To fill in the long gap, a ‘Special Edited’ version of the Fish-Man Island arc will begin on October 27th and will run across the entire hiatus.
This take compresses the arc down by well over a half – to just 21 episodes – and will include retouched art, detailing, color shading, lighting, and special effects to previously animated scenes and adding Dolby Atmos sound.
Before that comes the “One Piece Fan Letter Special” which will air on October 20th.
