One Piece Anime Streams New 5-Minute Original Episode
posted on by Joanna Cayanan
The official YouTube channel of the One Piece franchise started streaming on Sunday a five-minute original anime episode featuring Luffy and Trafalgar Law. The episode was first screened on the second day of the "MBS Anime Fest 2025" event on Sunday.
The original episode's story is set after the decisive battles in Wano Country, and tells a story that no one knows about.
Yasunori Koyama (1999 One Piece series director, One Piece Episode of Sabo episode director) directed the original episode at Toei Animation, and drew the storyboard. Tomohiro Nakayama (1999 One Piece, One Piece 3D2Y: Overcoming Ace's Death! Luffy's Pledge to His Friends, One Piece Episode of East Blue: Luffy to 4-nin no Nakama no Daibōken, One Piece: Episode of Skypiea specials) wrote the script, and Midori Matsuda (1999 One Piece) designed the characters.
The One Piece anime will resume the ongoing Egghead arc in April.
The abridged 21-episode "One Piece Log: Fish-Man Island Saga" anime is currently airing, and debuted on November 3 after a delay.
The second live-action season of One Piece is currently in development, as is The One Piece remake anime at Wit Studio for Netflix.
