Eiichiro Oda: One Piece Manga Will Enter Wano Arc in 1-2 Years

Wait, how long is he going to continue the whole cake island arc? and does he have like another arc planned after it? cause I thought that after this they were heading straight to wano:?

After Whole Cake Island comes the Reverie arc.

Hey remember how they said that we're gonna get Wano in 2017? Yeah that was a bunch of BS xP

Wait a minute, I thought the Whole Cake Island story was reaching its climax, and I figured it'd end in a few months. It's going to be another one to two years? What's going to happen after this? Is it succumbing to the same ending fatigue as Dressrosa?

Is that true? Nothing in the story suggests that, as Reverie stuff has been placed in between arcs for some time now. Bits of preparation were shown before the past thee arcs and on the chapter title pages, and the current ones show Sai and Boo up to something totally unrelated to Reverie.

Yeah, Oda has a tendency to spontaneously come up with more ideas and put them into the arc he's at. His editors have to constantly restrain him and get him back on focus, sometimes suggesting he put them in later. When they went easy on him was when we had the 100-chapter Dressrosa story. (Well, that's what I theorize anyway, as when that story began was when the editors got shuffled around and Oda got a relative newcomer to the editor game.)

The Reverie thing was also mentioned by one of the editors. Also it makes sense story-wise, before Whole Cake we saw many of the Island leaders getting ready to go, or already sailing, to Reverie so it only makes sense that by the time Whole Cake is over they will already be there.

Personally i think we will also have a smaller arc (maybe before both Reverie and Wano) dealing with Edward Weevil Whitebeard Jr., the newest Shichibukai who is taking down the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, and Marco and those remnants that Nekomamushi set to recruit at the end of Zou for the fight in Wano. If another Shichibukai is beaten it will add to the conversation at Reverie about abolishing the Shichibukai system as Fujitora wanted.

that's always the problem with authors and some editors. they have a nasty habit of overuling the authors when they have ideas for an arc, but it ends up being scrapped so that story will either end in a movie or in those "so called filler arcs"
