The agonizing wait for the next chapter of the globally beloved manga, One Piece, is finally nearing an end following a period of serious health concerns for author Eiichiro Oda. The staff has now confirmed that One Piece Chapter 1162 will be released on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, in Japan, ending an unscheduled break that came at a pivotal moment in the manga's storyline.
The delay, caused by Oda's health issues, had generated significant worry among fans who understand the intense pressure faced by mangaka. Thankfully, the recent public announcement clarified that the author is 'on his way to recovery at the moment.' The new chapter will be published in the 46th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump instead of issue 45, marking a necessary pause for the author to recover.
