Weekly, One Piece are in the headlines, and usually for the right reasons. This time, One Piece reached another milestone, and the official social media accounts wasted no time in acknowledging it.
According to a new post, One Piece has officially reached 10,000 days of serialization. The manga began serialization on July 22, 1997, and it reached the 10,000-day mark on December 7, 2024. For 10,000 days, Eiichiro Oda has averaged a chapter every 8.8 days. This shows how serious the One Piece author is about his craft. Most mangaka choose a less hectic schedule and try to reduce their workload so that it does not affect their health.

Eiichiro Oda is in a league of his own
- Oda's health has declined
- Kazuki Yao has stepped down from his role
In 2024, One Piece fans received many scares due to Oda's health. The One Piece author was forced to take breaks due to his poor health. In November, he went on a two-week break when his health suddenly deteriorated. Naturally, fans were worried about Oda, and many of them strongly believed that he should take a longer break from drawing manga.
However, the One Piece author has not yet put down his pen. Earlier, Oda made it clear that he doesn't want to take breaks because fans are always waiting for new One Piece chapters. This shows that Eiichiro Oda is very different from other writers. He is willing to put his audience's happiness above his own health.
There was another big update related to one of the main voice actors in the anime. It was confirmed that Kazuki Yao, the voice actor of Franky, would be stepping down from his role. This announcement came as a shock to fans, as they couldn't believe that he would leave One Piece before the anime ended. While this is indeed sad, the staff has already lined up a replacement, which will be revealed at Jump Festa.
Jump Festa can be big for One Piece Fans
Jump Festa will also have information about other upcoming One Piece projects such as movies and video games. The last One Piece movie was released in 2022 and it received a lot of praise from the audience. So it makes perfect sense for Oda and his staff to announce yet another film.
There is also a lot of speculation that the upcoming Jump Festa will have a panel dedicated to the One Piece remake by Wit Studio. Earlier this year, the studio revealed new character designs for the Straw Hat Pirates. Wit Studio did not reveal a release date for the remake, but that may change in the coming weeks.
One Piece is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
