Apparently Oda's editor has stated that the countdown to end the series in 5 years has begun.
The way we have been just stormed with information to the endgame during the last arcs (Zou, WCI, Reverie and Wano) I could see this work, also something I thought we would only see in the end of the series was already revealed, WB and Roger bounties...
In 5 years we have roughly 230 chapters, would that be enough to end the series in a good way? Let me hear your thoughts!
No offense, but in what world do we get 230 chapters in 5 years?
Oda has done ~38 chapters per year for quite a while now and this number is steadily decreasing. That means 190 chapters at most in five years.
It's not nearly enough imho. Wano alone has three acts left, incuding the entire story conclusion, all of the fights and a huge chunk of flashback, too. That means at least 80 chapters are reserved for Wano alone.
So you would have around 100 chapters after Wano to finish the entire manga (fourth road ponegliff, Elbaf, finding Laugh Tale, fight against Blackbeard, Void Century reveal, lead up to the final war, the final war against Imu and the WG itself, the final conclusion of the manga).
It just doesn't add up. Seven years is the minimum imho.

End of Wano - next year
Elbaf - 2021-2022
Raftel Arc - 2022-2023
Final War - 2024-2025
One Piece ends in 5 to 6 years.
In no way Wano ends next year. Absolutely impossible.
Oda does ~38 chapters per year, that would mean the entire third, fourth and fifth act of Wano would last for ~38 chapters. That's ridiculous. The flashback is still going on, the raid of Onigashima (which is destined to fail btw), the actual final battles and the whole resolution of the story will take at least around 80 chapters, which means two full years at minimum.
