One Piece continues to dominate the world of anime, manga, and live-action entertainment in 2025. With new manga chapters shaking the foundations of pirate history, the animeâs Egghead Arc back in action, and Netflix confirming both Season 2 and Season 3 of its live-action series, fans in Europe and around the globe have more reasons than ever to stay excited. Hereâs everything you need to know about the latest developments in the One Piece universe.
Manga: Rocksâ True Identity Revealed
One of the most talked-about events in recent manga chapters is the revelation about the infamous Rocks Pirates. In Chapter 1159, fans finally learned that Rocksâ real name is Davy D. Xebec, confirming long-standing theories about one of the most feared pirates in history. This revelation ties directly into the mysterious God Valley Incident, offering new insight into the legendary clash that shaped the balance of power decades ago.
With Chapter 1160 set for release on September 14, 2025, readers are eager to see how Eiichiro Oda will build on this shocking reveal. Following its release, the manga will go on a short two-week break, giving fans time to absorb these earth-shattering updates before the next chapter continues the saga.
Anime: Egghead Arc Resumes
The anime adaptation has returned to the highly anticipated Egghead Island Arc, which has been generating buzz worldwide. After a brief pause, new episodes are airing weekly, with Episode 1143 scheduled for release on September 14, 2025 via Crunchyroll.
For Netflix subscribers in Europe, there is typically a one-week delay, so episodes arrive slightly later than on Crunchyroll. Still, the quality of the adaptation and the dramatic developments on Egghead Island are keeping fans engaged.
