One Piece Episode 1148: Release Date, Countdown, and Preview

One Piece Episode 1148 will finally give some details related to the Void Century. It will feature how Joyboy fought against the World Government 900 years ago. On top of that, Vegapunk will also reveal the reason behind the recent calamities shaking the One Piece world.

The previous episode received several complaints from the fans online regarding its pacing, but that seems to have been fixed now, as Episode 1148 will adapt two manga chapters instead of one. So, let’s take a look at what Episode 1148 has in store and when it will be released.

Episode 1147 marked a turning point in the Egghead Island Arc. The episode focused on Dr. Vegapunk’s world-shaking broadcast, where he began to reveal forbidden truths about the hidden history of the world. The Five Elders desperately tried to shut it down, but the Straw Hat crew, unintentionally or not, kept getting in their way.

We were also treated to the long-awaited Sanji moment, as he heroically saved Bonney and Franky from Nusjuro, one of the Five Elders. While the animation was not as spectacular as earlier Egghead highlights, it was emotional nonetheless.

Throughout the episode, we see reactions from across the One Piece world, with familiar faces returning as global chaos spreads and Vegapunk declares the world itself is sinking. Vegapunk warned of an approaching disaster that could raise sea levels and submerge islands around the world.

What Will Happen in One Piece Episode 1148?

Titled “The Lost History — Joy Boy, The First Pirate,” Episode 1148 will continue Vegapunk’s broadcast, unveiling the lost secrets of the Void Century. This episode is set to cover two chapters from the manga, Chapter 1114 and 1115.

In the following broadcast, Vegapunk will claim that a catastrophic event 1,000 years ago sank the ancient world beneath the sea, an unnatural disaster he believes was caused by the Ancient Weapons. 

His revelation shakes not only the Marines but also people across the world, from Mock Town to Fish-Man Island. This episode should finally introduce Joy Boy’s true identity, the man who once opposed the founders of the World Government, the “Allied Powers” of twenty kingdoms.

Vegapunk’s words suggest that Joy Boy wasn’t just a symbol of freedom but actually the first man to sail as a pirate, directly relating him to the origins of Nika and Luffy’s inherited will.

Meanwhile, Saturn continues to push forward with his rampage on Egghead Island, heading straight for the Mother Flame, the mysterious energy source tied to Vegapunk’s inventions. Luffy, now in Gear Fifth, will clash with Warcury while the Iron Giant holds off Marine attacks.

As chaos engulfs the island, the episode will reveal Joy Boy’s war, the collapse of the ancient kingdom, and why the World Government fears this truth more than anything.
