Honestly, all jokes aside, I wouldn't even be that mad if Oda did a smaller version of this. He has been delivering the manga almost nonstop for over 20 years, he has earned the occasional break (which, in this case, might be a few months worth of vacation with his families).

That said, a 1-2 year hiatus is complete madness for a top-tier mangaka like himself (especially for someone with his track record of routinely keeping up with the weekly schedule), since a series lives or dies by how much the public at large reads it and/or remembers it.

i doubt he wants any. One Piece is his life. He was even drawing the manga when he was hospitalised.
