One Piece

Eiichiro Oda’s warning about ‘One Piece’ in 2025, promising intensity and putting all readers on alert

The world of ‘One Piece’ is about to shake like never before.

Jump Festa 2025 was held in Japan, an annual manga and anime exhibition sponsored by the Shueisha publishing house, responsible for such important magazines as Weekly Shonen Jump and other brand publications. The event has been held every December for two days since 1999, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Makuhari Messe Convention Center in Chiba. One of the most important protagonists year after year is ‘One Piece’, and this time Eiichiro Oda has left a message that fills us with expectations for a promising 2025 in the popular series.

“As for the manga, we’ve finally arrived in Elbaf! It’s a laid back kingdom, but the serenity is about to be shattered by the arrival of a particular man! Meanwhile, there will be tumult in other seas as well! And at last, that one guy will begin shaking up the world!! Take a deep breath now, because soon you may not be able to come up for air!” Who is Oda referring to? Everything points to the fact that he is talking about Monkey D. Dragon, Luffy’s father and supreme commander of the Revolutionary Army, considered by the World Government as the most wanted and dangerous criminal in the world. Another possibility could be Imu, the secret leader of the World Government, but it is unknown if he is a man.

‘One Piece’ prepares for a new year full of emotions

Many expected that the Dragon would have a much greater importance in 2024, since it was the Year of the Dragon in the Chinese horoscope, but everything indicates that it will be in this 2025, which is the Year of the Snake. A character we met in Loguetown in a distant 1999 in the manga and 2000 in the anime, and since then the mystery about his character is huge, although we know something more about him.

The latest chapter of the manga shows us a situation in Elbaph that opens many fronts, filling the work with intensity and making us see that we are indeed in the final stretch of the same, with all kinds of mysteries opening and the most powerful characters beginning to appear.
