The Creator of ONE PIECE Already Has a Plan on How to End the Live Action Version

Kapanlagi.com - The live-action series ONE PIECE will be returning to Netflix with a long-awaited second season that fans have been eagerly anticipating. This adaptation of the super popular manga by Eiichiro Oda has generated hype from the start as it attempts to bring the world of pirates in ONE PIECE to life in a live-action format. Many fans are also curious whether this series can truly follow the lengthy journey of the original manga.

The manga ONE PIECE itself has been running for almost three decades since it first appeared in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. The adventures of the Straw Hat crew continue to evolve with various major arcs that are increasingly complex and full of mysteries. Given the story's extensive length, it's understandable that many people are starting to wonder how far the live-action version will adapt the original tale.

Interestingly, the actor portraying Roronoa Zoro in the live-action series, Mackenyu, has shared some hints that have made fans even more curious. He mentioned that Eiichiro Oda actually has a clear vision of how far this live-action story will go. There is even a specific arc that is likely to become the endpoint of the series later on. So, what kind of final plan has Oda prepared for this series?

According to Mackenyu, the actor who plays Zoro, Eiichiro Oda actually already has a vision for the direction of the ONE PIECE live-action story. He mentioned that Oda knows how far the live-action version will go, although the complete details are still a secret.

Mackenyu also revealed that the main cast actually knows the plan. However, they chose not to share the details with the public to avoid spoiling the surprise for the fans. Nevertheless, the fact that Oda has prepared the ending direction of the story clearly makes fans even more curious about the future of this series.

The second season of ONE PIECE will take the story to the Grand Line, a sea that is far more dangerous than East Blue. Some arcs that will appear in this season include Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island.

Additionally, the third season is already in production. Eiichiro Oda previously confirmed that this season will conclude the Alabasta saga, one of the major stories in the world of ONE PIECE. This arc is known as the first major conflict that truly tests the strength of the Straw Hat crew in the Grand Line.

3. The Potential Ending of the ONE PIECE Live-Action

Although the original story of ONE PIECE is far from over, the live-action version is unlikely to adapt the entire journey. This manga has many significant arcs after the Alabasta saga, including various giant conflicts that occur in the Grand Line region.

If this live-action series continues for several more seasons, it is possible that the story will end before entering the time skip era in the manga. This era becomes a crucial point in the Straw Hat crew's journey in the quest for the legendary treasure One Piece. Concluding the story before that part could be a sensible choice to ensure that the live-action version still has a neat ending without having to follow the entire super long manga story.
