Ah I heard about that, well does make sense, but don't think it takes away it being impossible as it can still reach top 10 with sales it can get in new era since it also affecting other series too.One piece doesn't sell like that anymore,it once sold 4 millions in a single volume but not nowadays due to many people shifting to online reading.Sure people still buy physical volumes no doubt but it's no where like before.
And also EZ is supposed to have around 30 volumes as said by Mashima.FT sold 60 million copies in 64 volumes,note it's more than double volume count that EZ is supposed to have.To reach that level of sales in 30 volumes then EZ need to reach Attack on Titan level sales per volume.

Also true, but Mashima did said he can continue over that if more ideas and something comes along the lines about it. With how big space and environment is, he can truly go farther even more than FT since he got a lot of free room when outer space as you can visit many planets, galaxies, dimensions shift, etc.. We have to wait and see how far he wants to take it though and still keep the quality he has right now. It has more potential compare to past series Mashima has work.
