Future Events The Final Saga

#22
Don't expect Loda to be able to tie every plot line he will abandon a lot of them wano was just a small preview of what's to come
Out of every 60 chapter this clown releases maybe 10-12 of them move the story forward rest are utter garbage fillers
 
#23
Imo entire Grand Line Adventure till End of Wano Act 3 was like a Super Mega Version of Romance Dawn Arc,
Kaidou & Big Mom were Main Villains of entire Story till then, (Similar to how Morgan & Alvida were First Arc's Villains)

This means that Rest of East Blue Adventure was like a Mini Version of this Final Saga.
We are gonna see multiple Islands, multiple Flashbacks, so many Newly Introduced Villains ... etc

During that Adventure, We've had an Arc about:

1. Helping an Old Man (Boodle)
2. Helping a Trapped Man who befriended Rare Animals (Gaimon)
3. Helping a Princess Peach in her Mansion who is Targeted by Evil Pirates (Kaya)
4. Helping a Retired Pirate (Zeff)
5. Saving entire East Blue from an Outsider Pirate who is flying under the rader

Sound to me like Arcs where Oda was just testing some Ideas & Concepts to prepare for OP Ending,
We've already had Vegapunk Arc (Old Man in Danger), and We are currently in Loki Arc (Trapped Man), Next is gonna be Imu Arc (Help! My Mansion is Raided by Pirates), it's after these that the Real Ending Starts.

So i consider Egghead, Elbaph & Mary Geoise Arcs (Overall WG Arc) to be just First Half of Final Saga.

So, in your opinion, will Zeff's Final Saga parallel be Shanks (one leg // one arm), or some new character?

Also, Cpt. Kuro with cat claws // Kurohige (BB) with the weird claw weapon that gave Shanks his eye scars

Probably a New Character,
I mean if Oda is gonna bring Zunisha, Emet, Mu & others from Void Century,
Then there should be some Old Man from that period as well,
Someone to play the Role of Zeff, Gan Fall, Kureha, Sukiyaki, Riku ... etc

I feel like Kuro resemble Xebec more, They are Evil Pirates who Dream of a better Life, They wish They could rule from that Mansion up the Mountain owned by a Girl who doesn't leave her Room, They are Presumed Dead, and there is a 2nd Version of their Former Crew waiting for the right time to Invade such Place,

So Kuro might be Xebec, and Blackbeard Pirates are like Jango Pirates (The guy literally named his Ship The Saber of Xebec so...),
Dunno about the Claw but it's possible that Blackbeard also picked it due to his Xebec Fanboyism, after all the Second Fanboy We know of (Loki) also showed some Claw Marks in Fight against Harald, maybe Xebec does Fight in similar fashion (Like a Claw or Asura).

Elbaph is going smooth with a good pacing. After Elbaph,whats next? I think then we have just Marejois and Laugh Tale,choose the order.
The big characters to still develop are: Imu,Akainu,Teach and his crew,Dragon and maybe Xebec.
It will probably take more than 100 chapters,but less than 200
 
#29
I predict 100-200 more chapters left. One short arc like Sabaody and Zou, then the Final War. Even Oda must be tired of carrying Shonen Jump for over 20 years now. There is basically no real competition left at this point to motivate him to draw at his peak

200-250 chapter at least till the end.

Oda needs about 100 chapters just for Shanks, BB, Dragon, VC/Imu (and whoever else) flashback and for SHs dreams / epilogue.

Very good observation.
Final island arc, MarieJois arc (Imu needs help), Shanks vs Blackbeard (Crippled man needs help at laugh tale), The Finale (Final battle, aftermath, the dawn of new world). So about 300 chapters at least.

That might have been the original plan, but i feel like Oda doesn't want to prolong the Ending too much in fear that Fans might predict it's Second Half, so He might instead make these Conflicts happen Simultaneously, basically a Battle Royale (Which He did mention in a Jump Festa Message before) or as Teased by Harley Text & Mural (Three Worlds = Three Arcs = Three Battles),

My current expectations are about 150-200 Chapters left,

Yea, Oda has accelerated the pace and changed some of the writing styles. I will slash it by 50, go with 250 for now, a little optimistic and keeping the expectation low a bit.

Wano ended at 1057 - 149 chaps
Egghead ended at 1125 - 68 chaps
Elbaf currently going - 26 chaps
Which means the arc that most people here said would be a filler arc with alot of stuff still off screened (like bb law and major parts of garp vs hachinosu) was almost half as long as wano, one piece longest arc
Meanwhile im reading "less than 200 chapters"
Either math weaknness or some people believe one piece will be concluded in less than 3 eggheads from now on for real
:Kizgrin:

I was talking about possibility based on historical data and how the current saga is being recorded in official wiki as final saga. I already said I find it hard to believe that Oda will be able to finish it in these amount of chapters without massively missing out on plot points and ruining fan expectations.

Saga can mean different things, i think the thing oda verbatum said in japanese was "the final stretch", not even explictly saga. Beside that if oda doesnt say it just stuff like toei or jump determines this stuff, same with the wiki, on a theme but not really per odas word.
Like for example they are people (i think the wiki too?) group dressosaga saga as ph + dressrosa, which exactly as long as wano
Like again just as an fyi the final arc of something like bleach for example is over 200 chapters long (the wandenreich first appreance till ywach defeat) and thats a manga that has incredible less going on than one piece and incredible more rushed

Yeah they do combine PH arc and DR arc into DR saga in the wiki. You can see the connection though. I personally think that the Final Saga/Stretch is as some members have previously stated like the Yonko saga which started in FMI. We got introduced to BM, setting up the conflict followed by Kaido in PH and this culminated in Wano where both got defeated. So a total of around 450 chapters for the Yonko saga. But the rate at which the story is progressing with Imu joining the battlefield (even through proxy) it means the end is nearer than our previous estimates.
I think there are three arcs left after Elbaf at most. We already got two of the most anticipated things out of the way from early OP times, VegaPunk and Elbaf. Now we have meeting with Shanks and Dragon left. The islands remaining are MG (not exactly the island), LT and Lodestar (if required) from main points. On villains side we have Imu, BB and Akainu (not a big fan of Admirals as main arc villains theory though).
