The legendary Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is no new name in the anime and manga industry. It has captivated fans worldwide for nearly three decades with its unpredictable plot twists. One Piece is in its final saga right now, with the Straw Hats finally ending up in Elbaf. This sage has fans on the edge of their seats with its revelations. Recent chapters, particularly from 1149, have shown us the tyrannical power of Imu as they unleash chaos on the island.
If you are someone who is enjoying these back-to-back bangers, then get ready to be sad, because the release of Chapter 1151 has been paired with the announcement of a break, which means no more chapters for a couple of weeks. The exhilarating chapter and its events have left fans wanting more, and the looming hiatus is only worsening their situation.
Imu’s reign of terror continues in One Piece Chapter 1151
The Elbaf arc has taken One Piece to new heights with its revelations about the world’s history. Recent chapters especially have revealed a lot about the God’s Knights and Imu. Speaking of Imu, they are currently shaking the very foundation of the story. Their devilish powers and Haki have turned Elbaf into ruins, and the stakes have never been higher. Every page of One Piece has been a treat, and with every chapter, Imu’s abilities seem to diversify.
Chapter 1150 escalated the tension, and while Chapter 1151 is yet to release (it’s set to release on June 8), its spoilers and leaked visuals are promising to push the arc even further. Ever since Imu has entered the Elbaf saga, the story has been a rollercoaster of emotions.
Oda has been blending high-octane action with emotional depth, something that One Piece is particularly known for. The series is undoubtedly at its peak, and with every new chapter, the fans are experiencing new excitement and content. It is truly a great time to be a One Piece fan. However, there is some bad news.
If you are a One Piece fan who is waiting for further chapters to release and show us more of Imu’s powers, then guess what? You may have to wait for a couple of weeks. Spoilers suggest that the release of One Piece’s chapter 1151 is going to be paired with the announcement of a break. While Oda-sensei is used to taking week-long breaks, sources suggest that it break may last longer, marking June 8th as a sad day for us.
Oda and One Piece are going on a break after Chapter 1151
While Chapter 1151’s release on June 8 is cause for celebration, the joy will be tempered by the announcement of a break. Following this chapter, One Piece will be going on hiatus (hope no one dies when it returns), and if sources are to be trusted, then Chapter 1152 might not be expected until June 22, 2025, two whole weeks after the release of Chapter 1151.
As mentioned above, Oda is used to taking week-long breaks. His schedule typically follows a pattern of three chapters, followed by a one-week break. This allows the creator of One Piece to get some much-needed rest (maybe he can read some theories during this break). This strengthens his mind and is the reason why he is able to maintain the series’ quality.
Of course, while this may be just another break for Oda, fans of the series are going to be bored out of their minds for the next few years. The break is going to feel like an eternity to us, especially with the arc at its peak. No need to worry, though, because this will give us plenty of time to theorize about future chapters and figure out what comes next. Oda is a legend, and he deserves such breaks to sustain his health and creative stamina.
The announcement of a break will undoubtedly sadden a lot of One Piece fans, since it means that they will have to wait two whole weeks for the next chapter to be available. While it is okay to be bummed out by this news, it is also important to remember that such hiatuses are necessary for Oda’s well-being. Oda taking breaks will allow him to build a story that will captivate us all.
One Piece is currently available to stream on Crunchyroll and Netflix.
