One Piece isn't one of the anime series you think of when filler arcs are mentioned. Despite having well over 1,000 episodes to its name, the show keeps things on track, and it hasn't amassed many filler bouts to date.
Of course, fans don't mind the occasional original episode, and that is how they are feeling right now. After all, a new report is out that suggests One Piece is about to usher in a quick original episode set in Wano.
After all, it seems like One Piece is ready to take on another original episode! Reports cropped up today online from well-known pages such as WSJ_manga about the anime aside. If the word is true, then One Piece is planning to air an original episode next month that fans won't want to miss.
And why might that be? Well, we have Yamato and Ace to thank. Reports suggest the original episode will be centered on the pair and their history with one another.
At this point, fans know little else about the original One Piece episode, but no one would turn down the chance to revisit Ace. The character remains a sort of legend in the fandom, and his loss during the Marineford arc still hurts to this day. When the manga confirmed Ace had a history with Wano back in the day, fans were elated to visit the pirate even through flashbacks.
So if the anime wants to give us even more throwback content, who are we to reject it?
This original episode may not spawn from the manga, but it seems the aside will be canon all the same. In fact, much of One Piece's filler arcs can be considered as much. The shonen manga rarely dabbles with filler interludes, but it does absolutely happen. The last one of these arcs dates back to episodes 890-894 with the Cidre Guild arc. Since then, fans have been given a few anime-original episodes, and now it seems another is about to join those ranks.

One Piece: Is Big Mom Actually Dead?
Death is an uncertain thing in One Piece, especially when there isn't a body. But will one fallen character make a triumphant return?
One Piece Chapter 1040 saw the defeat of Emperor of the Sea Big Mom at the hands of Kid and Law after a long, arduous battle. This is a major victory for the Pirate-Samurai Alliance and for Kid, Law, and Luffy in general, as it means the three are one step closer to achieving their dreams. Despite the tremendous sigh of relief that our heroes should breathe, something feels...off.
The main power of the Soru Soru no Mi is soul manipulation, meaning that Big Mom can take souls out of a person and transfer them where she sees fit, as long as it's not to another person. It's how she created her Homies like Prometheus and Hera. She could also give up some of her own lifespan to heal her wounds. However, Big Mom never revealed her Awakened Devil Fruit powers, leaving the question of if she somehow survived the explosion that led to her defeat.
Before the events in Wano, Big Mom ruled over Toto Land, where she took a month's worth of soul from each person within her domain. It's safe to assume she used the majority of the souls taken to create more Homies, but it's entirely possible that she could absorb those souls herself. While she can't transfer souls into people or corpses, we don't know if she can absorb them to extend her own lifespan. She could use them to mend her broken bones and grow bigger and stronger, so her body might be the exception to this rule, especially if it's a part of her Awakened abilities.

One Piece Chapter 1041 shows big moments for both Kozuki children
One Piece Chapter 1041’s story content opens up immediately where the previous issue ended. Momonosuke is still talking to Yamato about Zunesha, saying he doesn’t know more than he’s already shared. As this is said, Zunesha is seen still waiting by the World Government ships.
Zunesha then cries out to Momonosuke, asking for orders and saying they’ve come to fight alongside the Kozuki clan. Yamato smiles, delighted that Momo can talk to Zunesha and revealing, in the process, that Oden predicted this. She continues, saying Momo is definitely “the one who will bring this world to the dawn,” another likely prediction of Oden’s.
Momo revealed that he knew he must not die after reading his father’s journal, but expresses doubts. He questions his father’s decision to rip out the most important pages, wondering what he and Roger could have found and laughed at.
He continued, questioning the two’s real plans and whether or not they’d still want to open the country today. Lamenting his father’s inability to predict the future, he expresses his caution at opening Wano for the people’s safety, asking Yamato if he’s cowardly for thinking this way. She, in response, merely looks at Momo with a visible worry on her face.
Meanwhile, on the Skull Dome’s third floor, Fukurokuju has finally collapsed, leaving Raizo to be declared the winner. Being on fire, however, gives the ninja no time to celebrate, as he begins rolling on the ground to put himself out. The narrator announces Raizo the winner just as Jinbe shows up.
As the two continue talking, Raizo suspiciously says that the “preparation” is almost done, without further alluding to what this means. Unfortunately, One Piece Chapter 1041 then cuts to the 2nd floor’s Treasure Hall, where Komurasaki and Orochi currently are.
