The One Piece anime has hit the pause button at a nail-biting moment, leaving the beloved Monkey D. Garp hanging by a thread. We find ourselves deep in the Egghead Arc, a crucial part of the Final Saga, setting the stage for the epic conclusion we’ve all been waiting for. Following Episode 1122, the anime has taken a break, with new episodes slated to return in April 2025.
In recent episodes, all eyes have been on Garp as he embarks on a daring mission to rescue his comrade Koby from the clutches of the notorious Blackbeard. While Koby’s safety was secured, Garp finds himself in a dire predicament. The battle on Beehive Island started off with a display of Garp’s unparalleled strength, only to take a treacherous turn. Waves of pirates swarmed in, and Garp found himself face to face with Kuzan, a formidable former Marine admiral who could rival his might. In a heart-stopping moment, Garp selflessly shielded Koby from a lethal blow, sustaining a grave injury in the process.
Despite the excruciating pain of his stomach wound, Garp valiantly soldiers on. With his dwindling strength, he ensures the safe escape of Koby and the remaining Marines, urging them to leave him behind. As Garp lies wounded and alone, Blackbeard’s crew closes in on him. The scene fades to black with Garp’s laughter echoing, leaving his fate hanging in the balance.
The abrupt hiatus only adds to the mounting tension, leaving fans in a state of agonizing suspense until April 2025 when the anime resumes. Toei Animation has labeled this hiatus as a “charging period,” hinting at the electrifying comeback awaiting fans. The burning question on everyone’s mind is whether Garp emerges victorious from this harrowing showdown or if this marks the end of the road for the legendary Marine.
As the One Piece anime remains on pause, the unresolved climax of the Egghead Arc hangs heavy in the air. Garp’s uncertain destiny has become the focal point of anticipation, with months of anticipation ahead before the story picks up again. The prolonged wait only heightens the excitement for what lies ahead in the final saga, especially with Garp’s very existence on the line.
