"One Piece" series creator, Eiichiro Oda, is rumored to be going on a hiatus. Oda is said to have a long list of commitments scheduled for next year, and he will not be able to create materials for his series.

For over a decade, fans have been enjoying Oda's manga creation, so the rumor of him taking a hiatus is a big surprise. The creator is known to put his best effort always in order to give the best to his fans, as well as giving something unique to the fans on every publication date, on a weekly basis. If the rumors prove to be true, the series will have its final chapter before the hiatus in December, Movie News Guide reported.

However, there is no official word coming from Oda or from his representative, so the issue remains unclear if there will still be "One Piece" chapters to read by next year or none at all. Fans can just wish for the best, that he will still continue to provide the entertainment to the series fans around the world.

Meanwhile, the upcoming chapter 844 will continue to dwell on the Sanji and Luffy's feud. It is also speculated that an even bigger battle may happen between the two characters. Big Mom, on the other hand, is then rumored to avenge Cracker's defeat and give the order to her followers to hunt down Luffy.

Parent Herald reports Nami will take on Reiju, while Sanji and Luffy fights. Reiju is said to mention to Nami that Zeff's life is in danger if they do not back down. Sanji is acting weird to protect his master. Sanji is said to be aware of the dilemma that Zeff is into, which is the reason why he has acted weird in front Luffy. Zeff's life will also be spared if the wedding of Sanji and Lady Pudding will push through.

Nami will then ask Luffy to stop the fight with Sanji and just leave Big Mom's island. The big decision now falls on Luffy, if he will believe Nami or continue his fight with Sanji.

The next chapter for "One Piece" is expected to be released anytime soon.
