Said no one from the berserk Fandom.

I'm not ready for that day

There will be unanswered mysteries for sure

i think its more to One Piece is Real, its real life situations. esp WG, gorosei, & rev army. we havent know what Luffy dream is and what One Piece gonna be, but the main point Luffy wants to be the Pirate King, because he gonna have all the freedom in the world. and i think, he wants everyone to have their freedom as well. thats all it is.

​@@Seattletyy93exactly. It will be bittersweet but it's far better than what happened with berserk. Or HxH

Sounds like just an excuse and he probably will never read it. Most likely will just skim. Half the fun of the story is speculating about all of the mystery.

He is missing out on all the mysteries and IF he starts reading/watching One Piece at that point, will most likely be spoiled again and again, instead of enjoying the adventure as it should be. Shame, but good luck to him.

I said the same thing to my buddies until August. I just caught up the other day. Tell your buddy that someone who was in his shoes and changed his mind is telling him he won't regret it.

Lame

I know he likely won't listen but you GOTTA convince him that he's gonna wanna *be there* once the story ends

Oh, I think Oda’s definitely cooking up something good for him. I just feel like he’s diminished in the meantime since post-timeskip One Piece is so long.

@@TrackingShots true I feel that. Along the lines with Kuma though I think we might be in store for one pieces "greatest hits" section with how hard oda seems to be going into flashbacks of important characters now.

​@@TrackingShotsThe volcano is still active, and is bound to erupt soon

Very true

Not really, 3 years is an entire pretty major arc

13 GOD Knights looks like Read hair Pirates shanks , Dragon revolutionary Forces , The Giant Warriors and the SunnyGO Grand fleet 13 Alliances Captains.

You act like there will be an actual end... or one that will be both eventful and doesn't feel like it's a waste of time

@@ilajoie3 Oda has stated that he already knew how one piece would end when he started writing, so I have no doubt that it will be satisfying to most people.

​​Also a possibility Oda could drop the ball with an underwhelming ending I hope for a really good ending ​@@immersion6105

18 years… oh man is that like skypiea? Or even earlier

@@UltraBlue164 Water 7, but like with this sort of time with the series you definitely develop a different perspective. You have to live with the series week to week to really understand what the audience felt at the time and how attitudes on certain characters and arcs have changed over time. Thriller Bark was hated at the time because it followed up the literal best saga in the series but now isn't hated nearly as much when the reader can experience it at a brisker pace. Dressrosa was a grueling 3 years where we were up the mountain, down the mountain and back up the mountain but now is considered top tier. As an older reader I definitely have differing feelings towards a lot of arcs and characters than newer fans have and expectations are definitely skewed by the popularity the series has on KZfaq now. The funny thing is to watch the same the same things happen with the fandom. The mixed feelings and "asspull" talk around Gear 5 happened the exact same way about Gear 2 at the time and newer fans just accept it as something that was always there.

You're right, i only started watching OP in late July 2023, binged the fuck out of it eventho i was hating on it for years, watched the first 500 eps in like 2months/ month and a half and i honestly didn't care that much when merry was replaced, eventho everyone told me that it's like the top 3 saddest moments in OP... (deep down I've always known that their ship is gonna have to be replaced at some point, especially after Skypiea) i just couldn't get attached to the merry in 1 month (while in reality it spent 10 years with the strawhats, so being a weekly since the beginning is way better than just starting near the end) Same goes for Ace's & WB death being spoiled for me, but impel down & marineford were still great arcs and storytelling

@@logistaur what a shame that your enjoyment of the series was tainted that badly. The thing is, it's better to take your time with it and soak it all in. No rush. Also for the love of god, watching it really isn't the way to go

I forgot Shiki has those peg legs. When I think of peg legs, I always think of Zeff first

to be fair, shiki only had peg legs in the movie. His only manga appearance, he still had regular legs.@@shartley5343

@@shartley5343same

I'd go to say that Oda has a preference for one-eyed characters. Sanji rarely if ever has both eyes visible, and Zolo is down to one eye now - that we understand... is he hiding something? hmmm why not add a third one-eyed character to the big three?

I think maybe joyboy had an eye patch?

I agree same with dragon he is literally trying to take down the WORLD gov you gotta be patient to do that

agree w both of you.

I mean Everytime we've seen Akainu since he became fleet admiral he's legit always complained about being stuck at base not able to join in on current operations or fights. Literally the only opportunity he's had to do any type of physical work is when X character flew onto marijois and started destroying stuff before leaving cause Akainu attacked him.

🧡

Prolly cause there dead, and any notable fruit users have a crew to save them or aren’t dumb

@@UltraBlue164 That's true. To me it seems like Oda is saving it for a specific character. Who I'm not sure, but I'm excited

My money is on Blackbeard

God Valley will be where where we finally get a fully fleshed out Roger I guess. But other than that, what's more to know really? He was a D, strong as all fuck, conquered the Grand Line, found the One Piece, was 30 years early, Laughed, got cancer or something fitting the OP world, decided when and where to die for maximum impact so to start the great pirate era and move the chess pieces into position so that they have a chance to check mate Imu when the time is right. I'd hardly call that nothing.

​​@@hanswurst2923Yeah and even if it was simple it was epic Like Luffy

Nah he works

Watch oda will have already answered all your questions prob already has but it won't be till we hit the end and u re read that u find them all

Yeah I wonder, he will probably leave some last vague clues for some unanswered secrets, some more definitive clues for others, and answers or nothing at all for the rest

Yeah, my brain don’t work sometimes. I caught that at like 3:00 a.m. the night before posting and just couldn’t be bothered to fix it. I hope you’ll forgive me.

not to mention rob lucy😭

😱

Lmao, is crazy that you say "his old characters that are forgotten" where we literally just had what may be the best flashback and character which was a "Forgotten character" only to be more relevant than ever. If you drop the series what's point of this comment? You didn't like so just keep it pushing. Unless you still like One Piece 😂

It’s from the newest One Piece opening. 26, I believe.

Viz put out a 10 minute trailer with new animations for the 20th anniversary. It’s wonderful, and it looks like how you remember Naruto more than how it actually looked at the time.

I’ve always interpreted it as the World Government’s encroachment further and further into the New World after Vegapunk developed ships that can navigate the Calm Belt. In my mind, they had a much smaller presence there until somewhat recently, which is also part of the reason why places like Wano and Elbaf have managed to remain independent or emperor controlled up until this point.
