One Piece will be absent from Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #30 to Issue #33, and the series will continue with Issue #34, which will come out on July 25th. However, the community will get two One Piece chapters back-to-back this month without any breaks.

Of course, several fans fear that One Piece will end soon as the manga is in its Final Saga, but that might not be the case. The Four Emperors Saga, which includes the Wano country arc, ran for around seven years. Well, it's safe to say that the Final Saga would run for several years as well, so we might not have to say our goodbyes to One Piece anytime soon.
