Like, not in a "this ruined the story" disappointment (although it could be), but a "welp, I guess that's the One Piece, okay" way?

Pretty much no, but I can guarantee hardcore OP fans will argue that it's the greatest ending to the greatest story of all time and everyone else is just too smooth-brained to get the brilliance of it.

I have enough faith in the author to say I think the ending will be a good one, but I have to admit that I'm at least kinda worried.

No doubt, its probably gonna be something that only makes sense if youve kept up with the series - so itll disappoint in the sense a ton of people are going to be like I dont know what that means. We know it at least involves a lore dump poneglyph on the void century in there.

"The One Piece" sounds like a back to basics soft reboot after 5 increasingly dull sequels.

I don't disagree. Just feel the actual One Piece itself might be a hard element to truly deliver something satisfying.

Just like providing a satisfying answer to the meaning of life.

I expect it to be like the coin in Skies of Arcadia.

The real treasure is the friend you make along the way.

And yes, I know Oda is promising a real treasure.

What are built-up things that did deliver after a long time of build-up?

I think most agree that HIMYM actually did deliver on the mother after so much teasing and build-up (even if they then immediately botched the ending in most people's eyes).

They really messed up by trying to keep the original ending they planned, especially since it destroys everything else that happened in the series. Forcing Robin and Ted to get back together was a bad move. Barney and Robin should have had a happy ending and making Barney hardly change was terrible(although him having a daughter was a nice touch.)

I'm worried about what the One Piece might be but its such a fun ride that its sometimes hard to care. I feel like people will make it a bigger deal though. I also feel like its a possibility that Oda might be worried since he has been building up to it for so long.

Yeah, that ending would have been better on a show that lasted 2-3 seasons. There was definitely a certain point where it no longer fits the show, though.

Serious question, did he confirm this real treasure isn't going to be friends, unity and all that jazz? Depending on one's perspective, some could argue friends being a real treasure, which has me wondering still will Oda take this route. Or a route close to it like what Big Mom was going for in her own twisted way. Some symbolic treasure that in some perspectives is just as real and valuable as gold.

Like did he actually promise that it's going to be an actual item that will make them financially rich? And not some symbolic call to riches like love, friendship and everyone singing kumbuya to whatever harmony that was the lost century?

The author has confirmed in interviews that the One Piece is a tangible, physical object of some kind. It's not symbolic or spiritual or something like that, he said he would never do that.

He never said it would make them financially rich, though.

Which means the absolutely ancient theory that the treasure is either a spaceship or the blueprints for one, leading to "one piece z: One piece in space", still has a real chance of becoming real.

Its honestly going to be an interesting time for the online fanbase when it finally gets revealed.. oh my thats for sure, I dont think there is anything that will 100% satisfy the entire fan base at this point with the shear amount of build up, hype, fan theories and the such out there

Its also one of the only times i can see it being "The friends we made along the way" and not actually be a cop out

But ya... Its going to be interesting to see what.. on that lonely unknown island made the Pirate king laugh so

the story of one piece starts on the pirate king declaring at his execution that he left all his treasure in one place, telling everyone in the world to go and find it. It gets called the One Piece, and this declaration starts an era of pirates searching all over for it. 20+ years later, when the story largely takes place, the treasure still isn't found and people begin to doubt its existence, with many pirates even mocking those who believed such a tale. The One Piece is real meme is a moment in the series where a character declares to the world that yes, it really is real.

there's a bit more to it in context, but I wanted to leave out possible spoilers

yeah, you can feel that the last 15 chapters or so have been stuff Oda's been wanting to write for a long time, and he's having an absolute blast. I'm still putting all my stock in the "the one piece object will help destroy the red line, thus bringing the world together in one piece" theory, probably involving Binks' sake or something

Is the series going to be ending soon? A decade ago "the one piece is realz" memes were popping up.

I've got a dollar that says it removes all Gears and makes Luffy and co. a happily ever after kinda deal. Look at all this power you have, but don't you want to go back to being a simple pirate?

One Piece was always mid. Not sure how it randomly grew a large following in the last 5 years.

At least around here, Dragonball fell off during the God stuff and Naruto ended before that. All the casual anime fans I've met have bounced over to One Piece because it's popular and has a billion episodes to catch up with.

Seriously though, odds are pretty good that the One Piece will end up being Uranus, the last of the Ancient Weapons that hasn't been seen yet. I'm willing to bet that it will be some form of sentient creature or construct, and Roger and his crew burst out laughing when they saw it because it's a fucking goofball. Would also fit well with Joy Boy / Nika's whole theme, since the One Piece was originally JB's treasure. It also helps make sense of the fact that Laugh Tale is strongly implied to be in the air; Uranus was the god of the sky in Greek mythology, so it probably caused the entire island to start flying similar to a Sky Island, but possibly much higher up, possibly even in space.

For some reason, I imagine this as the end of an NES game, with that final black screen with text and an 8-bit Roger laughing.
