Anime creator Eiichiro Oda revealed that "One Piece" will be having a long hiatus and the air date of Chapter 844 will be delayed. Aside from that, the official plot summary of the upcoming episode has been revealed. Meanwhile, Chapter 843 is made available here for fans who have missed to watch it.

Series creator Eiichiro Oda hinted that the anime manga series might have a long hiatus anytime soon. According to iTech Post, Oda came up with such decision as he plans to do other projects.

There are also hints that Chapter 844 "Adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates" will go on, however, the release date will highly likely be delayed.

As for the official plot synopsis of chapter 844, One Piece Wikia notes, "Sanji continues to stay solid on rejecting Luffy and Nami, and he attacks the persistent Luffy, who does not fight back. Eventually, Sanji beats Luffy and goes back to his own family. But Luffy knows that this is all an act and tells Sanji that he will wait for him at this spot until he comes back, not willing to continue on his journey without his cook."

For a quick summary of the previous Chapter 843, Parent Herald reported that Sanji was torn with his current situation whether he will obey his father or just ran away from him. This is because he don't want to get married and don't want to lose his friends as well.

Also, he cannot tell Luffy what is really happening with him since his father threatened him that he will attack his friends if he refused to marry Lady Pudding.

"One Piece" Chapter 844 is titled as "Luffy vs. Sanji". As of now, the official return date of the anime series is yet to be confirmed.

Despite the unconfirmed date of "One Piece", the series remains to have a solid fanbase and it will continue to release new chapters.

"One Piece" is a Japanese anime adaptation written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda.
