A note was also shared by Eiichiro Oda, informing the fans about the delay and the reason behind it. The note started with an apology from Oda for taking a long break, after which he stated that they were all having great fun with the final saga of One Piece, but he wanted to take out the time to get eye surgery. Oda revealed that it has been quite a while now that he has been suffering from astigmatism, blurring his vision, which is causing a hindrance in his work.
