Episodes 759 through 914 were made available in English, which places the dub just before Luffy and Kaid’s first bout throughout the year 2022. This results in 156 brand-new dub episodes, or an average of 13 episodes each month.
By the end of 2023, the dub may reach Episode 1070 if the sub and dub both keep moving forward at their present speeds. The subtitles need to have progressed at most as far as Episode 1093 by then. Logically, the dub may release episodes weeks before their initial Japanese broadcast by March or perhaps February 2024.
