News MAJOR news on One Piece story future from Oda from Jump Festa 2026
- Thread starter Kizaruber Eats
- Start date
He wouldn’t dare do a pirate manga without a single arc around a naval battle.
I need Smoothie in Elbaph too since she can make herself bigger ofc, man....Road would perv so hard for her too lmao.
Oda placed serious emphasis on “the race for the One Piece” which pretty much guarantees to me that there’s going to be a lot of conflict before the Strawhats actually make it to Laugh Tale and kickstart the Void Century flashback
We’ll get the SHP vs BBP vs RHP vs CG vs a Marine detachment vs Sword vs the Revs potentially
It won’t be a cakewalk. Though I don’t think the fighting will start with the Strawhats. We’ll likely see some of the other factions engage first
Probably RHP vs BBP tbh

No biggie, I'm pretty new compared to most so tag lists probably won't have me lol. It's only been a year I think.
Plus I found this thread easily anyway...thanks for the info, beginning to think Luffy will become PK after Elbaph itself.
Btw do you know how I might get a username change? "Zoinks52" was a throwaway account name, plus I feel guilty everytime I see it because it feels like I'm cheating on Courage the Cowardly Dog.

This translation could also imply lodestar, since it only says "the island only the king of the pirates reached" as opposed to the island where you need to be the PK to reach. Which honestly makes more sense, since having a seperate arc about the man marked by flames with the SHP getting the last RP seems like it makes more sense then the SH just getting it all on Elbaf.

For username changes, ask any admin so Bogard, Pantheos or TAC. You get 1 free change as a free user but VIP users get unlimited changes.
Ahahaha, cheating on Courage?! Why?! I like the name Zoinks, makes me think of Shaggy from Scooby but if you wanna change your name thats understandable ofc!
My prediction so far is that we’ll get further setup before all parties reach Laugh Tale. Remember, while I personally think Oda fumbled the impact, according to the manga, the final war arguably started at Egghead. The "Egghead Incident" was the trigger described in the manga that set events in motion, and we even saw the contenders for the One Piece in that final spread at the end. I imagine we’ll see further escalation in Elbaf. The only group we haven’t seen anything from power-wise in that spread was the Holy Knights, and we’re finally getting an intro to what they can do now. Plus, we are introducing the last relevant nation in terms of power, Elbaf.
I actually predicted the next island would probably be Laugh Tale way even before Oda’s message.
I’ve always imagined (obviously with a lot of headcanon) since I started reading One Piece (and I’m old compared to most mofos here
)that it would go something like this: Laugh Tale is probably partially sunk or protected by natural weather disasters. Most parties will, at the very minimum, clash and fight around it (sort of like the battle in Pirates of the Caribbean 3 in the eye of the storm), even if they don't all set foot on the island itself. Or, if Oda doesn't want to keep the island that exclusive, it’ll be a massive battle royale on Laugh Tale while everyone tries to grab the One Piece. That makes the most sense and seems the most exciting to me and probally to oda assesing him as a writer
Then, after Luffy becomes Pirate King (which was clear even before the "true dream" reveal is not the end of his journey, as the shounen protag always suprass the old gen, just not achives parity ) he will do what the old generation couldn’t. Shonen protagonists always surpass the old gen, they don't just achieve parity. He will enact Joyboy's will (which Roger couldn't do because he was sick and it wasn't the right time) and defeat Imu, someone Joyboy couldn't defeat despite being the first pirate and arguably the freest man ever.
Obviously, this doesn’t have to happen, but I’ve been thinking this way for over 15 years and so far, nothing has happened to contradict it.

Like if all these factions really do converge and meet at the final island I have a very hard time believing any of them would take losses so definitive that they couldn’t attempt to claim the treasure for themselves
Not to mention the Strawhats finding the One Piece feels like a moment that would parallel the “end” of Roger’s journey with the group chilling and laughing. It’s very hard for me to imagine that after a huge fight right outside/on the island itself
I do agree that the idea of Luffy’s journey ending with finding the One Piece never made any sense. Whitebeard said hundreds of chapters ago that the World Government is afraid of what will happen after someone finds the treasure
That’s like the clearest foreshadowing ever
Fair point i see what you mean, you think the laugh tale portion will be just a Sh adventure basiacly and have that vibe, i can see that too.
My problem always with that has been tho, and this got worse imo, is where this fight should take place? Cause one piece is one of the most MC focused manga, every bad guy gets either beat by luffy or luffys crew (or his alliance, in wanos case, for example) in one way or other.
So lets take BBP out because they are maybe saved for the final war, which also takes RHP out by default as they probally gonna fight. Lets argue the same for WG and Marines. And if the WG isnt there the revos probally arent there too. So whats the final obstacle reaching laugh tale that eclipses all what came before, beating CG and low and lidd?
Cause they have all the poneglyps bar 1 and that seembeing telegraphed to not being a giant obstacle like the wano one to acquire.

Its not and physically cant be. Hes just teasing that we are getting closer to it. In fact, he teases that many characters will encounter each other, which implies 1-2 more islands beforehand because Oda has to draw the big battle somewhere
We already know Kid went to Elbaf, so that means Law's island is probably next or its Lodestar already.
2-3 islands at most but its definitely not 1.
