The delay in the broadcast of episode 1123 of One Piece was due to Toei Animation Studio's " special " plan. On October 20th, 2024, the 25th anniversary of One Piece was celebrated. Toei Animation Studio decided to broadcast a special film," One Piece Fan Letter," directed by animator Megumi Ishigani. The project would show the crew's story through the eyes of ordinary people. At the same time, Morikeisuke would also direct the short film. Both artists were members of the production team for the 1015th episode of One Piece. Therefore, the new One Piece 25th anniversary special episode replaced One Piece episode 1123 when it was broadcast on October 20th.
One Piece had stopped broadcasting from October 2024 to April 2025, so today (November 10th, 2024) was a period of suspension.
It was true. One Piece animation would stop broadcasting for half a year from October 27, 2024, and was expected to resume broadcasting in April 2025.
The One Piece animation stopped airing from October 2024 to April 2025, not for a week. During the hiatus, a specially edited version of the Fishmen Island chapter would be released. The lighting and painting content would be redone, and the original 50-plus episodes would be compressed to 20-plus episodes. The official reasons for the suspension included the serious impact of the epidemic on the work progress of the animation production team, the fierce competition in the animation industry, the need to adjust the strategy and optimization of the production process, the long-term criticism of the animation plot and the problem of the update rhythm, etc. During the hiatus period, the 25th anniversary work "One Piece Fan Letter" had already been broadcast on October 20, and the Egg Head Island chapter (Brahma Island film) had been stopped on October 27. On September 27, 2024, an upgraded version of the original film had been broadcast or would be broadcast soon.
One Piece animation would stop airing from October 27, 2024 to April 2025. The main reasons for the suspension were copyright disputes. The conflict between the copyright party and the broadcasting platform was sharp. The cooperation agreement was about to expire. The copyright party wanted to increase the authorization fee, which was difficult for the broadcasting platform to bear. The negotiations between the two parties did not reach a compromise. The copyright party temporarily suspended the provision of updated content to pressure the broadcasting platform. The second was production adjustments. One Piece had been released for more than 20 years, and the production team was faced with the dual challenges of maintaining high quality and improving production efficiency. As animation production technology developed and the audience's aesthetic standards improved, the production team constantly tried new production techniques and expressions, which required more time and resources to invest, affecting the update progress. Therefore, during the period of suspension, the production process would be sorted out and optimized to improve the quality and efficiency of subsequent animations. During the off-air period, the remake of " Fishmen Island " will be available from October 27, 2024. The picture quality will be enhanced, and the sound effects will be produced with Dolby Atmos. The OP will be a version of " We Go " by the people of the straw hat gang. The new ED will be sung by Be: First, and the ED song will be " Sailing." There will be some changes to the replay of One Piece's Egg Head Island chapter, and more details will be announced at the JUMP Festa event in December 2025.
The One Piece manga started in 1997 and new chapters have been released periodically since then. There's no fixed schedule for each release as it depends on various factors like the author's creativity and editorial processes.
One Piece officially announced that the animation would stop broadcasting for half a year, starting in October 2024 and resuming in April 2025. During the hiatus, an enhanced version of the Fishmen Island animation will be played. In April 2025, the rebroadcast of the Egg Head Island chapter will continue with the incident of the straw hat gang caged in the city, and the broadcast time will be changed. More details about the animation will be announced at JUMP FESTA2025 in December.

The One Piece animation stopped broadcasting from October 2024 to April 2025 for half a year.
One Piece had been off the air for half a year since October 2024. As of October 30, 2024, it had already been off the air for a few days. Half a year was about 183 days, so it still needed to be off the air for 183 -(31 - 27 + 30)= 149 days (the number of days off in October was calculated as 31 - 27, and 30 days in November).
