Eiichiro Oda, the renowned creator of One Piece, has decided to break from his usual intermittent publication schedule to offer fans a more continuous experience at the beginning of 2025. For the first time in almost three years, the mangaka will publish up to four consecutive chapters without weekly breaks. This decision, although exciting for the public, has raised concerns about his health, given that Oda has taken periodic breaks in the past to take care of his well-being.
The designated date: early February
Chapters 1138 and 1139 are scheduled to be released on February 2 and 9, 2025, respectively, and the series’ followers are eager to discover the outcome of the intriguing story arcs that have been developed in recent months. Oda has expressed on several occasions his desire to conclude the story he has been developing for years, which could be a motivating factor behind this change in his publication schedule.
Although this increased frequency can be seen as an opportunity for fans to closely follow the events taking place, the potential cost to Oda’s mental and physical health by taking on an additional workload must also be considered. The community has shown its support and concern for the creator’s well-being, and many wonder if this push towards the climactic finale could pose an undue risk.
As the end of the work approaches, anticipation and speculation among followers increase. With more than 1,000 chapters published, Oda seems to be nearing the culmination of his epic journey. Only time will tell how events will unfold in this historic manga series.
