Future Events One Piece will not end before the 1400 chapters. Change my mind.
- Thread starter Ricassian
- Start date
I honestly can't see Vegapunk having a 70 chapter arc. I think his story will be interwoven with regular arcs.
The only way it goes over 1400 is if the epilogue is ever bigger than I expect. And I expect OP to have a really long epilogue.
But I agree with Oda's tendency to stretch certain plot lines. He's been moving at a pretty fast pace like u said given how many plot lines are being juggled, but we'll see. I still think 400 more chapters is a stretch.
Inb4 Oda introduces Enel in chapter 1000 and foreshadows a moon arc that'll take my prediction to beyond 1500

- Bonney and Kuma being set up for "something". Oda waited 300 chapters after the timeskip to touch on this. He could have started earlier if wanted to interweave it.
- Vegapunk constantly name dropped and never actually revealed as of yet.
- SSG an entirely brand new concept as of the Reverie, which was a direct result of the Shichibukai abolition
- Caesar, Judge and now Queen all set up to have some sort of connection to Vegapunk. The former 2 are missing right now. The Numbers have connections to Punk Hazard.
- Smoker and Tashigi went with Fujitora to Vegapunk's facility, yet only Fujitora was seen during the Reverie, implying Oda is holding onto Smoker/Tashigi for some other reason, likely involving Vegapunk. Hell, they are the only 2 important Marines not seen during the reverie.
- Sabo's goal changing from starting a war with the Tenryuubito to saving Kuma, now we are at a cliffhanger.
I'm just specifying, to me this looks like an arc setup, not layering a long form plotline throughout arcs.

I see. That's an interesting take. For me, I honestly thought that all of this will be dealt with within a 250 chapter final arc or something close to that. Basically every chess piece will collide at the end. All those character would be present for the final war and Oda would go out of setup mode to resolution mode and knock out one plot line after another each chapter.
But hey, if we get a Vegapunk arc I ain't complaining. But that would really change how I see the rest of the journey.
I always thought Wano > Elbaph > Lodestar/Laugh Tale > Marejois final war > Epilogue ~350ish more chapters

Not sure why you or anyone else says this. I'm getting deja vu from the constant arguments that WCI would be "super short" or Wano being "marineford 2.0, less than 100 chapters with mostly action and very little plot".
I specifically remember people saying Kaido would fall by chapter 1000 or even before. I even remember ridiculous claims that Luffy could even be pirate king by then.
My post is Oda waited till the Reverie to start dropping big things related to Vegapunk, Kuma, Bonney and Sabo. These are not small plotlines by any means.

And you might be right, for sure. I just think stuff like Kuma being rescued or giving Bonney/Urogue or the Revolutionaries arc focus before throwing all of these concepts in the final war was how it was going to go.
Its like how Oda spent 80 chapters at WCI to:
- Get a road Poneglyph
- Characterize Big Mom
- Make Luffy stronger
But he could have totally written it in such a way that had us avoid WCI entirely (such has had Kid or someone stole a rubbing of the Poneglyph), and introduced Big Mom and her crew at Wano. But imagine how much bigger Wano would have been if that happened?
That's sort of my point with Vegapunk, the Revo's, SSG, Kuma, etc etc etc because if you don't do it before the final war, you make the final war that much longer by having to spend lots of time characterizing and finishing plotlines outside of the actual war.
For example, the Revo's goal is to take down the Tenryuubito right? But right now its Sabo's prerogative to save Kuma (and even Sabo might be in some predicament right now), a missing commander of their army. We have no idea why Kuma left the RA, what his relationship to Bonney was, or what his overall relationship to the plot is when it comes to the RA's defeating the Tenryuubito/CP-0. Now all of a sudden you blow up the final war plotline more because you didn't address this stuff before it, and you can just have the RAs perform their original goal.
Kind of what I'm talking about here. You can do the same obviously for a lot of other things too
