This is the manga schedule for One Piece in April and May in 2024.

HIGHLIGHTS

 Oda took a long break for rest, but One Piece returns Apr 2
 Ch 1112 will feature the Straw Hat Pirates’ escape plan.
 Ch 1113 releases Apr 28, followed by a brief break due to Golden Week.

One Piece fans have had to endure quite a difficult time over the course of the last month or so, as the series has been on a long hiatus. This break was taken by Oda because he wanted to give himself the proper rest that he deserved.

Rocks D. Xebec has a huge role to play in One Piece’s final saga.

Of course, Oda’s hiatuses are never too long, and it is now time for the series to return. Naturally, after such a tumultuous time, a might be wondering as to what One Piece’s schedule will look like once it returns properly. There are plenty of things to be excited about when it comes to One Piece in the month of April, and of course, May is going to be absolutely sensational as well.

One Piece’s Long Hiatus

Oda Took A Long Break To Rest Properly

Oda usually doesn’t go on long hiatuses. Fans are fully aware that after every 3 weeks or so, Oda takes a week off and this helps him greatly in terms of planning out his story, and at the same time, resting himself properly. Of course, that rest is hardly enough. Given how difficult the schedule of mangaka is, Oda certainly deserves more rest, and the news that came out on the back of Toriyama’s passing likely had an impact on him as well. Oda mentioned it in his message that was released prior to him taking a break. Still, Oda’s health is fine, as he confirmed to the fans himself. However, that certainly does not mean that he can’t be careful.

And I want to give proper thought about what One Piece will be all about!

For the past 2 years, Oda has been taking a 3-week break around summer, and this year, he decided to take the break a bit earlier to properly rest his body and make sure that his story is going in the right direction. Oda announced this break towards the end of March, and now, the wait is almost done as One Piece will be looking to return later next week.

One Piece’s Return – Chapter 1112

Release Date: 21 April, 2024

One Piece stopped with chapter 1111, which saw the Five Elders fighting against Luffy, and of course, at the same time, the Straw Hat Pirates and the Vegapunks preparing for an exit from the island. This is quite a precarious situation on Egghead at the moment, and fans are certain of the fact that things are only going to get more exciting from here onwards. One Piece will mark its return with chapter 1112, which is all set to release officially on 21 April, 2024. This chapter is going to be absolutely sensational, and fans will most likely get to see the escape Plan of the Straw Hat Pirates proceed.

Of course, this Escape is going to be very difficult to pull off, given that all Five Elders are on the island, and of course, at the same time, Vegapunk’s message is yet to be released. That said, the Straw Hats certainly cannot fall here, which means that fans will have to wait and see what way Oda prepares for the crew to escape safely from this island, and, at the same time, save face for the Five Elders.

Things are most certainly going to be incredibly exciting, and this is especially true because One Piece chapter 1112 will mark the return of the series after a 3-week break. Fans will surely be extremely excited to see what Oda has prepared for them, and now, the weight is almost over.

One Piece Chapter 1113

Release Date: 28 April, 2024

Thankfully, One Piece won’t go on another break after chapter 1112. At the very least, Oda will release two chapters consecutively following his return from break. One Piece chapter 1113 is most likely due one week after chapter 1112. This means One Piece chapter 1113 will come out around April 28, 2024. This chapter is most likely still going to be in Egghead, as the arc still has some ways to go before it wraps up fully. The Straw Hat Pirates will most likely still be dealing with the threat of the Five Elders, and at the same time, fans will most likely get to see the Iron Giant, among the other characters on the island, take some massive steps and aid the escape of the crew. One Piece chapter 1113 will most certainly be exciting for the fans in many ways, and it is going to be incredibly interesting to see how the Egghead Island arc shapes from here onwards.

One Piece Goes On Break Again

Golden Week Means One Piece Will Go On Break

Sadly, with the release of One Piece chapter 1113, the series is expected to go on another 1-week break. This isn’t specific to One Piece. In fact, this break is going to be one for the entire Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.

This One Piece character causes Oda a lot of trouble.

This is because Golden Week is coming in Japan, and during this time, every year, the series goes on a break. It is unfortunate that fans will not get to witness a run of chapters before the series goes on break again, however, at the very least, fans can rest assured that they will get to read two chapters before witnessing another long break.

One Piece Continues Into May

One Piece Chapter 1114 Resumes 14 May, 2024

Following the break that comes after One Piece chapter 1113, fans will most definitely see One Piece continue into May. One Piece chapter 1114 will be released on 14 May 2024, and at this point, fans might actually get to see the Egghead Island arc wrap up. The story is continuing with great intensity right now, and, given that the Straw Hats are trying to escape already, fans might actually get to see this arc wrap up in the month of May. One Piece chapter 1114 will have greatly advanced the plot in many ways, and around this time, Vegapunk’s message might actually be very close. In fact, it is entirely possible the fans will get to see Vegapunk’s message in May, and One Piece chapter 1114 is a great contender for this message to finally come out.

Of course, there is no confirmation at this point as to whether Vegapunk will even be able to get his message out or not. However, fans do remain hopeful. Following One Piece chapter 1114, fans might actually get to experience another week break, this time from Oda. This is down to the fact that Oda usually takes a break after every three chapters, and if he maintains this schedule, then, a break after chapter 1114 is to be expected. Of course, this is not set in stone. Given that Oda has recently taken a 3-week long break, he might skip taking a break immediately after chapter 1114. Still, fans should keep in mind that, at the moment, there might actually be a break after chapter 1114.

I will draw all the mysteries left in this world that I have been hiding until now!

Following that, fans will most likely get to see a continued stretch of One Piece chapters, with the conclusion of the Egghead Island arc coming and at the same time, the beginning of the Elbaf arc on the horizon as well. From here onwards, things are going to be incredibly exciting for One Piece fans, and all they need to do is sit back and wait for Oda to deliver.

One Piece is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of One Piece, One Piece 1112, is set to be April 21, 2024.
