Having only been a part of the community for about 3 years at this point, I'm more emotionally invested in this story than most other things in life. I'm both excited and sad the story is coming to a long awaited conclusion
Thats the beauty of our community, 3 days, 3 years, or over 15 like me, its all the same. You feel the feels. Youre there for the tears and you cheer when they cheer. I love one piece
Ironic, when I was a kid in school I couldn't wait for one piece to end. Now, as a man approaching marriage, and the Manga almost at its final saga, I don't want it to end.
I started one piece 7 months ago looking forward to the never ending anime. Now I'm leaving fishman island and I'm scared for the eventuality of the end
I know for the final arc, you can have GIANT war where you bring all of the bad guys who died back to life to fight IM-sama. We then find out Im-sama is not the final bad guy, but rather Kaguya of the moon is the real final bad guy. Then the only way for Luffy to beat her is for usopp to fire a magic arrow at her to temporarily take away all of her powers. Then the story will end with Vegapunk trying to build a time machine to go back into the past and stop humanity from suffering the void century. ...Nah, that would be stupid. ' Thankfully no manga end with any of those stupid plot points.
if I remember correctly, Oda was a huge fan of a Japanese-German cartoon called "Vicke the Viking" when he was a kid. when taking that into consideration, and the fact that Elbaf has been relatively prominent throughout the story, I would be very surprised if the crew did not go there, even if only for a few chapters.
I just hope he does not Copy the ending of the animated series wickie (not the source material) where the vikings went to War to defend denmark and the series ended on that. Imagine One Piece ended at the final battle with the World government
we spent 20 years aiming for lodestar believing it was the final island where one piece was, it would suck if we didnt get to at least see it. I just dont see how Oda can do Elbaf, Laugh Tale and Final War in 180 chapters, we get about 36 chapters a year so 5 years is only 180 chapters, surely thats not enough. my dream final saga 1. Elbaf Arc - get the last road poneglyff 2. sphinx island arc - save whitebeards island from weevil 3. lodestar arc - luffy gives shanks back the straw hat but obviously wind sup keeping it 4. laugh tale arc - luffy vs. blackbeard for the one piece, void century reveal 5. final war arc - final battle against akainu, cp-0, marines, gorosei, imu 6. epilogue arc - where are teh straw hats in the next chapters of their lives final two pages are the sunny sailing into the sunset with luffy yelling "onto the next adventure" the sunset signalling that the dawn of this adventure we've been following has come to its end.
And the sunny begins to sail away to one final chorus of "We Are!" While doing a flashback of all the most memorable scenes from the entire series ending with a final end credit scene of usopp finishing telling the story of his grand adventures as a brave warrior of the sea
I like to think that the actual fight between Garp, rocks and Roger destroyed God valley, like their clashes were splitting the island, and rocks as a devil fruit user drowned while Garp and Roger just swam back up
There is almost a 100% chance we will visit Ace and Whitebeards graves in this final section Serves 2 purposes, give Luffy a chance to honor his brother and give Yamato closure on Ace, the one she originally made the promise with
The problem is A. Unless ive missed something we don't know What's going to happen with Yamato yet this might be the only arc she is a major player in B. It wouldn't since for luffy to take his ship and make a beeline trip hundreds if not thousands of nautical miles to visit the graves. So its more like a 25% chance of a cover story of Yamato visiting the graves and .5% chance of theme going to it in the manga
10:00 Roger didn't know of anyone that had travelled to Lodestar but him, that by itself shows that is going to have relevance. If not they would just have said that it was a skippable island. Lodestar is definitely a stepping stone to get to Laughtale.
I feel like there is still a lot to happen in one piece before the end, I'm more with the group that's interpreting his words as a final saga because packing elbaf, laugh tale and the final war in a single arc would just be too much, and jumping directly into laugh tale would feel like rushing things
From what we know Oda said only the juicyest Part will be over after that. So im sure "One Piece" ends whit Laughtail. And something happened after for the war. Maybe a Canon Movie, Two Piece, or a long Ark after that.
I think elbaf is the next arc after wano. Then we will probably get into the last arc or arcs. I think shank's crew, mihawk and some others are gonna be in elbaf
Shank's ship on Viking culture. Giants are a big part of Viking mith so it makes sense. Alternatively if Shanks is based on the founder of Greenland it could be a Usop/Buggy situation with Shank's being the guardian of the final island, but the island itself is a huge scam.
Don’t know why some people are thinking that there’s literally one arc left with the insane amount of buildup and questions we need answers to throughout this 25 year long story
each yonko that is an enemy or hurdle for the straw hats seems to be obsessed with something essential to the one piece and the void century. Big mom is obsessed with every species and specifically extinct ones and giants above all else which are possibly important for the void century and history of the world in many ways. Kaido was obsessed with joy boy which is important for obvious reasons and he was essential to the information held on wano as well as our understanding of mythic zoans. He is essential to all of those things and us as readers learning about these parts of the story. And, finally Blackbeard who may or may not be connected to rocks thus god valley, but more importantly his obsession with devil fruits and being the only character with the power of multiple devil fruits. Which is crazy in and of itself but also important in the one piece world history and could be connected to maybe everything in the one piece world and the void century. Versus the other yonko and the pirate king Roger who were more so obsessed and driven by more protagonist type things and general themes to be “good” rather than “bad/evil” characters . Whiteboard wanted family and lives by that desire and belief in his family of pirates till his death. Roger with freedom similar to luffy and adventure for the fun of it. And shanks which I’m not 100% on, but shanks seems obsessed with peace or balance so far as well as fun and adventure like Roger and luffy, but more driven by peacemaking and being like the referee so far. This seems mostly true to me and could be another aspect or layer Oda thought of while writing these characters and there importance to one piece, Let me know what y’all think
Laugh Tale should be look like Dr. Hiluluk mentioned about the wonderland where cherry blossom blooms. It should be very rocky and stage like where Davy Jones set his first Davy Back Fight. Also it has Mythical Force with all devil fruit power came from.
@@mokaljordan I've seen someone else bring this up, but that leads to a pretty big issue: Roger was stated to be the first person to get to Laugh Tale in centuries, but people go there to get wood sometimes. How could both be true?
@@calliopeshif7581 yea good point welp, there goes that theory😁 im starting to think that oda scrapped the idea of the treasure tree adam cuz im at a lost where it can be and how it can be sold on the black market nor do i think it will be addressed in the final saga
My thought are Elbaf- 40ish chapters 1 year Laughtale- 70chapters 2 years Throne Wars- 130 Chapters 3.5 years Epilogue- 30 chapter 1 year One piece ends in approx. early 2030
bro tekking you're the biggest chad i have ever seen you pump put videos every single day even if you have plans since today is op dnd and yesterday was isekai dnd you deserve the vacation that you're going on man
My best idea for what the One Piece is, is something that's been right in front of our faces for decades but just altered to fit the themes: my idea is the One Piece is a Poneglyph but polished to mirror-like levels, so when both Roger's crew and Luffy's crew look at it, they see a reflection of themselves and start laughing. Basically poneglyphs are one of the few things that could have lasted for 800 years, and on the other sides could be inscriptions which explain the void century maybe. But the main side, the side you would see first, is a reflection of yourself. It makes you think about what type of person you are, but also to reflect on the long journey to get here. And, to appreciate your friends as the real treasure. All in one final poneglyph, the One Piece. I haven't seen this theory anywhere else and I came up with it after thinking about what possibilities could be the most thematically impactful. So if you like it and think it could be true, feel free to share it but please credit me. Andrew Espinoza, or "This Week in Anime" my channel on UA-cam
It can be that in that its a special poneglyph that tests the ppl in its presence but it has to be more than that based on Whitebeards final speech, finding the one piece is going to lead a world war of some sorts against the marines, my guess was that its one huge or multiple rio and instructional poneglyphs that says bring nika and or bring nika and poseidon,uranus amd pluton as well as tell of the first joyboys journey while sealing something else in poneglyph to take out the celestial dragons and imu
6:50 I can't believe I haven't thought of this before, it literally reminds me of some video games where you beat the final boss and finish the game but you didn't get the true ending, because you didn't get a certain item or talk to an npc that unlocks a special sidequest
I think how they could break up the war itself to stop readers from getting fatigued, is to have it take place over multiple island battles. It might be interesting to see a medium sized ship battle as well, just really digging into the PotC vibe for a bit.
Great point about the length of Wano. I feel it's optimistic to think OP will be over in 4-5 years. My guess is 5.5-6 years. And another year and a half for anime. Just wild speculation on my part
I like to think the world government had reached loadstar but can’t find laughttale because you have to be with someone who has the voice of all things to know there is another island. In terms of pirates only Roger who actually found the one piece and luffy who will find the one piece have the voice of all things
What if Laugh Tale is actually a sky island (above Elbaf, connected by Yggdrasil) 😬, IMO it has to be because you'd imagine people would've stumbled across it a few times by now 🤔
DAMN BRO. After all these years and theories I've seen, this one seems the most interesting and cool. the idea that nobody has found it because 99% of people don't believe in sky Islands, and then the journey up the tree is so treacherous even the 1% can't get there but for extremely rare cases? I'll be satisfied with any explanation of Laugh Tale cause I trust Oda and know he won't fumble, but this one is so cool hahaha
Your explanation of the tree in Elbaf is exactly like the levels in impel down. Good point since oda mirrors arcs and war Arc will parallel this upcoming war
I'm amazed Matt didn't do a video on the ONE PIECE CARD GAME some people are already playing on UA-cam... it's got its first set and rulebook revealed and all
Tekking is the favorite fan of one piece I enjoy to watch . But it's videos like these that make me glad reacters like Tekk and Rogersbase aren't editors
What if Laugh Tale is just a random island that JoyBoy found one day and he kinda just forgot about it atill the day the 20 kingdoms made their move. So JoyBoy thinks back to this island he founded all these years ago and uses it to hide all his treasure and knowledge that he gathered through the years. This is probably the reason why the government doesn't just destroy Laugh Tale because they have no idea where it is. It's possible JoyBoy kept this island a secret ever from his own people.
Even if they are shorther than Wano, Dressrosa or WCI, people have to be prepared at the possibility more breaks like the one coming may happen. All because future OP movies and the netflix live action potentially having more seasons. The whole community theory that the story only has 3 years left is dumb imho.
@@dangeredspecies689 I´m of the opinion One Piece still has 150- 200 chapters left. Roughly 35 to 38 chapters come out a year, so that´s basically 5 to 6 years and a half. In terms of arcs? Elbaf (15-20 chapters) Laughtale (30-60 chapters) Final War (50 to 100 chapters) Epilogue (5-10 chapters).
@@dangeredspecies689 Yeah because I’ll think they’ll be a information dump/final training/ forces gathering arc before the “Throne Wars”. And that will be pretty short imo.
@@nunobettencourt1429 I don’t want to be negative but I’m setting very low expectations for the live action show, it’s probably only going to get one season
Theirs so much information that needs to be discussed hopefully he’s able to bring it all together, and not forget about certain things he’s already brought up.
Here's what I'd love to get before the end, but not sure I need it to be satisfied if Oda writes the story well. Post-Oda break/wano/reverie/warolds update - 2-5 chapters Elbaf (giants history, shanks, Usopp dream, final road poneglyph, Adam/eve tree, vegapunk, origin of DF's) - 20-30 chapters End of Grand Line/journey to Laughtale, lodestar, more world events- 2-5 chapters Laughtale arc (clash with Blackbeard crew, Joyboy/void century flashback, maybe rocks/god valley/WG flashback) - 60-100 chapters Post-laughtale/new king of the pirates/destruction of redline?/Return to East Blue/paradise arc to reunite with allies/Brook, Sanji, Nami, Robin, Franky dream completed? - 5-10 chapters Final battle vs WG/Imu - ~50 chapters Epilogue ~ 3-5 chapters.
Damn, One Piece has been nearly 20 years in my life, and was there with me at almost every milestone in my life, it hits different to read “final saga” with this one.
@@Xenon-yx8lb I started a few days ago after hearing Tekking actually mention it a few times in his Elbaf videos. About half though series thus far. It's great.
If we're spitballing ideas, i demand at least one davy back fight for the last poneglyph. Maybe it's against shanks or maybe he's officiating the one between blackbeard and luffy
I'm just imagining after all his scheming and building up his pirate empire, Blackbeard just agreeing to essentially Pirate Olympics and there never being an actual serious fight between the BB pirates and the Strawhats lmao
@@wisewolfds i imagine it as the blackbeard's wanting to start something serious, but as soon as they get their guns out or whatever, shanks gets out The Look. Because, really? Are you really gonna say no to shanks when he wants his silly fun pirate games? Do you really wanna be the guy to piss him off?
A bronze statue of a monkey deity mooning the moon. That is the one piece. If I spent the majority of my life looking for this thing and find it to be a monkey mooning the moon, I would laugh too
23:00 Laugh Tale kinda has to include the Roger flashback, and that might be as long if not longer than Oden's, though. Don't see "a couple dozen" chapter being enough for all of that.
I like to think of it like Samurai Jack. Think what you will of the ending, say it was rushed or how Aku should’ve been harder to kill, say it was amazing and the final scenes made you bawl your eyes out, but regardless of which you chose, just remember the journey to. Remember why you watched the story to begin with. And remember that journey of watching it you personally went on, good and bad.
I swear the talk about lodestar got me thinking of this series called “Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town.” As if lodestar has people that believe they are normal but are crazily overpowered compared to the average person anywhere else. Like for example what if everyone is lodestar had devil fruit powers and that was normal for them. Not likely but a fun little what if regardless.
IIRC Roger talked of Lodestar as if he was one of, if not the first person, to travel there, so I'd assume it was uninhabited otherwise Roger would have no reason to make that claim.
Oh my God. What if Zoro's lack of direction is actually pulling him towards a certain location? He didn't have issue with direction til the grand line and maybe his inner compass is pulling him towards Laughtale or God Valley?
With the place we are at right now with Wano, I have a bit of a hard time believing that we are physically leaving it within 2 chapters, so I started wondering if we might be done with the Wano "arc" (as the main Kaido/Orochi threat is wrapped up) but not with Wano itself. And the way I could actually see this happen is by the last "saga" or whatever we might call it starting of with an arc similar to Reverie that cuts away from the Strawhats for a while, focusing on world events and then going back to them picking up last mysteries and clues on Wano on their upcoming Laugh Tale journey.
As for stuff we need to cover in the story: 1 - Elbaf 2 - Lodestar 3 - Meeting Shanks and his crew 4 - Luffy meets his dad 5 - What happened at Reverie 6 - Assaulting the Marines/Tenryubito 7 - Eneru coming back/going to the moon 8 - I want a comeback of Crocodile, Das Bones and, this is a personal hope, them having recruited Captain Kuro to their organization 9 - Reuniting Brook with Laboon 10 - I want more of Katakuri 4, 5 and 6 can all be wrapped up together into a single arc I guess, during which the Red Line is destroyed, along with Fishman Island, so the All Blue happens. 3 will likely be roped with the actual Laugh Tale arc where they fight Black Beard's crew. I very much don't think that the story will end very soon. That 5 year completion time frame is more likely.
Pretty sure Oda will release the last chapter exactly 30 years after chapter 1. He's a wizard with that stuff. For example, chapter 231, may 27th 2002 finish with Luffy saying "I'll be back before dawn" 20 years later, chapter 1050, may 30th 2022, the red scabbards came back before dawn, like the prophecy foretold. Just ignore the 3 days difference given the jump release schedule
It would be interesting if we learn about Loadstar not from the strawhats perspective, but from 1 of the supernovas. For example 1 or 2 chapters showing Urouge arriving at Loadstar and finding about the road poneglyphs
Would be cool if he left to become a pirate because he could also read the writing, and seeing Rogers name and learning of him drove Urouge to the sea.
I love the time travel theory so much even though there is very little evidence for it. Luffy is not Joy Boy but Joy Boy is Luffy. Like after finding the one piece, Luffy will go to the void century in the past to free the people. This will address the most complaint aspect of Luffy being the chosen one not because of luck or destiny but because he is literally the one who people think he is chosen of. This will also actually show us the history of the world instead of telling or the crew reading it from a poneglyph.
Do you mean Luffy going back in time to change the reality? Bc the problem I see here is that the original JoyBoy failed. He failed to set the world free. So in this idea, the JoyBoy figure is actually Luffy who traveled back in time, and... Lost. That would leave us stuck In a loop where the world is never freed, right? If you do actually mean that Luffy goes back in time to change things and free everyone, then the current One Piece story wouldn't exist. Not trying to be mean, but yeah I don't understand how the time travel idea would actually work lol
@@calliopeshif7581 maybe he frees the world and after that he travels back in time to fail again or to set up everything, so it can happen again. That would meen that the past can't be changed and everything happens like it always happend
While I don't think that OP will end in few month, what I'm hyped/worried about is that we might start geting those hype closure moments like Luffy returing the hat to Shanks, Zoro vs Mihawk, Sanji finding all blue, all 3 ancient weapons in action,... quite soon, because I believe all of them need their time to shine in the manga. Also, what I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention is that we need massive, and I mean MASSIVE, flashback centered around Joyboy, Im, the 5 elder stars and the void century.
I've thought about what they could do with shanks , and this is my take : Luffy wants to get last poneglyph , and goes to lodestar island to get it. They meet shanks there , re uniting stuff , and shanks reveals his secrets. He finds out that last poneglyph is on elbaf BB arrives , fights shanks It would be symbolic , since lodestar is the last island that you can get to without poneglyphs , and shanks' sword is named griffin ( griffins are usually keepers in folklore) mugiwaras flee to elbaf while shanks is holding BB back , they explore the island and try to find the poneglyph
I don't think they're going to visit God Valley, but I do think we will see more about it through a flashback about the Rocks Pirates. We haven't seen anything within the Calm Belts, either, so maybe there's an island or something within the Calm Belts that the Straw Hats might need to travel to. Plus, they have to traverse Reverse Mountain again to see Laboon. I do agree the Straw Hats will get the One Piece before the Throne Wars starts. And of course, still waiting on the Revolutionary Army to really get a chance to shine...
I started watching One Piece because of your conversations about it, I’m 560 episodes deep and I love it, but I am excited for the upcoming Bleach Videos. Durning the month break, could you make a video(s) on the upcoming bleach final arc, because I’m excited to see it and hear your thoughts over it!
And really one of the interesting channels, thanks for the video, I can't wait for the last saga and the arch and the end of the story to see all the secrets. Such ideas give hope that there will be more writers who can come up as Oda -Sensei :D
Lodestar could be the place Luffy finally meets up with Shanks. Would make for quite an interesting arc too. I would obviously be more than okay with that being wrong and Luffy meeting him elsewhere too. Just figured it would poetic of sorts.
Man I have really ben following one peice for 25 years. I started in August 97. At one point I wondered if if I would follow it to completion. Gonna be bitter sweet watching it end. I've gotten so many ppl into the community. This is crazy
One thing I would like Oda to do is make a stampede-style movie where it would be the final battle/end of one piece. So we would have the full one piece experience, with the music, animation..., imagine how epic it was going to be.
So now that we have a break coming up. I recently reread skypea and noticed again how insane viper was. Probably the only character that luffy met who matched him in willpower and determination. U should rly make a video about him.
There was a video i watched called "the new world was forshadowed from chapter 1" where almost everything from east blue saga was a mini version of the new world, id recommended watching it, or a live reaction to the video, its its really god, then someone in the comment section said the first half of the granline forshaows this final arc. From little garden mirroring elbaf, enies lobby water 7 mirroring the final war,
I believe it was called a saga, at least in the translation i read, and that usually means 3 "arcs" so likely 3 islands or locations. Likely 1. Elbaf 2. Laugh Tale 3. Mariejois Elbaf will have shanks likely now that luffy is a true yonkou and they may fight to prove he's a great pirate, maybe Loki or Odin will be an antagonist. Laugh Tale will likely deal with Blackbeard and Mariejois will be Im and the marines.
The word was ambiguous so the translation is not unequivocal, that's why there's discussion. Lodestar is definitely a stepping stone to get to Laughtale, Roger said that they were the only people he knew that got there. If it's a random irrelevant island there's no reason to say it.
Elbaf might be short, could be just a guiding path. Luffy is the Sun God who the giants worship, they are friends with Broggy and Dorry, Harudin. The giants on Enies Lobby. Usopp is obsessed. There doesn't seem like this place will provide conflict but will be a place that is essential for moving forward/ backstory.
Realistically we have 6 arcs left (Post Wano, Elbaf, Lodestar, Laugh Tale, Final War, Epilogue) probably around 200-300 chapters so we have anywhere from 4-6 years
Sorry if this has already been mentioned but the word Oda used was 章(shou) in Japanese which means book. Based on what I’ve seen the typical term for “arc” when it pertains to a manga is 編(hen) so it’s unlikely he meant this announcement to be of the final arc of ONE PIECE. Final book or final saga would be a more appropriate translation here.
Here's my ridiculous Laugh Tale theory: So we know that the island's location can be revealed by drawing straight lines between the coordinates given by the 4 Road Poneglyphs, right? Specifically, Laugh Tale is going to be where the two lines cross. But actually if you extend 2 lines on a globe, they're not going to cross in one, but TWO places. One's going to be where everyone expects the One Piece to be: Somewhere around the end of the New World. But what if the Straw Hats then travel to that point and find nothing but water? Well, a smart navigator like Nami may just remember about that second intersection on the exact opposite of the world, somewhere close to Sabaody Archipelago / Marineford. At that point the Straw Hats could split up into two groups, one taking the road through Reverse Mountain and Paradise while the other travels the New World backwards. On their way the two groups would meet up with all the friends they made along their travels, a lot of which will join their final journey to Laugh Tale. When the two groups eventually reunite at the end of Paradise, a massive Straw Hat Grand Fleet will have amassed, ready to fight the Final War against Blackbeard and/or the World Government, who somehow discovered the One Piece's location at a similar time.
Probably through watching the straw hats find it tbh. Just like he waited for Luffy to start the impel down breakout. Just like he waited for marineford to come to it's ending before making his entrance
Hey tekking was just thinking about this when you said trees are important. The sunny is made from Adam Wood and since the themes have a lot to do with dark/light moon/sun I think that maybe the sunny may have a huge role to finding the one piece much like the merry had a huge role in saving the straw Hats. Moreover, the only ship to make it to laugh tale is Rogers which is also Adam Wood.
My guess is that Elbaf is next, and that it will be around 30-40 chapters; it might be where they’ll find the last Road Poneglyph. If they go to Lodestar, then it could serve as an even shorter transitionary arc moving on to Laugh Tale, which I could see being a 50-70 chapter arc if that’s where they end up confronting the Blackbeard Pirates. The Final War arc will probably come after Luffy learns about the Void Century and effectively becomes the Pirate King.
This is my prediction for the final saga: One Piece: Pirate King Saga - Mariejois Arc - Elbaf Arc - Lodestar Island Arc - Raftel/ Laugh Tale Arc - Final War Arc
I feel like the one piece at the end of the day is gonna be the embodiment of freedom for fans to enjoy the story at there own pace in there own medium and for Luffy to finally be "The free-est man on the sea" as hes loosely translated tocsaying
Here's an idea: for when you get few animal facts you could look up if there's a devil fruit from that animal or look anime versions of that animal (example: gecko facts: like 2 facts and the devil fruit of smiley or idk if there is a MHA gecko quirk)
I see it going; Elbaf and the last Poneglyph Lodestar and/or the battle against Blackbeard Laugh Tale Mariejois and the war of D Epilogue I've always had trouble figuring out where Blackbeard fits into the story as both Im and Blackbeard would normally work as final antagonists however Im's tyranny has been built up a much greater threat to the freedom Luffy embodies. With Laugh Tale I want it to be just the Straw Hats that reach it otherwise I feel it would cheapen the impact of it. After Laugh Tale have a small timeskip as Luffy gathers the grand fleet, revolutionaries and their various allies to storm the Red Line.
my guess is that all the arcs between now and laughtale will be like zou length, and elbaf and loadstar (if they go to those islands) will be 35-40 chapters, and i think laugh tale will be about whole cake island length

We then find out Im-sama is not the final bad guy, but rather Kaguya of the moon is the real final bad guy.
Then the only way for Luffy to beat her is for usopp to fire a magic arrow at her to temporarily take away all of her powers.
Then the story will end with Vegapunk trying to build a time machine to go back into the past and stop humanity from suffering the void century.

when taking that into consideration, and the fact that Elbaf has been relatively prominent throughout the story, I would be very surprised if the crew did not go there, even if only for a few chapters.

I just hope he does not Copy the ending of the animated series wickie (not the source material) where the vikings went to War to defend denmark and the series ended on that. Imagine One Piece ended at the final battle with the World government
we spent 20 years aiming for lodestar believing it was the final island where one piece was, it would suck if we didnt get to at least see it.
I just dont see how Oda can do Elbaf, Laugh Tale and Final War in 180 chapters, we get about 36 chapters a year so 5 years is only 180 chapters, surely thats not enough.
my dream final saga
1. Elbaf Arc - get the last road poneglyff
2. sphinx island arc - save whitebeards island from weevil
3. lodestar arc - luffy gives shanks back the straw hat but obviously wind sup keeping it
4. laugh tale arc - luffy vs. blackbeard for the one piece, void century reveal
5. final war arc - final battle against akainu, cp-0, marines, gorosei, imu
6. epilogue arc - where are teh straw hats in the next chapters of their lives
final two pages are the sunny sailing into the sunset with luffy yelling "onto the next adventure"
the sunset signalling that the dawn of this adventure we've been following has come to its end.
From romance dawn to romance dusk perhaps?

And the sunny begins to sail away to one final chorus of "We Are!" While doing a flashback of all the most memorable scenes from the entire series ending with a final end credit scene of usopp finishing telling the story of his grand adventures as a brave warrior of the sea
@@devinleong8126 perhaps to his children with Kaya and they don’t believe him one bit.
I like to think that the actual fight between Garp, rocks and Roger destroyed God valley, like their clashes were splitting the island, and rocks as a devil fruit user drowned while Garp and Roger just swam back up
I think laugh tale will have a piece of meat that regrows when u take a bite
😂
I think Laugh Tale is going to be less then 20 chapters. Then the war is going to start at the homeland of the Celestial Dragons
Ever heard of Toriko?
@@b.r.onepiece1018 a war over the immortal piece of meet
@@Koscacio exactly what i thought 💀
There is almost a 100% chance we will visit Ace and Whitebeards graves in this final section
Serves 2 purposes, give Luffy a chance to honor his brother and give Yamato closure on Ace, the one she originally made the promise with
luffy already honored ace when he revisited marineford and dropped flowers into the crevasse.
The problem is A. Unless ive missed something we don't know What's going to happen with Yamato yet this might be the only arc she is a major player in B. It wouldn't since for luffy to take his ship and make a beeline trip hundreds if not thousands of nautical miles to visit the graves. So its more like a 25% chance of a cover story of Yamato visiting the graves and .5% chance of theme going to it in the manga
10:00 Roger didn't know of anyone that had travelled to Lodestar but him, that by itself shows that is going to have relevance. If not they would just have said that it was a skippable island.
Lodestar is definitely a stepping stone to get to Laughtale.
I feel like there is still a lot to happen in one piece before the end, I'm more with the group that's interpreting his words as a final saga because packing elbaf, laugh tale and the final war in a single arc would just be too much, and jumping directly into laugh tale would feel like rushing things
Nah, Mihawk killed all the world noble's and is eating shanks leg as we speak turns out he's a vampire and the main villain.
@@sosa8700 😱 what a theory
@@wildyit I'm just joking but was just using as a example anything could happen heck they could bring back Whitebeard as a zombie.
From what we know Oda said only the juicyest Part will be over after that.
So im sure "One Piece" ends whit Laughtail. And something happened after for the war. Maybe a Canon Movie, Two Piece, or a long Ark after that.
@@Sunaki1000 The war is started by finding one piece, white beard literally said so at his death.
I think elbaf is the next arc after wano. Then we will probably get into the last arc or arcs. I think shank's crew, mihawk and some others are gonna be in elbaf
Shank's ship on Viking culture. Giants are a big part of Viking mith so it makes sense. Alternatively if Shanks is based on the founder of Greenland it could be a Usop/Buggy situation with Shank's being the guardian of the final island, but the island itself is a huge scam.
Idk if I’m slow or if this means anything but I just realized elbaf spelled backwards is fable
Don’t know why some people are thinking that there’s literally one arc left with the insane amount of buildup and questions we need answers to throughout this 25 year long story
People just gotta accept that you can't fix retardation of that magnitude.
oda doesnt care anymore about answering stuff, look at wano
@@RRRRR15 what about Wano proves that?
A saga would be more fitting.
each yonko that is an enemy or hurdle for the straw hats seems to be obsessed with something essential to the one piece and the void century. Big mom is obsessed with every species and specifically extinct ones and giants above all else which are possibly important for the void century and history of the world in many ways. Kaido was obsessed with joy boy which is important for obvious reasons and he was essential to the information held on wano as well as our understanding of mythic zoans. He is essential to all of those things and us as readers learning about these parts of the story. And, finally Blackbeard who may or may not be connected to rocks thus god valley, but more importantly his obsession with devil fruits and being the only character with the power of multiple devil fruits. Which is crazy in and of itself but also important in the one piece world history and could be connected to maybe everything in the one piece world and the void century.
Versus the other yonko and the pirate king Roger who were more so obsessed and driven by more protagonist type things and general themes to be “good” rather than “bad/evil” characters . Whiteboard wanted family and lives by that desire and belief in his family of pirates till his death. Roger with freedom similar to luffy and adventure for the fun of it. And shanks which I’m not 100% on, but shanks seems obsessed with peace or balance so far as well as fun and adventure like Roger and luffy, but more driven by peacemaking and being like the referee so far.
This seems mostly true to me and could be another aspect or layer Oda thought of while writing these characters and there importance to one piece, Let me know what y’all think
Laugh Tale should be look like Dr. Hiluluk mentioned about the wonderland where cherry blossom blooms. It should be very rocky and stage like where Davy Jones set his first Davy Back Fight. Also it has Mythical Force with all devil fruit power came from.
Perhaps thats where the treasure tree adam is if its not on Elbaf
I like it if its mostly a classic Pirate island, but whit some ancient ruins to spice up the sight.
@@mokaljordan I've seen someone else bring this up, but that leads to a pretty big issue: Roger was stated to be the first person to get to Laugh Tale in centuries, but people go there to get wood sometimes. How could both be true?
@@calliopeshif7581 yea good point welp, there goes that theory😁 im starting to think that oda scrapped the idea of the treasure tree adam cuz im at a lost where it can be and how it can be sold on the black market nor do i think it will be addressed in the final saga
My thought are
Elbaf- 40ish chapters 1 year
Laughtale- 70chapters 2 years
Throne Wars- 130 Chapters 3.5 years
Epilogue- 30 chapter 1 year
One piece ends in approx. early 2030
Epilogue too long
Epilogue prob 5-10 chapters
I think the straw hats should go to god valley and lodestar
You are consistently my favorite anime and manga content creator on UA-cam or anywhere. Thanks for all the great content!
bro tekking you're the biggest chad i have ever seen you pump put videos every single day even if you have plans since today is op dnd and yesterday was isekai dnd you deserve the vacation that you're going on man
My best idea for what the One Piece is, is something that's been right in front of our faces for decades but just altered to fit the themes: my idea is the One Piece is a Poneglyph but polished to mirror-like levels, so when both Roger's crew and Luffy's crew look at it, they see a reflection of themselves and start laughing. Basically poneglyphs are one of the few things that could have lasted for 800 years, and on the other sides could be inscriptions which explain the void century maybe. But the main side, the side you would see first, is a reflection of yourself. It makes you think about what type of person you are, but also to reflect on the long journey to get here. And, to appreciate your friends as the real treasure.
All in one final poneglyph, the One Piece.
I haven't seen this theory anywhere else and I came up with it after thinking about what possibilities could be the most thematically impactful. So if you like it and think it could be true, feel free to share it but please credit me. Andrew Espinoza, or "This Week in Anime" my channel on UA-cam
It can be that in that its a special poneglyph that tests the ppl in its presence but it has to be more than that based on Whitebeards final speech, finding the one piece is going to lead a world war of some sorts against the marines, my guess was that its one huge or multiple rio and instructional poneglyphs that says bring nika and or bring nika and poseidon,uranus amd pluton as well as tell of the first joyboys journey while sealing something else in poneglyph to take out the celestial dragons and imu
So Luffy is the Dragon Warrior?
6:50 I can't believe I haven't thought of this before, it literally reminds me of some video games where you beat the final boss and finish the game but you didn't get the true ending, because you didn't get a certain item or talk to an npc that unlocks a special sidequest
I think how they could break up the war itself to stop readers from getting fatigued, is to have it take place over multiple island battles.
It might be interesting to see a medium sized ship battle as well, just really digging into the PotC vibe for a bit.
I haven't been a big fan throughout the years but the Iguana Facts is too good, keep them coming lolol
I look forward to every tekking video everyday
Great point about the length of Wano. I feel it's optimistic to think OP will be over in 4-5 years. My guess is 5.5-6 years. And another year and a half for anime. Just wild speculation on my part
When Oda finishes his story he will step down and let someone else take over his story and bring in the next generation or something like that
They will definitely make One apiece movies well after the story is concluded.
Damn Tekking, you got me emotional talking about the memories we have made along the way.
I like to think the world government had reached loadstar but can’t find laughttale because you have to be with someone who has the voice of all things to know there is another island. In terms of pirates only Roger who actually found the one piece and luffy who will find the one piece have the voice of all things
Sanji reactions in chapter 1052 was priceless, and Yamato taking a bath with men was really hardcore.
What if Laugh Tale is actually a sky island (above Elbaf, connected by Yggdrasil) 😬, IMO it has to be because you'd imagine people would've stumbled across it a few times by now 🤔
DAMN BRO. After all these years and theories I've seen, this one seems the most interesting and cool. the idea that nobody has found it because 99% of people don't believe in sky Islands, and then the journey up the tree is so treacherous even the 1% can't get there but for extremely rare cases? I'll be satisfied with any explanation of Laugh Tale cause I trust Oda and know he won't fumble, but this one is so cool hahaha
My favorite intro so far! I love goofiness but symbolic goofiness is the best.
I literally just saw you last video. And I got surprised with this little gem. Thanks for the content tekking. I really appreciate it
Your explanation of the tree in Elbaf is exactly like the levels in impel down. Good point since oda mirrors arcs and war Arc will parallel this upcoming war
I'm amazed Matt didn't do a video on the ONE PIECE CARD GAME some people are already playing on UA-cam... it's got its first set and rulebook revealed and all
After One Piece I'll rewatch it every 2 - 3 years so I dont forget the extremely great masterpiece it is.
Luffy v.s Black beard is going to mirror Rodger and Xebecc which is to say its going to be Coby and Luffy vs Black beard
I like how you found a way to incorporate the fact that you now know the date when the story began.
It's a note saying "Zunesha ate the one piece lol. Wait for him to poop it out."
The joke setup to god valley would be a phenomenal way to start one of the movies
The ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
Tekking is the favorite fan of one piece I enjoy to watch . But it's videos like these that make me glad reacters like Tekk and Rogersbase aren't editors
What if Laugh Tale is just a random island that JoyBoy found one day and he kinda just forgot about it atill the day the 20 kingdoms made their move. So JoyBoy thinks back to this island he founded all these years ago and uses it to hide all his treasure and knowledge that he gathered through the years. This is probably the reason why the government doesn't just destroy Laugh Tale because they have no idea where it is. It's possible JoyBoy kept this island a secret ever from his own people.
I feel like this final saga will comprise of at least four major arcs and knowing Oda they won’t be short
Even if they are shorther than Wano, Dressrosa or WCI, people have to be prepared at the possibility more breaks like the one coming may happen. All because future OP movies and the netflix live action potentially having more seasons. The whole community theory that the story only has 3 years left is dumb imho.
atleasy *ONE* of them will probably be like 20-30 chapters and it's probably gonna be laughtale or lodestar.
@@dangeredspecies689 I´m of the opinion One Piece still has 150- 200 chapters left. Roughly 35 to 38 chapters come out a year, so that´s basically 5 to 6 years and a half.
In terms of arcs?
Elbaf (15-20 chapters)
Laughtale (30-60 chapters)
Final War (50 to 100 chapters)
Epilogue (5-10 chapters).
@@dangeredspecies689 Yeah because I’ll think they’ll be a information dump/final training/ forces gathering arc before the “Throne Wars”. And that will be pretty short imo.
@@nunobettencourt1429 I don’t want to be negative but I’m setting very low expectations for the live action show, it’s probably only going to get one season
Theirs so much information that needs to be discussed hopefully he’s able to bring it all together, and not forget about certain things he’s already brought up.
love the vids tekking
God damn iguana facts had me rolling. Idk about you, but I see one of them going 21mph, I'm gonna hide.
Tekking is the king of intros 😂
Tekking please a video on scars and injuries in one piece would make me a very happy camper
Is it just me, or has anyone else wanted Tekking to review One Piece games and their story and such? I don’t know, I just love this man’s content!
1052 was crazyyyyyy. I NEED THE BOUNTIES !! 😩 can’t wait for next week
The beginning of the end is finally upon us!!!!
Here's what I'd love to get before the end, but not sure I need it to be satisfied if Oda writes the story well.
Post-Oda break/wano/reverie/warolds update - 2-5 chapters
Elbaf (giants history, shanks, Usopp dream, final road poneglyph, Adam/eve tree, vegapunk, origin of DF's) - 20-30 chapters
End of Grand Line/journey to Laughtale, lodestar, more world events- 2-5 chapters
Laughtale arc (clash with Blackbeard crew, Joyboy/void century flashback, maybe rocks/god valley/WG flashback) - 60-100 chapters
Post-laughtale/new king of the pirates/destruction of redline?/Return to East Blue/paradise arc to reunite with allies/Brook, Sanji, Nami, Robin, Franky dream completed? - 5-10 chapters
Final battle vs WG/Imu - ~50 chapters
Epilogue ~ 3-5 chapters.
Damn, One Piece has been nearly 20 years in my life, and was there with me at almost every milestone in my life, it hits different to read “final saga” with this one.
Im so glad we’re. Just got a film red poster straight from japan today and im so hype
19:32 "You have to follow this path or whatever its really treacherous or whatever" 😂
As someone really into the Norse mythos (Literally have a whole sleeve dedicated to it) and who's fav anime is OP I NEED the Elbaf Ark.
Have you read Vinland saga yet?
@@Xenon-yx8lb I started a few days ago after hearing Tekking actually mention it a few times in his Elbaf videos. About half though series thus far. It's great.
We love you Tekking
The one piece will be a box full of papers and dvds with all the Shanks moments we never got. Dude got less than an hour of screentime in 25 years.
If we're spitballing ideas, i demand at least one davy back fight for the last poneglyph. Maybe it's against shanks or maybe he's officiating the one between blackbeard and luffy
I'm just imagining after all his scheming and building up his pirate empire, Blackbeard just agreeing to essentially Pirate Olympics and there never being an actual serious fight between the BB pirates and the Strawhats lmao
@@wisewolfds i imagine it as the blackbeard's wanting to start something serious, but as soon as they get their guns out or whatever, shanks gets out The Look. Because, really? Are you really gonna say no to shanks when he wants his silly fun pirate games? Do you really wanna be the guy to piss him off?
Love the video and keep up the great work tekking
A bronze statue of a monkey deity mooning the moon. That is the one piece. If I spent the majority of my life looking for this thing and find it to be a monkey mooning the moon, I would laugh too
every youtubers into: Hey guys! Welcome back to another video!
Tekking intros: *talks about a blank sheet of paper*
23:00 Laugh Tale kinda has to include the Roger flashback, and that might be as long if not longer than Oden's, though. Don't see "a couple dozen" chapter being enough for all of that.
I think we probably have another 5-6 years we are definitely in for a wild ride for the end, I look forward to enjoying it with this community.
I think the One Piece is a Deez Nutz joke
,,Can you swallow deez nutz in one piece?"
I like to think of it like Samurai Jack.
Think what you will of the ending, say it was rushed or how Aku should’ve been harder to kill, say it was amazing and the final scenes made you bawl your eyes out, but regardless of which you chose, just remember the journey to. Remember why you watched the story to begin with. And remember that journey of watching it you personally went on, good and bad.
13:09 I had that thought too, Zoro accidentally finding Laugh Tale would be poetic 😂
I swear the talk about lodestar got me thinking of this series called “Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town.” As if lodestar has people that believe they are normal but are crazily overpowered compared to the average person anywhere else. Like for example what if everyone is lodestar had devil fruit powers and that was normal for them.
Not likely but a fun little what if regardless.
Or if everyone has advanced haki(obv and arm)
IIRC Roger talked of Lodestar as if he was one of, if not the first person, to travel there, so I'd assume it was uninhabited otherwise Roger would have no reason to make that claim.
Oh my God. What if Zoro's lack of direction is actually pulling him towards a certain location? He didn't have issue with direction til the grand line and maybe his inner compass is pulling him towards Laughtale or God Valley?
That's so ridiculous I hope its true.
With the place we are at right now with Wano, I have a bit of a hard time believing that we are physically leaving it within 2 chapters, so I started wondering if we might be done with the Wano "arc" (as the main Kaido/Orochi threat is wrapped up) but not with Wano itself.
And the way I could actually see this happen is by the last "saga" or whatever we might call it starting of with an arc similar to Reverie that cuts away from the Strawhats for a while, focusing on world events and then going back to them picking up last mysteries and clues on Wano on their upcoming Laugh Tale journey.
As for stuff we need to cover in the story:
1 - Elbaf
2 - Lodestar
3 - Meeting Shanks and his crew
4 - Luffy meets his dad
5 - What happened at Reverie
6 - Assaulting the Marines/Tenryubito
7 - Eneru coming back/going to the moon
8 - I want a comeback of Crocodile, Das Bones and, this is a personal hope, them having recruited Captain Kuro to their organization
9 - Reuniting Brook with Laboon
10 - I want more of Katakuri
4, 5 and 6 can all be wrapped up together into a single arc I guess, during which the Red Line is destroyed, along with Fishman Island, so the All Blue happens.
3 will likely be roped with the actual Laugh Tale arc where they fight Black Beard's crew.
I very much don't think that the story will end very soon. That 5 year completion time frame is more likely.
Pretty sure Oda will release the last chapter exactly 30 years after chapter 1. He's a wizard with that stuff.
For example, chapter 231, may 27th 2002 finish with Luffy saying "I'll be back before dawn"
20 years later, chapter 1050, may 30th 2022, the red scabbards came back before dawn, like the prophecy foretold.
Just ignore the 3 days difference given the jump release schedule
Schäuble ja
This is a gear 5 level stretch
I always imagined that Loadstar would be similar to Loguetown in that it is a quick stop before a bigger adventure.
another 1000 chapters after Lodestar Island
Tekling, in case you do opossums for O, you need to look up 'And He Scream At Own Ass song'. It's is a work of high art.
It would be interesting if we learn about Loadstar not from the strawhats perspective, but from 1 of the supernovas. For example 1 or 2 chapters showing Urouge arriving at Loadstar and finding about the road poneglyphs
Would be cool if he left to become a pirate because he could also read the writing, and seeing Rogers name and learning of him drove Urouge to the sea.
I love the time travel theory so much even though there is very little evidence for it. Luffy is not Joy Boy but Joy Boy is Luffy. Like after finding the one piece, Luffy will go to the void century in the past to free the people. This will address the most complaint aspect of Luffy being the chosen one not because of luck or destiny but because he is literally the one who people think he is chosen of. This will also actually show us the history of the world instead of telling or the crew reading it from a poneglyph.
so blackbeard creates a black hole and both are sent back in time
Do you mean Luffy going back in time to change the reality? Bc the problem I see here is that the original JoyBoy failed. He failed to set the world free. So in this idea, the JoyBoy figure is actually Luffy who traveled back in time, and... Lost. That would leave us stuck In a loop where the world is never freed, right?
If you do actually mean that Luffy goes back in time to change things and free everyone, then the current One Piece story wouldn't exist. Not trying to be mean, but yeah I don't understand how the time travel idea would actually work lol
@@calliopeshif7581 maybe he frees the world and after that he travels back in time to fail again or to set up everything, so it can happen again. That would meen that the past can't be changed and everything happens like it always happend
While I don't think that OP will end in few month, what I'm hyped/worried about is that we might start geting those hype closure moments like Luffy returing the hat to Shanks, Zoro vs Mihawk, Sanji finding all blue, all 3 ancient weapons in action,... quite soon, because I believe all of them need their time to shine in the manga.
Also, what I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention is that we need massive, and I mean MASSIVE, flashback centered around Joyboy, Im, the 5 elder stars and the void century.
I've thought about what they could do with shanks , and this is my take :
Luffy wants to get last poneglyph , and goes to lodestar island to get it.
They meet shanks there , re uniting stuff , and shanks reveals his secrets.
He finds out that last poneglyph is on elbaf
BB arrives , fights shanks
It would be symbolic , since lodestar is the last island that you can get to without poneglyphs , and shanks' sword is named griffin ( griffins are usually keepers in folklore)
mugiwaras flee to elbaf while shanks is holding BB back , they explore the island and try to find the poneglyph
I don't think they're going to visit God Valley, but I do think we will see more about it through a flashback about the Rocks Pirates. We haven't seen anything within the Calm Belts, either, so maybe there's an island or something within the Calm Belts that the Straw Hats might need to travel to. Plus, they have to traverse Reverse Mountain again to see Laboon.
I do agree the Straw Hats will get the One Piece before the Throne Wars starts.
And of course, still waiting on the Revolutionary Army to really get a chance to shine...
I started watching One Piece because of your conversations about it, I’m 560 episodes deep and I love it, but I am excited for the upcoming Bleach Videos. Durning the month break, could you make a video(s) on the upcoming bleach final arc, because I’m excited to see it and hear your thoughts over it!
29:40 Tekking 😂😂, i like your dedication ❤❤
And really one of the interesting channels, thanks for the video, I can't wait for the last saga and the arch and the end of the story to see all the secrets. Such ideas give hope that there will be more writers who can come up as Oda -Sensei :D
Thank you for a great video guys
Lodestar could be the place Luffy finally meets up with Shanks. Would make for quite an interesting arc too. I would obviously be more than okay with that being wrong and Luffy meeting him elsewhere too. Just figured it would poetic of sorts.
Man I have really ben following one peice for 25 years. I started in August 97. At one point I wondered if if I would follow it to completion. Gonna be bitter sweet watching it end. I've gotten so many ppl into the community. This is crazy
One thing I would like Oda to do is make a stampede-style movie where it would be the final battle/end of one piece.
So we would have the full one piece experience, with the music, animation..., imagine how epic it was going to be.
So now that we have a break coming up. I recently reread skypea and noticed again how insane viper was. Probably the only character that luffy met who matched him in willpower and determination. U should rly make a video about him.
There was a video i watched called "the new world was forshadowed from chapter 1" where almost everything from east blue saga was a mini version of the new world, id recommended watching it, or a live reaction to the video, its its really god, then someone in the comment section said the first half of the granline forshaows this final arc. From little garden mirroring elbaf, enies lobby water 7 mirroring the final war,
Morj I think
Daring and dashing, I dare say that's Me!
Yarrgh I be a pirate, matey!
Tekking spittin' bars tonight
I believe it was called a saga, at least in the translation i read, and that usually means 3 "arcs" so likely 3 islands or locations.
Likely
1. Elbaf
2. Laugh Tale
3. Mariejois
Elbaf will have shanks likely now that luffy is a true yonkou and they may fight to prove he's a great pirate, maybe Loki or Odin will be an antagonist.
Laugh Tale will likely deal with Blackbeard
and Mariejois will be Im and the marines.
The word was ambiguous so the translation is not unequivocal, that's why there's discussion.
Lodestar is definitely a stepping stone to get to Laughtale, Roger said that they were the only people he knew that got there. If it's a random irrelevant island there's no reason to say it.
Elbaf might be short, could be just a guiding path. Luffy is the Sun God who the giants worship, they are friends with Broggy and Dorry, Harudin. The giants on Enies Lobby. Usopp is obsessed. There doesn't seem like this place will provide conflict but will be a place that is essential for moving forward/ backstory.
Realistically we have 6 arcs left (Post Wano, Elbaf, Lodestar, Laugh Tale, Final War, Epilogue) probably around 200-300 chapters so we have anywhere from 4-6 years
Sorry if this has already been mentioned but the word Oda used was 章(shou) in Japanese which means book. Based on what I’ve seen the typical term for “arc” when it pertains to a manga is 編(hen) so it’s unlikely he meant this announcement to be of the final arc of ONE PIECE. Final book or final saga would be a more appropriate translation here.
Here's my ridiculous Laugh Tale theory:
So we know that the island's location can be revealed by drawing straight lines between the coordinates given by the 4 Road Poneglyphs, right? Specifically, Laugh Tale is going to be where the two lines cross. But actually if you extend 2 lines on a globe, they're not going to cross in one, but TWO places. One's going to be where everyone expects the One Piece to be: Somewhere around the end of the New World. But what if the Straw Hats then travel to that point and find nothing but water? Well, a smart navigator like Nami may just remember about that second intersection on the exact opposite of the world, somewhere close to Sabaody Archipelago / Marineford.
At that point the Straw Hats could split up into two groups, one taking the road through Reverse Mountain and Paradise while the other travels the New World backwards. On their way the two groups would meet up with all the friends they made along their travels, a lot of which will join their final journey to Laugh Tale. When the two groups eventually reunite at the end of Paradise, a massive Straw Hat Grand Fleet will have amassed, ready to fight the Final War against Blackbeard and/or the World Government, who somehow discovered the One Piece's location at a similar time.
Probably through watching the straw hats find it tbh. Just like he waited for Luffy to start the impel down breakout. Just like he waited for marineford to come to it's ending before making his entrance
Blackbeard is good at piggybacking his victories off of other people’s work. Like how most of his territory used to belong to Whitebeard.

Hey tekking was just thinking about this when you said trees are important. The sunny is made from Adam Wood and since the themes have a lot to do with dark/light moon/sun I think that maybe the sunny may have a huge role to finding the one piece much like the merry had a huge role in saving the straw Hats. Moreover, the only ship to make it to laugh tale is Rogers which is also Adam Wood.
My guess is that Elbaf is next, and that it will be around 30-40 chapters; it might be where they’ll find the last Road Poneglyph. If they go to Lodestar, then it could serve as an even shorter transitionary arc moving on to Laugh Tale, which I could see being a 50-70 chapter arc if that’s where they end up confronting the Blackbeard Pirates. The Final War arc will probably come after Luffy learns about the Void Century and effectively becomes the Pirate King.
This is my prediction for the final saga:
One Piece: Pirate King Saga
- Mariejois Arc
- Elbaf Arc
- Lodestar Island Arc
- Raftel/ Laugh Tale Arc
- Final War Arc
I feel like the one piece at the end of the day is gonna be the embodiment of freedom for fans to enjoy the story at there own pace in there own medium and for Luffy to finally be "The free-est man on the sea" as hes loosely translated tocsaying
Here's an idea: for when you get few animal facts you could look up if there's a devil fruit from that animal or look anime versions of that animal (example: gecko facts: like 2 facts and the devil fruit of smiley or idk if there is a MHA gecko quirk)
Damn u tekking: 25:47 was so sappy i teared up 🤣
I see it going;
Elbaf and the last Poneglyph
Lodestar and/or the battle against Blackbeard
Laugh Tale
Mariejois and the war of D
Epilogue
I've always had trouble figuring out where Blackbeard fits into the story as both Im and Blackbeard would normally work as final antagonists however Im's tyranny has been built up a much greater threat to the freedom Luffy embodies. With Laugh Tale I want it to be just the Straw Hats that reach it otherwise I feel it would cheapen the impact of it. After Laugh Tale have a small timeskip as Luffy gathers the grand fleet, revolutionaries and their various allies to storm the Red Line.
The top places I thinks the Straw Hats need to go too are.
1: Elbaf.
2: Mary Geoise
3: Pirate Island
4: Vegepunk's laboratory.
5: Laugh tale
my guess is that all the arcs between now and laughtale will be like zou length, and elbaf and loadstar (if they go to those islands) will be 35-40 chapters, and i think laugh tale will be about whole cake island length
