Let's say 40 chapters for act 4 that'll put it around year 2022 November, then act 5?
So Wano will end late 2023?
2018-2023
That's 6 years
And Oda said the story will end around 2025
So Wano alone is 6 years and the final arc + wrap up will take 2 years?
Loda is a menace to society
Nah a little less, let's say:
- 6 chapters left for Act 3 (if that theory its even remotely true): Early July 2021
- Act 4: 30-40 chapters: ~April-July 2022
- Act 5: 10-15 chapters: October-November 2022
Maybe a little more than 4 years, but yeah that's me honestly low balling it, cause anytime I do this Oda entirely surpasses my guesses on how long I think and arc has left lol. Like I guessed DR was going to be 60 chapters back in the day, ended up being 100. WCI around 40, ended up being 80. I've always guessed Wano to be about 140, but we are at 105 with zero signs of nearing the end lol.
And yeah, don't take the 5 years left thing at all seriously. There are 5x the amount of characters after Wano and most of them are far more important than Kaido/BM. We still have a journey to laugh tale to finish. Then consider the final war/arc probably being the longest thing this series does (i.e. 4-5 year commitment probably on its own)
It's the curse of being a series this massive. Ask fans of ASOIAF or other long running serializations how they feel about long form storytelling trying to end. Honestly I give One Piece another 10 years AFTER Wano finishes. I wish I was kidding.
