ONE PIECE will have a major announcement soon

A major announcement about "ONE PIECE" will be made tomorrow, for both its manga and anime, through a special broadcast titled ONE PIECE NEWS Show. This event will be hosted by Hiroyuki Nakano, editor-in-chief of ONE PIECE Media, and will air at 9:30 p.m. (Japan time). The fan community is expectant, as any update on this long-lived and beloved franchise usually generates great enthusiasm, but also speculation about the future of Eiichiro Oda's work.

Among the theories most commented on by fans, the possibility that Oda is preparing the ground to complete the Elbaf Arc in a single chapter stands out, followed by a chapter dedicated to Laugh Tale and the last three focused on the final war. This hypothesis has been received with amazement, as many wonder if the mangaka will really be able to condense so many important events into so few chapters.

Another recurring comment suggests that the announcement could be related to a new suspension of the manga. Some speculate that Oda might take a break to work on the second season of the live-action One Piece adaptation, just as he did during the first season. Although this possibility might disappoint some, others believe that it could be beneficial for the author to finish the work with the level of detail it deserves.

Some fans are also discussing the possibility of an announcement about a new One Piece movie, which would generate great anticipation given the popularity of the previous films. Others, on the contrary, fear that the announcement could confirm the end of the manga in the next five chapters, which, if true, would mark the closure of one of the most influential stories of recent decades.

"It's exciting, I can't wait to see what the ad is about!" comments a follower on social media, reflecting the widespread enthusiasm in the community. Others hope that the announcement is not about a hiatus, and prefer to speculate about a possible announcement that "One Piece will be finished in three years" or that Oda will confirm that the work is 90% complete, needing another three years to conclude.

While the exact details of the announcement remain a mystery, one thing is for sure: the One Piece community is very intrigued and eager to discover the next big move in the story that has captivated millions for more than two decades. Will it be the beginning of the end, a new film project, or perhaps a remake of the anime?
