this announcement has convinced me that One Piece is gonna keep going for quite a long time still
and they are doing very smart business decisions honestly
the live action introduced a lot of new viewers, with that in mind they are investing in two things at the same time:
the WIT studio remake, giving another version with better pacing and newer animation from the start
and the Special Edited Edition of Post-TS arcs for the new fans who have started watching since the Live Action, but are still in that process
The Special Edited edition gives them many weeks break, since it's just shading and new effects, not new animation
it allows them to give Oda space, for his current 30 chapter a year speed and his month long breaks
while still keeping the last arcs high quality
considering this, we could see the anime taking 4 longer breaks still (Punk Hazard, Dressrosa, Zou and Whole Cake)
One now
One at the end of Egghead
One at the end of Elbaf
Two more for the final arcs
One Piece is not ending in the next 8 ~10 years, welp
