One Piece Manga Announces New Break Ahead Of Luffy Vs Imu

by

The One Piece manga had a slow start to the year with many breaks, but things had become more consistent recently. After releasing three chapters in a row (1172, 1173, and 1174), Eiichiro Oda is taking another break, meaning chapter 1175 is delayed. This is important because the upcoming chapter could start what many fans believe will be the biggest battle in the series: Luffy versus Imu.

One Piece Will Go On Break After Chapter 1174

New Break Announced By Eiichiro Oda

I wasn’t surprised to hear that One Piece is taking a break after chapter 1174. It’s become pretty standard for Eiichiro Oda to release three chapters at a time, then take a week off. He’s been doing this for a while now, and it seems to give him the chance to plan ahead for the story and recharge before continuing. It’s a good system for both him and the fans, I think.

Eiichiro Oda has been creating One Piece for almost 30 years, and as he gets older, he needs regular breaks to stay healthy and maintain the quality of the story. While fans might be disappointed when new chapters are delayed, Oda would likely benefit from even more frequent breaks to ensure he can continue working on One Piece for years to come.

Oda’s Run Of 3 Chapters Is Completed

Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, is taking a short break after finishing three chapters – 1172, 1173, and 1174. Chapter 1174 will be released on February 15, 2026, and then the manga will go on hiatus, meaning there won’t be a new chapter the following week on February 22nd. One Piece will return in two weeks, continuing the exciting fight between Luffy and Imu.

One Piece Will Return With Luffy Vs Imu on March 1, 2026

One Piece Chapter 1175 Will Mark The Beginning Of One Piece’s Biggest Fight

After a two-week pause following chapter 1174, One Piece will be back on March 1, 2026, with chapter 1175. This chapter is expected to deliver the long-awaited battle between Luffy and Imu. As the story heats up in the Elbaf arc, chapter 1175 will kick off what promises to be the arc’s biggest fight.

After releasing chapter 1175 in March, the manga is planned to publish three more chapters – 1176 and 1177 – before taking another break.

After a rough beginning to 2026, the manga is now releasing more consistently. With Oda returning from his break, things are looking up, and fans can expect One Piece to be even more thrilling than before.
