Monday, March 24, 2025, marked the start of the official release week for One Piece chapter 1144, with initial leaks confirming that the series will not be taking a break following the issue’s release. As a result, fans can expect chapter 1145 to be published on Monday, April 7, 2025, setting the tone for the manga’s release schedule for April.
The news comes from trusted leaker @pewpiece (Pew) on X, who has a strong track record of accurate updates regarding One Piece. This also aligns with Eiichiro Oda’s usual three-on-one-off release pattern, which has been consistent for several years.
April 2025 release schedule and Oda’s consistent rhythm
One Piece chapter 1144 is set to release officially on Monday, March 31, 2025, with chapter 1145 expected to follow a week later on Monday, April 7, 2025. If Oda continues his usual cadence, the series will likely publish chapter 1146 on Monday, April 21, after a one-week break. Chapter 1147 would then be scheduled for Monday, April 28, completing a three-chapter run for April.
For years, Oda has followed a three-on-one-off pattern, where three consecutive chapters are released before a planned one-week break. While this structure allows for a predictable release schedule, it remains subject to Oda’s health and any adjustments from Weekly Shonen Jump’s editorial team.

Given the established schedule, One Piece fans can reasonably expect this pattern to continue unless unforeseen circumstances arise. Any changes due to Oda’s health or adjustments from Weekly Shonen Jump will be communicated by reputable leakers like Pew or reflected on official platforms such as MANGA Plus.
Manga’s ongoing success and future outlook
One Piece began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in July 1997 and remains one of the longest-running and most influential manga in history. As the series approaches the climax of its final saga, anticipation remains high for the story’s conclusion.
Toei Animation’s anime adaptation, which first aired in October 1999, is also set to return in April 2025 following a six-month production overhaul. With both the manga and anime nearing major narrative milestones, the coming months are expected to be pivotal for the One Piece franchise.
