One Piece Chapter 1191: Release Date and Time
Chapter 1191 is officially scheduled to launch globally on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET.
The manga has experienced a few scheduling pauses recently—largely due to creator Eiichiro Oda’s hands-on involvement with the third season of the live-action adaptation. Following this, Weekly Shonen Jump will take its customary break for Japan’s annual Obon festival, during which no new magazine chapters are published. Once this brief hiatus concludes, Eiichiro Oda’s story will return with a vengeance on August 23.
For readers in Japan, the chapter will be available on Monday, August 24, 2026, at 12:00 AM JST.

Recapping the Action So Far
The previous chapter delivered massive developments as Gaban made a dramatic entrance to rescue Luffy. Greeting the Straw Hat captain with a teasing remark, Gaban expressed mock disappointment that an old man had to step in to save him. He cautioned Luffy that the death of the Pirate King only brings joy to their enemies, since everyone is gunning for the ultimate throne. Gaban bluntly told Luffy to pack it in and go home if he expected to claim the title of Pirate King without enduring brutal trials.
Shifting gears, Gaban stepped up to face Imu single-handedly. In response, the menacing villain unsheathed a terrifying sword known as Honebami (Bone Eater). Using his formidable Shinmon: Hassen – Fukushu technique, Gaban dragged both himself and Imu down into the Underworld. The chapter drew to a close on a dramatic cliffhanger, showing Gaban taking a severe injury and leaving Luffy utterly shocked.
