Eiichiro Oda, Has Stated That The Final Outcome Of The Series Has Already Been Decided

Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, had previously stated that he would change the ending of the series if a fan successfully guessed it. However, it has been revealed that Oda never intended to change the outcome of the story, but rather the plot leading to it. Oda has also stated that he has a general idea of the main events that will occur in the story, but is not entirely sure of the specifics. Recently, it was confirmed by Oda's editor, Iwasaki, that Oda will not change his plans for the final chapter, even if a fan theory accurately predicts it. Oda has stated that he has had the ending planned for many years and would not throw away his years of planning for such a reason. In summary, it is now clear that Oda's previous statement about changing the ending was a joke and the ending of One Piece has been planned since 1999.

The Straw Hat, which is most commonly associated with Luffy and his crewmates, has its own history in Oda's world. It was passed down from Pirate King Gol D. Roger to Red-Haired Shanks, who then passed it down to the protagonist. Before they parted ways early in the series, Luffy promised to return the hat to Shanks once he established himself as a reputable pirate. While he has become one of the world's most infamous pirates, his encounter with the red-haired character is yet to occur. However, some fans believe that Luffy will follow tradition and, instead of returning the hat to Shanks, will give it to a capable pirate from the next generation. Another theory holds that Luffy will die at the end of the series. This appears to be a realistic possibility and was also alluded to in the manga. Devil Fruits both grant users enormous power and also curse them. This is because nature sees the fruits as anomalies brought about by human desire and thus considers them an enemy. As a result, eating one of them causes people to lose their ability to swim. There are other effects on the user as well, including a reduction in lifespan and the user's death if two Devil Fruits are consumed. Luffy's Gear 5, in particular, has been abusing his heart, and overusing it during the climactic battle against the World Government might lead to his death. Oda has stated that One Piece will not end with some sappy revelation, such as the treasure is about the journey or the friends made along the way. According to one fan theory, it is the union of the three Ancient Weapons that will be used to overthrow the World Government. Pluton, Poseidon, and Uranus are their names. The weapons are not restricted to inanimate objects and also include living things. Luffy as Joy Boy and Shirahoshi are currently thought to be Uranus and Poseidon, respectively, while Pluton's blueprints are associated with Franky.
