One Piece Creator Comments on Manga's Final 5-Year Plan
✖
One Piece has been going on for more than twenty years at this point, and it has a way left to go. Creator Eiichiro Oda never expected his seafaring story to run this long, but fans are grateful for its perseverance. In the wake of chapter 1000, fans are bracing themselves for the manga's end because it will surely come about soon enough, but Oda is still playing coy with the whole thing.
Recently, the artist touched upon his final plan for
One Piece during a special interview. Oda spoke with the creator of Rurouni Kenshin in light of the latter's new art exhibition. It was there the samurai artist asked if One Piece really has five years left, and Oda was vague with this response.
