can also pick up the manga as it is available to read digitally on Shueisha Manga Plus and Viz Media.
Recap of Episode 1153

One Piece Episode 1153 shows us the climax of the Egghead Island arc. The episode starts with Bonney and Luffy teaming up to fight against Saturn. His body collapses, but it begins regenerating. Meanwhile, the Star Hats and Giant Warrior Pirates briefly celebrate survival. On the other hand, Bonney has an emotional moment before she attacks those demons who made her family suffer, while Kuma silently watches with a faint smile.
Vegapunk confirms that the one who finds One Piece will have the fate of the world in their hands. The episode has a cut scene where we see different characters reacting to this information. However, the true turning point in this episode comes from Emet, the Iron Giant. After centuries of silence, Emet unties the “knot” Joyboy sealed within him, releasing Joyboy’s stored Conqueror’s Haki, preserved for 800 years. The result is catastrophic.
The power itself is so strong that it is felt by everyone. Including Imu, as it felt the presence. But this idea worked, and things concluded. The Starw Hats unite, and they are revealed they be alive. Episode 1153 also gave us a small flashback between Joyboy and Emet; it is wholesome and bittersweet, and with that, the episode comes to an end.
What to expect from One Piece Episode 1154? (Speculative)

Unlike the chaos of Episode 1153, One Piece Episode 1154 is expected to focus on the aftermath and consequences. Here is a list of possible plotlines this upcoming episode could cover:
- One Piece Episode 1154 will likely dive deeper into Vegapunk’s secret plan, especially the mysterious two-week gap before the Egghead Incident. This is where Vegapunk realized York’s betrayal and the World Government’s true intentions. Rather than dying as a victim, Episode 1154 will frame Vegapunk as a man who knowingly sacrificed himself to ignite global change.
- Or the world’s reaction will take center stage. Pirates are now fully mobilized, with four crews clearly positioned as frontrunners: the Straw Hats, Red Hair Pirates, Blackbeard Pirates, and Cross Guild. Each represents a different future, and One Piece Episode 1154 may reinforce that ideological divide.
Finally, One Piece Episode 1154 will officially clear the path to Elbaf. While the giants’ homeland may not be fully explored yet, the Straw Hats are finally free to sail forward, carrying the weight of Egghead’s sacrifices with them.
