One Piece Manga Release Schedule 2026: One Piece fans can relax, as the manga is not finishing in 2026 and the Elbaf arc continues through the year. Readers still have many chapters ahead, though several pauses are planned. Here is how the One Piece manga 2026 chapter rollout and story progress are currently expected to look.
Based on recent years, Eiichiro Oda is likely to deliver around 35 chapters during 2026, while also taking regular health breaks and magazine breaks. The pace inside each chapter is set to increase, yet the publication rhythm remains similar. The detailed One Piece manga 2026 timetable, including off weeks, is listed below for reference.
One Piece manga 2026 release schedule
The One Piece manga 2026 calendar is built around Weekly Shonen Jump issues and Oda’s own rest periods. As always, these dates can shift if extra breaks become necessary, but the plan currently outlines 35 chapters, 12 Oda breaks and 4 Weekly Shonen Jump magazine breaks across the year, starting with chapter 1170 in early January.

One Piece manga 2026 Elbaf arc progress
The One Piece manga 2026 storyline continues in Elbaf, where the focus recently shifted after Loki’s flashback closed in the previous year. With that look at Elbaf’s past complete, Oda now centres the narrative on the fierce clash between the giants and the God’s Knights, who have attacked the island under mysterious higher orders.
According to current expectations, this battle on Elbaf spans most of 2026, with Imu’s involvement growing more visible as the conflict escalates. The lengthy God Valley incident, featuring King Harald and Rocks D. Xebec, has already finished, freeing space in the chapters for the present-day war and the Straw Hats’ movements on the island.
“The story will be moving at a breakneck speed, but since I’ve aged much to my chagrin, I’ll take the liberty of maintaining my own health as we continue sailing next year at the fastest ONE PIECE speed. Festivities ahead! Get ready for a spectacular year!”
During Jump Festa 2026, Oda hinted that the Straw Hat Pirates could reach the final island within 2026, the same island visited only by the Pirate King’s crew. Oda also indicated that the trigger for the last great war would not be stretched for many years, suggesting Elbaf’s storyline reaches its climax before year end.
Based on that hint, many readers expect the Elbaf arc to close during the closing months of 2026, allowing Oda to set up the next destination and tease the broader final saga. For now, though, the focus stays on Elbaf’s giants, the God’s Knights and Imu’s role, with fans watching each weekly chapter for more clues.
One Piece manga 2026 final saga speculations
At the time of writing, both the One Piece manga and anime are on the Elbaf arc during 2026, keeping casual viewers and long-time readers aligned on the same major setting. The series has entered its final saga, but that saga is made of several arcs rather than one short closing chapter.
The story, therefore, is not in its very last arc yet. After Egghead and Elbaf, further arcs are expected inside this final saga, including a large-scale final war and an epilogue sequence. Elbaf itself is not the concluding arc, even if it leads closer to the last island and the long-anticipated conflict.
For 2026, the picture is clear: One Piece continues with the Elbaf arc, aims for about 35 chapters, and balances faster storytelling with scheduled health and magazine breaks. The timetable and arc expectations may shift slightly, but the manga’s end is still some distance away, with major events and a final war yet to unfold.
