According to the release schedule on FUNimation’s official website, One Piece: Season 7 Voyage 1 will be available for streaming starting June 30 for FUNimation subscribers. As revealed earlier, the first voyage of the upcoming season will include episodes 385 to 396, marking the beginning of Sabaody arc for the English dub audience. A physical release for One Piece: Season 7 Voyage 1 will hit the retail stores July 14, along with One Piece: Collection Thirteen.

Josh Kocurek, FUNimation’s brand manager for One Piece, recently made an appearance on the One Piece Podcast. He said the cast announcements for the new characters are expected to be revealed very soon. Unlike most of the prior announcements, they are planning to go for an approach similar to when they announced Ian Sinclair as Brook. As opposed to a simple blog post with the cast listings, there will be new video content and more limelight for the individual characters.

In the meantime, if you have not started collecting FUNimation’s releases yet, now would be a good time to do so. The first three Collection Treasure Chest box sets are available on Amazon for a very reasonable price. Please support One Piece by purchasing the official releases.
