One Piece began as a book in July of 1997 , and received its anime adaptation in October of 1999 . It is surprising to see the scale of the One Piece fanbase given the length of the work, One Piece impresses by having millions of fans despite the fact that a 20th year has passed, the anime and its merch 🧸 are massively consumed across the world.
One Piece manga creator Eiichiro Oda said in an interview in September 2019 that there are only 5 years left until One Piece ends.
With such a long work, we completely understand that fans want to know when the end of this beautiful adventure will arrive. Since Oda communicates very little on this subject, the only point of reference for fans are the various theories and speculations that can be found everywhere on the internet. And today we are going to answer the question that many non-fans curious to see someone close to them following Eichiiro Oda's work for so many years ask themselves: " did One Piece end?" ? "🧐.
When will One Piece end?
Eiichiro Oda, the Mangaka behind One Piece, declared with his own mouth to a famous Japanese video maker 🎥 that readers would soon witness the end of the adventures of Luffy and his crew . In addition, Oda also stipulated that the end would come within 5 years .
It was a shock for the readers of the Manga in view of everything that remains to be completed within the work and also, because they did not think of having after all these years finally an idea of the time that remained before the end of One Piece . To say, there are even people who did not believe in this statement, others thought it was a marketing stunt on the part of the author. It's true that a franchise with almost 1000 scans 📕, almost 950 episodes 🎥 and soon 15 films 🎞, it's hard to hear about an end to One Piece.
Will One Piece have an ending?
Yes and still happy! Naito , the editor-in-chief of One Piece told us a little more about it. He also in an interview, during the year 2019, that even if he thought that there was too much content left to close in One Piece, Oda seems certain to finish the manga in this period , Naito therefore considers it likely that Oda rushes this end and closes everything within the 5 year time limit.Naito, One Piece Editor-in-Chief
We can therefore understand that it is likely that Eiichiro Oda will end his manga in the next 5 years, given that these statements date from the end of 2019, we should see the end of One Piece at the end of the year 2024 . So we can more or less answer the question of when will One Piece end.
However, we must not forget that this 5 year count is valid for the paper manga, the anime being well behind on the chapters 🕰. The last chapter published to readers is 979, while the episode format currently stops at 929. People following the anime will therefore still have their dose of One Piece for more than 5 years , even if the manga were to end on the date planned by Oda.
It's hard to imagine the work ending so soon given all the mysteries that Oda still has to elucidate in the eyes of fans 🔎.
Let's not forget that in 2010, the author told us that he would finish his work in just 10 years . Currently in 2020, we are told that it is another 5 years of madness. In the mouth of Eiichiro Oda 1 year counts triple in our world 😂.
How long until One Piece ends?
Fans racked their brains in order to calculate the number of volumes that we had left to discover. It turns out that the most plausible theory is that there remains 1 short arc and 1 long arc once the end of Wano comes .
These same fans made an estimate that if the manga did indeed end on the scheduled date there would be around 1150 scans , not counting the usual delays and breaks that Oda takes. In addition, unforeseeable events such as the current Covid-19 pandemic 😷 may delay the completion of the work.
Recent announcements on One Piece reveal that Oda and the publishers would like to finish the manga with a number exceeding 100 volumes . 
Others are afraid seeing the turn of the expansive world of One Piece, it is impossible for the author not to rush things in order to complete the story, finishing it in such a short period of time could be synonymous with a possible botch . The current arc, the other two after it calculated by fans and all the unresolved mysteries that the work presents must be cleared up to give the manga the ending it deserves.
However, let us continue to trust Eiichiro Oda , he has never been disappointing, over a period as long as that of One Piece, and I dare to believe and hope that whatever happens, the ending will not be poorly written and will provide satisfaction to fans of the work.
Where is One Piece?
After talking about when the manga will end, let's talk a little about the current situation of One Piece " WARNING SPOILERS ",
At the time of writing this blog article, we are experiencing a turnaround in the situation that many fans had anticipated regarding X-Drake's real intentions,
The last page of One Piece chapter 990 shows Drake asking Luffy to let him fight alongside them , which then surprises the Straw Hat Captain 🏴☠️.
How does the ending of One Piece end?
We see that the manga and the anime are far from an ending and at present we have several probable information on the ending.
To begin with, there are things that we cannot ignore to hope for a good ending to One Piece. We find the fact that Zoro must face Mihawk again, and defeat him this time , but also that Shanks must still find Luffy . And we suspect that Teach, who has been sidelined for a long period since the 2-year jump, will return to the forefront to give what will certainly be one if not the biggest fight of the Luffy's crew ⚔ . 
We suspect that the Mugiwaras will find One Piece and thus discover what happened in the past, which will undoubtedly give rise to an unprecedented war. We do not yet know which character will be involved in this battle given the extent of the range of existing characters, and we are still seeing some introduce themselves into the plot. We are also not safe from a world war bringing the most powerful crews and the world government face to face .
At the moment, based on what One Piece reveals to us, we cannot predict anything more about the continuation of the major events of the manga. It is only with the progress of the chapters over the coming months and years that we will see this more and more clearly 🧐.
Is One Piece over?
So the answer is simple: no, the manga in progress, we can however say with more or less certainty that the plot is almost 70% complete . One Piece will indeed end one day, let's prepare ourselves for what will be a great moment of nostalgia in our eyes 😭.
Will Luffy die?
We cannot say so, but we are aware that the characters who inherit the will of the D. are destined for a life full of twists and turns .
