This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.
Fans of the manga *One Piece* were surprised and worried last week when a new chapter was unexpectedly delayed. The pause was due to the author, Eiichiro Oda, needing to focus on his health, and it meant chapter 1162 was postponed. Fortunately, *One Piece* will return on October 12, 2025, but unfortunately, another break is planned immediately after. This means fans will have to wait a while longer for chapter 1163. These breaks have been happening more often recently, particularly during a very exciting part of the story, the Elbaf arc.
The One Piece Manga Goes On Break Again

- The Break Begins on October 12
- One Piece Chapter 1162 Will Be Followed By A Two-Week Break
The *One Piece* manga is coming back this Sunday, October 12, 2025, with chapter 1162 after a delay of over a week. While fans are happy to see the series return and are glad Oda is recovering, the return comes with news of another break. Chapter 1163 will be delayed, which is disappointing for fans, but understandable given Oda’s recent health concerns. His health is the most important thing, and he clearly needs more time to rest. Fans were worried about him recently, and prioritizing his well-being is a good thing.
This break from the manga was planned, unlike the previous unexpected one. New chapters will resume on October 26, 2025, and this will be the final chapter released that month. October will only include two chapters in total, which is less than the usual amount.

Why Is One Piece Going On Break?
Oda’s Usual Break Pattern Isn’t Affected by Other Events

Many fans were worried when they heard *One Piece* would be taking another break so soon after Eiichiro Oda recovered from a recent illness. However, this break isn’t cause for concern. The official *One Piece* account has confirmed Oda is doing well and recovering, meaning this break is simply part of his regular work schedule and won’t delay chapter 1163 for long.
Oda typically pauses his work after finishing around three chapters, and occasionally even after just two. This pattern seems to be happening now. However, breaks for things like health issues or scheduled breaks for Shonen Jump magazine aren’t included in that regular schedule.
The next chapter of One Piece, chapter 1163, will be released in two weeks, as usual on a Sunday. While it becomes available in Japan at midnight on Monday (JST), most fans around the world will be able to read it on October 26, 2025. You can read the chapter for free on Manga Plus.
