Monday, April 14, 2025 saw the release week for One Piece chapter 1146 officially begin, which also brought with it initial spoilers concerning the manga’s post-release schedule. Per X (formerly Twitter) user and reputable series leaker @pewpiece, there will be no series break after chapter 1146, confirming the manga will finish out the month with two releases.
In a rare occurrence, @pewpiece also revealed some additional information alongside these initial One Piece chapter 1146 leaks which concerned the series’ overall spoiler process. While the process is still intended to continue, it seems like it will at least take a slightly different form for the next several weeks.
One Piece chapter 1146 to be first issue released without lead leaker Redon’s full summary spoilers
On Sunday, April 13, 2025, @pewpiece posted a message from lead series leaker Redon, who claimed that he would be at least temporarily retiring from writing full summary spoilers. This currently temporary hiatus is set to begin with chapter 1146’s spoiler process; in other words, fans likely will not get full summary spoilers for One Piece chapter 1146. While Redon has clarified that he will post additional spoilers, they won’t be as detailed as the full summaries.
Redon cited a lack of free time during the week thanks to his personal life outside of the spoiler process. Likewise, this has made it harder and harder for Redon to finish the full summaries on time for their typical release. Redon added that he hopes to return to writing full summaries in the future, saying that he has fun writing them and knows people enjoy them. As of this article’s writing, no further update on this situation has been provided by either Redon or @pewpiece.
As for One Piece chapter 1146 not being followed by a break, this gives fans some clarity as to how mangaka Eiichiro Oda will likely handle the coming Shueisha publisher break. This break will be for the Golden Week holiday, which will begin on Tuesday, April 29, 2025, the day after chapter 1147’s expected release date. Oda will likely return with Weekly Shonen Jump’s return by publishing chapter 1148 before taking a break, to maintain his three-on-one-off schedule.
While some may argue Oda could restart the cycle given the publisher break, historically, this isn’t how he has handled such situations in the past. Typically, he takes advantage of the extra break and still gives himself a planned break week after the third chapter in the interrupted cycle is released. Thus, fans can expect both chapters 1147 and 1148 to be interrupted by a break week, as well as chapters 1148 and 1149.
Oda’s manga began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in July 1997, where it is still ongoing with regular publication today. However, the manga is currently advancing through its final saga.
