"ONE PIECE" releases its 100th volume today, September 3rd. To announce the release, there is an image of creator Eiichiro Oda drawing a panel with the sentence "The story is in its final phase."
The series' editor, Yuuji Iwasaki, also spoke with Sankei News about the popularity of the series and the current state of the manga, including how far the Wano Country Arc is from its conclusion. He explained that "the story is progressing faster than we could ever have imagined. I strongly feel that it is approaching its end, and more and more secrets are being revealed every week."
Originally, Oda had hinted that it would take at least 7 more years, while recent statements suggest an ending in 4-5 years.
Iwasaki also revealed that the Wano Country Arc is nearing its climax: "When I speak with Mr. Oda, we always discuss the end of the story. The climax of Wano is just around the corner. With the end in sight, all we can do is keep moving forward."
