One Piece: When Will Chapter 1154 Be Released and Where Can You Read It for Free?

This week, One Piece fans will need to be a bit patient—chapter 1154 won’t be coming out as expected. Yep, even in the middle of an arc as intense as Elbaf, the manga sometimes takes a break. So, why this sudden pause, and more importantly, when can we finally read what happens next? Here’s everything you need to know.

Since the start of the series back in 1997, Oda has kept an impressively steady pace. But even a legendary mangaka has his limits. This week, Weekly Shonen Jump is not publishing a new One Piece chapter. And no, it’s not a last-minute delay or an error—it’s simply a well-deserved break. Between weekly chapters, the live-action series, interviews, events, and nearly three decades of non-stop work, it makes sense for Oda to take a breather every now and then—especially now that he’s over 50.

What surprised some fans is that this break is happening after just two chapters, instead of the usual three-week cycle. But this is more of a preventive pause—better this than a real health issue, especially with how dense the Elbaf arc has become. Between Loki’s backstory, the royal family drama, and major revelations about the World Government, every page is packed with detail. If the quality stays high, it’s because Oda takes the time to do things right.

But don’t worry—the wait won’t be too long: chapter 1154 will be officially released on Sunday, July 13, 2025. You’ll be able to read it for free on Manga Plus or Viz Media, at the same time as fans around the world. For the impatient among you, early spoilers should start dropping on Thursday, July 10, as usual.

Sure, the frustration is real—and it’s understandable. The last chapter ended on a massive cliffhanger: revelations about King Harald, the shady actions of the World Government, and a flashback about Loki that promises to be intense. Many were hoping to dive right into the next chapter—but now we’ll just have to hold out one more week.
