Oda's goals for One Piece's final story arc

The final story arc began on July 25, 2022 with Chapter 1054 and Eiichiro Oda stated the following words when embarking on the topic mentioned:

Speaking of the final saga, I try to remind myself to use a playful approach. Even if One Piece ends up becoming a source of complaints from my fans or maybe some ideas are not interesting, it means that they will have been for me.

The author, continuing, also anticipated which will be the next scenario that fans will have to keep an eye on with particular attention:

Well, for the moment I would say that the events of the past will keep me busy. One day something happened in the world during the hundred years of the great void and that something will soon be revealed. It will be fun and interesting at the same time. What I actually like is when the readers get to have fun, it's really great.

Eiichiro Oda also thought about the manga's ending complete with a definitive statement. Please click here to read.

In the phantasmagoric universe of One Piece there is no word "rest", and the tireless mind of the master Oda is constantly at work to give birth to new, crazy adventures for the strangest gang of pirates there is! In Wa, Luffy's group has almost finished gathering companions and allies, and is now one step away from the planned raid on Orc Island. Meanwhile, on the side of the enemies, the worst of alliances sees the light! While Kaido toasts the "monstrous" partnership, the world situation begins to falter.
