Following Chapter 1193’s dramatic developments, the wait for One Piece Chapter 1194 will be longer than usual. The delay is tied to an official magazine pause rather than Eiichiro Oda himself. So, here is the revised release timeline and everything confirmed so far.
When and Where To Read One Piece Chapter 1194?
Chapter 1194 releases in Japan on Monday, September 28, 2026, at 12:00 AM JST. For international readers, that means the chapter is accessible starting Sunday, September 27.
The delay isn’t one of Eiichiro Oda’s regular author breaks. Weekly Shonen Jump published Chapter 1193 as part of a combined Issue #42-43, which pushed the next release back to accommodate the magazine’s standard seasonal break. It’s a scheduling gap tied to the publication, not the author.

One Piece Chapter 1193 Recap and What to Expect Next
Chapter 1193 kept the focus on Elbaf’s escalating battles. Zoro tested a new application of Conqueror’s Haki against Saint Sommers, landing a strike that nearly reached the Holy Knight’s heart despite Sommers’ invulnerability. Meanwhile, Luffy’s body gave out after pushing Gear 5 to its limit in his fight against Imu.
The chapter also gave readers a brief glimpse of Loki’s transformation into a feral hybrid form, without revealing its full extent, and marked Gunko’s return to the story.
Zoro’s Haki breakthrough against Sommers is the clearest thread left open, since the chapter cut away before showing the full outcome of his attack. Loki’s hybrid form is also likely to get more panel time after being teased only in silhouette.
Luffy‘s condition following his exhaustion against Imu remains unresolved as well, and Gunko’s reappearance suggests the Holy Knights’ side of the conflict is about to expand.
