One Piece Chapter 1186: Release Date, Where to Read, and What to Expect

After a heavy and emotional release with Chapter 1185, the One Piece Chapter 1186 is set to return on Sunday, June 28, 2026, at 8:00 am Pacific Daylight Time (PDT) after a week’s break.

The break comes as Eiichiro Oda traveled to South Africa to visit the cast and crew currently filming Season 3 of One Piece‘s live-action Netflix adaptation, a trip that has caused similar delays during the production of the show’s first two seasons.

The previous chapter, Chapter 1185, titled “Minja Own Beeswax“, was one of the most emotional chapters in the final saga so far, featuring a flashback from Brook and Gunko. The ending of the chapter is where things go south, and the entire narrative takes one of the most grim turns in Brook’s life.

The upcoming One Piece Chapter 1186 is scheduled for release on June 28, 2026, at 8:00 am PDT globally. The upcoming week is a break week, as Oda flew to South Africa to catch up with the cast and crew filming Season 3 of the live-action adaptation. As a result, the chapter is delayed from its normal June 21 release to June 28. While Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine drops the One Piece chapters at midnight in Japan, global audiences can read them earlier on websites like Viz Media and Manga Plus.

Without further ado, here is the list of the release date and time for Chapter 1186 for every major US time zone (via MangaPlus). Furthermore, we have also included some global time zones for your convenience as well:

Where to Read One Piece Chapter 1186?

One of the good things about the One Piece manga is that the legal sources are very limited, which makes reading and finding the chapters really easy. Only two online platforms and their app counterparts offer the chapters as they are released: Viz Media and Manga Plus.

However, please keep in mind that many other sources offer raw scans and chapter serialization for the series, but most of them are unofficial and may contain irregular translations or harmful bugs. For a seamless and safe reader experience, we suggest sticking to the official sources as much as possible.

What to Expect From One Piece Chapter 1186?

Based on the ending of One Piece Chapter 1185, the upcoming Chapter 1186 will likely move away from the emotional factor and focus more on Shuri’s transformation into Gunko. In the last panel of the previous chapter, we also catch a glimpse of Imu in the background, which might also indicate that Imu is going to appear in the flashback at Esperia Palace from here on.

There is also a slight possibility that the chapter might end Brook’s flashback, and we return to the current timeline in Elbaph, where the Rain Goddess, Zaza, is still wreaking havoc as the Straw Hats try to tackle the ongoing threat, while Loki and Imu are engaged in a battle. Nevertheless, the possibilities are endless, but only one way to know for sure – either spoilers or waiting till the chapter comes out legally.

All Chapters of the One Piece manga can be read legally on the Viz Media and MangaPlus apps and websites. Chapter 1186 is scheduled to be released on Sunday, June 28, 2026.
