One Piece Takes Another Two-Week Break Soon After Returning!

One Piece fans are feeling disappointed and anxious as the popular manga announced yet another two-week break, following closely after its last hiatus. Just as readers were getting back into the story with the release of Chapter 1131 on November 10, creator Eiichiro Oda and his team confirmed that Chapter 1132 will now be delayed until December 1.

This unexpected pause has left fans divided, with some expressing concern over the possible reasons behind the frequent breaks, while others worry about the pace and future of the beloved series.

The current hiatus comes on the heels of a previous two-week break that was reportedly due to Oda’s travel to South Africa. Although this trip wasn't for leisure, it was related to One Piece—specifically, Oda’s involvement in the development of a live-action adaptation.

Oda had mentioned wanting to devote some time to the live-action series, which has been a priority for him as it expands One Piece into new formats. This hands-on approach with the adaptation has kept him busy, but fans speculate there may be additional reasons for the latest break.

Some readers are understandably worried about Oda’s health, as he has previously taken breaks due to medical issues, including eye surgery earlier in the year. With One Piece running for over two decades and Oda maintaining a relentless work schedule, any increase in hiatuses tends to spark concerns about his well-being. The author has dedicated much of his life to crafting the long-running series, and fans appreciate the incredible effort he has put into the story. Many are urging Oda to take all the time he needs, with fans expressing support and wishing him good health.

Online reactions have been mixed, highlighting the fanbase’s dedication to One Piece. Some fans are saddened and frustrated with the series’ recent release schedule, noting that the frequency of breaks has been higher in recent years. “What’s happening to One Piece? First the anime, and now the manga keeps going on break,” one user wrote, capturing the mixed feelings. Others have been understanding, like one fan who commented, “Oda deserves every break he can get after everything he’s accomplished.”

While fans may be disappointed with the delays, many also recognize the importance of Oda’s health and the quality of his work. This period of rest may ensure that Oda can continue delivering the story he’s crafted for years, maintaining the high standards that One Piece fans have come to expect. With Chapter 1132 now set for release on December 1, readers are eagerly awaiting what comes next, hoping that Oda returns refreshed and ready to bring more of the epic adventures that have made One Piece a global phenomenon.
