One Piece Is Lining Up An Ancient Weapon For Blackbeard

The One Piece manga is currently in its final saga, meaning it is rapidly moving towards its conclusion. Naturally, Eiichiro Oda is involving all the big-name characters in the story as a means to increase the overall stakes. For some fans, it's still surreal to see that the story has progressed so far that the end of One Piece is actually believable. Until a few years ago, fans often joked that they wouldn't get to see the conclusion of Eiichiro Oda's magnum opus.
