Expectations are sky-high for the return of the Egghead One Piece anime . Episode 1123 has received a trailer and an official release 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 poised to destroy everything. Even wounded, Garp doesn't give up and devises a plan, relying on Koby, Grus, and Helmeppo to turn the tide.
Garp's firm stance reignites Koby's determination, who, despite his fear, finds the courage to face Pizarro head-on. However, a flashback reveals that Koby underwent intense training in secret—proof of how committed he is to his growth.
With a powerful and precise attack, the Honesty Impact , Koby manages to destroy Pizarro's gigantic hand, turning the tide of battle. With Grus's help, the marines manage to escape. Koby returns as a hero to the navy ship. Garp, on the other hand, chooses to stay behind—determined to face Kuzan alone.
The episode ends with a poignant connection to the initial dilemma. Now, Garp is the "old man" who makes the sacrifice to protect the new generation—especially Koby.
