After finally managing to catch up to the One Piece manga and having burned through tons of chapters at a time in order to do so... it's going to feel strange to not have any One Piece chapters to read for a while. But Oda more than deserves a ton of time off and to get well.
On the topic of mangakas and their work schedule... according to a chart I once saw, a regular weekly mangaka has an insane enough schedule as it is, between drawing up chapters and speaking with editors, essentially only getting a few hours of sleep a week. But for someone of Oda's stature, that schedule has to be 100x as insane (in fact, I often wonder how some of the big-name ones don't end up dead from overwork sometimes)
