One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda knows how he wants the live-action One Piece to go, according to one of the stars of the Netflix show.
The One Piece manga has been running since 1997, while the anime has been going since 1999. While Oda has written down what the One Piece is (and dropped it in the ocean), there doesn't seem to be an ending on the way any time soon – but Oda has plans for the live-action show regardless.
"He has a vision to where he wants to end,” Mackenyu, who plays Roronoa Zoro in the Netflix adaptation, said on The Movie Podcast (H/T ComicBook.com). "Not end, but where he wants us to take the live-action to. And we all know about it. We all know where he wants to go up to. That hyped me up a lot. There's a specific arc he wants us to go up to."
Without an ending in the source material – and with the truth of the One Piece at the bottom of the ocean – it might be pretty difficult to bring the Netflix show to a satisfying conclusion. Luckily, it seems Oda has accounted for that, so here's hoping the show can stick the landing… whenever that may be.
One Piece season 2 arrives on Netflix this March 10. In the meantime, check out our One Piece season 2 release schedule to keep track of when and how you can watch the show.
