One Piece just landed one of the biggest moments in the entire Final Saga, and fans are already counting down to the next chapter to see what comes next.
Chapter 1186, titled “One More Time,” closed out Brook’s devastating Esperia flashback by confirming that Princess Shuri and Holy Knight Gunko are the same person, and that her father is the God’s Knight Manmayer Growlo.
Brook broke down at the sight of King Reuven’s body before asking his crewmates to help free Gunko from Ragnir’s ice. The chapter then shifted to Elbaf, where Imu began hinting at events from 800 years ago before Luffy arrived on the battlefield and punched him directly in the face. No buildup. No speech. Just Luffy doing what Luffy does.
When Does One Piece Chapter 1187 Release?
That cliffhanger is not sitting still for long. One Piece Chapter 1187 is expected to release globally on Sunday, July 5, 2026, at 10 AM ET. Japanese readers will get access slightly ahead of that on Monday, July 6, 2026, at 12 AM JST. No break is scheduled between chapters, so spoilers are expected to begin surfacing online between Wednesday, July 1, and Thursday, July 2, 2026.
Chapter 1186 already returned from a break on June 28, making this the first back-to-back release in several weeks. Oda had been traveling to South Africa to meet the cast and crew filming Season 3 of the live-action Netflix adaptation, which caused a string of delays across June. With that behind him, the schedule appears to be back on track heading into July.
