Future Events One Piece Could End in Ch 1225

[Monkey D Monkey]

I think Oda in the New World has been trying to compress entire Sagas into 1 or 2 islands.

East Blue Sage - Shabondy + Fishman Island
Arabast Saga - Punk Hazard + Dressrosa
Skypia Saga - Zou + WCI
EL Saga - Wano
Thriller Bark Saga - Egghead

Following this pattern we have one Saga left to convert, Summit War Saga - Elbaf + Laughtale

Summit War Saga was around 100 Chapters, so assuming the Elbaf Arc starts in the next 2 chapters that would set an endpoint around 1225. A number significant to One Piecr since 25 can be read as “Nika” through Japanese wordplay. 12 could also be read in a number of ways like the “time off”, which could symbolize the transition of the One Piece world from the age of the Sea Circle (IMU) to the age of Nika.

Oda also likes the Zodaic and at the current rate of chapter releases 1225 will end up released around 2028, which is when the year of the goat turns to the year of the Monkey. The goat is often a symbol of the demonic and in One Piece the Marines, making this another symbolic transfer of power from the rule of IMU to the world of Luffy.

While this may not seem plausible at first looking at egghead which is only 50 chapters. Oda managed to speed through many significant battles.

Monthly one piece let gooooo!!!

 

[Salah WG]

Hody was New Arlong
Doflamingo was New Crocodile
Kaidou was New Enel
Holy Knights are New CP-9
Final Villain is New Moria

So with Egghead Arc (After 500 Chapters), Post-TS is 66% Done
Imo We still have around 250 Chapters Left

100 Chapters is Too Short
If every Character who is still Relevant in Story get just One Chapter dedicated to them, We'd still have more than 100 Chapters
250 is right amount imo & 200 if rushed (Give or Take)

 

[comrade]

Imo We still have around 250 Chapters Left

How are those chapters divided? Wano alone had 150 chapters, Egghead had around 60.

How are those chapters divided? Wano alone had 150 chapters, Egghead had around 60.

Pre-TS Adventure (Not counting after They were Separated cuz that represented Bad Ending) lasted for around 490 Chapters.
After Oda was done with Arlong, Crocodile & Enel (Equivalent of Hody, Doffy, Kaidou) & then Long Ring Arc, We were around Chapter 320.
Which is like almost 66% of Pre-TS Adventure

If Oda's Pace stays the same for Post-TS, then Egghead End (which is around 520 Chapters since Post-TS started) represents 66% Mark
Which suggest We still have around 250 Chapters

As for how They are divided, it should be similar to Water 7, Enies Lobby & Thriller Bark Arcs
Imo Elbaf could be 80 Chapters (Half focusing on Locals & half focusing on WG again getting Ws)
And then We have WG War, which should be as long as Onigashima Raid or little bit longer, so around 90 Chapters imo

And then two more Volumes for Post-War & Lodestar (Which is Equivalent of Post-Enies Lobby & meeting Brook Pre-TS)
And then 50 Chapters only focusing on SHs & fulfilling their Dreams & Thriller Bark-Like Save The World Mission
Finally, One Volume for One Piece (Which is Equivalent of Dawn at End of Thriller Bark) & Luffy's Dream & Epilogue

100-150 Chapters is too short, Oda definitely needs more than 200, if not 300

Oda managed to resolve

1. Boa vs Teach vs Coby
2. Lucci vs Luffy
3. Kaku vs Zoro
4. Shanks vs Kidd
5. Blackbeard vs Law
6, Garp vs BBP
7. SH vs Seraphim
8. Luffy vs Kizaru
9. Revos vs Admirals/Gorosei
10. Luffy vs Saturn
11.. Zoro vs Lucci
12. SH vs All Gorosei

In 100 chapters Oda can resolve 24 conflicts. I don’t think there are more than 24 conflicts we need to see.

 

[Monkey D. Luffy]

When will people learn Dressrosa was a mishmash between Alabasta and Skypiea and the Yonkou Arcs were also but that between Enies Lobby and Thriller Bark?

 

[dirtyLarry]

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Not a chance in hell.

Even Egghead - a mere setup arc without any major fights - was 60+ chapters long.

Now we get Elbaf, which is guaranteed to be a 40+ chapter arc at the very minimum (more likely to go into the 60+ range knowing Oda) and after that we still have the entire Laughtale arc and the final war arc (plus void century flashback), which is bigger than anything we've seen so far. Just for a reference - the biggest "war sequence" we've seen so far was the raid on Onigashima which alone took 70 chapters and is much less significant than the final war itself.

At the very minimum it's going to be around 150 chapters (40 Elbaf + 100 Laughtale/final war + a few bridge chapters/epilogue) aka four and a half years with the current pacing.

The more realistic approach would be sth around 200 chapters (80 Elbaf+ 110 Laughtale/final war + a few bridge chapter/epilogue) aka six years left.

One piece ends in two chapters?

Zoro vs Mihawk, is concluded in one page!

 

[OykotsTreasure]

Honestly, I agree.

Chances are, Oda has some specific chapter number in mind to be the final chapter, since he likes to play with number-puns so much. I just don't know enough Japanese in order to really predict that.

The first half of the story, pre-timeship, was around 600 chapters. I think Oda wants the second half of the story to be around the same number of chapters.

So, yeah, I think the story ends somewhere in the low 1200s. Chances are it's at least less than 1250. Sometime around 2027 to 2028.

Oda did originally say he wanted to end it either this or next year, a few years ago. He's off from that prediction, but I don't think he's going to be almost a decade off. I don't think we're going to get to the 1300s.




And for people who are wondering how that could possibly work? Well, what if the Elbaf arc turns out to BE the Final War arc, too? I don't know if that's likely or not. But, it would be a way to have a nice, longer arc on Elbaf, while still keeping the plot moving. Plus, what better place to have your Ragnarok than the Norse inspired island?

I know a lot of people are expecting the Final War to happen AFTER Laugh Tale. But, I think everything we've heard from Oda points to the Final War happening before we find out what the One Piece is. The Final War is probably the war to keep everyone AWAY from the One Piece Treasure. Not a war that's CAUSED by revealing what the One Piece is. But, that's just my speculation.

Because, I think we're already in the middle of a 150-chapter Saga "block". (Maybe 200-chapters at the most.) Egghead was more or less the first "half". Elbaf will be another half-to-fourth. The Final War will either be combined with Elbaf or another fourth or so. And Laugh Tale will probably only be a dozen or so chapters to wrap it all up. I personally expect Laugh Tale to more or less be our epilogue.



And, look, I kind of feel bad even wanting that much from Oda. Because doing a weekly manga is clearly wearing on him. His health isn't getting any better. His artwork does suffer, at times. He NEEDS this to end sooner rather than later. Just for his own health. I don't know if Oda can last another 200 or more chapters.

I think 3 years and around 100 more chapters or so is a good middle ground for what to expect. That should give us enough time to wrap up enough plot threads for a satisfying enough conclusion. Oda probably wishes he could end it next year. And fans want it to continue for another 10 years. 3 years feels like a nice compromise.

...As long as he stops doing stuff like Vegapunk's countdown to even begin his message for 10 chapters. That DOES kind of point to Oda not exactly being in a big hurry. I really don't know why he did that, that felt unnecessary.

But, tiny rant aside, hopefully Oda can even last for 3 years. Because I want Oda to be able to finish his story. And it does feel like we're SO close. I don't want this to turn into a Hunter x Hunter situation, where the author is too broken to make the manga and too stubborn to have someone else finish it. And I don't want this to turn into a Berserk situation, where the author dies before getting a chance to see the story he's worked on all his life to conclude. I want Oda to be able to live to finish his story. And maybe even be able to enjoy life a little bit after that.

I'm willing to take a little bit of a rushed ending, if it means we actually get ANY sort of ending. I don't want his assistants to have to finish this off of Oda's notes.

Hopefully..... Will we close this website after that?

I don’t think Laughtale and Final War will be separate events. The Final War will take place on Laughtale primarily since everyone’s goal is the one piece .

But man I wanna go to Lodestar.

Anyway I wonder if we get a Mariejois arc after Laugh Tale.

 

[Paperchampion23]

How are those chapters divided? Wano alone had 150 chapters, Egghead had around 60.

Assuming Elbaf, Lodestar and Laugh Tale are the only locations left, each of those could be 80+ chapter arcs easily, so yeah I dont think we are ending at any point before 1350/1400 mark in this series.

Example:

- Elbaf, at minimum, should focus on the 4th RP right? Logically the Burned Scar Man should be the crew's next goal. In that case, Elbaf is probably longer than Egghead (60 chapters), at least as long as WCI (80 chapters)..

- If Lodestar is the so called grand war for all 4 RPs (i.e. Targeting Luffy's crew for having all 4), then Akainu, CG Blackbeard, and Shanks are probably going to be involved in said arc. Not to mention the possibility of Imu being involved here with the rest of the WG, along with the Revo's or a thousand other one piece characters. How this arc is anything shorter than 100 chapters if it deals with multiple antagonists frankly wouldnt make sense.


- Laugh Tale being the final fights and revelations against Blackbeard or Imu or anyone else, its still means its also a massive arc in of itself. 80-100 chapters, right?


Like just put these 3 arcs together and what they need to provably resolve still. How anyone thinks One Piece is ending anytime before 1300 is maniacal to me lol

 

[Thaidakar]

Didn't read the post but please Oda just fucking end this shitshow already

 

[Paperchampion23]

But man I wanna go to Lodestar.

Lodestar is the final geographical location for Log Poses. The RPs are needed beyond that point to LT. We are definitely going to Lodestar and I wouldnt be shocked if its where the war for one piece actually takes place, not LT (which will be left to final fights)
