One Piece Chapter 1186 Delayed to Late June 2026 Amid Author’s Scheduled Break

Chapter 1186 of Eiichiro Oda’s manga One Piece will be published at the end of June 2026, with the official English‑language release slated for Sunday 28 June 2026 (U.S.) and the Japanese digital release on early Monday 29 June 2026. The delay follows Oda’s agreement with publisher Shueisha to insert a one‑week rest after every three chapters, a rhythm that also accounts for his recent travel to supervise the Netflix live‑action adaptation of One Piece Season 3 in Cape Town, South Africa.

Fans can expect the first spoiler leaks between 24‑25 June 2026, as community leakers usually share brief plot outlines and rough scans ahead of the formal launch. The preceding chapter ended on a cliffhanger in the kingdom of Esperia, featuring characters Shuri, King Reuven and the mysterious Domi Reversi effect, prompting widespread speculation ahead of the upcoming arc.

The release timing will be staggered: U.S. readers will see the chapter at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET, while Japanese readers will receive it at 12 a.m. JST. The pause does not affect the storyline beyond the scheduled break, and the manga will resume its weekly cadence after the hiatus.
