I think the reason he's on hiatus is because he wants the anime to catch up, that would explain why he made such a nice finale-themed chapter 339. Maybe he wants the anime to end there, he doesn't want the anime to be prolonged to like 200 or 300 episodes.

And once near the anime ends, he might resume the manga, and we might see either a sequel series or OVAs for the Dark Continent expedition and upcoming arcs.
