Release date and time, where to read
One Piece chapter 1079 is set to be released at 12 am JST on Monday, March 27, 2023. For the majority of international fans, this means a Sunday morning local release window. However, a small section of the international fanbase, like Japanese viewers, will see the chapter be released on Monday night. The exact time of release varies by region and timezone.
Fans can read the chapter via official sources on either Viz Media’s official website, Shueisha’s MANGAPlus website, or Shonen Jump+ app. The first two services are free, allowing readers to view the first and latest three issues in a series. The lattermost is a paid, subscription-based service that grants readers access to a series in its entirety..
One Piece chapter 1079 is set to release at the following times in the corresponding time zones:
- Pacific Standard Time: 7 am, Sunday, March 26, 2023
- Eastern Standard Time: 10 am, Sunday, March 26, 2023
- Greenwich Mean Time: 3 pm, Sunday, March 26, 2023
- Central European Time: 4 pm, Sunday, March 26, 2023

What to expect
One Piece chapter 1079 will most likely open with a continued focus on Dr. Vegapunk and York, where the latter may further explain their motives. This should lead to Dr. Vegapunk learning of the Marine forces imminently arriving, with only Stussy and Sentomaru seemingly aware of their looming presence.
With Jewelry Bonney being briefly seen in the previous issue, it’s likely that mangaka Eiichiro Oda will take some time to focus on her now. This should at least lead to some information on the backstory of her father, Bartholomew Kuma, if not parlaying into a full dive into his origins.
Should the former be the case, fans can expect One Piece chapter 1079 to end with some update on how long until the Marine forces arrive at Egghead Island. With the Egghead Incident also set to occur in one day, this would give fans a better idea of how many chapters it takes until these disastrous events take place.
Chapter 1078 recap
One Piece chapter 1078 began with Stussy confirming to Sentomaru that Admiral Kizaru and a large number of Marine forces are on their way to Egghead Island. Sentomaru then ordered the evacuation of Egghead Island as the chapter shifted perspectives to Franky’s group.
Here, S-Snake ignored the unfully petrified Franky and his words in favor of stepping on Vegapunk Pythagoras, presumably crushing and killing him. The chapter then jumped to Nico Robin’s group, where Vegapunk Atlas began guiding the group to Dr. Vegapunk’s current location. Fans then quickly saw Sanji tank a punch from S-Shark before switching to Luffy’s group, where Zoro and Kaku split off from Luffy and Lucci to chase after S-Hawk.
The chapter then revealed how the Vegapunk traitor reached out to the World Government several times over the previous months, which culminated in the Marines’ imminent retaliation. After this, fans saw Dr. Vegapunk being approached by Vegapunk York, who revealed herself as the traitor to earn a spot among the Celestial Dragons.
