Expectations are sky-high for the return of the Egghead One Piece anime . Episode 1123 has received a trailer and an official premiere date.
In the previous episode, 1122 begins with a flashback to Garp's training days with Koby and Helmeppo. During an intense lesson, Garp poses a moral dilemma: if you could only save one, would you choose an elderly person or a baby? However, back in the present, the situation on Beehive Island is critical. Koby and the Marines are surrounded by chaos, with Pizarro's colossal hand about to destroy everything. Even injured, Garp doesn't give up and devises a plan, relying on Koby, Grus, and Helmeppo to turn the tide.
Garp's firm stance rekindles Koby's determination, and despite his fear, he finds the courage to face Pizarro head-on. However, a flashback reveals that Koby underwent intense training in secret—a testament to his commitment to his growth.
With a powerful and accurate attack, Honesty Impact , Koby manages to destroy Pizarro's gigantic hand, turning the tide of the battle. With Grus's help, the Marines manage to escape. Koby returns to the Marine ship as a hero. Garp, on the other hand, chooses to stay behind—determined to face Kuzan alone.
The episode ends with a touching connection to the original dilemma. Now, Garp is the "old man" making the sacrifice to protect the younger generation—especially Koby.
