We’re all here on WG because, to varying degrees and for better or for worse, we love One Piece. This massive epic has enthralled some of us for years, some for decades; we’ve spent countless hours arguing and (less frequently) agreeing with each other about power levels, plot points, and pirate supremacy; we have the manga, the anime, the databooks, the movies, and a plethora of other sources that fuel our speculation and keep us plugged all the way into one of the greatest stories ever told.
So what happens once One Piece ends?
I know what it means for us - plenty of users on this site are gonna become shells of themselves (or just me) - but I’m curious what you think this means for the man who’s spun this tale for us. Does Oda retire, knowing he created a manga that transcends so many cultural borders? Does he expand the universe with mangaka-sanctioned spinoffs and more supplemental information? Does he start a new series to exorcise whatever metaphysical demons may remain in his soul? What do you see him doing in the post-OP reality we’ll find ourselves in all too soon?
