The Elbaf storyline in One Piece has been nothing short of extraordinary, leaving fans eagerly anticipating more as the story unfolds. To date, this arc has provided exceptional quality that has many viewers already considering it among the finest arcs One Piece has ever offered.

Fans of the series are anxiously looking forward to seeing the adventure progress further, but regrettably, the manga won’t continue this week due to Oda needing a rest. This pause occurs at an intriguing point in the manga, as Luffy, Zoro, and Nami gear up to face Scopper Gaban, a formidable adversary who was Roger’s right-hand man and possesses exceptional combat skills. Unfortunately, this fight will have to be postponed until Oda recharges his creative energy in order to delve into the next installment of the story.

One Piece Chapter 1140 Delayed: Oda Takes A Break

After A 4 Chapter Run, One Piece Goes On A Break
Oda Deserves Some Rest

Fans are currently buzzing with anticipation over chapter 1140 of One Piece, but they must brace themselves for a pause in the storyline. This isn’t an unusual occurrence for fans who have followed One Piece for years. You see, Oda tends to write multiple chapters and then take his own time off. Over the years, this pattern has shifted quite a bit. In the past, around 2015, Oda would release six chapters in a row before taking a well-deserved break. However, with One Piece’s continuous serialization for such a long period, it’s only natural that even Oda needs some rest. Additionally, as Oda gets older, he can no longer produce at the same pace as before. Over time, his ability to release consecutive chapters has noticeably decreased.

Initially, Oda published six consecutive chapters, then reduced it to five. Later, during the Wano Country Arc, he decreased it even more to four chapters in a row, meaning after each month of “One Piece,” Oda took a two-week vacation. However, things have changed lately as “One Piece” now takes a break after every three chapters. Lately, fans have had a tough time due to the irregular schedule of “One Piece.” This was due to several reasons such as Oda taking personal breaks, his involvement in the Live Action series, and holidays in Japan causing delays. Fortunately, it appears that Oda is back to releasing consecutive chapters like before, going one step further this time by publishing four chapters consecutively – something that hasn’t happened since around 2022, highlighting how long ago that was.

Instead of taking a hiatus, One Piece won’t be pausing its release, meaning this upcoming Sunday marks the first time in a while that viewers won’t have One Piece to eagerly anticipate. Additionally, since Egghead anime is also on a break, it adds to the difficulty for fans who are craving their favorite shows.

One Piece Returns Next Week

One Piece Will Return On February 23, 2025

Oda, the creator of “One Piece,” rarely takes extended breaks. Typically, when he does take a break, it’s only for a week, which means the upcoming chapters will come out in two weeks instead of one. Therefore, you can expect the next chapter, “One Piece” 1140, to be published on February 23, 2025. Keep in mind that this will be the last chapter for this month, but rest assured, the story of “One Piece” will continue its epic journey in the Elbaf arc later in February with Chapter 1140.

After the release of One Piece chapter 1140, it’s quite probable that Eiichiro Oda will take a hiatus again. At the minimum, readers can expect chapters 1141 and 1142 to follow shortly. It’s likely that this will be followed by another pause from Oda, and so on.

It’s intriguing to consider whether Eiichiro Oda can repeat his streak of releasing four consecutive chapters, or if this was an unusual occurrence possibly due to numerous interruptions recently.

One Piece Chapter 1140: Luffy and Zoro Vs Scopper Gaban

Roger’s Legendary Left-hand Man Tests Luffy And Zoro

In chapter 1139 of One Piece, the stage is set for forthcoming events, focusing primarily on Scopper Gaban. This character has been gradually introduced by Oda, first appearing in chapter 631, and his significance is clear. Now, he confronts Luffy, Zoro, and Nami, making fans eager to see how this encounter unfolds. The objective is to snatch the key from Gaban, but not before engaging in a battle with him first. Chapter 1140 promises to showcase Gaban’s power as he clashes with a Yonko, Straw Hat Luffy, and his second-in-command, Zoro. This battle is anticipated for two main reasons: fans will get a sense of Gaban’s true strength, rumored to be on par with Vice Captain Silvers Rayleigh and Captain Roger. Moreover, it offers an opportunity to witness legendary power in the manga as the narrative progresses.

Furthermore, enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting the moment when Luffy confronts a member of Roger’s pirate crew. Previously, Luffy may have sparred with Silvers Rayleigh, but he probably hasn’t engaged in an official fight against him. In this upcoming encounter, Luffy will be giving it his all against an opponent who can match Rayleigh and even rival Roger himself. This battle promises to be the most challenging test for Luffy yet.

In the meantime, the Holy Knights are moving closer to the Walrus School with the intention of abducting the children, who they will use as hostages in their fight against the Giants of Elbaf. The upcoming events promise to be thrilling, and fans are eagerly anticipating Oda’s next moves when One Piece resumes after its hiatus.

Readers can access “One Piece” through Viz Media. Officially and without charge, fans are able to read it on the Shonen Jump and Manga Plus apps. The upcoming chapter of “One Piece,” One Piece 1140, is scheduled for release on February 23, 2025.
