With the publication of the 100th compiled volume of the manga One piece, the editor of the series in the magazine Weekly shonen jump, Yuuji iwasaki, talked to Sankei news on the popularity of the franchise as well as the current state of the manga, including how far the Wano Country Arc is from the end.

One piece

Iwasaki, the eleventh editor of One Piece, said that he feels that "history is moving faster than we imagined. I have a strong feeling that it is coming to an end and that more and more secrets are being revealed every week". Eiichiro Oda, the creator, said a little over a year ago, in 2020, that the long-term manga had 4 to 5 years left. After a year, it seems that the series is still well on its way to ending within that time frame.

Iwasaki revealed that the Wano Country Arc is at its peak, stating that "When I speak to Oda, we always discuss the end of the story. The climax of the Wano Country Arc is just around the corner. With the end in sight, all that remains is to move forward". Oda confirmed in the same interview last year that the end had already been decided, and the editor said that now it's all about:"a weekly trial and error process to figure out how to get the story there. "

Synopsis of One Piece

Gol D. Roger was known as the β€œPirate King”, the strongest and most notorious creature to have ever sailed the Grand Line. The capture and execution of Roger by the world government brought about a change in the whole world. His last words before his death revealed the existence of the world's greatest treasure, the One Piece. It was this revelation that started the Great Age of Pirates, men who dreamed of finding the One Piece that promised unlimited fortune and fame and possibly the height of fame and the title of Pirate King.

Enter Monkey D. Luffy, a 17 year old boy who defies your standard definition of a pirate. Instead of the popular personality of an evil, hardened, toothless pirate who ransack villages for fun, Luffy's reason to be a pirate is a miracle: the idea of ​​an exciting adventure that leads him to fascinating people and ultimately to the promised treasure. In the footsteps of their childhood hero, Luffy and his team travel through the Grand Line, experience crazy adventures, uncover dark mysteries and fight against strong enemies in order to achieve the most coveted of all fortunes: the One Piece.
