One Piece Returns With Elbaph Arc Under New Seasonal Format
《航海王》以全新季度形式回歸，開啟艾爾帕布篇章
For over 25 years, the legendary anime One Piece was a staple of weekly television, but a major shift has arrived.
傳奇動畫《航海王》作為每週播出的電視節目已逾二十五載，但現已迎來重大變革。
As of April 5, 2026, the series officially transitioned to a seasonal format starting with the long-awaited Elbaph arc.
自2026年4月5日起，該系列正式轉型為季番制，並以備受期待的艾爾巴夫篇開啟新篇章。
Moving away from its non-stop production schedule that began in 1999, Toei Animation has adopted a new two-cour annual structure, capping output at 26 episodes per year.
東映動畫捨棄了自1999年以來採用的不間斷製作排程，採用了新的年度雙季模式，將年度產出限定在26集。
By committing to adapting roughly one manga chapter per episode, the production team intends to eliminate the filler content that often stretched out the story in the past.
製作團隊承諾大致每集改編漫畫一章的節奏，以消除過往經常用以延長故事篇幅的原創內容。
This transition reflects modern industry trends favoring higher visual quality and sustainable working conditions, similar to other major series like Jujutsu Kaisen.
此次轉型反映了現代產業傾向於追求更高視覺品質與可持續工作條件的趨勢，類似於《咒術迴戰》等其他大型作品。
With the series approaching its thrilling conclusion, this shift ensures that the adaptation remains as engaging and faithful to the original manga as possible.
隨著該作品邁向扣人心弦的大結局，此項變更確保了其改編作品能夠保持高度吸引力，並儘可能忠於原作漫畫。
Whether you are a long-time fan or just joining the adventure, the Elbaph arc marks a bold, exciting new chapter for the Straw Hat Pirates.
無論您是資深粉絲還是剛踏入冒險的新人，艾爾巴夫篇都象徵著草帽海賊團大膽且令人興奮的新篇章。
