The Drums of Liberation and the return of Joy Boy have fans hyped for the next One Piece anime episode. But there’s one question that I have seen many asking online – “What is the duration of One Piece episode 1071?” Is Episode 1071 a special episode, since we are finally going to see Luffy’s peak form?
Well, here’s the answer to your question. One Piece Episode 1071 will not be a special episode, but a standard one. Toei Animation would have hyped up the upcoming episode if it was a 1-hour special in its previews and teasers shared over the past week. So, the duration of episode 1071 will be the usual, around 25 minutes. This is further confirmed by recent leaks, which reveal the title of the next two anime episodes, which will fully showcase Luffy’s Gear 5 techniques.

Where to Watch One Piece Anime Episode 1071?
The most awaited One Piece episode 1071 will be streamed on the regular streaming platforms where One Piece is broadcasted weekly all around the world. The availability of One Piece on top anime streaming platforms varies from region to region. For example, Crunchyroll US and Netflix US have One Piece in their library, but it isn’t available in India on these streaming platforms.
Still, Crunchyroll is the safest bet for those looking to stream One Piece Episode 1071 with English subs. Since Crunchyroll simulcasts each episode weekly, it’s the right platform for you to stream the upcoming Gear 5 episode. Crunchyroll will make episode 1071 available to stream exactly 1 hour and 30 minutes after it airs in Japan.
Note: For fans who are Crunchyroll members but One Piece isn’t available in your country, you can try using VPN to switch your region to the US or any other supported region to stream the Gear 5 episode. But be warned beforehand since most of the streaming platforms don’t like seeing their subscribers switching regions, it could result in an account ban.
