Episode 1144 is expected to adapt Chapter 1110 of the manga, one of the most talked-about moments of the Egghead arc. The major highlight will be the summoning of the remaining Gorosei: Marcus Mars, Topman Warcury, Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, and Shepherd Ju Peter.
Their arrival marks a massive escalation — for the first time, the full might of the Five Elders will be present on the battlefield. These figures are not just government officials but the highest-ranking Celestial Dragons, with authority second only to Imu. Their mysterious powers, combined with their political influence, make them arguably the most dangerous enemies the Straw Hats have ever faced.
With Vegapunk’s broadcast still counting down, the Straw Hats are caught in a desperate struggle: defend the scientist’s final message while battling five near-unkillable foes. This double layer of tension is why many fans believe the Egghead arc may go down as one of the greatest sagas in One Piece history.
Another anticipated highlight is the reappearance of Dorry and Brogy, the giant warriors from Little Garden. Their arrival on Egghead is both a nostalgic moment and a turning point in the battle. Though it remains to be seen if Episode 1144 will showcase their full fighting power, their first animated appearance in years is expected to be a major crowd-pleaser.
One Piece Episode 1144: The Worst Nightmare — The Five Elders Come Together is set to be a landmark moment for the anime. With Vincent Chansard reportedly leading the animation for this episode, fans can expect top-tier visuals to match the dramatic events.
Between Luffy’s unpredictable Gear 5 antics, the world-shaking presence of the Gorosei, and the suspense of Vegapunk’s broadcast, this episode is a must-watch. The only question left is whether the Straw Hats can hold the line long enough for Vegapunk’s message to be heard around the world.
