in the first half of the grandline: getting pointed to little garden, water-seven (which caused aokiji to activate cp9), the SKY, the bottom of the OCEAN second half of the grandline: luffy causing the sunny to go along the worst routes important to note that raftel is not necessarily at the absolute end of the grand line or dead center adjacent. there’s also god’s valley which sengoku claims conveniently vanished after the scandal there. this will probably end up being a fortuitous thing but it would be funny if they just run into complete disaster with little payoff | ||

If the path Luffy chose is South East then it means that he's not going to be making any progress going forward towards the end of the grand line. Seeing as how we're in the home stretch, I'd say something is going to interfere and force them to go another direction. It's either that or there's gonna be a series of montages to cover the next few islands which are essentially beginner zones while the Straw Hats are already at max level. Dude it doesn't matter. You're thinking too logically here. It's oda we're talking about. This guy will have zoro survive 43 admiral encounter. Just watch for the mysteries he laid out 10 years ago. | ||

The past few arcs dealt with the Yonko but they're gone now, so I guess it's either gonna be the marines or blackbeard. I suppose weevil might show up but can he really do anything against the Straw Hats at this point? If the straw hats go to some random island or to elbaf, it's gonna be an incredibly boring arc since there's no real conflict. That's why I'm leaning towards a montage or perhaps some off screen adventuring while we change focus for a little while to other characters like Buggy, Coby, Sabo, Vivi, etc... Hard disagree. The exploration is the fun part, battles get boring fast. After a 100 chapter "raid" I can do with 2-3 islands of pure adventure and world building. Plus, our crew are Yonkos now, shouldn't we get to see some goomba-stomping like the old east blue days and the return to Sabody arc? | ||

I too liked the east blue saga but it was a completely different manga back then. It was far more grounded and carefree. There was also no major overarching plot and the world was quiet and in equilibrium. Now, there's way too much shit going on right now in the OP world and plotwise for the Straw Hats to sit still. We're on the final arc of One Piece, there is literally no time left to waste. | ||

Did you not get the memo? https://www.dualshockers.com/eiichiro-oda-one-piece-end/ Oda wants to finish the series in 3 years. For reference, Wano was 4 years long. Even if his estimate gets blown up to 5 or 6 years, Oda can really only fit in 1.5 more Wanos and then the series is over. The only way you can fit in more "screwing around" time is if Oda goes back to writing 50 chapter arcs, which is highly unlikely given that One Piece arcs have only gotten longer over time. | ||

It's sad because he's rushing the ending rather than actually fleshing out all the mysteries and plots he laid out. Why did we even have to get so much chapters on characters running around and timeless time bombs? It almost seemed like Oda purposely did this because he wanted to procrastinate on this. It's like why should we get 50 chapters of bird cage when we can get 50 chapters of BB/SHANKS/Vegapunk in exchange? Like what's the point of that seriously? It just affects the manga and points out Oda as being a flawed mangaka. You can't deny you actually enjoy bird cage and Big mom's wedding cake to be 50 chapter worthy and a good replacement for what we could've gotten right? It's like saying I want my meal to be 90% brocolli and 10% steak. Why not 90% steak and 10% brocolli like everyone wants? | ||

I just realized this won't go anywhere and that the thread is only left with hardcore one piece folks. | ||

Seriously, 10 years? I think you people are forgetting that Luffy is now Yonko level. There is no one left for him to fight besides Blackbeard and Imu. He could also fight Akainu, but at this point it's looking like Sabo is going to be the one to take him out. I suppose Oda could start just adding new random villains like in DBZ, but that would just dilute the overarching story of the manga. Regardless of whether you like it or not, One Piece is ending soon. It's true that 3 years might be optimistic, but 10 years is way too much. I can really only 5 maximum if Oda really decides to take his time. | ||
