Eiichiro Oda's "One Piece" manga may end in 2020.
Plus, the last "One Piece" manga chapter may see the "Greatest War" which could involve Yonko Captain Kaido of the Beast. Chapter 795, entitled "Suicide," mentioned this massive battle.
Series creator Eiichiro Oda also revealed that the final chapter for his "One Piece" manga is going to be amazing. He confirmed that "Greatest War" would be much greater than the Marineford Arc.
"One thing that motivates me to keep drawing 'One Piece' is that I want to draw the last chapter," Oda said in an interview with "One Piece Eternal Log," via Design&Trend. "The last chapter is amazing! I imagine a final chapter that will make the Marineford arc look like nothing [sic]."
Oda went on to reveal that he did not expect the Marineford arc to become popular since it felt like a "side trip" to him. He urged fans to stick with him until the end of the "One Piece" manga series.
"I don't know how readers will take this one," he added. "But the thing I think is really interesting will be in that last chapter."
"One Piece" manga editor Suguru Sugita has admitted that he already knows that the series is ending. The first part of the manga, before the time-skip event, was already around 50% to the story's completion.
"That was about 60 volumes, so maybe we're at 70%?" Sugita confirmed. "I don't think it's at 80% yet."
Movie News Guide speculated that the "One Piece" manga story could be around 70-79% complete and only needs 21-30% more. So, if around 70% of Oda's work would take around 18 years, the remaining 30% would only take about five to eight years more.
This could mean that fans can witness the "Greatest War" in the "One Piece" manga series by 2020 to 2023.
"One Piece" was first released in Japan on Dec. 24, 1997.
