I can see the last episode of OP

Rue D. Morgue

As the title says, i can see the last episodes or better to imagine it. As we all know, luffy is a tender-hearted pirate, that has a priority except being the pirate king, to help others despite the level of difficulty of their problems, as well as never asking for a reward. Thus, i can see the end with luffy being captive and ready to be executed where Gol D. Roger was executed, with two possible scenarios.

1st: Every guy that luffy once saved to be there to pay their debt to luffy just by acknowledge his grace and the Pirate king of their era.

2nd: Every guy who saved, trying to save him to repay him for his help etc ..

Luffy is rly the character that gives with out asking, he has that power to be friendly even with enemies. He has a static grace that noone can dispute. Throughtout OP we can see luffy saving from mere human, to cities, even whole nations. Just imagine a scene where every man/woman he saved, trying to help him giving their lives for him .. that's the real pirate king. Even Marines won't be able to do a thing against him …

(i got sooooo excited with my thoughts, i nealry came.. )

I was thinking about this just last night, how OP would all end. That will truly be a sad day. I just hope that Oda continues for another 5 years at least. There's still so much potential in the series.

Do you think there would ever be a One Piece Z kind of thing?

Rue D. Morgue

I prefer not .. OP does have a lot of potential but releasing too many episodes in the end will bore the fans, myself included even thought i wish i was a character of the series.

As for the sad word you used, i doudt it. That day, that episode, that incident could be described with every other word, except sad.
King means that you rull over everything .. being pirate is something common to their era. But being the pirate king, that will be respected, loved and undisputed either by foes and allies.Being that kind of pirate king,makes you the worlds ruller.. not a ruller that seeks power, wealth, etc. But a ruller that rule over others hearts.. that day:

LUFFY WILL BE DECLARED AS THE PIRATE KING..

I meant sad for us, as fans.

Rue D. Morgue

Bah i still doudt.. that will be the glorious end of one of the best anime series ever ..
The end of something does not necceserily bring around the bad things out of it, in some cases the exact opposite happens.

I seriously doubt the Baratie; all of Galley La, Franky Family, and Lola Pirates; Orange, Syrup, and Cocoyashi Villages; and the entire kindoms of Alabasta, Drum, and Skypia; as well as however many groups of people he saves in the New World would all come to one place (possibly Marrigold) just to pay their respects. Even if it is the new Pirate King.

Rue D. Morgue

I will say "you never know". Gol D. Roger was more of a legend or at least we don't rly know about his doings till he became the pirate king and how he trully became the pirate king. Of course you have to be strong yourself, with a strong crew along with strong bonds beetween the members. Then a huge amount of treasures could do, in order to motivate other generations to follow his doings. Now in contrast, we know everything about luffy(because he is the main character), but the fact that lots of time, lots of people have stated that luffy reminds them of Roger, does not neccesarily means that he roger himself helped people through hardships and trouble. These two are said to look alike by the way they react and the way they state their dreams and ambitions. That's the point i want to make, we know the acts of luffy, therefore we can tell that his acts will be justified by the ppl he saved, he will be supported for a known reason and not just because he is the pirate king or because he just inspired other generations … don't forget that's how luffy is inspired by him. He has a lot of respect for him because he was the king, because he fullfiled his ambitions, because he became so great, and because he died as simply as that but via his way of dying he became even greater that he already was. And last but not least, recall yourself the moment luffy was ready to die by buggy on the executionary stand. He even said: "Sanji-Zoro , forgive me but i won't become the pirate king" if i recall correctly. His arcs were few and of little importance at the time being, but even then he was ready to put his life on the life for his dream and he never feared of dying to begin with.

p.s: ok maybe he did feared, those times he was about to drown (phewww , i thought i was gonna die he says ahahaha)

I can definitely see toei producing a One Piece Shippuden or something like that long after Oda has moved on to something else. Most of the episodes will revolve around luffy helping little kids find their pets or parents and the foxy pirates will appear in every episode.

Conspiracynut

Shippuden means "Hurricane Chronicles" and is Naruto's equivalent of Dragonball's Z. Which is to say, the author was/is still working on the series; but the animators just added to the title for the post-time skip story. Goku became a parent; Naruto finished his 3-year training. It also means that you think Toei would directly ripoff their biggest rival. Which is, of corse, retarded.

What you fear is One Piece pulling a Dragonball GT, which was completely filler and slightly more interesting than the plots you described. In other words, the worst case scenario is actually a better fate than your paranoid half-nonsense.

Rue D. Morgue

There is no space for other OP chronicles or extras.. such thing would ruin the series. The large amount of episodes makes it kinda hard for someone to start watching it already, oda isn't that stupid to ruin one of the best anime series around.

Mister Yakuza

I hope after the series we will get to see some OP prequel like roger's voyage, not a series but something like a one shot manga before Oda do his mecha manga(oda needs to draw more ships and ship battles on OP to prepare for his mecha manga dream).

Rue D. Morgue

Roger's trip sounds a good idea not to say AWESOME.

Psycho_Kenshiro

One Piece doesn't need a "Z" style second half or anything, I mean the One Piece anime is already longer than Dragonball Z, and it'll soon be longer than Dragonball and DBZ combined.

And of course, the One Piece manga is already longer than the Dragonball one.

One Piece is simply One Piece, the unstoppable juggernaut of epicness.

I definitely hope it runs for at least another 5 years, hell, I hope it runs another 10 years. One Piece is the one show that never gets old.

That said, I do hope the ending will be a great one, when we eventually get there. But naturally, the fun is in the voyage.

I wouldn't say I fear it. If I actually was tied to a chair and forced to watch non-stop filler, then I'd be afraid. However, I do expect toei to milk a successful anime for every yen it's worth. And i expect that they will be able to find an audience for a continuation of one piece, no matter how bad it is.

Rue D. Morgue

Rofl.. the audience is supposed to find the series not the series the audience

I had an interesting thought once.. actually it was rather a scary thought, and I'm surprised at myself for coming across it so randomly… Plus the title 'last episode of One Piece' got me thinking about it again-----what if something happened to Oda (God forbid and no I'm not trying to curse him T__T...) and One Piece was left UNFINISHED?? Now, most of us know that Oda pretty much thinks up a lot of stuff on the fly and doesn't plan too much in advance, but shouldn't he have some sort of 'emergency ending' in mind in case something were to happen (again, God forbid, it's really depressing to think about) and he were unable to complete this fantastic series?

My thoughts really just run along the lines of 2 writers/creators, that really have no connection whatsoever but logically come to mind–and sorry if my logic seems screwy @_@:
1.) J.K. Rowling– she mentioned once in a documentary (ages before it was completed, mind you) that she had written the ending of Harry Potter and sealed it away in a safe so that no one could try and steal it, but I also believe for the purpose that if she were unable to complete it, it could be used to finish up the story.
2.) Sunao Yoshida– original author of Trinity Blood. After his death his good friend Kentaro Yasui helped complete the manga series, but was it something that Yoshida had begun to plot out, or did Yasui come up with it on his own? Did he end the series in a way that Yoshida truely would have wanted?

Truthfully this question of 'what if' can be posted towards any ongoing writer/manga-ka, but since One Piece IS so far one of the longest ongoing manga series AND most popular in Japan, shouldn't he have some sort of contingincy plan? I know it sounds silly, but if you really think about it… what would the ending of One Piece be like without Oda? Would it be what he wanted? Or would his successor just find the most acceptable way of making Luffy into the Pirate King quickly after wrapping up whatever arc he happened to be in? Or even worse, would it turn into something random along the lines of DB GT?

Again, I do not wish ANY ill thoughts for Oda at all and seriously fear any curse some sort of thread reply like this might inact searches for prayer talismans, but it's just some thought for you all to chew on. So, chew away.

Psycho_Kenshiro

Oda is immortal, he has inside him the blood of kings! He has no rival, no man can be his equal.

Gomu Gomu No Batuta

Let's just hope Oda to stay healthy and makes One Piece even longer.

Stop speaking about future, we really don't know…
Luffy may or may not become the Pirate King, One Piece may or may not end with the Mugiwaras going all the way through the New World.
I just hope that for the time being, OP will remain as epic as it has grown to be and Oda will never go the way a lot of shonen gone: just a succession of battles to see who's the stronger.

Rue D. Morgue

Your thoughts are correct, now that i am thinking about it .. it rly makes me scared as well!! But you should already know that oda is a D .. so there is no way he would die.
But if he were to.. i think that OP would find an unfaithful death.. i doudt if there is any other author to complete it. As for the ending of the series, oda will surely have think about it but i doudt if he has write it. Something that distant wouldn't bother him, i believe. Plus, even if he has written the end, till he gets aired it needs a lot of fixing, both in the scrypt and the dialogues. Work needs to be done till they air it, just writing the scenario does not mean it is done.

:shocked: …

Luffy Will Be The Pirate King, no matter what .. :getlost:

WolfClawStudios

I believe in a whole new saga that some strange events occur and to become the Pirate King, Luffy has to kill someone, and he decides to let the guy live, which means that Luffy isn't the Pirate King.

It just seems that it would work in Luffy's character for him to give us his Pirate King dream to save someone else…

Rue D. Morgue

The factor that strawhats throughtout their fights never killed an opponent is a dubious concern.. and to me they won't kill someone on the near future either, not to say ever.
