The latest spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1116 have revealed that the upcoming chapter will only consist of 13 pages. This news has caused concern among fans of the series for the wellbeing of Eiichiro Oda.
Despite One Piece currently being praised for its best arc yet, many fans are expressing concerns about the manga’s future. This is due to the series taking frequent breaks throughout the year and recent chapters having lower page counts compared to previous ones.
According to the average page-count for a One Piece chapter, which is typically 17-19 pages, Chapter 1116’s 13 pages are significantly lower. This has caused worry among the One Piece fandom, especially since there will be another hiatus after Chapter 1116, leading to concerns about Oda’s health.
In late 2023, the One Piece creator took a long hiatus for eye surgery, which was the first of several health scares in recent years. Despite this, the manga continued at a steady pace until the passing of Akira Toriyama, the Dragon Ball creator.
Despite the passing of the legendary mangaka, Oda continued to prioritize his health by taking another extended break. However, upon its return, One Piece has not maintained its usual pace as the manga has been frequently interrupted every two weeks. This situation only adds to the concern for Oda’s well-being.
In addition to these frequent breaks, the page counts of the chapters have also decreased. Prior to One Piece Chapter 1116, Chapter 1115 had 17 pages while Chapter 1114 had only 15 pages.
Despite the lack of any official statement regarding the author’s health, the decreasing page counts suggest that Oda may be facing personal struggles. This has not stopped his readers from expressing concern and worrying about his well-being.
“The most important thing is one’s health. Oda senpai, please make sure to prioritize it,”writes a user on X in response to a tweet (link: https://x.com/pewpiece/status/1795489077137219737).
“Another person remarks, ‘I suppose this is the cost of obtaining divine artwork.’”
“A third commenter expresses their belief and hope that the chapter is 13 pages long because it makes sense for a chapter break, rather than it being due to the character’s illness.”
Despite the current status of Egghead Arc being in its final stages, One Piece fans continue to support the author and hope for his good health. With the announcement of the release window for the Elbaf Arc later this year, it is expected that both the plot and the art will improve even further. Therefore, it is crucial for the author to be in his best state for this upcoming arc.
One Piece fans will have ample opportunity to explore the vast world of the series, as Chapter 1116 is scheduled for release on June 2, 2024. Take the time to delve into the mysteries of the Void Century and Joyboy’s past, and discover the identity of the most wanted criminal in One Piece.
