Normally, Oda follows a routine break schedule, pausing for one week between chapters.
But the fact that this week’s hiatus was unexpected has sparked concerns that the delay might extend further.
For now, nothing has been confirmed, so all eyes are on Oda’s team for the next update.
Despite the delay, OP1162 is expected to deliver a monumental continuation of the God Valley flashback.
Fans anticipate that the chapter will showcase the epic battle where Roger and Garp team up against Rocks D. Xebec, a clash that defined an era and earned Garp the title of Hero of the Marines.
This fight could also reveal hidden layers about Roger’s strength, the true scale of Rocks’ influence, and how this event reshaped the world of One Piece. With so much riding on this chapter, the delay only heightens the anticipation for what’s to come.
The news that One Piece Chapter 1162 is on break may be disappointing, but the wait promises to be worth it. Whether this pause is a precaution for Oda’s well-being or a necessary step in perfecting the story, OP1162 is shaping up to be one of the most crucial chapters in One Piece history. Until then, fans can only be patient and look forward to the moment when Roger, Garp, and Rocks finally clash in full glory
