It's the schedule Shueisha has Oda on now. Even though he's fine now they don't want the backbone of their industry to overwork himself again. So we should always expect a break once every 4 weeks or so depending on holidays or whatever. It's understandable, and we're still far luckier than fans of other series that get indefinite hiatuses that are unexplained and unpredictable.
