One Piece Episode 1145 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated moments of the Egghead Island arc.
Titled “Friends Fight Together! Luffy and the Warriors of Elbaph,” the episode promises an epic clash between the Straw Hat Pirates, the Five Elders (Gorosei), and the newly arrived giants of Elbaf.
Episode 1144 set the stage perfectly for this explosive battle. The Five Elders finally assembled on Egghead Island after Saturn completed the summoning ritual, allowing the remaining Gorosei to enter the fray.
Each Elder revealed their terrifying Devil Fruit transformation, turning the island into a scene of chaos. Nusjuro froze the Pacifista units, Ju Peter swallowed Luffy whole, and Marcus Mars moved to intercept Dr. Vegapunk’s broadcast.
Meanwhile, Zoro’s duel with Rob Lucci reached its breathtaking conclusion. Using his devastating three-sword style, Zoro defeated Lucci in one of the most visually stunning moments of the series so far. This victory freed Zoro to rejoin the fight, just as the stakes for Luffy were reaching their peak.
Episode 1145 will focus on the dramatic alliance between Luffy and the legendary Elbaf warriors Dorry and Brogy. Their thunderous arrival marks a turning point that could shift the tide of battle.
The giants’ immense strength and coordinated attacks are exactly the kind of support Luffy needs to stand against the overwhelming power of the Gorosei.
Saint Topman Warcury will take center stage with his Devil Fruit transformation into Fengxi, a massive boar with deadly tusks capable of destroying anything in his path.
Fans can expect jaw-dropping fight sequences as Luffy and the giants work together to counter Warcury and find a way to injure the seemingly invincible Gorosei.
This episode will not only advance the intense action on Egghead Island but also deepen the theme of ancient alliances. The appearance of Dorry and Brogy connects the current conflict to Elbaf’s history, hinting at a larger role for the giants in the future of the series.
One Piece Episode 1145 airs on September 28, 2025, at 11:15 PM JST (10:15 AM ET / 7:15 AM PT for international viewers).
Fans outside Japan can watch the episode on Crunchyroll, where it will be available with subtitles shortly after the Japanese broadcast. The platform supports multiple languages, making it easy for global fans to follow the action. Note that the episode will only have Japanese audio, as the English dub is still several episodes behind.
Following Episode 1145, the anime will go on a short break and is expected to return on October 19, 2025. This pause will prevent the anime from catching up too closely with Eiichiro Oda’s manga and maintain the pacing of the story.
With the Straw Hats cornered, the Five Elders unleashed, and Dorry and Brogy finally joining the fight, One Piece Episode 1145 is a must-watch for fans. The episode promises high-stakes action, emotional weight, and the first real glimpse of what an alliance between the Straw Hats and the giants of Elbaf looks like in battle.
This is more than just another fight — it’s the turning point of the Egghead Island arc and a setup for the next major saga in One Piece’s final story stretch
