The show has the most loyal fan base, which has enjoyed watching the story of Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirate crew as they get closer and closer to unraveling the secret of Gol D. Roger’s most-prized treasure, One Piece.

With the show nearing its end, Oda-Sensei had decided what the last chapter of his hallmark masterpiece would be – that too 25 years ago, and the fans are not ready for it.

Oda-Sensei stated that in the final chapter of the series, not only will the Straw Hat Pirate Crew be in the limelight, but also the major events from the real world will be showcased. Oda-Sensei said,

I’ve already decided on the last panel and how the last chapter will be. In the final saga, I’ll focus on not only Straw Hats but also on *events happening in the whole world*. The problem is how many years it will take to start the final saga..

With the show now in one of its final chapters, the manga artist might be planning something grand that will take the world by storm. Well, what began as a captivating story for weebs is again going to break the internet as Oda-Sensei has planned something extraordinary.

On the surface, One Piece would look like an adventure show about a boy and his crew looking for some treasure in the sea. However, the series is much deeper than that, as the manga artist has not shied away from showcasing some concerning vices from the real world.

From racism to slavery, it has invoked human emotions neatly integrated with a gripping storyline embedded with themes like justice, empathy, and resilience. The comments of Oda-Sensei have sent shockwaves among the fandom, as they were not ready for it yet.

Moreover, they are dropping their opinions on Sandman’s post, praising the manga artist for his creativity, and foreshadowing various events that happened much later in the show.






Well, it would be intriguing to see what Eiichiro Oda has in store for his fans, but one thing is certain: the world is not ready for it, as it will show the world its vices in the face.
