Current Events One piece ending in 4 years confirmed

[ArturCantSpeakJapanese]

Boa Hancock cover (Miito, from Shiga)

D: Odacchi! Is it true that One Piece will end in 5 years? Even if that's the case, a public statement like that is really vexing for the fans!
Many friends of mine who are fans burst into tears with this sudden announcement! I feel like shouting "How could you do this to us!?", but I don't want to stress you out. (P.N.: pari_bentham)

O: By "ending", I mean the juiciest part of Luffy's adventure.
Since that's when the mystery of "what is the One Piece?" is to be revealed.
Right now Wano is heating up, if Luffy is able to leave here in one piece, we'll get to a development that will engulf the entire world, the likes of which no one has read before - the greatest war in One Piece history.
I said what I said so that the reader's hearts would be prepared, since it'll be such a long arc, and one that will really pin things towards the finish line. That being said, I'm really enjoying writing and drawing Wano right now, and am pumped to finishing it!

There are better translations out now. Basically Oda is saying that's when the story of "One Piece" the treasure will end, and we'll find out what it is. The entire final war happens after that

Also I have a conspiracy theory and I'm pretty sure Artur is just pretending to be able to speak Japanese and uses machine translations and early forum stuff like we get here and just rephrases it. All his videos come out 1-2 days after the first fan translation drops not after the raws come out

Whose alt is this?? Pretty good work, but however proficient Artur is OR is not at speaking Japanese, he’s better than most of us here. I see your point and hope you’re right, but I’m afraid of us getting set up for disappointment by assuming that Oda means One Piece *as we know it* ends in five years before some other OP-centric storyline picks up.

This is the first translation we saw yesterday that has been debunked basically

Whitebeard even says the final war will happen after someone finds one piece before he dies. This isn't debunked lol it's just Oda confirming what's already in the story

I don’t like it...but it makes me think that Luffy’s gonna get the credit for defeating Kaido AND Big Mom, catapulting him to the top of the OP world in terms of reputation, and then he’ll just fall ass backwards into finding Laugh Tale before the rest of the series plays out. I don’t know, none of this really adds up well.

And that's what I've been talking about since the beginning of Wano, I've been telling you all, that this is it. This is the arc where strowhats will become a fully fledged Yonko crew with Luffy being Yonko level since there's no one after Kaido and Big Mom left. Luffy can't come out of Wano weaker than Kaido or Big Mom cuz he will face even stronger guys after them, how do you expect Luffy to defeat "overpowered" Blackbeard if he can't even defeat Kaido? The 1v1 against Kaido is coming at the end of the Wano.

I don’t disagree with this in theory, but how the hell is Oda gonna justify catapulting his crew to this same rarefied air? They’re kinda going gangbusters at the moment, so I can squint and see it, but it’s taken way too long for them to get where they are, and suddenly they’ll be world beaters after two offpaneled weeks of training in Wano??

The Enies Lobby effect.

Till this day we don't know how did Zoro or Sanji get their power ups in Enies Lobby, I mean we already found out by yourselves, but yet, Oda hasn't revealed it by himself. The only explanation we got is about Luffy power ups, which were gear 2 and 3, Oda explained how gear 2 appeared. Luffy created gear 2 by just watching cp9 using it, like come on, do we really need an answer how Luffy is going to defeat Kaido, or how Zoro and Sanji going to defeat King and Queen? Oda is literally doing the same in Wano what he did in Enies Lobby. Zoro and Sanji got very easy and unexpected power ups to them, just like in Enies Lobby while Luffy is the only one who got an explanation or reason for his power up. Luffy created gear 2 just by watching cp9, why do you think he can't create gear 5th in Wano, right now? I mean people weren't mad about Strowhats power ups in Enies Lobby, then why would they be mad here? There's at least another year of Wano, so at the end of it I can clearly see Emperor level Luffy.

Just to give an update on the Artur/Ohara discrepancy:

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1305958046208798721

It actually sounds like he flipped his views tbh. They are "agreeing" that you can "interpret" that first sentence a little differently. Friends or not, but Ohara clearly called him out when he told him that a certain word Oda included in the SBS, literally does not make any sense with Artur's translation:

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1305933006306246657

It still comes down to the point that, like the last few years have been "setting" up the conflicts for this war, the next 4-5 years will "escalate" it.

I for sure can believe it starting prior to Luffy reaching Laugh Tale, but Luffy facing off against the WG before finding One Piece goes entirely against Whitebeard's speach.

 

[nik87]

If he cuts down on Elbaf+Raftel, 4 years are more than enough to wrap it all up.

It was always obvious. The rio ponyglph with the true history is on raftel so we have to find out what the huge cover up is and have reason to take them down.

It seems so

This is why I believe both yonko will be vanquished soon enough ♡

I can't wait for the moment... the first two top dogs to be defeated by the SHs

I'd say with Oda's setups in the story, yes it is definitely supposed to be obvious. However, with his constant interviews mentioning "5 years" and "ending" is throwing people in for a loop because now we don't even know what Oda means by "ending". Some (most) translators see it as only Luffy's journey ending, not the whole story (the War still needing to happen), others (basically just Artur), see Oda wrapping literally everything up in 5 years.


Basically his story makes it entirely obvious, his interviews seem to be purposefully confusing to keep people "on edge" about it.

 

[Celestial D. Dragon]

Well you have to ask yourself, why did Oda choose to clarify what he meant in an SBS this go around when he's made claims like "One Piece" will be ending in X amount of years in the past. It seems to me that those statements in the past were also meant to be taken in the vein of "Finding the One Piece" like many other translators have put it.

It's easier to give more of a definitive timeframe on a specific plot concept rather than predicting when the series as a whole will end. That would be about two more solid arcs, then Raftel, then EoS war. EoS war should take no less than 2-3 years to draw, so are we really expected to believe that Oda is going to cram everything else that needs to be explained in those other two years?

 

[Paperchampion23]

The only thing I see spawning from that SBS translation is the fact that War may start before Luffy finds One Piece, however I don't think Luffy will be involved until after he finds it. We have to also remember that even when Wano finishes, Luffy still needs one more RP. He was Lucky in managing to get the first 3 because they were all related to the same plot. The 4th isn't, so Oda needs to setup a plotline to obtain it. Its possible Marco knows since it was on FI and it was Whitebeard's territory, but its also possible he doesn't.

Basically:

- Wano ends
- Que 1/2 more arcs to find the 4th Road Poneglyph/Elbaf/Vegapunk/whatever. During this time the Final War starts with warring countries/Blackbeard/WG/Revo's/etc.
- After the 4th one is found, then they head to Laugh Tale. Final War escalates in whatever way it needs to (Ancient weapons, WG national treasure, whatever).
- Laugh Tale deals with whatever plotline, Luffy becomes PK, finds One Piece, etc.
- THEN Luffy participates in the final war after finding One Piece


To effectively find the treasure after beating the WG or the final antagonist, entirely defeats the purpose of Whitebeards speech. Something ABOUT One Piece will be used to defeat the WG. They must know this in order to do something and change the world.

If Oda says "knowing exactly what One Piece is" will happen in 5 years, then logically speaking, that would mean the main portions of the final war is after.

Ugh, honestly can't wait until Act 3 ends or Wano finishes so we truly know where Oda will send Luffy next, and we still have at least another year of this arc. If its about spending time finding the last RP, then chances are the main portion of the Final War isn't happening until after Laugh Tale.

Won't Luffy be the MC in this story then?

Post automatically merged: Sep 15, 2020

Will Luffy stop being the MC then?

It’s that at a certain point, Luffy will effectively cease to be the main character of a treasure-hunting journey and will become the main character of the story of a pirate dealing with a grand-scale war, as in the war Whitebeard alluded to that he was sure would happen after someone finds that treasure.

This, I feel like people don't understand basic story structure. Pure motivation in taking down an antagonist is knowing what they have done to warrant being an antagonist. Literally finding out the Void Century/True History AFTER defeating the WG makes zero sense in a plot structure.

By default you can pretty much tell Oda means Luffy's journey. His journey that took him to One Piece. Now after finding One Piece, it'll be his journey to taking out the WG, which could take any number if years after this.

@ImmaIvanoM
Uh...what the hell are you talking about? Oda is basically confirming the opposite. One Piece is not ending in 5 years.
