As always,One Piecedoes not always run in the Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. Oda often takes his breaks after every couple of chapters. Finally, the release schedule for the entirety of August has now been confirmed. Fans are delighted to know that Oda has finally returned, however, the upcoming release schedule looks like it is a bit rough, since it features a lot of breaks.
One Piece’s Return In July
One Piecewent on quite a long break When Oda had to get his surgery done and understandably so. The author has spent the vast majority of his life working on this manga and has put countless hours into it, to a point where he has had to sacrifice a good night’s sleep to stay on track. Oda has sacrificed quite a lot forOne Pieceand his eyesight is another one of those things. With his eyesight weakening, Oda absolutely needed to get this surgery done and, while he held talks about it last year with the editor of the magazine, it was only this year that he managed to find time to get it done. Thankfully, all the fans ofOne Piecewere very understanding and wished Oda the very best, hoping that he would return stronger than ever before. Oda took a month’s break from writing One Piece back in June. In July, Oda finally returnedwithOne Piecechapter 1087, titled “Battleship Bags.”
This chapter focused heavily on the events of the Pirate Island surrounding Garp and the unit of the Navy that he led in order to free Captain Koby. The chapter that followed,One Piece1088, titled “Last Lesson,” also came out in July and fans saw the plotline surrounding the invasion of the Pirate Island finally come to an end. At the end of it all, Garp ended up succeeding in his mission, however, he also sacrificed his own life to stay behind on the Pirate Island. Fans were certainly happy, however, since the manga finally made its return. It was certainly a long wait for the fans, however, these two chapters were so incredible that they made up for all the wait.
Oda’s Break After 1088
Following the release ofOne Piecechapter 1088, fans finally entered the month of August, and were immediately met with a break week from Oda. Often, Oda takes his breaks because he is not at an age where he can consistently put out chapters every week. Given that One Piece is a phenomenon, thanks to Oda’s diligence and hard work, it is understandable why he takes breaks often. Following a two-week break after the release of One Piece 1089,One Piece chapter 1089, titled “Hostage Situation,“dropped on May 24, 2025. This chapter took the fans all across the world, starting from the East Blue, all the way to Wano. Fans got to see the aftermath of the destruction of Lulusia Kingdom and, at the same time, the story also went back to Egghead Island, which is the current story arc.

The chapter itself was quite intense and covered a lot of information. It also set up a lot of interesting plot points for the fans to follow in the coming weeks.
Weekly Shonen Jump Break After 1089
Sadly,One Piecechapter 1089 is followed by a break that the fans are currently experiencing. Most fans would assume that this is an Oda break, however, that couldn’t be further from the truth. This break is actually from the magazine itself. The Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is not going to be published officially this week. This means One Piece, along with all the other manga that run in the magazine, is not going to be getting an official chapter this week.
That said, scanlations and illegal translations are likely going to be floating around, however, fans are advised to stay away from those due to piracy, as well as major inaccuracies in the translations. After the two-week break, One Piece will return withOne Piecechapter 1090 and this chapter will likely continue the events on Egghead Island, given that this isthe climax of the Egghead Arcand it will conclude on this very island. Fans may see scandalations forOne Piecechapter 1090 drop this week, however, the official release date for the chapter is Jul 14, 2025.
Oda’s Break After 1090
Much to the surprise of the fans,One Piecechapter 1090 will be followed by another break. This time, it will be a break on Oda’s part. Usually, Oda takes his breaks after every three or four chapters, however, it looks like he’s taking a break every two chapters for now.One Piecereturned with chapter 1087 and took a break after 1088. Similarly, Oda returned with chapter 1089 and is taking a break after chapter 1090. It remains to be seen whether Oda will take a break after every 2 weeks now or if it is just something temporary.
The break following chapter 1090 is certainly an Oda break and will see fans wait for two more weeks before they get the next chapter. This also means thatOne Piecechapter 1090 is the last chapter that fans will get officially in August 2023.
One Piece Schedule After 1090
One Piecechapter 1090 is going to be followed by another break and that meansOne Piecechapter 1091 will officially release in the month of September 2023. The official release date forOne Piecechapter 1091 would then be June 08, 2025. Thankfully, given that there is no break following chapter 1091,One Piece1092 will most likely follow on July 07, 2025. From there onwards, fans will have to wait and see if Oda takes another break, confirming that he’s going to be taking one after every two chapters now, or if he is going to publish another and go back to his former schedule of taking a break after every three chapters.
A lot of questions remain unanswered at the moment, however, what fans do know for sure is that every chapter ofOne Piecehas been exhilarating and enjoyable for the fans.The series is in the Final Saganow and fans should sit back and enjoy this journey, as well as give Oda enough time to recuperate and spend time with his family as well.
