One Piece Chapter 1177 Delayed Due to Eiichiro Oda's Sudden Breakdown

One Piece's The Elbaf arc continues to heat up with each passing chapter, and all eyes are on this moment One piece Chapter 1177 which will mark the beginning of some very interesting battles in the story and take it to the next level. While most fans expected One piece Chapter 1177 drops this coming weekend, now it has been officially confirmed that there will be a break next week. The release date of One Piece Chapter 1177 has been completely changed and it's all due to Oda's sudden turn that hardly anyone expected.

One Piece Author Eiichiro Oda Takes A Sudden Break

Usually, Od's break schedule is very organized. The author has a habit of taking a break after every three chapters he releases. That way, fans usually get three weeks in a month to read new One Piece chapters and one for Oda to take a break. However, Oda takes a break every now and then after only two chapters and sometimes even one. Although extremely rare, it all depends on Oda's energy level and how he feels at the moment.

Odo's health has deteriorated over the years, and as expected, nearly 29 years of One Piece serialization has taken a toll on him. As such, Oda sometimes takes breaks more often. One Piece Chapter 1177, which was supposed to drop this coming weekend, has now been delayed due to Oda's sudden interruption after only two chapters.

One Piece Chapter 1177 will be released on March 22, 2026

Originally, One piece Chapter 1177 was due on March 15, 2026. Now that Oda had taken a sudden break, One Piece Chapter 1177 has been pushed back to March 22, 2026. This means that fans have a two-week long wait before they can enjoy Oda's One Piece again. This is extremely unfortunate, given that the story begins with Sanji taking on the likes of Killingham and Zoro, and the Giants are now up against an army of Domi Reversi. Given that, it also makes sense for Oda to take a break One piece Chapter 1176 probably marked the end of the volume. So what follows next will be action-packed, and Oda will most likely use this extra break to plan accordingly. As always when One piece chapter 1177 drops, will be available to read for free on Manga Plus and Shonen Jump via Viz Media.

As for the content of One Piece chapter 1177, it will most definitely focus on the big battles currently taking place in Elbaf. At the moment, Oda is paying particular attention to three specific battles:

  1. Luffy and Loki's fight against Imo. This battle will probably be the last one Oda focuses on, since he always goes from the least important to the most important.
  2. The battle of the giant army against the giant army of the Domi Reversiled by Zoro. This battle is incredibly important and will definitely be the focus of One Piece Chapter 1177.
  3. One of the biggest fights in Elbaf, that is Sanji vs Killinghamhas also begun, and fans are sure to see him take on this massive threat in the coming chapters.

So how do I punish you? — Sanji to Killingham, One Piece 1176

Let's hope One Piece chapter 1177 lives up to all expectations. Furthermore, it is highly likely that One Piece will not get another break after the release of chapter 1177. This means that chapters 1178 and 1179 should drop in the coming weeks, followed by Oda's hiatus, unless the author surprises fans with another change in schedule. In that case, fans should stay tuned as we'll be reporting any sudden breaks immediately.

One Piece Chapter 1177 will be available to read on Manga Plus on March 22, 2026.
