International audiences can stream the episode on Crunchyroll or Netflix after the episode airs in Japan. Netflix's decision to stream the Egghead Arc without major delay gives fans the flexibility to use either of the above two platforms to see the newest episode.

While Netflix is streaming the Egghead Arc weekly as it airs, it's unclear as of this article's writing whether or not the platform will stream future arcs in the final saga as well.

One Piece episode 1125 recap

One Piece episode 1125 began with Kizaru attacking Sentomaru, who stopped the former’s attack. However, the Marine Admiral followed this up by constantly cornering him and building speed until Sentomaru couldn’t track him anymore. Kizaru spent this time musing on his first time meeting him with Dr. Vegapunk when he was just a child. A flashback played out, seeing Vegapunk hire Sentomaru so the latter could eat rice balls, ending after this.

In the present, Kizaru grew annoyed with Sentomaru’s constant evasions, deciding to deliver a finishing blow after catching his former friend off guard. He then took Sentomaru’s Pacifista authority chip, ordering the Mark III units to attack the weaponized Sea Beasts. While the Straw Hats showed concern, the Vegapunk Satellites honored Sentomaru’s sacrifice by focusing on cracking the Frontier Dome defense system password.

Rob Lucci saw an opportunity to kill Dr. Vegapunk here, attempting to do so with a finger pistol; however, Stussy put herself between him and the genius scientist, saving his life. Zoro then attacked Lucci outside the lab while Sanji trapped Kaku inside a bubble. Kizaru then used his Devil Fruit to enter the Punk Records area, being spotted by the Straw Hats. The episode ended with Luffy confronting Kizaru, saying they had finally gotten 100 times stronger.

One Piece episode 1126 what to expect? (Speculative)

One Piece episode 1126 is all but guaranteed to open up with a continued focus on Luffy’s rematch with Kizaru. After parroting Kizaru's words to him at Sabaody Archipelago two years prior, Luffy will likely try to deliver a knockout blow quickly to prove a point. Unfortunately, Kizaru’s speed and reflexes should allow him to dodge this, but only narrowly so, further proving Luffy’s point.

Focus should then briefly shift to the Labo-Phase, where an update on Stussy’s condition should be given. Kaku will likely try to reason with Sanji and the Straw Hats, but to no avail, as a brief focus is given to the start of Zoro and Lucci’s fight. The episode should end by returning focus to Luffy versus Kizaru, who chose to go into Gear 5 in the final scenes.
