As per the leak from OP Spoilers, the series’ television anime adaptation is set to get a new opening theme song and visual sequence sometime in the coming weeks.

As mentioned above, this new has got many fans suspecting that the theme song’s animation sequence will be representative of both the arc’s conclusion and what’s next for the series.
Moreover, based on OP Spoilers’ claim, fans believe that the new opening “is visually magnificent,” just like the series’ most recent anime openings. Many are also questioning whether or not Luffy’s impending Gear 5 power up could be a part of the intro sequence, with OP Spoilers’ tweet featuring a picture of the powerup.
In any case, fans will find this out in a few weeks, with the episode set to debut sometime in mid-August 2023. Likewise, the Gear 5 powerup will debut in the anime series by then, assuming no production delays or unexpected breaks will be happening on Toei Animation’s end.
As for the series’ manga, fans are patiently waiting for the one-month hiatus to officially conclude in just over a week on Monday, July 17, 2023 at 12 am JST. For those who like spoilers, the process for the upcoming chapter 1087 should begin on Monday, July 10, with hints from lead series leaker Redon and other prominent sources.
The reason for One Piece’s one-month hiatus stems from Oda needing to get eye surgery to help his astigmatism, which he has been struggling with over the past year. While fans were initially dismayed by the hiatus, they eventually took the seriousness of Oda’s medical situation.
