This article contains spoilers for One Piece's Elbaf Arc.
One Piece is the most sold manga in the world, and its story, which has been ongoing for over 28 years, has managed to keep fans invested. One Piece, in fact, seems to get gradually more exciting with every new chapter, especially recently with Elbaf. It was recently announced that One Piece will be on break this week, and chapter 1158 will be out next week.

Shanks is an essential character, and Oda might have already revealed his ancestor in One Piece.
In an arc like Elbaf, breaks have especially been a problem for the fans, and since they have been happening quite often, fans are wondering why that is the case. It seems the answer is now quite clear.
One Piece Goes on Another Break
One Piece 1158 is Delayed
August has been quite an odd month for the One Piece manga. Indeed, this month, Oda has been taking a break almost every other week, something that has frustrated many fans. This is especially bad for fans right now as the manga is going through its greatest flashback story ever, and focusing on legendary characters such as Rocks, Roger, and Harald.
One Piece chapter 1157 is coming out this very Sunday, after the manga was on a break last week. But it’s already been confirmed that there is a break after. This means One Piece 1158 will be delayed further, and instead of releasing on the 24th, it will come out on August 31, 2025. The number of breaks this month has definitely raised concerns about Oda among the fans.

Fans Are Concerned About Oda's Health
While Oda is Taking a Lot of Breaks, He Also Had A Lot To Do
Many One Piece fans are frustrated by the breaks, but also concerned for Oda’s health. While Oda isn’t in his best shape right now, that probably isn’t why there have been so many breaks. Last week, for example, the break wasn’t due to Oda, but due to Shonen Jump.
The upcoming break is probably because Oda ran out of time. Indeed, fans have pointed out that One Piece Chapter 1157 looked rushed in some parts. Fans need to remember that Oda has had a lot on his plate recently. Oda recently drew a lot of detailed illustrations. For example, he did two Jump covers, two color spreads, as well as some other projects here and there. This is a lot, and he even has an upcoming interview. This more than explains the excessive breaks this month. Furthermore, Oda isn't in the best of health anymore, so the least fans can do is be patient and grateful for any new One Piece content that they get.
One Piece Chapter 1158 will be out in two weeks. As usual, One Piece is going to drop on Sunday. In Japan, One Piece drops at 12AM JST on Monday. However, the vast majority of international readers will see the chapter available on August 31. The official release date of One Piece Chapter 1158 is August 31, 2025. Fans can read the chapter for free on Manga Plus.
