Discussion One Piece: Coming to an End!?

[DARK]

What makes you think, that 1200 are too long for One Piece? Kubo's stretching his manga to get to the 1'000 chapters milestone - so why cut the real good stuff?

Actually - I know I can only speak for myself - wouldn't mind spending 11 more years reading One Piece.

Kubo? You mean, Bleach. Right now it is at the 370 mark (390 if one includes the Pendulum arc and those omake chapters). One Piece is at 550; I doubt One Piece will extend to the 1000 mark.

So you don't believe Oda who said that One Piece is only about half way done right before giving a glimpse on Jinbei on the last Jump Festa? It was the Jump Festa back in 2008 were he gave a preview on Jinbei, wasn't it?

One Piece is not going to go for another 10-12 years. Oda already has the ending in mind and he also wants to do a mecha manga. It'll end in about 5-9 years. I really hope it doesn't go for another 10-12 years.

Can anyone tell me if there are any Shonen Jump mangas that have gone beyond 600 chapters, without changing there hero or name (like "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure") and not made up of different sequel and prequel stories?

Maybe I should also include gag mangas in the "do not include list"?

Kochikame with around 1600 chapters
I know it's an unfair example since it has a more episodic style but it is possible to go beyond 1000 - Oda himself jsut stated he had given up on One Piece being a manga that everyone could afford all volumes of (talking about children especially, not young adults)

Hajime no Ippo was in Shonen Sunday.
Detective Conan was in Weekly Shonen Magazine.
Neither are Shonen Jump.

In any case, all I know is that, at the very least, the story won't end until we know more about the Devil Fruits. Oda promised in an SBS that in on of the future chapters a certain "doctor" was going to explain what the DF's really are. So until that is explained this series won't end.

It is 2011 already, and the SH is still missing 1 more crew I think.

 

[Uriel]

Another 10 years.
Well, I don't think it will end soon and We have read that this was half of the manga. So 1.000 chapter seems still little. I give it at least 1.300 chapters.

Oda actually stated in an interview that op has about 10 years left. About 2 years ago.

Sorry i didn't have time to read all the posts so im sorry if someone already posted this. Just trying to clear stuff up for people.
