OK, first let me say I think that One Piece is going to end sooner than later and that the story is nearing its final stages, it will probably end within the next couple of years

here is how i think the upcoming arcs will pan out, feel free to give your thoughts and opinions about how they will pan out too

Water 7 arc
-strawhats will get a new ship for the journey ahead+new crewmember
-robin will leave and the strawhats will follow her leading into the next arc
-strawhats bounty will increase bigtime and they will become hunted even more

Robins Past arc
-strawhats will follow her and things will playout where they learn her past and get her to return to the crew
-her past will fully explain the ohara incident and we will get more info on the ancient weapon stuff, like why&how they exist and what they were used for
-we will learn what relationship she has to the government, we will also learn the governements TRUE faces and motives (namely the 5 elder star guys)
-we will learn info on aokiji and the past incident between him and robin
-another big fight will breakout, strawhats vs the marines (maybe aokiji again or maybe smoker will make his return)
-a big revelation about roger will be made only adding fuel to the fire of his mystery
-strawhats will win and their boutines will get increased bigtime
-with robin back and all the new info learned the strawhats will setoff to the new arc

The Pirate Summit arc
-the strawhats and whitebeard pirates will run into eachother
-luffy&whitebeard will fight, luffy will get beat but will earn whitebeards respect
-another big revelation about roger will be revealed (maybe a big hint on his relationship with luffy)
-the major part of this arc will be luffy vs donflamingo, it will be the theme of oldschool pirates vs newage pirates
-luffy will win thus revealing the donflamingo's ideals are full of shit
-the strawhats bounty will get increased by a huuuuge amount
-with whatever happens the strawhats will get hints on where to go for their next location
-shanks and whitebeard will meet and in the process something big concerning the story will be revealed (info about the one piece)
-everything will mold together and it will lead onto the next arc

The Raftel Arc
-they will arrive in raftel along with other pirates and some big things will happen
-ace will defeat blackbeard and some ironic twist will be revealed (maybe blackbeard is aces father :P)
-we will learn the full story on gold roger and his past
-robin will learn the true history
-zoro will fight and defeat mihawk and become the greatest swordsman in the world
-the 5 elder stars will show up and fight the strawhats
-the strawhats will win and will eliminate the threat the government poses to them
-after defeating the 5 elder stars and learning rogers past they will find the exact location of the one piece
-dragon will reappear in some fashion
-this will lead to the the last arc

The One Piece Arc
-the arc will take place in the middle of all blue thus fufilling sanjis dream
-Shanks past will be revealed
-4 groups will fight over the one piece (whitebeard pirates,strawhats,redhair pirates,dragon)
-the first will be the strawhats vs whitebeard, after luffy beats whitebeard, whitebeard will reveal rogers relationship to luffy
-strawhats will find the one piece and be confronted by shanks group
-a big fight will ensue between the two groups and the strawhats will emerge victorious
-luffy will become the pirate king and then dragon will reappear
-the final fight of the series will be dragon vs luffy and dragon will be the super evil one who wants to destroy the government and enslave the world with the ancient weapons
-somehow luffy will win and save the world and make roger proud or something

Series Ending
-all of the past people in the series will learn that luffy became the pirate king
-they will travel back through the grandline and meet laboon again and various faces
-the strawhats will all return to their homes to tell their adventures
-the series will end with the crew reuniting a few years later and sailing off into the ocean carefree like oldtimes

the end.

thats how i think things will pan out, of course there will be plenty more plot twists and various other things that i didnt mention but anyways thats how i think it will end

so the series isnt too far off from ending, i give it another 5 years before one piece ends :P

so what are all of your thoughts/opinions on this?

….................huh? :blink:...... seems like you did not read all the story yet.......

"sign" I wish people would stop acting like if the end is coming to fast or something

e1n

eh, good theory. the robin past arc seems interesting, but i like how you played out the pirate summit arc. especially the whitebeard beating luffy but luffy earning his respect. that sounds plausible.

the raftel and one piece arc, though, i think would be more spectacular than just that. it is a possibility that one piece is somewhat related to the ancient weapon and the true history, so it might be that the true history and ancient weapon stuff won't be dealt with until the last arc.

i still stick with the line that someone in the old forum said "the one piece of true history."

Forte EXE

Very very cool and possible theories!!!!
I like the One Piece arc best….
But knowing Oda,he's gonna completely dazzle us with the new arcs....

WeSTBouND

**….................huh? blink.gif...... seems like you did not read all the story yet.......

"sign" I wish people would stop acting like if the end is coming to fast or something**

huh? why do you say i havent read it all?

fyi ive read everything so far :rolleyes:

and you wish that people wouldnt act like the end is coming to fast? dude, did you even read what i typed? i said 5 years, 5 years is hardly fast

you gotta face it man, one piece wont go on forever and its going to end sooner than later (read the sbs comments sometimes, oda said he doesnt want to make one piece his life work and he is already 30 years old or something and one piece started when? 1996 right? thats almost 10 years)

lmao, one piece wont be like hajime no ippo and go on till volume 100+

thanks :D

and about the raftel and one piece arcs, i agree i think they will be more exciting than i described them…. i couldnt really think of anything good for those so i had to throw some stuff together off the top of my head that i think will happen eventually... thats why it sounds so vague :P

and i used to think that the "one piece of true history" was the one piece too but that would be kinda boring, i think that in the raftel arc they will find a poneglyph that has the true history in one piece but i also think it will direct them to the real one piece (whatever that maybe)

lol i doubt even oda knows what the one piece is yet (part of me thinks he makes this stuff up as he goes and the other part of me thinks he atleast has the ending and major story points planned out but i dunno)

ohwell <_<

Very very cool and possible theories!!!!

thanks B)

Roman Zaenom

It's gonna be much longuer than that. They didn't even reach Red Line, which means they're still in the first half of Grand Line. If the first half had at least 7 islands on the way they chose to follow, I don't see why the second half wouldn't have at least 7 islands…

All I hope is that their next target is Red Line and the hideout of Jinbei... or the government's HQ.

Yoska

That could work out but I would add a few shorter arcs between them which has contents and characters we don't know yet nothing about.

Very cool theorys but you forgot somethings.

-Sanji must find all blue.
-Straw Hats must fight all the shishibukai.
-The 3 supreme marines and Sengoku arc vs Straw Hats.

Im looking forward to see whitebeard, blackbeard and red hair arcs too.

Damn One Piece is so cool! T.T

No way, theres going to be atleast a few more epic arcs like Alabasta and Skypeia in there. One piece is maybe halfway through tops.

Think of it, knowing the adventurish fight all villians type Shounen Jump, I predict they will fight ALL 7 shichibukia (only one defeated so far, 2 revealed (yet not confronted), 1 confronted (Mihawk), and 1 mentioned Jinbei, and 2 unknown). Most likely they will confront Mihawk at the end at Pirate's summit or something. However Oda just included the 4 admirals (which probably can predict that the Straw hats will eventually confront them or such). Though I am not sure if the straw hats will confront ALL the cp units (since cp9 is the ultimate one or something), and there is also the Blackbeard and Whitebeard conflict, along with 3 (or 2 more character) that need to join which probably have their own specific arcs. There is also a conflict concerning the "New Age" pirates which havent been touched very much. SOOOO MUCH TO DO BEFORE THE END! HOLD YOUR BRITCHES BOY!

Battle Franky

I can barely predict one chapter of this manga. Yet, you've got rest of the series thought through. :blink:

Satsuki

Didn't Oda say that the series is about half over now in the Water Seven Arc? That means we'll get at least 70+ volumes. Which is FINE by me! :D

Don't say things like that. It makes my bank account cry. :(

Captain Kuro

There's no way I'd want One Piece to go on for too much longer…I'd like to see the end of the story before I get really old. All stories have to end sometime.

I'm hoping Water 7 truly is about halfway (and personally, I wouldn't mind if it was more than half way, but that's just me).

SuperJew

A Penny For Your Thoughts Prediction: Luffy will go out the same way Gold Roger went out: Execution-style and setting off another, better Pirate Age.

Hmm a scary comment I found on one of the SBS: someone asked Oda how far Mermaid isle. (or something where Jinbei is suppose to reside) is on the Grand Line and Oda said…it is near the beginning 0-0! Uh oh X_X

One Piece won't end until Laboon and Luffy finish their fight.

That's all I got.

warp

i think the strawhat crew spitting up is crap. other than that its good. by the way is water 7 almost over

Daniee78

Pretty good theories, but you forgot about Buggy….I think that his past relationship with Shanks will play a role in the future

Also, I think the Straw Hat will get at least 2 more crewmembers, since Luffy said he wanted a crew of about 10 on Alvida's ship

The Dude

STOP THIS "PIRATE'S SUMMIT" BULL!!!!

There was NEVER any mention of a Pirate's Summit.

The End.

e1n

oh shit, dude's right. dammit, how could i forget?

the translation at that time was "come on luffy, come to the top,"

Buccaneer

There's no Pirates' Summit, but that's really just a name given to the meeting of red stripe pirates. We all know that a meeting with Blackbeard, Shanks, and Whitebeard will happen (though probably not all around the same time).

What da hell?!? Then the the "note" Ace gave Luffy was blank?! O_o

Buccaneer

No, it probably had something written, but not about a pirate party.

Every chapter of One Piece is the halfway point of the series, I'll believe chapter X is the halfway point when Chapter 2X is the final chapter of the series.

Some of those things sound reasonable, but I disagree on your assessment of Dragon. I don't think he wants to take over the world, I think he's just an anti government guy who thinks the higher ups are corrupt and wants a better world. I can immagine him fighting alongside the Strawhats and Smoker against the World Government.

I want to see a major conflict between Marines, now THAT would be an epic (corruption verses ideal justice)

Great idea! All Marines can't be by the book like they may seem (sans Smoker and a few others).

u forgot about the suchibukai, the supreme admirals, sanji+all blue, laboon, dori and brogi, and most of all u forgot about oda. the story might be near the end but there still is a lot of stuff to do

I LIKE SOME OF THOSE ARCS but heres a list of which u forgot to include

get 2 more members
go to the warrior village
smoker vs luffy
defeat the 7 god pirates
Luffy vs Shanks
and a lot more other stufff

i like that u agree but i said god pirates (suchibukai) the warioir village (dorri and broggy). and i think white beard might be from the warrior village hes too big to be human

he probably will face all of them as he becomes more of a threat so the marines will send them

PirateFetus V.2

you all forgot that they need to go back to laboon the whale!!!

EDIT: oh wait, no u didn't. BAHAHAHA~! silly me…. but laboon is the coolest so hooray for him

i said that a few posts ago

EDIT: hahahah we posted at the same time

Remember when Vivi said there were islands stuck in the past such as little garden. They might wind up on an island with futuristic technology or an island thats like our present.

about Luffy fighting the shichibukai, even though they're pirates that work for the govt. we've seen that they are all pretty different from each other with very different motives too, so personally I don't think that this will turn out to be Luffy vs. all the Shicibukai.
Only time will tell tho….

true
shanks will beat donquixote doflamingo
luffy will beat unknown
its safe to say kuma is a bear zoan so i think chopper will fight him
zoro will beat minhawk(even though minhawk is still really more of a good guy (from our point of view))

[snapback]10683[/snapback]

I don't think they'll face anymore CPs. Just look at how Tom and Franky tooled CP5 without a problem.

About the shichibukai i think they will be taken down by the strawhats. The way I figure it is they are going to cause a ruckus around the world. Shicibukai, 5 Elder Stars, and the 3 Supreme Admirals, all these areas need some updating so we'll see how it goes, but we know Oda does things delibrately and they were introduced for a larger purpose.

more than the sttrawhats taking care of evertything, it sould be more interesting to see some of the other main pirate crews take care of some other things too.
I mean the government is so worried about Shanks and Whitebeard meeting so it would probably be safe to assume that they would end up sending someone to monitor the situation and perhaps take action if thngs dont go theit way.

I dont know, I just seem to have a gut feeling that Luffy will confront (not necessarily fight) all of the shichibukai.

I don't know if someone said this already, but I'd like to see another pirate crew maybe finish off a Shichibukai member. No?

It would make sense if ANOTHER pirate finishes off the shichibukia, >_>

But how Oda is making this appear, it seems that he WANTS them to confront the shichibukai (I dont know, this is how I percieve it).
For if another pirate finishes them off without the reader knowing, it kinda lessens their "important" (For if Luffy only confronts…lets say 4, then it would kinda lead the reader..., "Wait, I thought there was 7") thus the reader would feel as if there were holes in the serie.

Mihawk is a Shichibukai, do you think Luffy will finish him off?

Yeah, maybe Robin will be happy to get more information about the past from living people and not only from the few texts B)

Regarding "the end" - I don't want to think about the possibility that we are already in one of the last arcs.

Eiichiro Oda created an immense universe, One Piece still VERY DISTANT of the end. Probably we will have more 6, 7 years of One Piece!

hell no that would be stupid if it becomes a series like pokemon (just an example) where it becomes tooooooo long like that

No way, that is Zoro's job. Once he beats Mihawk he is the best. Dream fulfilled, roll credits, we're outta here.
