Readers are eager to learn when spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1170 will arrive. While spoilers are expected to drop according to the usual release pattern, fans will have to wait a little longer for the official chapter. Considering how the previous chapter ended, the delay feels even more difficult. So, what is the reason behind it?
Here is a breakdown of the release schedules for both early spoilers and the official chapter.
When to expect One Piece Chapter 1170 spoilers
According to current leaks, the manga will not be taking a break next week. As a result, fans can expect One Piece Chapter 1170 spoilers to surface online between Wednesday, December 24, and Thursday, December 25, 2025.
However, there is a catch. While spoilers are expected to arrive during that window, Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine will be on a holiday break. Because of this, the official release of Chapter 1170 has been delayed. The chapter will now release on Sunday, January 4, 2026, at 7 a.m. PT, 10 a.m. ET, and 9 a.m. CT in the United States. In Japan, readers will gain access on Monday, January 5, 2026, at 12 a.m. JST.
Spoilers for One Piece Chapter 1169.
What happened in One Piece Chapter 1169?
One Piece Chapter 1169, titled “I Must Die,” opened with Gaban revealing to Shanks that Garp has a son, whom Shanks views as a younger brother. Meanwhile, in Elbaph, Harald continues to struggle to stay conscious as Imu’s spell begins to take over his mind. He orders his Giant Soldier to kill him, while Loki and Jarul continue making their way toward the palace.
Back with Shanks, he is also heading to Elbaph. He plans to warn Harald against accepting the role of Knight of God. When Loki and Jarul arrive, Harald explains that he accepted Imu’s offer to work for the World Government, but they ultimately betrayed him. He pleads with Loki to eat the Devil Fruit, kill him, and expose the truth to Elbaph.
Soon after, Harald completely loses control, transforms into a monster, and begins attacking everyone around him. Moments later, Shanks and Gaban arrive and attempt to intervene. Their efforts fail, as Harald has fully descended into madness and cannot be saved. Meanwhile, when Loki enters the treasure room to retrieve the Devil Fruit, Ragnir’s hammer suddenly attacks him.
