So is it confirmed this is the final arc? The last stretch before the One Piece is found?

 

[Symbiote]

Yes this is the last arc.

 

[Papasmurf]

How will Oda wrap everything up without rushing if he wants to end it within 3 years? That's more or less 2~2.5 years worth of chapters given OP's hiatuses and they still have the entire WG/Im and two Yonkos to get through lol.

 

[Symbiote]

Now that I think about it that message he made at the end of Wano before the one month break might has said last saga so that’ll be more than one arc.

 

[Papasmurf]

Well yeah but it'll still be one large segment most likely, similar to how Drum Island + Little Garden + Alabasta make up the Alabasta/Baroque Works saga and Jaya + Skypiea make up the Skypiea saga.

 

[sei'taer]

It's the final saga, which does mean years.

Also he's not fucked around one chapter since the one month break. Like I can't think of a string of one piece chapters this loaded in forever.

 

[Papasmurf]

Was the Wano saga any good? Seems like a lot of people jumped ship during it

 

[sei'taer]

I'll stand by liking wano all the way up until the last segment of the Luffy vs Kaido. How that fight wraps up isn't enough to sully my enjoyment of the arc otherwise.

 

[Papasmurf]

Was Yamato not joining that much of a disappointment? I heard people really hated that.

 

[Symbiote]

Yamato, Momo and Kinemon have the opportunity to join them at sea whenever they want. They have things they want to do before they go so they’re basically like Vivi.

 

[Papasmurf]

So it seems Ivankov might be dead.

 

[sei'taer]

Was Yamato not joining that much of a disappointment? I heard people really hated that.

People hated it because she said she was going out to see with them a lot of the arc, said it still once the arc was over and then the very next chapter stayed in wano.

It was a huge bait and switch.

So it seems Ivankov might be dead.

I doubt it's the same fruit, the logistics of where the characters are don't make sense for them to have stolen it after we saw ivankov last.

 

[Papasmurf]

Most similar fruits don't have the exact same powers though, unless Oda made a parody fruit of genderbender hentai manga plots.

 

[sei'taer]

They're just in vastly different areas of the world at present.

 

[Papasmurf]

Pretty stupid that entirely different fruits have the same power then, but at least it's nice to know Ivankov can't just mess with Shanks or Kaido by turning them into females or something. I wonder if Crocodile (provided the sex change theory is true) can revert to his original form after all this time.

 

[Yoshi]

I just hope Elbaf is at least a Story Arc in the Final Saga and that it spans around 120 Volumes.

 

[Symbiote]

The female disease or whatever it was called was a bullshit way to add gender swap fan service and a shit attempt at a gag. He could have gone with literally anything else but chose that.

Nice to see Law's crew actually do something. Still pretty laughable that they have been treated like fodder until now, yet here they are taking on Blackbeard's commanders.

That was released in 2016 lol.

The implication is that they're only effective because they're fighting in water and Black Beards crew is all fruit users.
