In the world of manga and anime, there’s one ongoing series that scares away most people in terms of its vast length. Yes, you guessed it right, I’m talking about One Piece. However, despite its size, people are attracted to it like moths to a flame.
Of course, other series like Detective Conan, Hajime no Ippo, or Pokemon can be longer or more widespread than One Piece, but no one can deny the brand that Eiichiro Oda has built. Being one of the Top 3 Shonen manga and anime worldwide, One Piece has claimed its throne in the history of the weeb world.
Currently, the manga is following the Straw Hat Pirates’ adventures on Egghead Island. At the time of writing this article, the series is close to reaching 1050 chapters which is a milestone in and of itself.
The anime is adapting the Wano Country Arc, which is the longest arc in One Piece. Overall, the series is nowhere near its end. Yet fans are always haunted by a single question, when will One Piece end?
For some, the question is laced with genuine curiosity, but for others, it’s a dreadful countdown. Who would want to lose a series that they have grown up with? Nonetheless, everything comes to an end, and so will One Piece.
When Will One Piece Really End?
As of now, there has been no official announcement of when One Piece might end. Author Eiichiro Oda has envisioned the finale but has not confirmed a date for the ending. The most recent prediction regarding the manga’s end is around 2025, but given the mangaka’s history of elongating the story, it’s not to be trusted.
One Piece will end only after Luffy has discovered Gol D. Roger’s treasure, the titular One Piece. There are still many more mysteries that are yet to be uncovered; take the Void Century, for example.
While Oda is slowly unraveling the mysteries one by one, it will still take years before the 1000+ chapters can come together and make sense of the world and its state.
What Is One Piece’s Final Arc?
One Piece has entered its Final Saga, which will conclude its storyline. However, each saga is divided into several arcs, and the final one will be the same. The Egghead Arc is the first arc of the Final Saga of One Piece.
The Final Saga began with chapter 1058 of One Piece, and there’s no telling how long the manga will extend before it’s finally done.
Will One Piece Continue Forever?
No, One Piece will not continue forever. The manga is already in its Final Saga and will reach its end after multiple arcs. The ending is nowhere nearby, but that does not mean it will continue forever.
What Is One Piece’s Longest Arc?
The Wano Country Arc is One Piece’s longest arc to date. It occupied 149 chapters and is a whole saga by itself. The One Piece anime is also adapting the Wano Country Arc at the moment, and the episode count has crossed 180. It was published in 16 volumes (90-105).
In the arc, the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance gathers in Wano Country to battle against the Beasts Pirates. The history of Kozuki Oden and his toes to Wano is also discovered, along with his lineage. The Alliance assaults Onigashima to take down Kaidou and Big Mom. Luffy also attains his Fifth Gear in this arc.
Who Is the Final Villain in One Piece?
The final villain of One Piece is Imu. It is a mysterious individual who occupies the Empty Throne and rules the World Government from behind the shadows. The Five Elders are only the public face of the organization. Imu is singlehandedly responsible for all the horrible deeds committed by the World Government.
Imu’s identity is a huge mystery, and they have never made a proper appearance in One Piece. Only glimpses of their power and position have been exposed so far.
