Summary

One Piece’sWano Country arc was the first time that truly made the fans feel that the series was edging closer to its end. Before that, Oda mentioned on multiple occasions thatOne Piecewould end in a set number of years, but nothing truly ever materialized. However, things are different now. One Piece finally entered the Final Saga afterthe end of the Wano Country Arc, and while this Final Saga is certainly not a short one, it is bound to end the series sooner or later.

Most fans expectOne Pieceto go on for a while, but the latest decision taken by Oda seems to imply thatOne Piecewill be moving forward at a slightly rushed pace, which raises questions about when it’ll end.

As fans know,Luffy has had quite an adventureinOne Pieceand currently, after leaving Egghead, he’s in Elbaf. Luffy only cares about the adventure aspect of things, but he also knows that he needs to get the last Road Poneglyph. Surprisingly enough, the last Road Poneglyph might well be on Elbaf, and this is because Oda has heavily hinted at it.

Just one more, and we’ll finally be at the Final Island! — Franky

According to what’s been mentioned in the story so far, the last Road Poneglyph is with the Man with the Burn Scar, and this person seems to be none other than Scopper Gaban. If Gaban truly has the last Road Poneglyph, then it goes without saying that once the fighting ends in Elbaf, Luffy will have all the required Poneglyphs and will finally be within reach of theOne Piece.
