“ONE PIECE” manga releases volume 100 today on September 3. The advertisement for the release featured an image of the creator Eiichiro Oda drawing a panel with the sentence “The story is in its final stage.”
Now we know that he previously said last year that One Piece will end in 4-5 years. The person who was translating his interview live back then also said that it might really end in 4-5 years. However, given the history of Oda’s previous statements, he expected it to last for at least 7 more years.
One Piece is currently commemorating the 100th volume and upcoming 1000th anime episode with several projects. The “WE ARE ONE” project is one of many, and we are going to see more in the upcoming days as the milestones get even closer. The 5 episodes were:
- Zoro and Sanji in Davy Back Fight
- Powerful women characters of One Piece
- Law, Corazon and Doflamingo backstory
- Straw Hats farewell to Vivi
- Straw Hats joining the crew moments

One Piece being in its final stage sounds exciting, though also sad at the same time. Let’s hope Oda-sensei delivers an epic ending to the already epic story!
