During a statement to fans from July 2022 — in which series creator Eiichiro Oda discussed the immensity of the last arc in “One Piece” — Oda admitted that he has been dreaming of this arc ever since he was a kid. He even claimed that it was always his goal to make the final part of his manga the most electric part of the entire story (via ScotchInformer on Twitter).
“”When I was a kid, I thought to myself, ‘Man I would love to draw a manga with the most hyped final stage!” Oda wrote. “Now, we have only a tiny bit of Wano Arc left. The preparations are almost done. Took me 25 years.” Oda’s promise that this final state of “One Piece” will be the most exciting aspect of the entire manga is quite the claim, especially when one considers the decades’ worth of content that came before this final arc.

Oda went on to encourage anybody who hasn’t given the series a try to pick it up for the final arc, saying, “From this point on, it’ll be (the) One Piece! The mysteries of this world, I’ll be drawing all of them! It’ll be super interesting!” Although it’s obvious that Oda did not have all of the finer details of the series ironed out as a child and has made several major changes to this plan – like when it was supposed to originally end — as an adult, it’s clear that he’s always intended for this final arc to be the highlight of the series and a worthwhile conclusion to the enormous saga that is “One Piece.”
