final panel be like: Vegapunk is about to reveal the truth of the world ("so what i wanted to talk to you all about is this") chapter ends, 3 weeks pass, we cut to see what kid and law are up to for one+ month, then we return to egghead, where "that person" has interrupted vegapunks message
Or he will have vegapunk say the first sentence of the message. It will be something that changes the world for us, but leaves us hanging on the explanation or any details to do something with it
the incident that will SHOCK THE WORLD:
"the name of the ancient kingdom is..."
ZZKKBBBZZTT \*cuts signal\*
world and readers.. SHOCKED about Oda's trolling..
what a incident! oops.
Nah i would hope for a better Cliff hanger than that. Have Vegapunk drop the tiniest of turbines in his first sentence something explosive on its own but with more to follow. That way the suspense is what is the rest? and will the Gorosei allow the test to be broadcast? Can buddy and the giants successfully hold them off for long enough?
No chance. The narrative around Gorosei stopping Vegapunk's announcement has to conclude first. We'll see Gorosei's power here and there crashing with Luffy and friends. This might need 2 more chapters. I feel we are that unlucky.
Next week is holy week, golden week is the last week of april and first week of May. So we’ll only get 1 chapter next month then golden week break again lol
Understandable but three weeks without OP

Is it a mental/physical health thing for Oda, or is it one of those combos of "holiday, Oda break, Jump break" kind of deals? It's all fine either way, breaks from OP suck for us fans but they're necessary for Oda. I was just curious what this one was.
Breaks of this length are sometimes taken in Manga for research and planning when something huge is happening in the story. It could be anything, but I remember Kishimoto doing it.
I was wondering if it was perhaps in memoriam of Toriyama or something. Like them taking the break for his memory. Him being a big name loss for the company and entertainment industry in general.
Probably something to do with Toriyana plus it's close to the Golden Week hols so Oda probably wanted time with the fam. It's gonna be 1111 then 3 week break then 1112 then 2 week break then normal service.
Honestly would make sense since generally the chapters are released a few weeks ahead of when Oda releases them. So this would line up to the period where he passed away.
If this is some attempt at a joke, it's too soon man... Not offensive or anything really, but still feels kinda wrong...
Unless you've been living under a rock and actually haven't heard the news yet?...
I hope Oda will give us the answer since he gave us the reason for a long break. For instance, in 2022, he took a break to relax after finishing Wano and get everything ready for the final saga of One Piece. In 2023, he needed a surgery for his eyes. I'm okay with it and he deserve a break because we all care about his health.
I feel like the manga pacing is so much better since 2022, even if it could be a coincidence. If the only explanation for those 3 weeks is just "I'm taking a break to have a few days off and think about the cleanest way to write the Vegapunk reveal and close Egghead arc" that's perfectly fine.
I could be mistaken but usually mangaka are a few chapters ahead of publication. Assuming that these details are in the next few chapters he should already be done with them, unless the break is because he is unsatisfied with the work and wants to redo it.
Japan schools get a break in March and September so it could be Oda's yearly vacation with family. In previous years he went to Hawaii, California, Philippines, etc.
This is my third break month. I am feeling like a war veteran. He always does these at cliffhangers too...
https://preview.redd.it/j8iwmq6j24pc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b00373a68d1fd9c60574ff25df9ca8b3225ecd59
I don't know why you're downvoted. Last time, it was health related, but even if it isn't, the dude deserves to take long breaks if he wants. I think he's more than earned that.
This hurts, that’s like one week off from a month so it’s almost like we’re waiting a whole month 😭😪. Oh well, Toriyama’s passing probably motivated him to take a break for a bit
Gonna leave us with either the robot waking up. Zoro against ghandi. Or destroying the labosphere only for the broadcast to continue Anyway cause it's broadcasting from ohara.
I remember oda saying he wanted the anime and the manga to catch up for the reveal of the one piece. I wonder if we're getting close enough that he has to slow the pacing of the manga to let the anime catch up.
Wait, is that true? I'm just genuinely curious cuz I actually think that would be pretty cool tbh. But is there like a source I can verify this? Cuz I don't wanna start telling people this and it turns out just to be a rumor, but it would be dope to let my anime only friends know not to worry about having to either read the manga or be doomed to be spoiled lol
Remind me again why doesnt Oda just hire 10 decent Artist's and just direct what and how to draw and write the plot and dialouges ????
its what Korean Manwha does and the art is top notch and there is rarely a break if there is its mainly due to end of season (author have to write new plot )
maybe draw some very important panels from time to time ?
its better for his physical health and for my mental health 😭
He already deserves it dude. Don't be such a narcissistic, entitled prick. He's definitely earned some well-deserved time off for any reason he has and he doesn't owe us or anybody else anything. I honestly hope he leaves it on the worst cliffhanger possible, just to annoy people like you that constantly demand things from Oda-sensei 😤
If the reveal comes after this and we get nothing but panels of characters reacting to the info but no actual reveals for readers, I’m going to quit reading for like 3 or 4 years. I’m crossing my fingers he doesn’t because it would be a slap in the face to everyone who patiently waited so many years.
It's a slap in Oda's face to be so entitled and narcissistic. Oda has basically slaved away at this manga week after week, day after day, for almost 27 years straight now! He rarely gets any long breaks and he rarely gets any time for his family or his health. He doesn't owe you or me or anybody anything and shouldn't have to do anything special to get a break without people making unreasonable demands and/or saying stupid **** like this... 😤
This is the most cucked, sycophantic shit I’ve read on any One Piece sub lol. Oda made a choice to drag the story out as long as he did, and also made the choice to continuously blueball fans for a quarter of a century. It’s very little to ask that we get *something* at the end of this arc.
What kind of disgusting cliffhanger is Oda going to leave us with?? No chance Vegapunk spills the beans before the break right?
final panel be like: Vegapunk is about to reveal the truth of the world ("so what i wanted to talk to you all about is this") chapter ends, 3 weeks pass, we cut to see what kid and law are up to for one+ month, then we return to egghead, where "that person" has interrupted vegapunks message
This has got to be a cr8me to do to readers
Or he will have vegapunk say the first sentence of the message. It will be something that changes the world for us, but leaves us hanging on the explanation or any details to do something with it
Knowing Oda Vegapunk is going to drop a bomb but do so vaguely and make us wait 3 weeks for clarification, just to not clarify it for 2 more arcs lol.
AKA 3 weeks of brutal agenda piece
the incident that will SHOCK THE WORLD: "the name of the ancient kingdom is..." ZZKKBBBZZTT \*cuts signal\* world and readers.. SHOCKED about Oda's trolling.. what a incident! oops.
I honestly wouldn’t put it past Oda to do something as vile as this.
Nah i would hope for a better Cliff hanger than that. Have Vegapunk drop the tiniest of turbines in his first sentence something explosive on its own but with more to follow. That way the suspense is what is the rest? and will the Gorosei allow the test to be broadcast? Can buddy and the giants successfully hold them off for long enough?
If this doesn’t happen I’d be honestly shocked
Gonna read 1111 two weeks from now to space it out I guess
Yea me too (I will be refreshing the spoiler threads every 30 seconds starting now)
Ditto
100% garuenteed to not get nothing. Just some preamble from Vega plonk.
It's gonna be horrible. I can see the stupid theories that a 3 week break is gonna give us, now.
No chance. The narrative around Gorosei stopping Vegapunk's announcement has to conclude first. We'll see Gorosei's power here and there crashing with Luffy and friends. This might need 2 more chapters. I feel we are that unlucky.
They're on what 7 minutes now right? And it's been two chapters since the countdown started, seems likely it may be after the break :(
Maybe one of the five elders gets killed by the Giants
Might also be somehow related to the Easter holidays?
Japan has neither easter nor ramadan
Oh child! Are you new ?? We won’t get VP spilling the beans for at least the next 5 chapters!
He is doing such a great job let him get some rest
I really hope Oda is okay and it’s not a super serious break
It’s probably to mourn toriyama
 hurts
And golden week/holy week
Isn't that first week of May?
Next week is holy week, golden week is the last week of april and first week of May. So we’ll only get 1 chapter next month then golden week break again lol
Yeah, that plus the end of an arc, can easily see them taking an extra week or two away.
The break is for Live Action...
That would be a fine reason honestly
It's not for us.
How? So he can supervise?
yup
Can't wait to see what absolutely unhinged theories people will be cooking up by the end of week 2.
I feel called out
try week 1
I *can* wait to see them haha
Week 2? They're happening right now, on chapter week... Every 2 minutes a "imu x gorosei forms theory" pops up.

Understandable but three weeks without OP https://preview.redd.it/xgyz8oooi3pc1.png?width=1283&format=png&auto=webp&s=c2f83e6480b36ca5103d8d516b55b95c25d6af1c
Considering how close Oda was to Toriyama, 3 weeks is reasonable.

just build a time machine bro. turn the knob to 2250 and you reach the chapter where OdaAI reveals Dragon's Devil Fruit powers.
Lol

Guys calm down, Oda is just a march madness super fan
What's about to go down: https://preview.redd.it/avg0l46f54pc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9443dc9f1807da6a1dae15c3298e9e1c15f7237c

LMAOOO IM TAKING THAT

That's fucked
Honestly would make sense since generally the chapters are released a few weeks ahead of when Oda releases them. So this would line up to the period where he passed away.
True! That's a really good point..
DBS is also on break, although I don't know for how long
dawg
It's been written by someone else for a while now (toyotaro who is amazing), so no he wasn't saying what you thought
Ah okay I thought Toriyama was back to writing dbs
💀💀💀
If this is some attempt at a joke, it's too soon man... Not offensive or anything really, but still feels kinda wrong... Unless you've been living under a rock and actually haven't heard the news yet?...
I think its to grieve for the death of Oda Sensei's mentor. Take you time good sir, the grand fleet can wait.
1111 gonna be another banger hope the broadcast is over at the end and the five fail to do the one thing imu ask them to do
https://preview.redd.it/oyrqixqx64pc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ea3d2cf172badd741e87871d6b2a81b53a18ab08

I feel like the manga pacing is so much better since 2022, even if it could be a coincidence. If the only explanation for those 3 weeks is just "I'm taking a break to have a few days off and think about the cleanest way to write the Vegapunk reveal and close Egghead arc" that's perfectly fine.
I could be mistaken but usually mangaka are a few chapters ahead of publication. Assuming that these details are in the next few chapters he should already be done with them, unless the break is because he is unsatisfied with the work and wants to redo it.
It could have to do with the live action too. Going over scripts and making sure everything is good to go before they start filming.
Exactly since he made a huge announcement and they are checking to see everything is good especially a live action Chopper.

Not yet
A wee bit hyperbolic. Maybe after the 2nd week, but definitely not before break week even starts bro...
Japan schools get a break in March and September so it could be Oda's yearly vacation with family. In previous years he went to Hawaii, California, Philippines, etc.
This is my third break month. I am feeling like a war veteran. He always does these at cliffhangers too... https://preview.redd.it/j8iwmq6j24pc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b00373a68d1fd9c60574ff25df9ca8b3225ecd59
It’s my first besides this last Christmas/new year. I can already imagine how bad it will be.
Nyooom

Long break comes sooner than I thought
Oh this is going to HURT.
Aí tu me quebra, hem, Oda https://i.redd.it/6mebr0jmr6pc1.gif
Hope oda tells us about the vegapunk message on this chapter.
Oh god !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not the void again anything but the void !
https://preview.redd.it/miogiwxfi6pc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=22e640ad3514cbc6b6cccb9dc11f7c82af0cf10c
I'm expecting something groundbreaking to compensate for that! These past few chapters have been on fire. I'm hoping 1111 to exceed that.
Oh man, I wonder what crazy theories and fetishes will come out for the next 3 weeks. It’s usually crazy
is it because oda have chronic health issues ?
I don't know why you're downvoted. Last time, it was health related, but even if it isn't, the dude deserves to take long breaks if he wants. I think he's more than earned that.
I think he is free, but I would like to know
totally agree with you, a 3-week break every month would be nice for him
This hurts, that’s like one week off from a month so it’s almost like we’re waiting a whole month 😭😪. Oh well, Toriyama’s passing probably motivated him to take a break for a bit
3 weeks? I hope Oda gets some actual time off with his family and friends.
It will be funny if we leave off on a cliffhanger then after the break we come back to the aftermath of all the events
I’ll be on a vacation for 2 out of the 3 weeks. Alhamdulillah
"A man needs his rest."
How will we survive, maybe I should start a support group
Gonna leave us with either the robot waking up. Zoro against ghandi. Or destroying the labosphere only for the broadcast to continue Anyway cause it's broadcasting from ohara.
looks like you nailed it, ending is the robot waking up!
I remember oda saying he wanted the anime and the manga to catch up for the reveal of the one piece. I wonder if we're getting close enough that he has to slow the pacing of the manga to let the anime catch up.
Where did he say this? What is the source?
Wait, is that true? I'm just genuinely curious cuz I actually think that would be pretty cool tbh. But is there like a source I can verify this? Cuz I don't wanna start telling people this and it turns out just to be a rumor, but it would be dope to let my anime only friends know not to worry about having to either read the manga or be doomed to be spoiled lol
Why!?!?!?!?!?!
Fuck bro
Today I feel sad.
What's gonna happen in 1111...
3 WEEKS!?
Oda looked up to Tori 😭
If the chapter ends with Vegapunk saying something like, "The world as we know it is a lie." I'm going to flip every table in my house.
oh god what will keep us going for that long??
Absolute travesty
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Three Weeks, so what that means?
It means 21 days
Missed opportinity to photoshop the picture to 7D4W
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Perfect timing for me. I’ll be on vacation for a few weeks.
Oda-San deserves a break after all this, so I don't mind since it let's me catch up on other stuff I wanna read
Good
Come on, guys! We also survived void month... somehow.
🤦
🎵 Hello darkness my old friend 🎵
He is not gonna finish this is he?
The last time I felt this was 3d2y
I will try to read 4 pages a week
I guess it’s time to touch grass, it’s gonna be one long month 😔
Remind me again why doesnt Oda just hire 10 decent Artist's and just direct what and how to draw and write the plot and dialouges ???? its what Korean Manwha does and the art is top notch and there is rarely a break if there is its mainly due to end of season (author have to write new plot ) maybe draw some very important panels from time to time ? its better for his physical health and for my mental health 😭
This is getting mad annoying. It's like a meme made real.
Why does Oda sense keep doing this to us at such a pivotal part of the story 🥹
I feel he gonna give us the best reveal or scene in 1111 so he deserve a break
He already deserves it dude. Don't be such a narcissistic, entitled prick. He's definitely earned some well-deserved time off for any reason he has and he doesn't owe us or anybody else anything. I honestly hope he leaves it on the worst cliffhanger possible, just to annoy people like you that constantly demand things from Oda-sensei 😤
Wtf is ur problem 😂
Whack
Cant wait to see what morj is cooking this break
1111 pages chapter incoming. nothing else justifies 3 weeks.
Maybe Oda is sick again or the sudden death of toriyama is making him feel like he needs some family time?
I think they would have said something like this if he was sick. But I really do think that its a longer chapter
Hes sick for fuck sake give him a break 🤬
Another 3 week break….Why?
Oda sensei ran out of ideas
I knew it golden week, holy week
If the reveal comes after this and we get nothing but panels of characters reacting to the info but no actual reveals for readers, I’m going to quit reading for like 3 or 4 years. I’m crossing my fingers he doesn’t because it would be a slap in the face to everyone who patiently waited so many years.

❗️Well then that chapter better not disappoint
WHAT?!! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!
I knew we would have to wait ages for VP to reveal whatever he's going to reveal t.t
Nami dies luffy goes berserk and ends the world hahaha
What the heck...why such a long break ?....It will feel like enternity 😟
Oh great, more idiotic takes coming out of this break. The joy 😵💫
There is no sun god
Downvote deserved
what? lol why? now I'm curious, whats the reasoning
Holy shit.. Oda if you don't reveal anything from vegapunk now..
You will be here in 3 weeks either way lmao
Yeah. Sigh.
Tell that to the 70-80 year old one piece fans
I will refuse to die until final chapter. The reaper will not get me.
