These are all interesting titles that have fans hyped up for upcoming fights that take place in the War for Wano story arc. But could this mean we will finally get to see the animated version of Robin's fight against Black Maria? We'll have to wait for what will happen in Episode 1016 to get an idea of the pacing first.

The One Piece anime isn't the only part of the franchise that is on a roll right now. Fans are also hyped up for One Piece Film: RED in August since it will introduce Red Haired Shanks' daughter Uta. In addition to that, there are speculations that there will be major updates on the One Piece live-action series during Netflix Geeked Week in June.
