However, Toei Animation later confirmed that they are putting One Piece anime on a hiatus for an indefinite period of time. Toei Animation confirmed that the reason behind this delay is the unauthorized access of the studio’s in-house network by a third party on March 6th, 2022.
Toei Animation has produced One Piece since 1999 and has made a staggering over 1000 episodes. One Piece remains one of the most popular animes in the history of the art form and a huge success for the studio.
Both the One Piece manga and anime are going on a break, but fans won't have to wait too long for their favorite series to resume. Even with the coming and going of several new hit series over the years, One Piece has remained one of the most popular manga and anime properties in both Japan and the West.
Episode 1014 of One Piece was scheduled to release worldwide on Sunday, March 13th, 2022. The studio then announced on their official website that the episode would release next week on March 20th. However, Toei Animation later confirmed that they are putting One Piece anime on a hiatus for an indefinite period of time.
The One Piece anime getting delayed now gives people who haven't watched it even more of a reason to since they'll now be able to get caught up that much sooner
