One Piece Breaks Hiatus Streak with Back-to-Back Chapters!

The opening of the Elbaf Arc in One Piece has been captivating, but frequent pauses in publication have slowed its momentum considerably. Post-holiday, viewers observed a rather dull phase for the franchise – a historical low point. However, following Chapter 1136, the manga appears to be regaining its stride. The delays during the filming of live-action adaptations caused One Piece to take multiple unforeseen breaks. After the first season exploded in popularity worldwide in 2023, the manga resumed its regular schedule before Season 2 commenced production. As the head honcho of the series, Oda is frequently occupied with its management. Additionally, he requires periodic rest periods to recharge.

Despite a decrease in chapter releases for the last few months, fans’ enthusiasm for Oda remains undiminished. Following Chapter 1136, the much-anticipated next two chapters of One Piece will drop each week without any interruptions, as reported by a trusted source @pewpiece, known for its leaks about the manga. This information seems to originate from claystage.com’s popular annual schedule for One Piece releases in 2025. The last instance of consecutive chapters was in October, with the unveiling of Chapters 1128, 1129, and 1130. Currently, the manga is delving into the mystery of Shanks’ doppelganger and Gunko. Fans are eagerly awaiting intriguing plot twists in the upcoming chapters as they anticipate learning more about Shanks’ lookalike.

What Is Happening in One Piece’s Elbaf Arc?

Upon the team’s landing on Elbaf, the Giants host a joyous feast to greet them. After 22 years apart, Robin and Saul meet again following the devastating Ohara Incident. The comic series also introduces Prince Loki, who was put on display in the underworld for slaying his father, King Herald, out of greed for a powerful devil fruit. The giants share that Loki has consistently stirred up trouble in their settlements. However, he went too far when he murdered his own father to seize a potent devil fruit.

He managed to escape into the ocean and elude capture, but Shanks ultimately tracked him down. In the midst of celebrations, Elbaf is grappling with its most significant danger yet. Two Holy Knights have infiltrated the underworld with the intention of recruiting Loki, the Cursed Prince of Elbaf. Loki, being the strongest giant, finds it remarkable to receive an invitation to join the ranks of a Holy Knight – a position traditionally held only by World Nobles.

Despite having the chance, Loki chooses not to take advantage of their assistance. Meanwhile, the Prince mocks the Celestial Dragons in the presence of someone resembling Shanks. The forthcoming chapters delve into the state of the underworld, potentially revealing more about the Shanks’ doppelganger. Given his animosity towards the World Nobles, it’s likely that Loki will persist in snubbing and antagonizing them even more.

In the meantime, it’s possible that the Holy Knights have a larger objective than simply apprehending Loki. It has been the ambition of the World Government to ally with Elbaf, the most powerful nation in existence. Unbeknownst to Luffy and his companions, this information might soon reach the Sun World, the region where all Elbaf villages reside. Additionally, the storyline is delving into the history of Nika, a subject that fans have been eagerly anticipating.
