Golgo 13 is a long running seinen manga series by Takao Saito about an assassin named Duke Togo aka Golgo 13 whose job is to kill people.

But if the mangaka decides to retire maybe it could lead to a final storyarc and i think i know how it goes ,The final storyarc might be about golgo 13's final job and his death and there will be advertisements revolve around it in the Big comic magazine called 'The end of golgo 13' with taglines like "the end is near","death awaits","The last job of golgo 13 before the curtain falls" This series might end in a blaze of glory with Duke's death

The potential story will take place in the future where Duke is sitting in the bar alone drinking as he is getting old and gains a beard in his face ,He is also semi retired and he believed his end is near because he has cancer ,Then a client walks by and ask DUke for one more job about a potential target but he declined saying that he is old and advise him to get someone else but then the client tells him the target hired a younger assassin to act as his bodyguard.Believing that there is another assassin who has similar skills like his and is considered as a final challenge duke accepts his clients offer and considered it as his last job before he will fully retire.

Next day Duke has found his target and his younger rival guarding him so he decided to make a skillful assassination technique to kill the bodyguards first and after he killed the bodyguards he killed his target and with that his final job is complete but then suddenly the younger assassin appeared and turns out he survived golgos assassination attack because he knows every assassination techniques made by Duke Togo himself and admits that he idolize him.

Duke was impressed but says that there is not enough room for both assassins and one of them has to die so they decided to do a duel instead the younger assassin agreed.

So he and the younger assassin look face to face and prepare to draw their weapons for a final standoff and as they both draw their guns duke shoots him dead thus winning the duel he then went to his opponents dead corpse and told him that he is good but not "good enough" because he tells him that his bullet only hit the right side of his chest and is about to lose his blood ,Even his cancer is about to succumb him anyway which gives him few minutes to live.

So he went to his car and drive off to some lonely place to die peacefully as he drives off to a different location we are treated to few panels showing every moment of golgos 13's cases over the years including every women he seduces as if Duke's life flashes before his eyes and as he finally reached to his unknown destination he slowly walked to a corner and lay himself down,take one last look at the sunset outside and slowly begins to smile believing to himself that he lived a good life before he passed away and the final double splash page shows Duke's corpse laying down in peace as if he finally earns his rest after too many cases and a sign on the left saying Golgo 13 -糸 (END)

Fun fact: the various Duke Togo origin stories that Saitou Takao made ages ago were also intended to be possible epilogues for Golgo 13.

@Damnits
Unfortunately I can't because the chapters themselves aren't fan translated and the author's/readers' best selected work compiled books aren't licensed in English nor scanned.

The stories about Duke Togo's origins that I've read are ''Belong to the People'' (author's selection volume 1), ''Mao Zedong's Last Will and Testament'' (readers' selection volume 2), ''The Muder of Serizawa's'' (readers' selection volume 3) and ''Azuma Kensaku, the Japanese'' (readers' selection volume 3).
