In Final Saga, I will draw everything, the mysteries of the world! — Eiichiro Oda, after the end of Wano
This war is coming, and it is only a matter of time before it strikes. Oda has already spoken about it, and according to him, this war, which will eventually come finish One Piecewill end the story. Here's what Oda had to say about it:
When I was a kid, I had this vision: “I wish I could draw a manga series where the finale is its highest peak! I wonder if I can do it!!!”. Now we're almost done with the Wano Country Arc, and all the prep work is done. 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 hidden until now. It will be really interesting. Please fasten your seat belts. Thank you so much, I hope you stick with me a little longer!
Marineford will be small compared to the Great War
One Piece's biggest war is coming
While Oda has already hyped the great war in the best possible way, he's already given fans something to measure it against, and that's the Marineford War. According to many, Marineford is One Piece's best arc, while many others think it's Water 7, or Wano. Anyway, all of these arcs are great, but according to Oda, Marineford in particular will be nothing in comparison.
The final saga will be so amazing it will make the Marineford arc look like nothing. The Marineford arc was just a detour for me. I didn't expect it to be so popular. — Eiichiro Oda, 2012
It's only a matter of time before One Piece's best arc begins, and fans absolutely can't wait to see what Oda has to deliver when it does. For now, all fans can do is sit back patiently and watch Elbaf's events slowly unfold.
