One Piece Episode 1135, titled “To the Sea Where My Father Is! The Future Bonney Chooses,” premiered on Crunchyroll on Sunday, July 6, 2025, at 8:45 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST), 11:45 AM Eastern Standard Time (EST), and 4:45 PM British Summer Time (BST). The episode became available on Netflix a week later. This installment continues to delve into Bartholomew Kuma’s emotional backstory, a narrative arc that has deeply resonated with fans.
Plot and Narrative Focus
Episode 1135 shifts its focus to Jewelry Bonney and her determined quest to find her father, Kuma. The preceding episode, “Cruel Fate – Kuma’s Decision as a Father” (Episode 1134), depicted the World Government, specifically Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, exploiting Kuma’s profound love for Bonney. Saturn imposed three harsh conditions on Kuma in exchange for Bonney’s treatment for Sapphire Scales: Kuma had to become a Shichibukai, undergo the process of becoming a human weapon, and ultimately surrender his humanity and free will. Despite Vegapunk’s objections, Kuma agreed to these terms, prioritizing Bonney’s survival above all else, even requesting that Bonney remain unaware of his sacrifice.
With Bonney now cured of her disease after six months, Episode 1135 explores her journey as she sets out to locate her father. The episode is anticipated to highlight Bonney’s motivations, the emotional weight of Kuma’s sacrifice, and potentially include flashbacks that contrast her current resolve with memories of Kuma. It is expected to push the timeline closer to the ongoing Egghead Arc, showing how Bonney’s quest eventually leads her to the current crisis on Egghead Island. The narrative is moving towards the conclusion of Kuma’s extensive flashback, paving the way for the anime to return its focus to the present events involving Saint Jaygarcia Saturn, Kizaru, and the Marines on Egghead Island.
Streaming Availability
As with previous One Piece episodes, Episode 1135 is available for streaming on Crunchyroll and Netflix. Crunchyroll offers the episode with Japanese audio and subtitles in various languages, including English. New episodes of the Egghead Arc are released weekly on Crunchyroll on Sundays, with Netflix typically airing them on Saturdays, a week after their Crunchyroll debut.
