One Piece, a deserving member of the Big 3 of Shonen anime, has provided fans with awesome stories, great & exciting adventures, fast-paced action, and an interesting double but interlinked power system: Haki & Devil Fruit. Unfortunately, it appears that this Shonen masterpiece is nearing its end, as Oda recently announced that the adventure series is about to enter its final “saga.”
While this information stirs mixed feelings for the hardcore One Piece fans, it also means the show will finally unlock the mystery behind certain occurrences, treasures, characters & locations. Even more, the series will most likely reveal the major theme of the show: the One Piece treasure. Apart from the outlook of the eponymous treasure, there are other incredible things fans can't wait to see in One Piece's final saga/arc. Here's a list containing some of One Piece’s most sought out revelations.
9 The Lost History Of The Void Century
The history of the Void Century is one of the biggest things fans expect to see in One Piece's final arc. The timeframe of the century is lost knowledge in the world of One Piece. Furthermore, the World Government's obsession with protecting what happened in the century foreshadows that century is linked to core events in the One Piece series.
To discover the history of the Void Century, decoding all the Poneglyphs is the only way. The Roger Pirates discovered the mysterious truth, and fans can only wait until the Straw Hats pirates finally unveil the hidden truths of the Void Century.
8 The Nature of Uranus – The Last Ancient Weapon
The Ancient Weapons, considered a "lore" by most unsuspecting One Piece characters, is a mystery that is gradually being unfurled in the One Piece franchise. These Ancient Weapons share a close connection with Void Century. Also, these ‘Weapons’ are capable of causing large-scale mayhem, which is why the World Government shields any information regarding them.
In the Fishman Island Arc, Princess Shirahoshi turned out to be the mysterious Poseidon. On the other hand, Pluton was hinted to be a massive battleship once constructed at Water 7. The location of the war-like construction is unknown; however, Franky burned the ship's blueprints so it could never be constructed again. Hopefully, the last Ancient Weapon, Uranus, will make its debut in One Piece's final saga as fans are curious about its nature.
7 The True Meaning Behind The Initial "D"
The Will of D. is one truth fans would love to discover in the One Piece final arc. The series has depicted certain people with "D" as their initial to be incredibly popular and sometimes powerful. Notable characters like Gol D. Roger, Monkey D. Luffy, Monkey D. Dragon, Marshal D. Teach, & Rocks D. Xebec have been central to One Piece’s storyline while bearing the initial D.
This development hints at some undiscovered mystery fans can only hope is introduced before the end of One Piece. Currently, Only Roger and a few others are aware of the meaning behind the Will of D, ascertaining that there truly is significant meaning behind the initial.
6 The True Power of Shanks
The red-haired pirate played a central role in Luffy becoming a famed name in the One Piece’s world of pirates. Many fans have estimated that Shanks may be the strongest Haki user in the series. This statement rings true when considering that Shanks Conqueror’s Haki was able to affect even the wooden parts of Whitebeard’s ship, asides from knocking strong members of the late pirate's crew unconscious.
Apart from Shanks Conqueror Haki, very little known is about the character’s true powers. One Piece fans can only assume that his power will be a major reveal in One Piece’s final saga.
5 The Final Battle Of One Piece: Luffy v. Blackbeard?
Luffy, the main protagonist of the One Piece series, has been at the center of most of the show's greatest battles. Based on these facts, it is only natural that he will play a critical role in One Piece's final battle. On the hand, Blackbeard, the only possessor of two Devil Fruits, currently lurks in the background. It is possible that this overpowered pirate may clash with Luffy before the end of the series.
Fans would love to see how well Gear 5 Luffy holds against Blackbeard with his Yami Yami no mi and Gura Gura no mi Devil Fruits. The battle may be the hottest One Piece fans have ever seen.
4 The Location of Laugh Tale
Earlier in One Piece, it was revealed by Roger that the location of the One Piece treasure is on the island of Laugh Tale. Getting to the island is what the major part of One Piece has been about. The location of the mysterious island can only be accessed by using the Poneglyphs, decoded by Robin.
Many fans theorize the possible location of this island due to its importance to the series, but most likely, no one knows its location. Eiichiro Oda has probably foreshadowed the island’s location, but it still remains a mystery. Hopefully, it lives up to the hype.
3 Zoro: The World's Strongest Swordsman?

The Vice-Captain of the Straw Hats pirates has vowed to be the world’s strongest swordsman, surpassing the likes of Mihawk and Shanks in terms of swordsmanship. In the recent Wano Arc of One Piece, Zoro evolved his skills with the sword and his Haki usage. At this rate, it is possible that the green-haired pirate might just achieve his dream.
However, the process in which this happens is still lined with mystery. Nevertheless, if it happens, fans can only imagine the capability of Zoro’s swordsmanship at that level.
2 The Nature Of The One Piece Treasure
The One Piece treasure is the biggest mystery of the series. The hunt for this eponymous treasure started after Gol D. Roger said his final words. A good number of pirates, both powerful and average, all aim to find the One Piece treasure. However, the pirate crew closest to discovering the treasure is the Straw Hats.
When it is found, no one except Oda truly knows the form the One Piece will take. Still, the treasure will be the main talk of the anime franchise the day it's found since the One Piece is among the biggest mysteries in the anime world.
1 Luffy As The Pirate King
Monkey D. Luffy, the main protagonist of the One Piece series, has many achievements, but will he truly become the Pirate King? The Pirate King title once belonged to Gol D. Roger, a powerful pirate who explored the Grand Line and the New World, discovered the One Piece, and other shocking secrets the World Government cloaked. These achievements granted him the hallowed name: Pirate King.
Luffy is on the same path, and it's possible that he might even achieve bigger feats than Roger. In Wano Arc, his connection to Joy Boy and the Sun God Nika was revealed, and these discoveries hint at the possibility of Luffy truly becoming the Pirate King or something greater. If that happens, there will be no better way for One Piece to end.
