More Information Regarding One Piece’s Hiatus
One Piece is taking a break of one month after whole twelve years. The last break One Piece had taken was back in August 2010 when the One Piece’s Paramount arc finished and the straw hats decided to take two years to train. And, now before One Piece goes into its biggest saga even bigger than Wano and Emperors, it will take a hiatus of a month. The announcement of the final saga was also teased back in August 2020 through Weekly Shonen Jump said “headed toward the upcoming final saga”.
Back in 2019, Oda announced that the One Piece will be ending in 5 years. However, given that the final saga could be bigger than the current Wano arc, it probably won’t be ending in 2024. As One Piece will be in its final saga in the upcoming month, it is still years before the manga will be concluded.
The fan’s reaction to the news of course came with a mixed reaction while few were upset, the others encouraged and prioritized Oda’s health amidst the upcoming events. Oda also joked about his upcoming break with the protagonist of the upcoming One Piece Film Red. The illustration narrated Uta saying “Hey Luffy, stop being a pirate. Hey Oda-san, stop taking breaks. Oda replies “Shut Up”.
