The hype surrounding One Piece Chapter 1162 (OP1162) has reached new heights as fans eagerly await more details about the legendary God Valley Incident.
In recent chapters, Garp fearlessly clashed with powerful pirates, while a young Rayleigh rescued Shakky, who would later become his partner.
With the spotlight now shifting toward the much-anticipated battle between Roger, Garp, and Rocks D. Xebec, excitement has never been greater.
However, recent reports confirm that One Piece Chapter 1162 is officially on break this week, leaving fans both surprised and concerned.
Author Eiichiro Oda has taken an unplanned hiatus, postponing the release of OP1162 despite earlier expectations that the manga would continue without interruption.
Yes, OP1162 will not be released this week. After Chapter 1160, the manga went on its usual scheduled break, followed by the release of Chapter 1161.
At the time, it was confirmed that no further breaks were planned, fueling anticipation for Chapter 1162. But according to the latest updates, Oda has decided to take a sudden rest, pushing back the highly awaited continuation of the God Valley storyline.
As of now, the reason behind the OP1162 delay remains undisclosed. Many fans speculate that this sudden break could be related to Oda’s health, while others believe we may receive an official explanation in the upcoming Weekly Shonen Jump issue. Until then, readers can only wait for confirmation regarding the manga’s release schedule.
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
