The New York Comic Con 2025 treated us with an exciting preview of what’s in store in One Piece Episode 1146. The sneak peek showed Luffy going up against the high-ranking World Government official, Warcury, using his classic Gomu Gomu no Red Roc attack. We were also treated to a first look at the Straw Hat Pirates in their Elbaf attire. It won’t be long before we reach the Elbaf arc in the anime. But first, let’s take a look at what these exclusives reveal.
What Was Shown at NYCC 2025 for One Piece
In the exclusive clip shown at NYCC, we see Warcury charging toward Luffy in his monstrous form, shaking the whole battlefield. Luffy, still in his Gear 5 form, fires back with the Red Roc attack right into Warcury’s head.
Here’s the surprising part: it barely fazes Warcury. His head proves far tougher than expected, forcing Luffy to momentarily pull back, though he laughs it off. Meanwhile, the giant friends, Dorry and Brogy, are getting ready for the next massive attack.
The fight continues immediately after the chaos of Episode 1145, where everyone was scrambling to escape. Luffy, Dorry, and Brogy stayed behind to face off against two of the Elders, Saturn and Warcury. This Red Roc scene is one of the major highlights as the Egghead arc approaches its climax.
In the next panel, Toei unveiled the art designs for the Elbaf arc, showcasing the Straw Hat Pirates in their new warrior outfits. The designs closely match the manga version, and we’re only a few episodes away from seeing the Straw Hats don them in the anime.
