Bruh, regardless, even if he's doubling down and focusing, can't you see that its still taking him LONGER to get certain points of the story? Lol. Between Jaya-Post-Enies Lobby is <200 chapters. From Punk Hazard to current Wano is over 300. Include FI then its nearly 400. When Wano finishes it will be over 400 chapters. I'm confused what hard to get about this.

It doesn't matter if he's "diverging" or not. Its still shows when nearly all of your new world arcs are larger than Skypiea or Water 7
Do you try to understand my posts before quoting them? Because it is clear that you never understood my first post regarding this and quoted without much thinking.

My first post (https://worstgen.alwaysdata.net/forum/threads/one-piece-spoilers-the-waiting-room.5/post-591467) regarding this wasn't about the length. It was about the predictive power of Oda.

What I tried to say in that post is that Oda in the early days took a lot of detours. Basically, he left the story at large to draw Straw Hats having adventure and growing. So, since he wasn't focused on the main story, he wasn't tightly regulating his story and was trying to put as much of the concepts he drew as a kid into the manga. He was writing self-contained arcs and as such, his predictive power was poor regarding the main story.

However, now, every arc is a part of the main story. There is no self-contained arc. Every arc bleeds into the next arc and consequently he has to tightly regulate his story. So, his predictive power regarding the story is better now.

This is the point I am trying to make. You can argue against it. But length had nothing to do with my post. My post was about predictive power of Oda regarding the story.

Stop using the word "coherent". Coherency means if something makes sense or not (as in a sentence being spoken in proper english). You mean to say we should be taking the comment "seriously". I don't. That's really it.
The Fu*k? This is what you said:

Oda was reportedly smirking (according to Greg) and often known for making tongue-in-cheek comments like this to drive people crazy:
You here said that Oda's word here shouldn't be considered because it was likely not a serious statement. What I said is that if this statement didn't match the other statement "I hope to finish it in 5 years" then, I wouldn't take it seriously. But it does match the other statement, so there is no reason for me to not take it seriously.

....and my whole point is that he is physically spending more time and arcs and villains now than he has ever done. My question to you is, even if arcs now bear significance to the overall story, you think he's going to address Blackbeard, Im, Akainu, Shanks, Dragon, and a hundred other characters, locations, and plot threads in less than 150 chapters? Which mind you, that's the amount of chapters we get every 4 years, 152 chapters on average from 38 chapters per year.
I never said that he will finish it in 150 chapters. I already said that I don't believe he will finish it in 5 years repeatedly in multiple threads. But I also don't believe that he will take 400 chapters to finish it either.

Okay, we'll see in 38-40 chapters if that is true, even though Act 3 hasn't finished and Act 4 will probably be as long as Act 3, not including Act 5.
Act 3 ends with a tragedy and Act 4 is the fight Act. Act 5 is a very small act to conclude the story. We are already into the fight. So, Act 3 will end with somebody dying (soon). Then we have Act 4 where the fight will occur (which will not take up 50 chapters, should take up 30-35 chapters though). Finally Act 5 may be a 3-4 chapter affair to close the arc. That's 40-50 chapters max.

Why would it need another 80 chapters? Or are you one of those "the raid is gonna fail and the alliance is going to regroup in 2 weeks" people? Because, News Flash: If raid fails, then Wano is finished in the morning by Kaido's words. Even if the Raid is not successful in killing Kaido, everything will be over the next morning one way or another. There is more interlude.

Aka, my point on this matter. If you expect the series to end in 5 years (not saying you do), you expect it to end in 180 chapters, including the chapters required to finish Wano, after Wano had 300+ chapters of story setup.
Again, I don't expect the series to end in 5 years. But I also don't expect it to end after 10 more years.
  1. Oda says he hopes to finish it in 5 years
  2. Oda says that there will be few more Ethan 100 volumes of OP
  3. Editor Naito, first disagrees and then agrees that Oda can finish it in 5 years
  4. Jump#35 also says that OP is moving to its final stretch.
I have been following the series till 2006 and I have never seen so many statements about OP ending from official sources. If there was 1-2 statements about it, I would've brushed it off. But, they are serious.

Can Oda finish it in 5 years? No. But can he finish it in 250 chapters? Hell yes. I now have more faith in Oda's predictive power than before.

Reading in the One Piece Wiki,i discovered these two One Piece's videogames that were released in japan when i was a baby. Oda and his affiliates really need spread these contents for outside world. The history is certainly so great as in the comics and movies.

First and the most important thing.

What the fuck you need to do to get banned in the waiting room?

Even I don't have that power.
I could do it in a matter of seconds.

It's simple. You gotta post Nami in a compromising position. That usually does the trick.
One of the many ways.

So....what happened to Kaido here? Did
1, he closed his eyes
2, he had those manga style angry white eyes
3, he rolled his eyes
4, Oda forgot to draw his eyes
Well this is def, not the volume book version so there's bound to be some mistakes and what not. Kaidou looks stoned here.
