One Piece chapter 1126 confirms manga's release schedule through September's final full week

On Monday, September 9, 2024, an X user and series leaker @pewpiece (Pew) confirmed that there will be no break week after One Piece chapter 1126’s release. This, in turn, has confirmed that the manga will be releasing an issue through the final full week of September, with only the month’s final day of Monday, September 30 in question for the manga’s release schedule.

However, it’s more likely than not that the series will be on break for the final Monday in September, especially since One Piece chapter 1126 will not be followed by a break week. This suggests that original series creator, author, and illustrator, Eiichiro Oda, will be returning to his typical three-on-one-off release schedule for the world’s best-selling manga series of all time.

One Piece chapter 1126 may not be followed by a break, but chapter 1127 is almost certain to resultantly

This news regarding One Piece chapter 1126 and the manga’s schedule following its release came with the start of the spoiler process for chapter 1126. It is typically marked by release schedule information being posted to various social media sites, and hints on the issue’s events from another series leaker @Mugiwara_23 (Redon).

Likewise, Pew and Redon are both reputable sources as the lead series leakers, meaning their information can be trusted. In turn, this suggests that chapter 1127 will almost certainly have a break week after it, as mentioned above.

Oda’s typical cadence will see him release three chapters in a row before taking one break week off. It’s unknown why Oda tends to settle on this rhythm specifically, but the manga’s release schedule over recent years has especially made it clear that this is the mangaka’s preferred pace.

With chapter 1127 marking the third release in a row, however, it’s more likely than not that fans will be getting a break week after its release. Chapter 1127 will be officially out in Japan on Monday, September 23, 2024, meaning the break week will conclude on Monday, September 30.

In other words, following chapter 1127’s release, fans won’t see the manga series officially return until the start of the second calendar week of October 2024.

It’s also possible that Oda may take an extended break after chapter 1127, especially since it will likely wrap up the Egghead arc and all but begin the Elbaf arc. While Oda typically doesn’t take many planning breaks, the series is in its final saga, which is certainly a unique circumstance from a production standpoint.

In any case, all that's confirmed is there will not be a break week following One Piece chapter 1126’s official release on Monday, September 16, 2024, at 12 AM Japanese Standard Time (JST). Beyond this and chapter 1127’s unofficially confirmed release on Monday, September 23, 2024, at 12 AM JST, nothing is known for certain regarding the series.
