Questions & Mysteries When will One Piece end? Questions still unsolved

#1
I apologize in advance if I made grammar and/or spelling mistakes, English is not my first language. :brootea:

The lore of One Piece knows no bounds, but at some point even this amazing adventure has to reach its conclusion. In 2020 Eiichiro Oda revealed that the series would end in ~5 years, so according to him, we'll see the ending in 2025. Is it true though?
I don't see the Wano arc (which already has more than 100 chapters) ending this year, plus we get ~35 chapters a year, so seeing the ending in 4 years from now seems very unlikely to me, and we'll see the ending not before 2030.

Some questions still unsolved:

We still have to actually see very important characters like Ryokugyu, Im and Vegapunk.

How powerful Dragon, Kong (likely we won't see him in action, but still would be nice a little bit of background), the Gorosei, CP-0, the Red Hair Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates are.

The will of the D, Joyboy the Void Century, why the Tenryuubito have so much political power even if they are as weak as a common human.

The One Piece, what are Pluton (it's a ship, alright, but what makes it so dreaded?) and Uranus.

All-Blue, Shyarly's prediction, Noah.

The story of the Rocks pirates, also whatever happened to Shiki.

What Teach said he's after (chapter 957 I think).

The Shichibukai and the government's new weapon.

What's up with Weevil (if I'm not wrong, Oda's editor claimed he's going to have an important role in the story).

The Devil Fruits, what they actually are and how they work.

Levely, what happened to Cobra, Vivi and Sabo.

Lodestar, will our heroes ever go there?

I know, I made a melting pot, or how we say in my country, a "minestrone", but as you can see there is so much information yet to be revealed and I probably forgot some stuff, I see it unlikely that it will all get compressed in less than 250 hundred chapters, considering also that we will have the Elbaf arc (well, at least everybody thinks so) and the final war will take lots of chapters (according to Oda it will dwarf the Marineford arc).

If I'm wrong on something please be kind, I'm just wasting time before going to sleep. :emohiyo:

Wano
Elbaf ?
Vegapunk ?
Final War ?
Raftel ?
Lodestar ?
WG final clash ?

About Im, I have a theory Joy Boy was the first D. and defeated by Im or an ancestor of Im alongside the Great Kingdom. That would make Luffy the ultimate destined man and avenger to presumably take on him at EoS to overthrow the WG, that crowning him as true Pirate King, rather than for finding the One Piece alone. Or doing the job post becoming Pirate King. So like "the ultimate super compelling mission". Eventually the Ancient Weapons could be found to fight him off too.

One Piece should have ended years ago if the editors actually grew some balls and forced Oda to a time stamp. However, since Oda has all this power now then that means One Piece is not going to end. Wano is 3 years long with over 100+ chapters, that means we have at least another 15 years of trash content. Post time skip has been an absolute wreck. There were literally THREE prelude arcs for Wano which were Punk Hazard, Dressrosa and Zou and yet Wano is still 3 years old and it is only about 60% finished. LMFAO! This is ridiclous.

No point in predicting anything anymore, Age is starting to affect Oda i think most arcs post timeskip are trash
The only good thing for me post time skip is the Reverie which lasted all of four chapters and Zou. Two of the shortest arcs were the best because they got to the freaking point instead of having 50 chapters where all the characters are just running around and fighting fodder. Literally Sanji running around, Usopp running around, Nami running around, Yamato running around, Momo running around, Scabbards are now running around, so many characters are just literally just running around. Luffy took five chapters of him fighting fodder and running just to get to the roof lmfao. Sorry for my rant.

There could be some unpredictable elements that people seem to dont consider: people talks about Lodestar arc or other elements like that... but why should there be a Lodestar arc?? Only because it was named? It doesnt make any sense. After Wano we are in the endgame,the VILLAGE (its always refered as a village and not as a island) of Elbaf will surely be a big part of this endgame,but after Wano OP will be in its final moments,you'll see.

Lodestar will probably occur due navigating matters. Luffy's crew parallel with the desire to navigate the Globe for example. But labeling it arc strikes as too excessive in my opinion, at least for the moment.

Ancient Weapons, Void Century, Will of D., Noah, VOAT, JoyBoy and a lot of this lore will be show in Laftel Arc in like 5-10 chapters, pehaps in some JoyBoy flashback, with more info on Imu, WG, Celestials and the formation of Red/Grand lines and Calm Belt showed more on the final War, where most of this characters we havent see show theirs powers will take parte like Dragon, CP0, Ryukugyu, Gorosei(?). I think of all lore of OP this part of Laftel/Final War was the one that Oda have been planning for more time.


The Akuma no Mi probably will be fully explained when Vegapunk appear, pehaps in Kaido FB when the Navy made experiments with this DF powers.

Even if the ongoing covid pandemic never happened, 2025 is still not probable... I say that pandemic just extended the series for another year or 2... Until 2028, I guess...
My speculation concerns the 30th adniversary. I seriously doubt that Oda will neglect himself the chance to have his manga reach up to such threshold.
