In the special issue of Shounen Jump, staff posted a small article with the interview of Japan’s no.1 manga artist - Eiichiro Oda. With One Piece running for over 15 years, fans from all around the world want to know how will this amazing manga end: Will the Strawhats fulfill their dreams? How? Is somebody going to die? If yes, then who?
Being known for his unique style and mind-blowing plot, Oda quickly became the respectful mangaka that most artists and his colleagues admire. Wanting to do something in return for his fans, Oda slightly reveals his plot ideas in SJ article.
“It’s always hard when you need to kill the character… I love all of them, they all have that unique place in my heart and when I need to end their journey… well, it’s not pleasant.” said sensei, reminding people how hard Ace’s death was to him.
“As for what will happen in the future voyage… Heh, I can say that it will really be amazing! For example, arrival at Wano will have a great impact on the crew.” Oda smiled but then saddened “Sadly, many unpleasant things will happen there and I already said I hate writing characters’ deaths…”
When the interviewer asked about Luffy and treasure “One Piece”, Oda laughed a bit but then said “Whitebeard said that it exists, right? So…” he then paused but smiled more “I can’t wait to write the big decisive battle with everybody’s dear yonkou.”
