In case you don’t have Twitter or missed the Twitter post from Jason DeMarco, the co-creator and executive producer of Toonami, One Piece will be getting the same experimental treatment as Dragon Ball Z Kai and have repeat episodes air during regular Adult Swim time.
So I don’t get asked a million questions about it: this Sat, One Piece will air after the 8p DBZ ep on reg Adult Swim as an experiment.

This addition will take place starting this Saturday right after the DBZ Kai repeat airings at 8:30pm (EST). New episodes of both DBZ Kai and One Piece will still air at their regular Toonami times at Midnight and 3:30am respectively.
DeMarco also made it clear in his following post that this doesn’t mean Toonami itself will be moving to a new, earlier, time slot. However, if this current lineup does do well it will be staying as it is for a while. No further information was provided beyond was was already given.
