One Piece Episode 1040 is just around the corner, as the Alliance is yet to defeat the Beast Pirates. The previous episode animated Chapters 1017 and 1018, so it still has a considerable gap with the manga. Since only less than 40 chapters remain for Wano, you should stay updated by watching One Piece Episode 1040.
There’s a lot to look forward to in the Wano arc. However, Luffy is still recovering from his battle with Kaido, so it’ll take some time before he can fight again. Furthermore, there are also some Tobi Roppo members and All-Stars who’re yet to be beaten. If you’re set on watching the next episode, here’s the air date of One Piece Episode 1040, along with its release times and plot.

One Piece Episode 1040 Plot
Unfortunately, Episode 1040’s official plot is yet to be revealed. Still, we can look at the next episode’s preview to get a general idea of Episode 1040. Before we analyze the preview, here’s a quick recap of the last episode.
“Hearing Otama’s command, the Gifters side with the samurai and upset the Tobi Roppo and others! Chopper starts to take care of Zoro while suffering from the side effect of the enhanced Rumble Ball. Meanwhile, Jimbei gets stunned by Who’s-Who’s story.”
Based on the preview, the next episode will mainly focus on the battle between Jimbei and Who’s-Who. With Who’s-Who revealing his past, Jimbei has to stop him from getting revenge on Luffy. As the helmsman of the Straw Hats and a former Warlord, it looks like the next episode will show Jimbei’s loyalty and power.
Where to Watch One Piece Episode 1040
Crunchyroll is still the ideal website to watch One Piece. Since it uses simulcast, other countries can watch the latest One Piece episode on the same day as the Japan release. It’s also the only streaming service that offers the most recent One Piece episodes.
However, Crunchyroll doesn’t support all regions, so you might need a VPN. You can also watch it on other websites, such as Bilibili if you’re from Asia. Moreover, the latest One Piece episodes only have Japanese dubs since the English dub has yet to catch up. If you prefer dubbed anime over the subbed versions, then you’ll have to wait for the English dub.
