On Monday, April 21, 2025, the excitement surrounding the release of One Piece Chapter 1147 officially commenced. This event, however, will lead into a brief hiatus for the beloved series, attributed not to a voluntary decision by the esteemed mangaka Eiichiro Oda, but rather a scheduled publication break from Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump due to the upcoming Golden Week holiday.
Such breaks are customary, as Shueisha consistently observes a hiatus during Golden Week, providing fans with a familiar rhythm to the release schedule. This also sheds light on what to anticipate from Oda post-release of Chapter 1147, giving insights into the early May 2025 schedule for the manga.
Expected Schedule for One Piece Following Chapter 1147
With the confirmation of Shueisha’s publication break—while still unofficial—fans are gaining clarity about the future of the series. One Piece Chapter 1147 is slated for release on Monday, April 28, 2025, marking it as the final chapter before the Golden Week pause affecting Weekly Shonen Jump and its companion publications.
Following this break, the series is projected to return with Chapter 1148 on Monday, May 12, 2025. Although this may seem distant, there remains a possibility that some spoilers could surface before the official release of the chapter. Historically, occasional leaks have occurred during publication breaks as Oda often completes his work ahead of the hiatus, opening the door for insights into upcoming content.
While it’s not guaranteed, many fans recall similar instances in the past where reputable sources revealed hints or spoilers during such breaks, signaling that this could very well happen again.
In any case, fans can trust that Chapter 1147 will indeed be followed by a hiatus. Following its release on April 28, official platforms such as MANGA Plus and the Shonen Jump+ platform will reflect this break. Furthermore, other series within Weekly Shonen Jump are also expected to observe a publication break for Golden Week.
Since its serialization began in July 1997 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump, One Piece has continued to captivate audiences. Currently, the manga is navigating through its final saga, with an anticipated conclusion in the coming years. Complementing the manga, Toei Animation’s anime adaptation first premiered in October 1999 and has recently resumed airing following a six-month break, showcasing refreshed production values and a new timeslot.
