One Piece creator keeps delaying the inevitable and doesn't think the manga will end until at least 2030
Eiichiro Oda provides an update on One Piece's endgame timeline
One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda has given a more specific timeline on when his long-running manga could end.
As reported by Otaku Art, this year's One Piece Day saw Oda provide fans with an update on One Piece's future as it hurtles towards its final arc.
According to the outlet, Oda has outlined plans for One Piece to last for at least four more years, taking it up to 2030.
Adding further fuel to the fire, the 17th One Piece movie, BAAD, is now slated for release in 2029. Either way, One Piece, both in the pages of its manga and on the screen, isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
A One Piece remake, titled The One Piece, is also coming to Netflix in January 2027. The project will take the opening 50 chapters of Oda's manga and streamline it into just seven episodes, ensuring a new, modern way for younger generations to experience the 1000-plus episode classic from the very beginning.
Recently, Oda has made a fascinating gambit regarding his hit franchise. Fittingly, it even led to an international treasure hunt.
Back in March, Oda revealed the real meaning behind the One Piece treasure was buried over 600m underwater in an undisclosed location.
