Jerry,
I am sorry to say at this time there are no additional episodes being adapted by 4Kids Entertainment.
Thank you for your inquiry.
Best Regards,
Roz Nowicki
UPDATE

Okay I emailed with:

Hello, IM a fan of One Piece and I recently heard a rumor online that 4kids is no longer dubbing/adapting the series. Can anyone confirm or deny this rumor?... if it is true, I would also like to know why if possible, as well as if another company might pick up the dubbing rights. Thank you for your time.

their reply was
I would recommend that you direct your inquiries to Toei Animation. At this point 4Kids does not plan to adapt any further episodes of the series.

Thank you for your inquiry.

Rejoice, rejoice my fans! This is good news. Hell even if another company can't pick it up it's good news... at least 4kids isn't raping it then. SO yes, be happy, this is truely a time to celebrate.
Some maybe wondering what would become of this site if 4kids does stop dubbing One Piece. Well, it would depend on whether or not another dubbing company picks it up. It could just be that no other company wants it (though I doubt this) and One Piece will remain as is. It could also become the DBZ of this century and bring in Viz or Funi or whoever millions of dollars. (which would amuse me to no end because then 4kids would be all "WTF? that's the same show we had an it's bringing in millions!" .. but we don't know yet. Until we know the fate of One Piece, Im not going to say anything about the future of this site.. but hey, it makes a good archive =P
