One Piece episode #1165 was a surprisingly slow episode for the series, but even then, it left plenty to be excited about for episode #1166 and beyond. The Elbaph arc probably isn’t moving at the pace people expected or hoped it would, but that doesn’t make it any less exciting, and with what’s planned for the next few episodes, that should be more apparent than ever.
Following Robin and Saul’s reunion, things remained very peaceful for the Straw Hats as they continued exploring Elbaph, and they even finally got the big feast they were promised, as well. As they did, though, mysterious forces moved with a hidden agenda underneath everyone’s noses, with Shanks, of all people, seemingly involved with it, and it all spelled a bad omen for Elbaph, despite how much of a good time everyone was having.
What Time One Piece Episode 1166 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 #1166 should premiere on Crunchyroll on Sunday, June 14 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 1165?
One-Piece-Robin-Franky-Brook-New-Outfits
In One Piece episode #1165, “A Welcome with Friends’ Cups and Intruders Seeking Loki”, Luffy and Usopp remained disappointed by how passive the giant children were, although Usopp could at least admit it wasn’t a bad thing. At that moment, though, another child, Collun, came at Luffy with a sneak attack to test his strength as an Emperor, and Luffy was happy to see that not all the kids were spineless, although Sanji was more focused on the shock that Collun was Ripley’s son and had a human father.
One Piece’s Next Big Break Is Almost Here, And It’s Hinting At A Truly Massive Cliffhanger
As One Piece prepares for a long break, the series is nearing an epic moment that would make for an excellent season finale for Elbaph’s first cour.
Following that, all the Straw Hats except Chopper, Robin, and Franky returned to the village for a big feast, although not before Gerd gave Robin, Franky, Brook, and Jimbei new Elbaph-themed outfits. At the feast, the giants praised the Straw Hats for saving Stansen from slavery at Sabaody Archipelago and for defeating Kaido and Big Mom, and the feast was even attended by Jarul, an ancient giant warrior who, much to Luffy’s disbelief, was completely unfazed by having a sword lodged in his skull.
As all of that was happening, the Shanks lookalike and his partner moved through Aurust Castle and demanded that a pair of guards tell them where Loki was. The guards refused to tell them because of Loki’s criminal status, but one of the villains launched a mysterious attack that made one of the guards keel over in pain, and the episode ended with her reiterating that she was ordering, not asking, for them to tell her where to find Loki.
One Piece’s Slowest Episode Is Still Incredibly Exciting
One-Piece-Episode-1165-Gunko
Overall, episode #1165 was probably the slowest episode of One Piece’s Elbaph arc to date. While there were plenty of fun moments with Luffy interacting with Collun and the rest of the Straw Hats getting their new outfits, not much actually happened beyond teasing the power and motives of the new villains. There are only a few episodes left before the anime goes on break again, so it’s disappointing to think that it might end without the arc really moving forward.

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. Ace’s execution at Marineford triggered an all-out war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines.
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.
07
The World Government in One Piece is controlled by a mysterious group of individuals who sit at the very top of its power structure, above even the Admirals and the Fleet Admiral. What are they called?

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.
✗ That answer missed like a Gum-Gum Pistol in a storm! The answer is the Five Elders (Gorosei). The Celestial Dragons are descendants of the founding kings but don’t rule directly, the Revolutionary Army opposes the government, and the Yonko are pirate emperors outside government control. The Gorosei sit at the absolute top.
08
It was revealed that Luffy’s Devil Fruit is not actually the Gomu Gomu no Mi, but a mythical Zoan-type fruit with a much more significant true name. What is the fruit’s real identity?
✓ Correct! The Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Sun God Nika is a Mythical Zoan-type fruit that the World Government had been hunting for 800 years. When Luffy awakened it during the Wano arc, he unlocked Gear 5 — gaining the power of “the most ridiculous ability in the world” with limitless imagination-based combat.
✗ That answer missed like a Gum-Gum Pistol in a storm! The answer is the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Sun God Nika. The Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix belongs to Marco, the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu was Kaido’s dragon fruit, and the Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Okuchi no Makami was Yamato’s fruit. Luffy’s true fruit is the legendary Sun God Nika.

Are you King of the Pirates — or still swabbing the deck?
That being said, with just how fun the character moments were and how consistently gorgeous episode #1165 looked, it was still very fun to watch from start to finish, and even among One Piece’s weaker episodes, it still stands out as one of the best. This might be a bit of a slow spell for the anime, but One Piece is still firing on all cylinders, and hopefully, episode #1166 will more than pick up the pace.
Be sure to watch One Piece episode #1166 when it releases on Sunday, June 14 on Crunchyroll.
