The global fanbase of One Piece is preparing for one of the year's most anticipated manga releases as Eiichiro Oda's long-running series moves into a pivotal chapter. One Piece Chapter 1167, scheduled for global release on Sunday, Nov. 30, 2025 at 10 a.m. ET, is expected to deliver major revelations involving Shanks, the World Government and the giant kingdom of Elbaph.
With the manga maintaining its weekly rhythm and no hiatus delaying publication, readers across North America, Europe and Asia are preparing for simultaneous digital access through platforms including MANGA Plus, Viz Media and Shonen Jump+.
The new chapter arrives at a moment when the series is deepening its historical and political narrative arcs, and early spoilers indicate the story will shift sharply toward long-running mysteries tied to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and the lineage of the giants. The release timing remains consistent for U.S. readers-7 a.m. PT, 9 a.m. CT and 10 a.m. ET-while the Japanese edition will debut on Monday, Dec. 1 at 12 a.m. JST.
Spoilers circulating ahead of publication describe Chapter 1167, titled "The Son of Ida," as a major turning point. Key details suggest that Shanks' past involvement with the World Government will be confirmed, placing him at the center of a covert operation fifteen years earlier that includes assisting Fisher Tiger's escape from Mary Geoise and freeing the three Boa sisters. The spoilers also describe Shanks operating alongside Figarland Garling and Shamrock, raising new questions about his relationship to the God's Knights.
Another storyline unfolds in Elbaph, where emotional conflict erupts following the poisoning of Ida, a maternal figure to Prince Loki. According to the leaked summary, Loki reacts with devastation, declaring, "Ida is my only mother." The moment signals the beginning of the political chaos that will shape the fate of the giant kingdom, a plot thread that fans have awaited for years as Oda develops connections between Elbaph and the wider geopolitical structure of the series.
The distribution of Chapter 1167 will continue through official digital publishers. MANGA Plus, which many international readers describe as a "fantastic resource," will release the chapter simultaneously with the Japanese edition, sustaining real-time global discussions. Shonen Jump+ will deliver the chapter to readers in Japan, while Viz Media will offer complimentary access to the three newest chapters and subscription-based access to the full catalog. The platforms support what has become one of the world's most active digital readership communities, where weekly analysis, panel breakdowns and lore debates drive significant fan engagement.
As the narrative enters a period loaded with historical reveals, the latest chapter underscores why One Piece has become one of the most enduring serialized works in contemporary fiction. The series centers on Monkey D. Luffy's quest to find the treasure known as the "One Piece" and become Pirate King, a journey that has inspired a worldwide following built on character-driven storytelling, political intrigue and the series' signature blend of "humour, action, and poignant storytelling." Its global readership remains deeply invested in the evolving mythos, which continues to expand across new islands, factions and eras of its political history.
