"Entering a New Chapter! Luffy and Sabo's Paths!" is the 1089th episode of the One Piece anime.
Short Summary[]
The World Government destroys Lulusia Kingdom before Sabo could divulge information about Imu over the Den Den Mushi. Several days later, the Straw Hat Pirates come across a young girl trapped in a Warm Eddy.
Long Summary[]
The Straw Hats are en route to the next island, reflecting on Luffy's dream to become the King of the Pirates. The crew needs the elusive last Road Poneglyph, but Robin warns that finding it is exceptionally challenging due to the absence of any clues leading to it.
Simultaneously, the Marines intercept Sabo's call to the Revolutionary Army at the Kamabakka Kingdom. The Five Elders at Mary Geoise learn of Sabo's location at Lulusia, a kingdom in upheaval during the Levely. Sabo contacts the Revolutionary Army, reassuring them he did not assassinate King Cobra, contrary to the news reports circulating. When he is about to tell them what he actually witnessed that day at the Empty Throne inside the Pangaea Castle, one of the Five Elders orders the Marines' Communication Department to cut off communications and to forget that they ever traced or heard Sabo's call.
Elsewhere, Imu crosses off Lulusia on a map. The sky over Lulusia darkens and starts glowing with an eerie green light. Suddenly, rays of red light come raining down on the island, destroying everything and everyone they hit. Sabo's call to the Revolutionary Army is abruptly cut off. In a matter of seconds, the island is obliterated, resulting in a huge seaquake originating from where the island used to be.
A few days later, the Straw Hats enter the climate range of a harsh winter island nearby, encountering a massive Warm Eddy. Luffy spots someone inside the water column so Zoro cuts the water in half to rescue her. Chopper emerges from inside the cabins to investigate the commotion outside, but he is swept away by the strong wind. Luffy, swept away by the wind along with Chopper, manages to rescue both the reindeer and the girl, grabbing hold of her while airborne. The girl starts screaming to those on the ship to warn them of what's lurking below the waters. Usopp senses two glowing eyes and tells everyone to run. The two glowing eyes belong to a giant shark, threatening to devour their ship.

- The anime extends the following:
- Seki's conversation with one of the men guarding his cell.
- The Straw Hats sailing through the blizzard.
- The destruction of the Lulusia Kingdom is extended upon in the anime, adding more scenes such as:
- The sky turning red in an instant before the rays start raining down on the island.
- The citizens trying to flee from the rays of red light hitting the island at random locations.
- Seki questioning what happened outside before 2 rays hit the location that he is held within.
- An overview of the rays of red light striking across the island decimating everything they hit before forming a large energy ball that erases the island for good.
- A new segment titled "Tell Me, Robin! Chopper's I-Wanna-Learn-More-You-Fool!!" debuts at the end of the episode, after the ending theme but before the next episode preview. The main purpose of this segment is to review various information within One Piece.
- Just like the preview of the following episode, an English subtitled version can be found on One Piece's official YouTube channel.
- This episode marks Tōru Furuya's final time voicing Sabo, before stepping down from the role in June 2024 after reports of his problematic relationship with a female fan were made public.
