It also corroborated the 2020 forecast that it would conclude in <span style=\"color:#f39c12\">&quot;four to&nbsp;five years.&quot;<\/span>&nbsp; His very loose five-year plan at the beginning has evolved into a very loose five-year plan to end <em><strong>One Piece<\/strong><\/em> and now, with him throwing the word &quot;final&quot; around, it finally seems like <em><strong>One Piece<\/strong><\/em> might actually be reaching the finish line.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But I think the thing we need to take away from all of this, more than any number, is Oda stating&nbsp;<em><strong>One Piece<\/strong><\/em><span style=\"color:#f39c12\"> <\/span>will finish &quot;<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/getnews.jp\/archives\/2063282\"><span style=\"color:#f39c12\">as I please.<\/span><\/a>&quot; Personally, I&#039;m pretty grateful for the circumstances of Oda&#039;s magnum opus. So few creators are granted the time and publication space to finish long stories on their terms. So few are able to keep up with the trying work conditions involved in the manga industry. <em><strong>One Piece<\/strong><\/em> is truly a once-in-a-lifetime story.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"One Piece\" src=\"https:\/\/img1.ak.crunchyroll.com\/i\/spire1\/e93e15365ec0985732d5d81c705892e51642446234_main.jpg\" style=\"height: 360px;width: 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So often, when a creator does become attached to a particular story or brand for a long time (with Oda, twenty-five years, plus the earlier years where he was working the kinks of the <em><strong>Romance Dawn<\/strong><\/em> story out), one or two things end up occurring: There is some kind of fan backlash because they feel they&#039;re unable to maintain the quality of the beloved story&nbsp;or they jump to the backseat and let someone else take the wheel. With Oda and <em><strong>One Piece<\/strong><\/em>, neither has happened. <em><strong>One Piece<\/strong><\/em> remains intensely popular and adored.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#039;s hard to imagine my life without <em><strong>One Piece<\/strong><\/em>. It&#039;s been a part of it for fifteen years now, and with a destination on the horizon, I&#039;m not sad about its end, but grateful that I got to experience the cruise. It&#039;s not just become one of the greatest stories that I&#039;ve ever experienced but an awe-inspiring testament to the power of a creator being able to deliver their work on their terms.
