Last week the symbolic importance of the anime’s 1,015th episode was advanced “OnePiece”, and the production lived up to expectations. After rounding up Yamato’s story with Ace, she gives her father’s diary to Momonosuke and explains Oden’s prediction of how a new generation of pirates will defeat Kaido.

However, after three regularly aired episodes, the 1,016th chapter of the “One Piece” anime will not come out this week. The reason for the delay would be the Golden Week, the Japanese holiday that runs from April 29 to May 5. Due to this, the official Twitter of the series announced that, instead of a new episode, a special called “Barto’s Secret Room 2” will be broadcast in the country.
