However, as is often the case with a series of this magnitude, the release has been met with both intense speculation and an unexpected delay.
The Unveiling of the God Valley Incident
Chapter 1161 left readers reeling as the full chaos of God Valley began to unfold. We witnessed a young Monkey D. Dragon still a Marine, barely escaping a deadly encounter with a fierce Holy Knight, only to be unintentionally saved by a pragmatic Whitebeard. The chapter also shed light on the tumultuous nature of the Rocks Pirates, showing key members like Whitebeard, Kaido, and Big Mom betraying their captain, Rocks D. Xebec, before they are suddenly interrupted by the arrival of Monkey D. Garp. Adding a layer of legendary romance, the chapter concluded with Silvers Rayleigh rescuing a young Shakky from the grasp of a Celestial Dragon, winning her heart as a prize of the brutal tournament. The stage is set for the legendary confrontation that would shake the foundations of the world.
Anticipation for One Piece Chapter 1162
Following such a dramatic setup, anticipation for Chapter 1162 focused squarely on the ultimate clash:
The Showdown with Rocks D. Xebec: Fans were expecting to finally witness the legendary battle that would cement Garp's title as the "Hero of the Marines" and potentially force an uneasy, temporary alliance between Garp and the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. The true extent of Rocks' power and his ultimate goal were poised to be revealed.
The Power of the Holy Knights: The introduction of the Holy Knights in this flashback hints at their formidable strength. Chapter 1162 was anticipated to further showcase their role in defending the Celestial Dragons and reveal more about their mysterious combat abilities.
A Deeper Look at the Legends: The chapter was expected to continue fleshing out the young versions of future legends Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Kaido providing crucial context for their motivations and the eventual disbanding of the Rocks Pirates.
An Unexpected Hiatus
Unfortunately for eager fans, Chapter 1162 has faced an unexpected delay. An official message from the Weekly Shonen Jump editorial department confirmed that author Eiichiro Oda is taking an unplanned break due to health issues. This sudden pause, though a cause for fan concern, serves as a reminder of the demanding schedule mangaka maintain and reinforces the necessity for Oda to prioritize his well-being.
The current expected release date for Chapter 1162 is Sunday, October 12, 2025. While this news is disappointing for those eager to continue the God Valley narrative, the well-being of the series' creator remains paramount.
Looking Forward
While the wait for Chapter 1162 is now extended, the ongoing God Valley flashback is already proving to be a landmark moment in One Piece history, filling in critical blanks in the world's lore. The chapter, once it arrives, promises to deliver an action-packed conclusion to this flashback, forever changing the way fans view the world's strongest figures and the history of the World Government. The legacy of Rocks, the true strength of Garp and Roger, and the lasting impact on the legendary pirates are moments that will undoubtedly make Chapter 1162 worth the extra wait.
