As the beloved manga and anime series One Piece approaches its final saga, fans around the world are speculating about how Eiichiro Oda will conclude this epic tale, let’s explore some of the most intriguing possibilities for the One Piece Ending, keep in mind this will be 42069th theory of One Piece.
The Final War and the Fall of the World Government
One of the most widely accepted theories is that the series will culminate in a massive war between the Straw Hat Pirates, along with their allies, and the World Government. This conflict is expected to result in the destruction of the Red Line, a massive continent that divides the world’s oceans.The destruction of the Red Line would have far-reaching consequences:
- It would unite all the seas, creating the legendary All Blue – fulfilling Sanji’s dream.
- Fishman Island might be destroyed or relocated, aligning with Madame Shirley’s prophecy about Luffy.
- The world’s geography would be drastically altered, possibly reverting to its state before the Void Century.
The Nature of the One Piece
While many fans have speculated about the nature of the titular treasure, some theories suggest that the One Piece is more than just material wealth:
- It could be the revelation that the world was once a single continent, a “world in one piece” or Pangea.
- The One Piece might be a plan left behind by Joy Boy to overthrow the World Government when the time is right.
- It may involve information about the Void Century that the World Government has been trying to suppress.
The Ancient Weapons and Their Role
The ancient weapons – Pluton, Poseidon, and Uranus – are expected to play a crucial role in the final conflict. Poseidon, revealed to be Princess Shirahoshi’s ability to command Sea Kings, may be instrumental in reshaping the world.
Luffy’s Dream and the Inherited Will
A central theme of One Piece has been the concept of inherited will. Luffy’s dream, which he shares with Gol D. Roger, is likely connected to Joy Boy’s ancient plan to bring freedom to the world. This dream stands in stark contrast to Im’s desire to maintain control and privilege over the world.
The Final Battle: Luffy vs. Im
Many fans anticipate a climactic showdown between Luffy and Im, the mysterious leader of the World Government. This battle could take place in Mariejois, the holy land of the Celestial Dragons.Some speculate that the defeat of Im might involve:
- Im being sent to the bottom of the ocean, unable to swim due to a Devil Fruit ability.
- The destruction of the Pangea Castle, symbolizing the end of the current world order.
Potential Plot Twists

- A time travel element, possibly involving a new user of the Toki Toki no Mi with awakened abilities.
- The revelation that the Umibozu seen after Thriller Bark was actually Imu.
- The possibility that Raftel (Laugh Tale) is connected to another location where the true treasure is hidden underwater.
The Tone of the Ending
Many fans are curious about the emotional tone Oda will strike for the ending. Given the series’ themes of freedom, dreams, and the power of friendship, it’s likely to be bittersweet yet ultimately uplifting.
When Will It End?
While the exact ending date is unknown, some fans have theories:
- One prediction suggests the manga will end at chapter 1302, based on the title of chapter 302 being “Finale”.
- Others estimate it might take another 5-7 years to conclude the story properly.
Whatever the actual ending may be, it’s clear that Oda has meticulously planned and foreshadowed many elements throughout the series. The true joy of One Piece lies not just in reaching the destination, but in the incredible journey we’ve shared with these characters over the years.
