What Lies Ahead for the Straw Hats?
With Dr. Vegapunk now safe, the Straw Hats must act swiftly to evacuate the island.

The situation is further complicated by the presence of multiple Vice Admirals alongside Kizaru, significantly bolstering the Marine ranks.

Scheduled for release on April 13, 2025, One Piece Episode 1125, titled “A Clash of Two Men’s Determination! Kizaru and Sentomaru,”promises to deliver an exciting battle. A flashback in the previous episode hinted at a long history between the two characters, paving the way for an exploration of their backgrounds as well as their rivalry.
As the combat unfolds, viewers can anticipate high-quality animation and pacing that stays true to the essence of the original manga, balancing intensity with storyline developments.
Can Sentomaru Halt Kizaru?
The pressing question for fans is whether Sentomaru can effectively thwart Kizaru’s advance. Unfortunately, the consensus is that he cannot. While Sentomaru is a capable fighter, Kizaru possesses an extraordinary advantage due to his Pika Pika no Mi powers, which enable him to manipulate light to devastating effect. His speed makes him a formidable opponent, complicating Sentomaru’s defensive efforts.
Sentomaru is equipped with both Armament and Observation Haki, showcasing his skills as a fighter. Nevertheless, Kizaru’s mastery of Armament Haki Emission likely surpasses that of Sentomaru, suggesting that Kizaru will likely gain the upper hand in their impending conflict.
Preparation for Luffy’s Showdown with Kizaru
Once Kizaru overcomes Sentomaru, fans can eagerly await a highly anticipated encounter between Kizaru and Luffy. Their previous confrontations at Sabaody and Marineford showcased Kizaru’s dominance; however, Luffy is now equipped with advanced skills thanks to his mastery of all three types of Haki and improved control over his Devil Fruit abilities.
Luffy’s primary advantage in this imminent battle will be his use of Advanced Conqueror’s Haki, amplifying the strength of his attacks. Despite this, Kizaru’s extensive experience in combat cannot be underestimated, and he will certainly be prepared to leverage it to his advantage.
Mark your calendars for April 13, 2025, when Episode 1125 of One Piece premieres, available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
