The One Piece manga continues to raise the stakes as the God Valley Incident arc unfolds, keeping fans on edge with each new chapter.
With Eiichiro Oda’s storytelling and artwork showing no signs of slowing down, readers are eager to see how the chaos in God Valley will progress in the upcoming release.
According to Shueisha’s official schedule, One Piece chapter 1162 will be released on October 5, 2025. Fans worldwide can read the chapter digitally on two main platforms:
Viz Media: Offers the latest three chapters for free, with older chapters accessible through a paid subscription.
MANGA Plus (Shueisha): Available on both iOS and Android devices, allowing readers to enjoy chapters for free, although each chapter can only be read once without a subscription.
These platforms ensure global fans have legal and timely access to the series.
The previous chapter was packed with action, showcasing the escalating conflict in God Valley. Vice Admiral Garp and his fleet finally arrived, throwing the battlefield into complete pandemonium. Concern for Shakuyaku’s safety was front and center, while readers witnessed Monkey D. Dragon attempting to save two babies as a form of redemption for his involvement in a cruel game.
One of the God Knights, revealed to be Satchels Maffey, confronted Dragon. She was ordered to collect the children and was stunned to discover Garling’s connection to them. Although she managed to capture one child, Dragon seized the moment to flee when the Rocks Pirates, including legends like Edward Newgate and Kaido, appeared on the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Garp struck fear into the pirates with his overwhelming presence, reminding everyone why he would one day be remembered as the “Hero of the Marines.” The chapter ended on a tense note as Shakuyaku was cornered by Sommers, only to be saved in time by Silvers Rayleigh, setting the stage for even greater confrontations ahead.
The upcoming chapter is likely to shift its spotlight toward Vice Admiral Garp’s clash with the pirates. Fans have long anticipated seeing Garp’s true power during the God Valley Incident, and this could be the moment Oda finally delivers. His reputation as one of the Marines’ greatest heroes suggests the battle will be a turning point in the flashback arc.
Another key thread involves Dragon’s escape with one of the children. If confirmed, this could spark major fallout, particularly from Figarland Garling, once he learns of Maffey’s failure. The miscommunication and its consequences could escalate tensions even further.
With the God Valley Incident arc progressing steadily, readers can expect a mix of high-stakes combat and deeper insights into the origins of several legendary characters. While flashback arcs sometimes divide opinion among fans, Oda’s execution has been universally praised so far, promising that Chapter 1162 will deliver both action and emotional weight.
One Piece chapter 1162 will release on October 5, 2025, continuing the dramatic events of the God Valley Incident. With Garp’s strength, Dragon’s decisions, and the looming threat of the Rocks Pirates, the upcoming chapter could provide some of the most memorable moments of the flashback. Fans should prepare for another explosive entry in Oda’s masterpiece.
