Chapter 1000 certainly marked an important point in Eiichiro Oda’s work. For a few weeks now, however, the volume 100 of ONE PIECE has also been published in Japan, another milestone that Shueisha is celebrating. Triple the numbers for the Tankobon, a huge number few others can boast. AND there seem to be many more to be planned.
There’s still a bit left of the end of Luffy’s adventure, with Oda and the editorial team seeming confident that they can close everything down in a few years. Until recently there was talk of five years, so a few hundred chapters to close everything from the author, and this will also mean that the number of tank receipts will grow. How many volumes will ONE PIECE have in the end? Let’s try to estimate it from the statements of the author and the editor.
needless to say Oda could easily break the wall of 200 chapters probably in the next few years. Four or five years, given the numerous pauses the author takes in publishing, it seems like little to unravel all the subplots, the main story, the secrets and at the same time bring all the major characters back to the pages. Not to mention the Wano saga isn’t over yet.
But let’s assume that Oda succeeds in respecting this timing and that we therefore only have 200 chapters of ONE PIECE left. Given that there is currently enough material for 101 volumes, ONE PIECE could have a volume of around 120. end up. However, it is possible that the timing will be exceeded and we will find yourself on a manga of around 125 volumes. A few more, but enough to keep the story going for a few more years.
