The previous episode delivered one of the most intense sequences of the Egghead Island arc to date. The arrival of the Five Elders had everyone in stunned silence. Sanji quickly warned Nami to leave as soon as possible, or escaping the island later would have become much harder.

Meanwhile, Luffy, alongside Dorry and Brogy, faced off against two of the terrifying Five Elders: Saturn and Warcury. Luffy’s cartoonish Gear 5 abilities met the brute force of the Elders’ Haki-infused attacks, which rattled the island to its core.

At the end of Episode 1145, Saturn orders the Marines to capture Bonney immediately. Just as things reach their peak, the Iron Giant suddenly awakens, calling out for Joyboy.

Final Thoughts on One Piece Episode 1146 Delay

Sure, waiting an extra week or two might be frustrating, but Toei Animation’s short break is likely an aim to sustain quality and avoid catching up to the manga of Eiichiro Oda. With how stunning the Egghead Island arc has been so far, this delay could just ensure that Episode 1146 has the level of animation and storytelling that One Piece deserves.

So, while there’s no new episode this week, it’ll definitely be worth waiting until October 19.
