Eiichiro Oda stands as the influential creator behind the iconic manga series, One Piece, which has captivated audiences for decades. Although the series continues to be serialized, Oda occasionally takes necessary breaks to recharge and maintain his health.
This upcoming week will see Oda taking a break, leading to a delay in the release of One Piece chapter 1140.
Oda’s Break Following Chapter 1139
No One Piece Chapter Available on February 16
Recently, Oda has been exceptionally productive, delivering four consecutive chapters—an unusual feat in the current pace of One Piece. Historically, readers have grown accustomed to Oda’s pattern of taking breaks after every two or three chapters. The last stretch, covering chapters 1136 to 1139, saw no pauses as he committed to delivering quality content.
One Piece chapter 1139 is scheduled for release on February 9, 2025. However, following this chapter, fans will have to wait two weeks for the subsequent update. Consequently, One Piece chapter 1140 is anticipated to arrive on February 23, 2025.
Reasons Behind Oda’s Increased Breaks
While the sight of four consecutive chapters may seem extraordinary today, it was once a common occurrence during earlier years of One Piece. The year 2024 marked a significant increase in the number of breaks Oda has taken throughout the series, attributed to various factors.
One crucial reason for Oda’s increased frequency of breaks is his ongoing health challenges, which have necessitated surgeries and added to his overall fatigue from managing the demanding responsibilities of a mangaka. Having dedicated nearly 30 years to One Piece, it’s understandable that fatigue would set in, considering the exceptionally long duration of his commitment to the series.
Additionally, Oda’s involvement with the second season of the One Piece live-action adaptation has required him to travel, notably to South Africa. This undertaking has added further demands to his schedule, leading to an increase in breaks as he balances his contributions to multiple projects. As the live-action series continues to develop, fans should be prepared for potentially more breaks from Oda in the future.
