One Piece manga is on hiatus to prepare for the grand finale

One Piece takes a break and then it starts with the last part of the story.

One Piece actually comes out every week. But now the manga is taking one of its really rare breaks, and it lasts for a whole month. That’s because creator Eiichiro Oda wants to prepare for the final part of the story. Apparently the last arc is imminent, although fans are still debating whether a complete saga or just another arc could be meant. One thing is certain: we are giving the draftsman and the whole team a well-deserved break and hope they can recover.

One Piece: The Manga is on hiatus for a month

That’s what it’s about: One Piece creator and illustrator Eiichiro Oda has announced that the manga is going on a slightly longer hiatus. This takes place after the end of the current Wano arc and should be used to prepare for the next and final part of the story. This means that no new manga chapters will appear in the following period:

But no worry: Until then, two more chapters will appear, namely 1052 and 1053. Both should complete the events of the Wano story arc. Only then is it over for the time being, if only for a short time. The Shonen Jump issues 30 to 33 will then not contain any One Piece chapters. The big return then comes on July 25 with Shonen Jump Issue 34.

Fans are wondering what will happen next with One Piece

Saga or Arc? As is so often the case, the translation of Eiichiro Oda’s statement caused heated debates. Many fans are primarily concerned with the question of what exactly is meant by the last part of the story and how much One Piece is still ahead of us. Some of the community believes we’re about to face another full saga that could last up to ten years. Another part assumes a final arc that would be shorter.

Apparently, however, it seems more likely that a new arc and not a new saga comes:

How long is it out? However, the all-important question is how long this new, final story arc would be. Most fans seem to at least agree that there is still a lot to tell. Accordingly, the last One Piece arc should be extremely extensive if all narrative threads are to be brought to a satisfactory conclusion.

In line with the theory that only one One Piece arc is coming, Eiichiro Oda’s statements in 2020 would be that One Piece will end in five years. But of course, such assessments don’t have to be set in stone either, and we simply don’t know how long the manga series will last.

What do you think? What else has to happen and how long could it take?
