Fans were delighted to see Oda delivering three chapters without a break recently. However, lately, the author has been taking breaks after two chapters, and the tradition continues after chapter 1153. The author is opting for a short break again, so One Piece chapter 1154 will not be released this weekend on manga reading platforms .
So, the new release date and time for One Piece chapter 1154 is July 13, 2025, at 8:00 AM PDT (or 11:00 AM EDT), according to the Manga Plus and Viz’s Shonen Jump release schedule.
So, we have to wait for two more weeks to discover more details about Loki ‘s childhood in the One Piece manga. In the meantime, you can check out our predictions for the upcoming chapter below.

“I think about ten men should do,” Luffy said when he set out to form a pirate crew and become the next Pirate King. Over time, Luffy gathered nine crewmates in his boisterous adventures, the latest recruit being Jinbe in the Wano Country arc. So, with only one spot left to fill, the fandom continues to clash and theorize over who will be the destined tenth member of the next Straw Hat Pirates. Vivi is one of the strong contenders, and Yamato also left a lasting impression on Luffy.
But, I believe it’s time we forget both of them (not literally) as contenders for joining the Straw Hats crew. Well, a new character from Elbaf has emerged as a top contender. Luffy himself has asked him to join the Straw Hat Pirates crew in the One Piece manga.
Will Loki Become a Straw Hat Pirate in One Piece?

One Piece fans had heard about Loki and were curious to learn all about him as we approached the Elbaf island. However, things took quite a wild turn with Loki’s character. We didn’t expect him to be the shame of Elbaf.
Since the start of the Elbaf arc, Luffy is the only character who believed there is more to Loki than all the terrible things people say about him. The Straw Hats’ captain never misses the mark when it comes to reading someone’s personality. So, Luffy and Loki have developed a bond since their fated meeting.
With the arrival of Imu on Elbaf through Gunko, one of the God’s Knight members, nightmares and converted demon soldiers are running amok in the Homeland of the Giants. Luffy, along with Zoro and Sanji, has learned about the havoc in the Sun World.
In the latest One Piece chapter 1152, Loki wants to be freed to fight against the God’s Knights, but the rest of the giants aren’t convinced about setting him free. They have every right to be worried about freeing the king slayer.
That is when Luffy steps up and asks Loki to join his crew . Luffy has always been a great judge of character, as I mentioned earlier. When he wants someone on his crew, he never fails to ask them right away, as seen with all the crew members who have joined until now. Even his wings, Zoro and Sanji, are on board with this idea, but they are more worried about how Loki will fit inside their ship and how they will feed a giant.
Of course, Loki refuses as he wouldn’t want to be Luffy’s underling. But this is Luffy we are talking about, a man who refuses everyone’s refusal. At the moment, Loki is sharing his side of the story about the fateful day when his father, King Harald, was slain. We are sure he will redeem himself after this, and his redemption arc is coming next in the Elbaf arc.
Loki has all the qualities to become a Straw Hat crew member. He has already got the blessings of the captain, and he has emerged to the top as a serious candidate who can become the 10th Straw Hat member. Only a handful of people, such as Gaimon, Kinemon, and others, haven’t joined the crew after Luffy asked them to, but Loki is clearly a different guy.
