Must Read
Time Zones, Time Zones Everywhere!
Now, the release time is where things get a little… timey-wimey, as some blue box enthusiasts might say. It all depends on where you are in the world!
Generally, the episode airs in Japan first, then makes its way across the globe. Think of it as a delicious, pirate-themed pizza being delivered worldwide, one slice (or time zone) at a time.

Here's a rough guide to what time you can expect it, bearing in mind slight variations can happen depending on the streaming platform:
- Pacific Time: Saturday, August 28th around 7:00 PM PDT
- Central Time: Saturday, August 28th around 9:00 PM CDT
- Eastern Time: Saturday, August 28th around 10:00 PM EDT
- British Time: Sunday, August 29th around 3:00 AM BST
- Central European Time: Sunday, August 29th around 4:00 AM CEST
- Australian Central Time: Sunday, August 29th around 11:30 AM ACST
Seriously, though, double-check your local streaming service's schedule. You don't want to miss the party because of a timezone mix-up! It's like showing up to a costume party dressed as a regular person...majorly awkward.

Where to Watch It
Most folks will be tuning in to their favorite streaming platforms. Crunchyroll and Funimation are generally the go-to spots to catch One Piece the fastest and legally.
Just be sure you've got a subscription ready to roll! Nobody likes being stuck outside the theater while everyone else is enjoying the show.
What to Expect? (Spoiler-Light!)
Okay, we won't give away any major plot bombs, but the episode title itself – "The Pledge of Loyalty! Yamato and Kaido!!" – hints at some seriously dramatic developments with Kaido's son, Yamato.

Expect some powerful confrontations, shocking revelations, and maybe even a few tears (no shame in that, we’ve all been there). This arc is heating up faster than a Devil Fruit user in a sauna.
The Wano Country arc is shaping up to be legendary, and episode 989 is another stepping stone on this epic journey. Get ready to cheer, gasp, and maybe even throw your hat in the air (carefully though, you don't want to knock anything over!).

Get Hyped!
So, there you have it, future Pirate Kings and Queens! Set your alarms, stock up on snacks, and prepare to be blown away by the latest installment of One Piece.
Episode 989 is going to be a wild ride! Now if you excuse me, I need to go practice my Gear Fourth impressions in the mirror. For... research purposes, of course.
See you on the high seas (or, you know, on your couch) this weekend!
