One Piece Chapter 1199: Release Date, Where to Read, and What to Expect

One Piece Chapter 1198 ended with Luffy biting Zaza apart in a black-haired, ape-nosed form that nobody on Elbaph recognizes, and a break now sits between that image and the next chapter. Imu also revealed a third form, cut Loki down with one blow and said he must return to Mary Geoise or his life would be in danger.

So, here is everything you need to know about One Piece Chapter 1199, including its release date, global launch times, and what to expect.

One Piece Chapter 1199 Release Date and Time

One Piece Chapter 1199 releases on Sunday, November 22, 2026, at 10 am ET, which is 7 am PT. Readers in Japan get it at midnight on Monday, November 23, and that same moment lands at 8:30 pm IST on Sunday for readers in India.

The manga takes a one-week break after Chapter 1198, so there is no new chapter on November 15. US clocks already fell back on November 1, which keeps the release at 10 am ET, the same slot Chapter 1197 used.

What Happened in One Piece Chapter 1198?

Chapter 1198, titled, “Island of Monsters,” began by finishing the side fights on Elbaph. Sanji shattered Saint Killingham’s armor with a kick, and Killingham ran from him the way Sommers ran from Zoro. Zaza cut off her own arm and threw the kidnapped children onto the ship.

Imu then revealed his third form, an enormous creature with an elongated torso, a long neck and massive horns. Loki answered with his hybrid Zoan form, shown in full for the first time. Imu asked him about the ancient technology Elbaph holds, but Loki said he knew nothing about it.

Imu acknowledged Loki’s strength and ended the fight with one powerful blow. He then said he had to return to Mary Geoise as soon as possible or his life would be in danger. Luffy had already left the fight, and Loki admitted he never expected him to run in the middle of a battle.

Back among the giants, Gaban told Usopp that Luffy is a Zoan-type, and Luffy then appeared on a rooftop watching Zaza. He had black hair, a large ape-like nose, a tail and fangs. He jumped, grabbed Zaza’s body and bit it, and the body exploded, leaving the giants to ask who he was.

What To Expect From One Piece Chapter 1199

The chapter ended with the giants asking who Luffy was, so I expect Chapter 1199 to give us a full look at the new form. Gaban’s Zoan-type remark is the only hint so far, and nothing in Chapter 1198 says how the form connects to Gear 5.

Imu is the other open thread. He left Loki beaten, said he is close to his limit and turned his attention to Luffy. I think Chapter 1199 either brings Imu face to face with the new form or sends him back to Mary Geoise, since he said he must return soon.

Killingham is on the run, and Brook’s group still has to settle what happens with Gunko.
