The official release week for One Piece Chapter 1143 has begun, with reports suggesting that the series will not take a break after its release. This information comes from reputable leaker and news source @pewpiece (Pew) on X (formerly Twitter), who is known for accurately sharing early details about the series’ schedule. While not yet officially confirmed, Pew’s track record makes it highly likely that Chapter 1144 will follow without a break.
With Chapter 1143 set to release on Monday, March 24, 2025, and no break planned afterward, this means Chapter 1144 will likely be released on Monday, March 31, 2025. This effectively confirms One Piece’s release schedule for the rest of March. Fans are thrilled at the prospect of uninterrupted weekly chapters, especially with the current developments in the Elbaph Arc.
Return to Oda’s Three-On-One-Off Release Cycle
The news of no break after Chapter 1143 suggests that mangaka Eiichiro Oda may be resuming his usual three-on-one-off release cycle. In recent years, Oda has followed this pattern, where he releases three consecutive chapters and then takes a break during the fourth week. If this holds, fans can expect Chapter 1145 to be released on Monday, April 7, 2025, before a likely break the following week.
Although sudden breaks due to health concerns or unforeseen circumstances are always possible, the lack of a scheduled break after Chapter 1143 strongly hints at a return to Oda’s typical rhythm. Given the current pace of the Elbaph Arc, this is particularly exciting news for fans. With both Loki and the Holy Knights making major moves, the nation of Giants is descending into chaos. A steady release of chapters over the next few weeks could bring significant developments in these intertwined plotlines.
Background and Adaptation Status
One Piece has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since July 1997 and is currently progressing through its final saga. The story has become one of the most influential and widely read manga of all time, maintaining strong fan interest even after nearly three decades.

Netflix’s live-action adaptation of One Piece has also seen success, with a second season currently in production. Reports suggest that a third season is already in pre-production.
