After the gut punch that was One Piece Chapter 1189, fans have been counting down the days until Elbaph’s biggest showdown continues. The wait has felt longer than usual, and there’s a very specific reason for that.
Chapter 1189 ended with Luffy pinned down and nearly finished off by Nerona Imu, who unleashed a string of legendary weapons tied to the founding families of the World Government. Just as things looked hopeless, Scopper Gaban, Gol D. Roger’s old right hand, stepped in and blocked the killing blow. It was one of the biggest cliffhangers the Final Saga has delivered, and it left the entire fandom desperate for what comes next.
Making the wait worse, Eiichiro Oda announced another short break right after that chapter dropped, pushing the next release back by an extra week. Naturally, fans want to know exactly when they can stop refreshing Manga Plus.
One Piece Chapter 1190 Release Date and Time Confirmed
One Piece Chapter 1190 is officially scheduled to release in Weekly Shonen Jump’s double issue 37-38 on Sunday, August 9, 2026, for international readers, with the chapter going live in Japan at 12 a.m. JST on Monday, August 10.
Breaking that down for other time zones, the chapter drops at 11 a.m. ET, 8 a.m. PDT, and 4 p.m. BST on Sunday, August 9, with readers in India seeing it around 8:30 p.m. IST that same evening.
Chapter 1190 will be available for free through the official Manga Plus app and Viz Media, both of which post new English chapters the moment they go live worldwide.
The chapter is expected to pick up directly with Gaban facing off against Imu while Luffy recovers from his injuries. Zoro and Sanji are also dealing with their own threats now that Sommers and Killingham have gotten their hands on ancient royal weapons, and there’s still the open question of what Gunko might reveal once she wakes up.
With Oda already confirming a follow-up magazine break, Chapter 1191 isn’t expected until August 23, 2026, giving fans just enough time to catch their breath before Elbaph’s biggest fight yet keeps unfolding.
