The Egghead Island arc in One Piece is proving its worth as one of the best arcs in the entire series by giving fans some of the most shocking elements in both anime and manga. While the narrative of the manga is moving ahead of the anime, the TV series is making up for it with the help of great animation and voice acting by the actors.

The most recent example of this is One Piece episode 1109, which was released on June 22, 2024. The episode is probably one of the best episodes in the entire One Piece anime, as it not only re-introduces the Red-Haired Pirates in Elbaf, it also shows the fight between the Seraphin, S-Hawk, and Luffy, along with Zoro as they protect Kaku and Lucci.
The One Piece episode has shocked the entire anime world, as it features some of the rarest moments in history. These moments feature Zoro doing hand-to-hand combat and Luffy getting humiliated in a fight against S-Hawk. Also, they deliver the most unexpected team-up, with Luffy and Zoro collaborating with Lucci and Kaku to beat the Seraphim.
One Piece Episode 1109 Features the Most Unexpected Moment
One Piece Episode 1109 starts with the Straw Hat Pirates and Vegapunk’s satellites finding out that they can no longer control the Seraphim as they are hellbent on destroying everyone. While the other crew members deal with S-Snake and S-Shark, Luffy and Zoro find themselves fighting against S-Hawk and S-Bear, while they also try to save the handcuffed CP0 agents.
Zoro’s previous fight with S-Hawk made it look like Zoro might have a chance against the Seraphim, but in the current episode, Zoro discovers that S-Hawk has additional abilities, one of which is the power of Dice-Dice fruit, which was previously used by Daz Bonez, one of the strongest members of the former Baroque Works.

These newfound powers prove to be difficult for not only Zoro but also Luffy. While Zoro tries to beat S-Hawk in hand-to-hand combat, Luffy also tries to attack S-Hawk simultaneously, but Seraphim keeps dodging Luffy’s attack. This feels a little humiliating, as Luffy right now is currently at his strongest, and ideally, he should be able to land an attack on S-Hawk.
The Anime World is in Shock
The latest addition to the One Piece anime series has introduced some of the most unique moments in the history of Eiichiro Oda’s magnum opus. These fights in the manga series were underrated, but as soon as they got animated, they took the anime world by storm.

Many prominent One Piece fan accounts took to X to express their shock at the latest One Piece episode.
Other fans also expressed their excitement for the anime series and are eagerly waiting for the next episode, which will probably be even better.

The dynamic framing and camera motion during fights really has evolved into something special over the years. We could've been alive during any point in history, but we're alive in this point in time to witness greatness!🔥💯
