The official Twitter of the editorial department of Weekly Shonen Jump revealed that the One Piece manga will not appear in the magazine's 44th issue as previously planned.
The editorial department explained that the manga is on hiatus due to a " sudden illness " suffered by the author, Eiichiro Oda .
The secretariat informed that Oda is recovering and that the manga will return in the 46th edition of the magazine, which will therefore be released on October 17th .
One Piece has also suffered delays due to COVID-19 . Oda warned in May that further delays are possible as his team reorganized the workplace to facilitate social distancing.
