On Monday, September 16, 2024, the highly anticipated release week for One Piece chapter 1127 commenced, signaling the start of the spoiler process for this exciting issue. Notably, reputable leaker and X (formerly Twitter) user @pewpiece (Pew) disclosed that a break week will follow the release of chapter 1127.
This confirmation highlights that One Piece chapter 1127 will represent the manga’s final publication for September, with the official Japanese release scheduled for Monday, September 23, 2024. While this may be disappointing for fans, it also suggests a positive turn—the beginning of the Elbaf arc is imminent upon the series’ return, given the current pacing and other indications.
The anticipated break after One Piece chapter 1127 could precede the Elbaf arc’s kickoff
Previously, Eiichiro Oda, the original creator, author, and illustrator of One Piece, indicated that the Elbaf arc is set to begin sometime in 2024. Additionally, the Egghead arc appears to be nearing its conclusion, particularly after the developments in chapter 1126. These factors collectively support the idea that the break week following chapter 1127 will likely usher in the start of the Elbaf arc.
Furthermore, in May 2024, another X user and reliable series news source, @sandman_AP (Sandman), reported captivating news about Elbaf-themed figures related to the series. According to Sandman, the official Shonen Jump website hinted that these figures would be launched in November 2024. This timing has led fans to speculate that the Straw Hat crew must be in Elbaf and that the Elbaf arc will have commenced by then.
Importantly, chapter 1128 will mark the first manga publication in October, reinforcing the belief that the Elbaf arc will likely commence around this time. This timing aligns well with Oda’s release schedule, as it allows several chapters for the entire Straw Hat crew to arrive at Elbaf and undergo costume changes for the arc. Consequently, this strategy would enable the collectible figures to ride the wave of excitement generated by the new arc’s debut, a move likely planned by Shueisha.
This timing makes sense in light of Oda’s usual three-chapters-on, one-chapter-off release model, a pattern being adhered to during the break week following chapter 1127. By delaying the official start of the Elbaf arc until after this three-on-one-off cycle concludes, fans can expect a solid setup for the arc prior to the next break week.
Therefore, it is anticipated that One Piece chapter 1127 will center on reuniting Nami and the other Straw Hats rather than formally initiating the Elbaf storyline. However, this remains speculative as of the time of writing, with the only confirmed information being the upcoming break following chapter 1127.
