Now that One Piece Episode 1142 is on Crunchyroll, you might be wondering: will there be another delay? Here’s the release date and time of the next episode, as well as details on what will happen next. Warning: spoilers ahead!

The One Piece anime, based on Eiichiro Oda’s manga series of the same name, is deep into the Egghead Arc right now. Episode 1142 sees Kizaru brutally stab Vegapunk through the chest. 

Gear 5 Luffy grows giant and grabs St. Saturn and Kizaru, vowing to not let them escape, while telling Sanji to run to the back of the island with Vegapunk. As the scientist dies, a computer in his lab activates, broadcasting his message to the entire world. 

But before it gets into it, the episode ends, meaning we’ll have to wait to see this message play out in the next installment. Find out exactly when to expect it, as well as what Episode 1143 is about.

How to watch it

The best place to stream all episodes of One Piece, including Egghead Arc Part 2, is on Crunchyroll. 

You can also watch the anime series on Netflix, although new episodes typically arrive around a week after their Crunchyroll debut. 

Netflix doesn’t have a free trial, but Crunchyroll does offer seven days free to new and eligible subscribers – but you may need a little more time if you plan to binge-watch every One Piece episode in one go.

If you’re an anime fan, Crunchyroll is well worth paying for given it’s got subbed and dubbed versions of all the best series. Right now, it costs between $7.99 and $15.99 per month, depending on which plan you choose. 

What is Episode 1143 about?

The next One Piece episode, titled ‘Vegapunk’s Secret Plan – A Tense Worldwide Broadcast’, will, unsurprisingly, deal with the scientist’s broadcast. 

In the manga, he reveals what he found out about the Void Century, a blank period of history which the World Government has forbidden to look into. 

The core of his broadcast is that the world is at risk, predicting a catastrophic man-made event that will raise sea levels and cause widespread sinking, echoing the great flood of the past.

It should come as no surprise that there are plenty of characters who don’t want the world to hear this message. 

In the One Piece Episode 1143 trailer, a narrator says, “A mysterious broadcast by Vegapunk suddenly begins. While confusion and panic sweep over the world, there are some who try to cut the broadcast. 

“When the untold truth of the world is revealed, St. Saturn’s ace in the hole poses a threat.”
