One Piece Episode 1126 Release Date
Luffy Will Face Admiral Kizaru In Episode 1126
One Piece Episode 1126 will be released on July 28, 2025. It is titled “Looming Despair! Admiral Kizaru’s Depressing Mission.” As previously stated, the episode will focus on Admiral Kizaru as he takes on Luffy inside Labophase. Luffy and Kizaru’s fight holds a lot of importance, but it won’t be the first time they have come face-to-face. In fact, there is a lot of history between the two. Luffy has encountered Kizaru on two separate occasions.The first was on Sabaody Archipelago, whenthe Admiral was sent to the location to deal with the people responsible for the attack on the Celestial Dragon.
Kizaru’s landfall caused panic among the pirates and criminals, including the Supernovas. Kizaru was merciless, and he nearly wiped out Luffy’s entire crew. The pirate has to beg his crew members to run away from Kizaru. It is safe to say that without Rayleigh and Kuma’s help, the Straw Hat Pirates would have ceased to exist.
Luffy met Kizaru again in Marineford. The pirate went to theisland to rescue Portgas D. Ace from certain death. Kizaru did his part in the war, and he helped the Marines to win. Luffy and Kizaru didn’t fight in the arc, but the latter managed to injure the hero.
Third Time Has To Be The Charm
After failing twice, Luffy will want to verify he wins the third time. The biggest question will be whether Luffy has what it takes to emerge victorious. The short answer is yes. Luffy trained for two long years with Rayleigh and learned how to use all three types of Haki. With time, his control has improved further, and presently, he’s among the best Haki users in One Piece.
It’s actually incredible how Luffy canuse the advanced versions of all three Haki types. He can use Future Sight to foresee his opponent’s next move. With Ryou, Luffy can bypass the hard exterior of his enemies and damage them from within. Finally, with the advanced Conqueror’s Haki, Luffy can strengthen his attacks.

Luffy’s Devil Fruit is another potent weapon in his arsenal.The Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit allowshim to tap into the power of the Sun God, Nika. Luffy has spent years trying to master the power completely, and he finally achieved it in the Wano arc. By combining Haki with Devil Fruit, Luffy successfully defeated Kaido, who was presumed to be unbeatable.
The Admiral’s Kicks Still Pack A Punch
Luffy may be one of the Yonko, but Kizaru is no slouch either. He is a Marine with years of experience under his belt. Kizaru has carried out many high-level missions for the Marines, which is why the organization trusts him so much. Kizaru has the Pika Pika no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to manipulate light.
After decades of fighting,Kizaru has mastered his Devil Fruit, so he can come up with the most ingenious techniques to beat his opponents. The Admiral’s usage of Armament and Observation Haki is not bad either, as evidenced by his ability to bypass the guard of Sentomaru. Both fighters are armed with incredible abilities, so it will be a fantastic battle. Moreover, the winner of this fight will have a say in whether Vegapunk survives or not.
