One Piece is reaching the climax of its latest mini-arc of sorts with episode #1158, and sure enough, it left plenty to be excited for episode #1159 and beyond. The overall direction of the Elbaph arc has yet to be revealed, but if everything that’s been delivered so far is just the prologue, then the true story is bound to be incredible.
Luffy and his friends continued their expedition through their mysterious new locale in search of answers, eventually pushing them to confront the mysterious ruler known as the Sun God, but as that unfolded, it soon became clear that things were not what they seemed and were somehow even crazier than they could have imagined. Everything escalated in an utterly bizarre way, but in typical One Piece fashion, that didn’t make it any less fun to see.
What Time One Piece Episode 1159 Releases
As with previous episodes, the One Piece anime streams new episodes weekly on Crunchyroll and Netflix, which can be accessed through their apps, websites, or third-party websites like Amazon Prime. Assuming there are no delays, One Piece episode #1159 should premiere on Crunchyroll on Sunday, April 26 at 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST), 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST), and 5:00 PM British Summer Time (BST), with the same episode debuting the following Saturday on Netflix, as well.
What Happened In One Piece Episode 1158?
One-Piece-Episode-1158-Sun-God
One Piece episode #1158, “A Quest in the Land of Mystery! The Secret of the Sun God”, picked up where episode #1159 left off, with Luffy’s group heading to a nearby town for answers. As they did, they ran into a man riding a giant grasshopper who told them they were in the “Land of the Gods” ruled by the Sun God and his animal servants. The man also warned them to turn back because the Sun God’s temple, protected by fearsome guardians, was down their path, but that just made Luffy run that way in search of adventure.
As Luffy ran off toward the temple, he ran into an invisible wall that shattered and revealed a netted door; the wall, as it turned out, was a giant mirror, and the Land of the Gods was nothing but a diorama owned by a giant. The Straw Hats exited the diorama to investigate further, and while they were reunited with Chopper, they also drew the attention of a giant snake, a giant bird, and three giant mice, thus forcing them into another fight.
One Piece’s Creator Is Making One Big Mistake With The Ending, and Elbaph Is Proof
Recent arcs have included stunning One Piece revelations that fans have waited decades to see, but the manga’s presentation of the story has changed.
While the animals were quickly dealt with, it wasn’t long before the Sun God appeared and went into a rampage at seeing his pets hurt and his room on fire. The Straw Hats retreated into the diorama and forced the giant cat to be their steed in a surprise encounter, and Nami revealed that she had found a map to the exit. That soon became their destination, but unfortunately, the Sun God had entered the diorama to chase after them, thus bringing the episode to a close.
One Piece’s Latest Adventure Feels Classic In The Best Of Ways
One-Piece-Episode-1158-Nami
Just like with One Piece episode #1157, One Piece episode #1158 excels in how much it feels like a classic One Piece adventure; not only are the stakes relatively low for the time being as the story focuses on a bizarre new adventure, but it’s all perfectly complemented by great action and animation and stellar comedy, as well. Many fans have lamented the loss of real adventures in modern One Piece, and so far, the Elbaph arc is more than rectifying that.

01
Monkey D. Luffy is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and dreams of becoming King of the Pirates. He gained his signature stretching abilities by eating a Devil Fruit as a child. What was this fruit originally believed to be called?
✓ Correct! The Gomu Gomu no Mi (Gum-Gum Fruit) was what Luffy’s Devil Fruit was believed to be — a Paramecia-type fruit that turned his body into rubber. Luffy accidentally ate it from the treasure chest of the Red Hair Pirates when he was a child in Foosha Village.
✗ That answer missed like a Gum-Gum Pistol in a storm! The answer is the Gomu Gomu no Mi. The Mera Mera no Mi is the Flame-Flame Fruit eaten by Ace, the Bara Bara no Mi is Buggy’s Chop-Chop Fruit, and the Hana Hana no Mi is Robin’s Flower-Flower Fruit.
02
The One Piece world is divided by a massive geological formation that runs around the entire globe, separating the oceans. What is this continent-like structure called?
✓ Correct! The Red Line is a massive continent that circles the globe vertically, dividing the world’s oceans into four seas: North Blue, South Blue, East Blue, and West Blue. It intersects with the Grand Line at two points, including the holy land of Mary Geoise.
✗ That answer missed like a Gum-Gum Pistol in a storm! The answer is the Red Line. The Grand Line is the ocean route where pirates compete, the Calm Belt is a windless sea surrounding it full of Sea Kings, and Reverse Mountain is the entry point to the Grand Line. The Red Line is the massive continent dividing the world.
03
In the One Piece world, there is a spiritual power that allows users to sense others’ presence, predict attacks, and even exert their willpower over others. What is this power called?
✓ Correct! Haki is a mysterious power that exists in every living being in the One Piece world. It comes in three types: Observation Haki (sensing), Armament Haki (invisible armor), and the rare Conqueror’s Haki (dominating willpower), which only one in a million people possess.
✗ That answer missed like a Gum-Gum Pistol in a storm! The answer is Haki. Chakra is the energy system from Naruto, Nen is from Hunter x Hunter, and Ki is from Dragon Ball. Haki is One Piece’s unique power system with three distinct forms: Observation, Armament, and Conqueror’s.
04
The Seven Warlords of the Sea (Shichibukai) were powerful pirates who worked for the World Government in exchange for pardons. Which of these characters was NOT one of the original Seven Warlords?
✓ Correct! Kaido was never a Warlord — he was one of the Four Emperors (Yonko), the most powerful pirates ruling the New World. Known as “the Strongest Creature in the World,” Kaido ruled over Wano Country with the Beast Pirates. Mihawk, Crocodile, and Doflamingo were all Warlords.
✗ That answer missed like a Gum-Gum Pistol in a storm! The answer is Kaido. Mihawk (the world’s greatest swordsman), Crocodile (the desert king of Alabasta), and Doflamingo (the Heavenly Demon) were all Warlords. Kaido was a Yonko — an Emperor of the Sea — a rank above the Warlords entirely.
05
The Marineford War arc is considered one of the most emotional and pivotal arcs in One Piece. Luffy desperately fought to save someone important to him from execution. Who was Luffy trying to save?
✓ Correct! Portgas D. Ace, Luffy’s sworn older brother, was captured by the Marines and sentenced to public execution at Marineford. Luffy broke into Impel Down prison and then stormed Marineford itself in a desperate attempt to save Ace, leading to one of the most heartbreaking moments in anime history.
✗ That answer missed like a Gum-Gum Pistol in a storm! The answer is Portgas D. Ace. Nico Robin was rescued during the Enies Lobby arc, Zoro is rarely in that kind of danger, and Sabo was believed dead at the time.

06
Roronoa Zoro is the first member to join Luffy’s crew and serves as the Straw Hats’ swordsman. He has a unique fighting style. How many swords does Zoro wield in his signature technique?

✗ That answer missed like a Gum-Gum Pistol in a storm! The answer is three. Zoro’s signature Santoryu (Three Sword Style) involves wielding one sword in each hand and gripping the third in his mouth. While he can fight with one or two swords, his three-sword technique is his most iconic and powerful combat form.

They command all military and political power, including the authority to order a Buster Call. Their true nature and abilities have only recently been revealed in the series.
