One Piece Chapter 1128 Reveals Manga Release Schedule Until Mid-October

Now that the break week for the series has concluded, the spoiler process for the highly anticipated One Piece chapter 1128 is underway. Notably, it has been confirmed that this chapter will not be followed by an additional break week for the series. This update was shared on Monday, September 30, 2024, by the reliable series leaker and news source, X (formerly Twitter) user @pewpiece (Pew).

This confirmation indicates that fans will receive new installments of the manga during the first two weeks of October 2024. One Piece chapter 1128 is set to be released first on Monday, October 7, at 12 AM Japanese Standard Time (JST), closely followed by chapter 1129 on Monday, October 14, at the same time.

One Piece Chapter 1128 Likely Marks the Beginning of a New Three-Chapter Release Cycle

While the latest update from Pew primarily highlights the immediate release timeline for One Piece chapter 1128, it seems plausible that chapter 1129 will also not have a break the following week. This would revert the manga to mangaka Eiichiro Oda’s typical release structure of three chapters followed by one week off, a rhythm he often adheres to. The past four weeks of the series’ release schedule have demonstrated this pattern emphatically.

Consequently, fans can anticipate chapters 1128, 1129, and 1130 being released consecutively over the first three Mondays of October. There is expected to be a break week on Monday, October 28, followed by the return of the series on Monday, November 4, with chapter 1131. However, this information is speculative at the time of writing, assuming no unexpected breaks disrupt what appears to be a return to Oda’s preferred routine.

Additionally, the commencement of the Elbaf arc lends credence to the anticipation that Oda will revert to this format. As one of the most eagerly awaited arcs, it’s logical to provide fans with as many chapters as possible upfront. This allows for quicker progression through the initial setup of the arc, which is expected to be rich with twists and turns according to recent theories and discrepancies.

Moreover, One Piece chapter 1128 is anticipated to delve deeper into the current circumstances of the separated Straw Hat crew. Nami and Usopp appear to be the only pair currently aligned, while Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp show various concerning ‘red flags,’ hinting at underlying issues. Notably, Luffy seems particularly disoriented, mixing up his attack names, showcasing different weapon designs on his outfit, among other peculiarities.

First serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in July 1997, Oda’s story has been faithfully published throughout its run. The series made its television anime debut by Toei Animation in October 1999. Netflix has also teamed up with Wit Studios for a remake of the anime titled THE ONE PIECE and is producing a live-action adaptation of Oda’s manga, with the second and third seasons currently in production.
