In this latest hour, the One Piece manga finds itself basking in the glow of the Egghead arc, a narrative tapestry that promises to stand amongst the greatest in the illustrious annals of One Piece lore. Behold, for Oda has seen fit to illuminate the shadows shrouding many a mystery long left unanswered. And with the unveiling of Luffy’s Gear 5, the pages burst forth with a jubilant energy that grips the reader with an iron grasp. Alas, this revelry now faces an unexpected interlude, as a fresh missive from the creator Eiichiro Oda beckons us forth to witness the imminent pause of our cherished manga.
Behold, the grand maestro of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, now finds himself on the cusp of a pivotal chapter in his own tale. As the sacred scrolls of the One Piece Twitter account unfurled their decree, the revelation of the manga’s forthcoming hiatus echoed through the halls of fandom. Clasped within Oda’s message lay a revelation of great import – the specter of astigmatism, a relentless foe that stealthily blurs the eyes of its unwitting victims. Oda’s very work, it seems, has fallen prey to this unyielding adversary, prompting his resolve to embark upon a journey to vanquish this insidious malaise through the crucible of eye surgery.
In a solemn twist of fate, Oda’s decision to confront his ocular nemesis was met with the sober acknowledgment of his limitations. Having engaged in a year-long discourse with the venerable Chief Editor of Shonen Jump, Oda stood resolute in his resolve to beseech the gods of respite for a span of time wherein his eyes may be made whole once more. Thus, from the forthcoming issue bearing the mark of June 19 until the dawning of the 18th of July, the hallowed pages of One Piece shall fall silent, robbing eager fans of their weekly draught of steel and salt. Yet, in this hour of lamentation, let us not forget the welfare of our beloved artificer, Eiichiro Oda, as we extend unto him our fervent wish for a swift convalescence from the trials that now beset him.
