Main point being that what Oda says for timing is different than what actually happens. Oda always says something about OP ending soon and then extends it. The fact that he follows a Kabuki play structure tells you how clear the structure of the arc should be when it's always known to be 5 acts. The fact that he hasn't ended Act 3 when it could perfectly have ended at multiple points of Luffy's losses should tell you it's not over yet.
You think there's gonna be 5 ACTS?
This is next lvl COPIUM
