Fans who are eagerly anticipating the next event to unfold in God Valley will now have to wait a bit longer, as One Piece Chapter 1161 has been delayed by a week. Following the explosive events that occurred in Chapter 1160, Eiichiro Oda is taking a short break before releasing the next installment.
As Oda sets up one of the most intense arcs in One Piece’s final saga, this brief pause has fans buzzing about what Oda has in store. Here’s everything you need to know about One Piece Chapter 1161’s delay, its new release date, and what to expect in the story.
Why One Piece Chapter 1161 Is Delayed
Eiichiro Oda is no stranger to breaks. The life of a mangaka is extremely exhausting, and over time, his schedule has shifted from taking one break every four weeks to sometimes pausing after just two chapters.
Following the stunning revelations of the God Valley Incident in Chapter 1160, Oda is briefly stepping back before continuing the story.
Originally due earlier, One Piece Chapter 1161 will now release on Sunday, September 28, 2025 (September 29 in Japan), as this month’s final chapter. The delay will also affect preview and raw scans, which are expected to drop around September 23-25, 2025, instead of their usual schedule.
