This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Elbaf Arc.

One Piece fans suffered a big scare last week as the One Piece manga was suddenly revealed to be on break. Fans were worried, and for very valid reasons. One Piece only goes on sudden breaks due to health issues concerning the creator, Eiichiro Oda. These suspicions were confirmed soon after the break was announced, but thankfully, Oda is already recovering. This means that the long wait for the new One Piece chapter will soon be over, and One Piece fans can expect One Piece Chapter 1162 very soon, on October 12, 2025. Fans are definitely hyped and hope Oda is recovering well, all the while anticipating his next release for the incredible Elbaf arc.

October has started off on a very bad note for fans of the One Piece series. The anime went on not one, but two weeks of break, but even worse, the manga was suddenly announced to be on break. As fans know, breaks for the One Piece manga are planned, and rarely out of nowhere. The reason for this break was Oda’s health, so fans were very worried, especially after the message left by the Shonen Jump Editorial Department.

“To our beloved readers, thank you very much for always reading One Piece. Due to the author's poor health, One Piece will be on break this issue. We deeply apologize to all readers who were looking forward to it. Also, although this issue’s postcards and contents list show One Piece as being published, the correction could not be made in time for the printing process. We sincerely apologize once again. The continuation is scheduled to resume in issue 46 (on sale October 14). We kindly ask for your continued support of One Piece.” — Shonen Jump Editorial Department
