One Piece's 11 Supernovas where Luffy is a part of.

Eiichiro Oda's "One Piece" has been around for two decades now making it one of the longest running Manga series in the business. With its legion of readers from all over not to mention that most of them are intrigued for the longest time what the actual One Piece is, it has been revealed that the Oda's masterpiece will soon come to an end.

It was revealed early on by the "One Piece" creator himself that the Manga adaptation of Monkey D' Luffy's quest in locating the ultimate pirate treasure will soon be over. Oda stated in previous interviews that the main storyline of the widely read Manga series is already 65 percent done adding that the "Big Mom" saga is halfway done with around 25 chapters left, Celebeat reported.

Faithfuls even did some Math about it and came up with a ballpark figure suggesting that the Manga version for "One Piece" will be done in five to eight years' time. Moreover, the publication also mentioned that its ending will not be disclosed to anyone but only to Suguru Sugita - Oda's editor.

However, it can be recalled a few years back that Oda already revealed "One Piece's" conclusion to a dying kid suffering from cancer. To freshen up one's mind, HInati Fujinami made a request to Make A Wish Foundation's Japanese arm in 2014 to know the Manga's finale. Upon learning such wish, Oda looked for the kid and by the time he did the creator requested to have a private talk with the dying fan. After the closed-door talks, it is said that Fujinami was seen smiling with tears on his face and went on saying that "One Piece" is beautiful, according to Kdramastars.

Going back, Sugita also revealed in a "Gold Rush" interview in 2015 that fans will see more of the Four Emperors/Yonkos that is very much evident with the "Big Mom" arc. Also, he stated that it is very much likely that Oda won't be making future Mangas that are as long as "One Piece" since creator has been working on it for a long time, One Piece Podcast cited.
