Future Events How many chapters before the end of OP ?

[mmd]

Again but....what does that have to do with Egghead, Elbaf and the Burned Man lol? Garp and Dragon have nothing to do with Laugh Tale. Thats a Yonko plotline.

These are some parallel stories...Together with Dragon, we will learn the secret and goals of imu, and together with Garp, Rocks's flashback will be revealed...Oda can spend a chapter or ten chapters on the burnt man...Does Oda even have an important plan for this person or is it just a fun improvisation?
I have no idea
War with other Yonko is not going to have a 100-chapter introduction with a samurai substory like wano....And this is the best way that Oda can make the best use of the limited time

 

[Phoenix D. King]

No its not lol. The issue is you arent thinking from a geographical perspective.

- Is Egghead almost over? We have no idea because we havent even gotten to the core part of the arc with a villain. If it lasts another 40 chapters, there you go another year.

- We cant even be sure Elbaf is next. I think it is, but we cant actually confirm this.

- Is Elbaf short? Is it long? Regardless itll be at least a year right? 40 chapters? Or will it be WCI length? 80 chapters? Dressrosa length? 100 chapters? Wano length....150? Like there is no answer. Does Elbaf even have its own villain?

- If we go to Kid's route with Elbafs, then Law's objectively should also exist because then the scene about Luffy taking the most indirect route then doesnt make sense.

- Is the 4th RP/Burned Man plotline even tied to any of the above? My guess is the island past Elbaf at least, but can we be sure? What will it consist of? Will it be a war between the 4 Yonko? That plus the Marines? On top of the WG? Or does it get split up into multiple conflicts over time?

- Lodestar/Laugh Tale are also things.

- It doesnt matter when the Revo's fight the WG, they are hardly the focal point of that war. Imu has a thing against non-Revolutionaries, so its clear the endgame has ties to them too. When does Noah get used to rescue the Fishmen? Does this entire thing happen after Laugh Tale?

- Then we dont even know the scale of these conflicts or how long they last

Do you see why 150-200 chapters even seems to not make sense on its own? People keep throwing the "but Marineford was 30 chapters" nonsense when it did not resolve shit except 2 deaths lol. This is not how Oda draws climactic battles, he'll have nothing to hide by that point.

Egghead may end within the next 3 chapters dude
Elbaf can be similiar length easily

thats like 35 in total so far?

Lodestar/Laughtale can be 50-70 realistically

thats 90~

Final war will not need to be over 90 either

so around 180 which is the MAX i can see

@Paperchampion23 you simply dont want it to end
nothing more


its gonna suck foryou when you have hopes of 8-10 more years, and it ends in 4 instead

 

[Paperchampion23]

And yet, it wont. Ive had people like you tell me the arc was ending 20 chapters ago. We have yet to get to the built up conflict in Egghead lol.

But sure, continue to believe itll be randomly offscreened.

Quantify as much as you want to justify your opinion. Point is, its always longer than you want it to be

You sure this is about me? You seem to be convinced and desperately want it to end quicker than it ever has instead of just being realistic about how Oda has treated this series for years.

I want it to actually end lol, me giving a realistic opinion about how Oda tends to address arc lengh has nothing to do with it.

Realize Zou, at 25 chapters, is the only short arc weve had post-timeskip. It has barely set a precedent because all it did was setup an 80 and 150 chapter arc respectively.

I feel bad for you saps who keep taking Oda's words seriously, wishing and hoping things change instead of just following known patterns for years. Oda "rushed" Wano at 150 chapters. Think about that sentence for a second lol

@mmd im talking about the fact that Egghead and Elbaf seemingly have nothing to do with the 4th RP, just like Garp and Dragon. Some things are tied together, other things arent. The issue is we can or should not assume anything beforehand.

Just go by history, it took Oda nearly 10 years to tackle 2 Yonko. Now we have 2 more, Marines and the WG. Its not about centralized arcs, its about the fact that everyone is barely characterized and Egghead/Elbaf seem to have nothing to do with those 4 groups, save for the bits of characterization Kizaru and Saturn may give this arc. We cant even be sure Elbaf resolves any of the above 4 groups at this point.

I just question why people "think" itll be short when Oda has never once demonstrated things like this being short lol.

 

[WorstMan]

Hopefully less than 200. One piece is way past its prime and zip don't have faith in Oda to deliver. If they just stop with these terrible movies maybe they can squeeze out a half decent ending and stop wasting everybody's time.

Am I the only one that thinks One Piece has never been better?

 

[Paperchampion23]

Am I the only one that thinks One Piece has never been better?

We are at the parts that Oda has been building to for 2 decades, it is the best its been imo.

 

[IsaziSempi]

Am I the only one that thinks One Piece has never been better?

One punch from garp. A off paneled fight of him and Aokiji. Kid being one shot after over a decade of doing basically nothing. Blackbeard off paneling Law. Imu being some skinny no faced ancient simp the goursei turning into black blobs. SADBOY getting one shot and cobra being a D. Maybe all that followed by a month break is considered good compared to the last decade but that's not saying much. Imo. Also Shanks might be a celestial dragon or Royalalty. It's been mire if an information dumb than anything but after 26 years information may pass for actual good content.

I mean I care about what happens with Kuma and what happens on egghead island. If that gets off paneled than I feel like Oda wasted 4 months of my life.

Egghead is the best arc by far.

Why do you think egghead arc is supposed to be long?
In a flashback, Oda revealed the Five Elders and their names and purpose...I don't see a 200-chapter side story like Dressrosa and wano...We entered the war directly, Oda shows that people like Lucci, who used to take 100 chapters to defeat him, now only takes 2 chapters....When the enemies arrive, we will see Luffy fighting them directly without boring 50 chapters for the new power-up....We have been reading Yonko stories for 10 years because Luffy didn't have the ability to defeat them. Now that Luffy has reached his highest level, the story will be shortened.
And in egghead, it seems that there will be a war between more than 2 crew.
About elbaf I used to want to make a thread that might be the best One Piece arc...But I changed my mind, Shanks is just having fun there with old friends and continues on his way..At best, Joy Boy is from here and we know something about him, and even if someone like bb gets there, it's not going to last more than 50 chapters.
And as I said, the story will not continue for more than 200 chapters, which is almost 6 years

Did you read my post lol?

Oda's arc climaxes, going by history, last longer than the setup, nearly every time. Once the major battles start, it can take longer than the setup to finish, and we arent there yet. Also, I like that "50 chapters" is now the new measure for being short, when people told me Egghead would be under chapters and here we are almost at 30 with barely anything resolved there.

You telling me its "only" going to last x length isnt telling me anything lol, its a random guess that has no bearing on anything Im saying to you. Follow patterns, and stop expecting things to change. If they do, cool, but we have nothing to go on to prove this lmao.

We havent had a short arc since Zou and all that did was give us two long ass arcs anyway

Edit: Lucci's not a a relevant villain, so trying to use him as an example that things are going quick when Oda constantly reintroduces defeated characters is hilarious. It changes nothing about Kizaru and his fleet.

 

[Welkin]

150 give or take some chapters

 

[Bisoromi Bear]

Mihawk vs Zoro = 4 panels
Imu vs Luffy = 1 whole chapter.
The other SHs fail to achieve their dreams.
Who tf cares about Void Century or GV incident.

Epic.

This is what will happen.

So do you expect egghead and elbaf to take 100 chapters each???
I say now, like wano, we are not going to wait 50 chapters for Luffy to learn new haki and wait 20 chapters for him to awaken his fruit...When Kizaru starts fighting, Luffy will fight in the most serious mode and we won't have a wasted chapter
However, our opinions will remain different until the end of egghead arc...If you are right, I will accept my L

No...thats not my point. I am saying we can't assume anything until the arc climax actually begins.

Currently Egghead, with outside events, is 27 chapters long. If Kizaru and his fleet actually arrive by chapter 30 and we immediately get to fights, then I expect the arc to last longer than 50 chapters because by "history", arc climaxes always last just as long or longer than the setup.

The problem with the above mindset however is assuming that the "moment" Kizaru arrives we get into the climax. This is still incorrect. We have no backstory on Kizaru, Sentoumaru and Vegapunk, no revelations on Kuma, no revelations on Saturn, etc. So we can't even say the climax is remotely starting. This is why I even call it 50 chapters is a naive thinking, because we aren't even there yet. Expecting Luffy to be "serious" has nothing to do with it. He has 15 other characters to draw the rest of the arc. We normally get like 15-20 chapters of skirmishing and people moving around to advance the island plot first before fighting even starts. This is exactly what happened in Dressrosa and Wano for example. In WCI, Luffy fought Katakuri for nearly 20 chapters because Oda had to focus on BM and the Crew running away from her.

Go ahead and have your opinion, but I've heard the same song and dance about people being "hopeful" about arc pacing lol. We haven't even remotely "gotten there" yet.

No, I do not want or expect Egghead to last 100 chapters. I expect it to maybe get in the 60-80 range because Oda's notorious pacing on the back half of a conflict. Elbaf will be a major, major arc for certain characters, so yes, I expect it to last upwards of a 100 chapters depending on the conflict. It is the most teased island behind Laugh Tale. Before this it was Wano.

 

[kumae]

Shouldn't it ending up in chapter 1200 since the first part of the manga ended in ch600?but who knows but it seems frauda is revealing all or half of the mysteries this year onlya that lefts is prince loki nordic mythology kurohige the guy with the scar(imo saul) lodestar imu real identity void century and something else

 

[gz89]

Curious if there are still people who think it will end in less than 250ch

 

[Paperchampion23]

Now we are at 50 chapters at Egghead and theres clearly room for 10+ chapters on the docket at least here.

Elbaf for sure will last longer, especially if tackles any of the "final 4" left, being Akainu, Blackbeard, Shanks or Imu.

Im still guessing:

- 1130 for Egghead
- 1250 for Elbaf (possibly the fight againt Akainu)
- 1400 for Lodestar/LT (Being the war against Yonko)
- 1500 for Climax (Imu)

Combine the last 2 if you consider Blackbeard, Shanks and Imu are all tied to the endgame and at LT. 390 more chapters sounds like an awful lot....but look at the lengths Oda spends on ONE Gorosei and ONE Admiral at this point in the story. There is an entire Marine force, 2 Yonko, and a much larger organization than any of them still left.

 

[LANJI CUCKSMOKE]

300+ with this pace
so serious
so many things to cover


Imu Wg marines
blackbeard

thats at least 250 chaps

I was on 250+- group but at this point OP could easily hit at least 350 more chapters till its end if Oda decides to spend a couple of chapters to each remaining big shot + fb/fights etc etc.

@Sir Yasheen 2y have already pass and we are still at Elbaf and look what's remaining.

We know that every few years Oda says that he plans to finish the story in the next 3-5y but its always a lie.

Is it possible to wrap up the story with all these characters/groups, past incidents & upcoming arcs with anything less than 200-250 chapters without a fucked up ending ?

We have the main groups

- RHP, CG, BBP, Gorosei, Holy Knights, Seraphim, SHP, Marines, RA, Imu.

Side groups

- Law & Ope DF's immortality, SHGF, man with burn marks, maybe Kidd Pirates and who knows what else.

Pretty much confirmed fb that we'll see.

- God Valley fb
- Void Century fb

Future confirmed events

- FMI destruction
- WG's downfall
- Luffy becoming PK and whatever his other dream is.
- Every SH's dream
- The final fight

Tbh i dont believe even 200-250 chapters are enough to cover all these things. Whats your guess ?

Aint no way the series end in 150 chapters from now.
