Coming up wit ha satisfying ending, for a such long running series, must be stressful
Nah, it is stressful when you put fingers in everything. He can simply focus on manga while leaving other stuff to other staff. Or hire assistants who can help him in manga.

Regular 3 week breaks are fine but external stress like LA, movies are more damaging than manga. These are the reasons for unwarranted breaks.
 
The year is 2035, the final episode of the live action One Piece series is released, the manga just finished Elbaf.
Nami was revealed to be Imu and Luffy kills her in the final chapter, Buggy becomes King of the Pirates.
All the fans hate this ending and Oda is no longer motivated to end the manga.
