One Piece Manga on One-Week Break as Plot Intensifies; Ch 1026 Delayed

One Piece is one of those few manga that are on frequent breaks. The delays happen too often to be surprised by them anymore, but fans do show their concern for the mangaka, Eiichiro Oda.

Oda hasn’t been in the best of health lately and he still has the determination to continue with the manga. With an ever-intensifying plot in motion, One Piece fans will have to wait for a new chapter once again patiently.

Chapter 1026 of the One Piece manga will be on a short one-week break. It will be published on September 26, 2021.

Initially scheduled for release on September 19, it has been shifted to publish on Issue #43 of Weekly Shonen Jump.

Chapter 1025 will still be released on the scheduled date, September 12. 

In the latest chapter, Yamato’s flashback has been shown as Kaido attacks her. He will not spare even his own daughter if she dares to disgrace him by honoring Oden.

This is not the first time she has been mistreated because, as a child, she was locked up due to her potential and admiration towards Oden. The few people she had gotten close to in that prison were killed by Kaido as well.

Their battle in the present will not drag on for too long, but the odds are visibly against Yamato in this case.

Luffy is yet to join the battle with Momonosuke, and it won’t be long before the manga shows him. Chapter 1026 will thus be caught in the middle of this heated exchange.

Look for it; I left all of it at that place.” These words sent many to the seas, chasing their dreams, headed toward the Grand Line, in search of One Piece. Thus began a new age!

His diverse crew is joining him along the way, consisting of a swordsman, marksman, navigator, cook, doctor, archaeologist, and cyborg-shipwright, this will be one memorable adventure.
