This article contains spoilers from One Piece’s Elbaf Arc.
One Piece’s Wano Country arc was the first time that truly made the fans feel that the series was edging closer to its end. Before that, Oda mentioned on multiple occasions that One Piece would end in a set number of years, but nothing truly ever materialized. However, things are different now. One Piece finally entered the Final Saga after the end of the Wano Country Arc, and while this Final Saga is certainly not a short one, it is bound to end the series sooner or later.
Most fans expect One Piece to go on for a while, but the latest decision taken by Oda seems to imply that One Piece will be moving forward at a slightly rushed pace, which raises questions about when it’ll end.
Luffy Could Find The Last Road Poneglyph in Elbaf
- Luffy Only Needs One Road Poneglyph
- Elbaf Could Be Luffy’s Last Big Island Before Laugh Tale
As fans know, Luffy has had quite an adventure in One Piece and currently, after leaving Egghead, he’s in Elbaf. Luffy only cares about the adventure aspect of things, but he also knows that he needs to get the last Road Poneglyph. Surprisingly enough, the last Road Poneglyph might well be on Elbaf, and this is because Oda has heavily hinted at it.
Just one more, and we’ll finally be at the Final Island! — Franky
According to what’s been mentioned in the story so far, the last Road Poneglyph is with the Man with the Burn Scar, and this person seems to be none other than Scopper Gaban. If Gaban truly has the last Road Poneglyph, then it goes without saying that once the fighting ends in Elbaf, Luffy will have all the required Poneglyphs and will finally be within reach of the One Piece.
Oda Wanted To End The Manga By 2025
Oda Is Looking To End The Manga As Fast As Possible
One Piece fans know very well that Oda has always wanted to end the manga on a great note. Oda stated himself that he wants to create a series where the last part is the biggest and the most exciting part of the story. As such, one can say with confidence that Oda won’t rush any out of the story. However, at the same time, indeed, Oda can easily cut out parts that he deems not important.
The mysteries of the world, I’ll draw them all. Just bear with me a little longer. — Eiichiro Oda
One Piece recently entered the Loki flashback and clearly, the pace of the flashback is much faster than what fans are used to. Based on that, and the fact that Luffy might have all four Road Poneglyphs by the end of the arc, One Piece might end sooner than fans think.
One Piece Could Enter The Great War Arc After Elbaf
In Elbaf, Oda specifically called the war a prelude to the Great War that will engulf the world. In other words, the Great War could begin shortly after, and this is where everything could be settled. By all means, One Piece might truly end in the next few years.
