It seems that the series will not arrive in 2026.
By now many of you will know that One Piece has finished the Wano arcthis being one of the twelve that Eiichiro Oda’s work has and of which we have already been able to know their names, thus giving rise to, after a well-deserved pause, the start of what is already confirmed as the final arc of One Piece.
It should be noted that, although the end seems imminent, those who know Oda’s working method will already know that this bow can last up to five years, since the mangaka tends to make very long stories in order to tell all kinds of details. However, although many theorized with an end close to 2030, looks like it won’t be that long.
One Piece will end in three years according to Eiichiro Oda
Under this premise, Oda recently granted an interview in which he spoke about the beginning of the endthereby giving rise to the fact that he has been quite direct, since he has commented that One Piece is scheduled to end in three yearsthis being a fact that has transcended quite a bit if we take into account that we are talking about the end of a franchise with almost a quarter of a century.
In any case, the mangaka could not be blamed for anything either, since after the Wano arc, one of the longest in the manga and anime, which, both have already exceeded 1,000 chaptersit is normal that the final arc is somewhat shorter, which seems that in its most recent chapter the possible confrontation between Shanks and Luffybeing both characters that will have a great importance in the future film of the series: One Piece RED.
Be that as it may, it will be necessary to see if Oda ends up keeping his word, since although three years is a more than feasible time, it cannot be ruled out that the story goes on a little longer if we take into account the mangaka’s way of working. Only time will tell if this prediction ends up being fulfilled.
