This article contains spoilers from One Piece's Final Saga.
One Piece is currently in the Final Saga, and fans know very well that this is the most crucial part of the story, not just because Oda will answer the biggest questions here, but also because it is going to be incredibly difficult to nail. One of the biggest issues that authors face in general is giving the story a satisfactory conclusion.
One Piece: Oda Has Already Revealed The Strongest Pirate In The Final Saga
The strongest pirate in the Final Saga has been revealed, and it isn't Luffy from One Piece.
Often, a great story gets ruined by a bad conclusion, and naturally, given how long One Piece has continued for, fans are wondering what exactly Oda has in store for the end of the story. Oda finally started the final saga of One Piece around 3 years ago, and while the end is still far from sight, Oda has already revealed a big thing that he wants to accomplish in the upcoming part of the story.
Oda Wants The Final Saga To Give The Fans Goosebumps
- Oda Hopes For One Piece To Be Remembered Forever
- Oda's Goal Is To Create A Manga Like Dragon Ball
If there's one thing that Oda wants his manga to accomplish, it is to excite the young generation that is reading his story. Years ago, Oda used to sit and read Dragon Ball every week, and in his own words, it used to give him goosebumps. Now, decades later, One Piece has taken over Jump. In fact, Oda has already surpassed Dragon Ball in sales and popularity in Japan.
I consider Toriyama sensei a God! — Eiichiro Oda
His goal, however, is simply to create a manga that does for people what Dragon Ball did for him. Here's what Oda had to say about his goal with One Piece:
Just like Dragon Ball gave me goosebumps as a kid, I want One Piece to spark that same fire in today’s generation audience. I even keep a poster on my desk that reads, “Try to create an exciting manga!” — Eiichiro Oda, 1998
Oda Will Reveal All The Mysteries Of The World
The Final Saga Will Make Or Break One Piece
It goes without saying that One Piece has been an incredible success so far, but the most important stretch of the series has only just begun. Fans know that most stories, especially shonen manga, often struggle with landing a good ending. Naturally, every reader is worried about the end of One Piece too. However, fans need to relax, as Oda has already planned his ending before his manga even began.
Just bear with me for a while longer. I'm going to reveal all the biggest mysteries of the One Piece world! — Eiichiro Oda upon beginning the Final Saga
One Piece: Roronoa Zoro Could Be Dethroned As The No. 2 Of The Straw Hat Pirates
Zoro is strong, but he will soon be dethroned from his spot as the second strongest Straw Hat pirate.
According to Oda himself, when he started his manga, he already wanted to get to the Final Saga badly, because the most exciting part of his story is the last stretch. It took Oda decades to reach this point, but, at last, he's finally here, and that only means that he will go all guns blazing and deliver a run like never seen before. Here's what Oda had to say about the Final Saga of One Piece:
Oda: When I was a kid, I had this thought: "I wish I could draw a manga series in which the ending is the most exciting part! I wonder if I'll be up to it!!!". Now, we're almost done with the Wano Country Arc, and all the preparation work is ready. It took me 25 years to reach this point, hahaha. But it's still fine if you start reading from here... From now on, this will be ONE PIECE! I will draw all the mysteries left in this world that I have been hiding until now. It's going to be really interesting. Please fasten your seatbelts. Thank you so much, I hope you keep up with me a bit longer! — Eiichiro Oda
The Final Saga Is Already Phenomenal
With One Piece now in Elbaf, it goes without saying that fans have a good idea of what direction this segment of the story will take. Needless to say, it has been absolutely stunning so far, and it will only get better with time, as Oda has clearly been demonstrating week in week out.
