| So i came across an article on Kotaku that was quite interesting for fans of one piece. According with Japanese radio show Gold Rush (via Get News and One Piece Podcast), the manga’s editor, Suguru Sugita, talked about what it was like working with One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda. Read the rest of the news Article here: http://kotaku.com/one-piece-isnt-close-to-finishing-1719451493 This is quite intersting in it self, for years we been speculating just how close one piece is along. Well now we finally have a margin set in place, it is in fact over 70% completed and the author apparently knows full well what the ending is going to be like. It seems like he really has everything planned out for this manga. Well now i won't have to worry bout watching one piece till im like 40 years old. |

| I don't think it was ever in doubt that Oda knew how he was going to end it. Still, I believe it is 70% drawn, but not all that content has been released yet. |

| Then why the hell does Oda keep taking a break every other week? |

| around 70% - around 80 volumes so it'll end at volume 110 or so about 10 more years so XD |
 |
| I don't think you can say he had everything planned out the ending possible but definitely not everything since the series was suppose to end a long time ago. I will take this percentage with a grain of salt, if oda feels like it he can make it go even longer, one piece is one of those series that can really go on forever. But its good that he has an idea on how long he plans the series to go on for, just hopefully this is set in stone and he doesn't change his mind. Still how long would 30% take? 10 more years maybe? |

| 30% doesn't seem like that much considering how much of the story is left to go. |
 |
| The article never said One Piece is 70% completed. “He told me that the first part of the story, the part prior to the time-skip, was around halfway through. That was about 60 volumes, so maybe we’re at 70%? I don’t think it’s at 80% yet. Something like that.” All that this article confirmed is that the timeskip is a rough indicator of the 50% mark. Pre-timeskip OP was 60 volumes. If that is truly an indicator of the halfway mark, then simple math tells you One Piece will last around 120ish volumes. So let's just say the 120 volume mark is somewhat accurate - The manga is on volume 77 right now. That is roughly 64% of 120. |

You people shouldn't take thi stuff too seriously. RedRoseFring said: It was, and still is, Oda originally thought OP would be 5 years long afterall.I don't think it was ever in doubt that Oda knew how he was going to end it. |

| The manga is already technicaly done. We are in filler purgatory now. Oda obviously has no clue what is gonna happen so he's stalling. |

How do you know such things? |
Isterio said: What!?Oda has a 100% of One Piece already written in scriptform since he had the story written in a 2 year timespan before handing it to Jump in order for serialization. |
Fantasee said: Pretty much this! Fair assumption is that the story is about 70% done, but nobody confirmed that.The article never said One Piece is 70% completed. “He told me that the first part of the story, the part prior to the time-skip, was around halfway through. That was about 60 volumes, so maybe we’re at 70%? I don’t think it’s at 80% yet. Something like that.” All that this article confirmed is that the timeskip is a rough indicator of the 50% mark.

So let's just say the 120 volume mark is somewhat accurate - The manga is on volume 77 right now. That is roughly 64% of 120. I think using the statement of "One Piece was supposed to end in 5 years" to counter the argument of "Oda has planned out most if not all of his story already" is not suitable, because I can also say that Oda had outlined his story until the end, but never thought that those small details he added in would take so much space. hence "delayed" the ending of the series. Mkim said: I know how you feel. I wouldn't mind if it goes on to about 120% as Reddy said. xDAnd it just hits you "Dang, 70% already?" So we're getting like 5-6 more years of One Piece... Suddenly it feels so little even thought it lasted about my whole lifespan. Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan .-. Reddy548 said: i think if theres people to read he can make to 120% (I WANT PLS) G_Spark233 said: This is what I am thinking as well, unless the story doesn't play out as we originally thought it would. I could see the story taking another way and make it a lot shorter, though I wouldn't prefer that. ):30% doesn't seem like that much considering how much of the story is left to go. |

And there is Wanted, who includes the One Piece oneshot, that includes only Luffy and Nami. I recomment you this site if you wanna look up interviews. http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page For the SBS buy the volumes. Didn't know he reveal that much. |

The end, not the journey to get there. Obviously the path to get there would receive infusions of new ideas whenever they come to him, but the actual identity of the One Piece, final battle and revelations would be planned from time. |

| I don't know why but I always thought that One Piece would end with chapter 1000 or with volume 100 although there were still many things to explain. |
| Surely still it will not conclude anytime soon |

Isterio said: . Furthermore he Oda had planned to write a battle manga that´s completely "deathfree". He decided to later on to change that after seeing that a well handed death can actually enrich the story. He doesn't kill characters, because he wants the reader (a 13 yo boys) to feel satisfied at the end of the arc. That's why there are no unnecessery deaths in the series. Also he was planning to kill Ace one year after his appearance (2000) so I don't think he was on a quest to make a deathfree story even at the beginning. He just made it a rule not to kill anyone unless it is necessery for the story. As for people who think Oda has no idea what he's doing: Question: ...Exactly how far ahead do you plan One Piece, and what is your story-planning technique? Oda: I only have the ending of One Piece in my mind, and nothing else. But knowing the end point, I weave the story and make story arcs that build up to it. This confirms two things: a) he knows where he is going with the story b) every arc is relevant And this crappy "it was supposed to be 5 year long" argument is getting old. Yeah, it was, so what? Song of Fire and Ice was meant to be 3 books long. It's gonna end up with 7 or maybe even more. Does that mean Marting milks his story and fills it with pointless filler? No, it doesn't, because the story and the universe evolved as he was writing. But it doesn't mean that after he finished his third book he had no fucking idea what's gonna happen next and just made shit up on as he went. That's just how writing works. |

If the manga ends in 5-6 years than the anime will end in a little more than 5.5-6.5 years. Dragon Ball ended like that, there is no reason for One Piece to be different. |
| Ten year from now: 'One Piece is 75% complete'. This approximations are usually wrong. It was the same with Naruto. Oda's editors are so lucky to know the ending. They're probably under a contract not to reveal anything and being followed 24/7 by secret agents. |

| If Oda isn't the best at knowing when his own series is going to end, I doubt his editor would do much better. Not even accounting for the breaks. :P |

Eh, not sure about that, imo it's more interesting to be patient and just follow the series each week. If Oda told me by phone the ending, like "this and this happens" I'd be probably like 'oh, ok'. Could be disappointing :D |

Edgyreggie said: In regards to the percentage. We heard two different ones. I forget who said what but oda said one and his editor said another. One being 65% and the other being 70% I believe. This was said around chaper 800 which makes sense. If you remember oda said the halfway point for one piece was around chapter 600. Meaning one piece would end around chapter 1200. 65 or 70 makes sense being at around 800. The end of dress Rosa signified the end of the second third of one piece. Two thirds is 66% hence the percentages we got. They were rounded uo. We're in the third act now. As of now we have about 350 chapters left if oda sticks to his plan. Assuming this holds true we are looking at another 9 years of one piece manga. Seeing as 40 chapters are released a year usually. So 40×9=360. That's nearly 9 years. So one piece is going to be around for a long time yet people. Can't agree more, iam totally convinced that the end of dressrossa was the end of two third of the story |
