The Final Saga of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece has kicked off in incredible fashion, with the Egghead Island arc raising the heat in ways that fans could not even imagine. Most of the fans expected Egghead to be a transition arc, especially after the events of Wano, which saw the series hit its very peak. Of course, after such a massive war, most fans expected Egghead to be somewhat light-hearted, and at the same time, very short.
One Piece Fans Are Concerned Over Oda's Health
Oda's health has the fans concerned. Here's what One Piece fans need to know about One Piece's latest breaks.
However, Egghead Island ended up being anything but that. In fact, it can be said that this arc is one of the most chaotic in the entire series, with some of the greatest battles, and biggest revelations being made. Now, Egghead is incredibly close to its conclusion, and that means there are just a handful of arcs left in the One Piece series.
The End Of Egghead And Beginning Of Elbaf
With The End Of Egghead, Elbaf Will Finally Begin
The end of the Egghead Island arc is very close now. Fans have witnessed this arc being built up by Oda incredibly, and right now, it is in its very climax. As seen over the course of the last few chapters, Vegapunk is delivering his message at the moment, and it looks like it is going to wrap up at any second now. The Five Elders are currently on the island as well, and their goal is to stop Vegapunk's message. Meanwhile, the Straw Hat Pirates are caught up in all this, and their goal is to escape from the island and head to Elbaf at this point in time. No one seems to be getting closer to their goal at this point, other than Vegapunk, whose message is almost done. Now, a battle between the Iron Giant and the Elders seems to have been set up, and once that battle wraps up, Egghead could be very close to its conclusion.
Fans should expect this arc to wrap up in around 10 or 12 chapters at most, and once that happens, the Egghead Island arc will officially conclude. This means that fans will get a proper look at the next arc of the story, which is likely going to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, in the entire series. Of course, this arc is Elbaf.
Fans have been waiting for Elbaf to start for years now. This arc was first teased in the pre-timeskip of One Piece. In fact, this arc was teased even before Wano, and that goes to say a lot. Some of the most incredible revelations are going to be made here, and given that this is a major arc, fans can expect massive battles unfolding here. Elbaf is going to be bigger than fans can imagine, and it is certainly going to live up to all expectations, and potentially even surprise them. This is the next big Arc in One Piece, and one on the same level as the likes of Whole Cake Island, and Wano Country, among many other big arcs in the story. This is going to be the final saga's first big arc, and it is also likely that Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates will be able to take their final step to get closer to the One Piece. If Luffy manages to get the fourth Road Poneglyph in this arc, then, he will have all that he needs to get to the final Island, and that means once the events of Elbaf are over, fans will then see the story head towards the Final Island itself.
The Laugh Tale Arc
Luffy Will Claim The One Piece In This Arc
It is highly likely that the mystery surrounding the Man with the Burn Scar as well as the fourth Road Poneglyph will be dealt With in Elbaf. If that happens, then the Straw Hat Pirates and Luffy will have all that they need to get to the treasure that was left behind by Joyboy, and has been untouched since Roger reached this island. At this point, there's only one place for them to go, and that is going to be Laugh Tale. Of course, it is also possible that Luffy and the crew will have to Lodestar Island first. However, at this point, the importance of this island doesn't seem to be all that big. This is simply down to the fact that Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates already know all about the Poneglyphs and, thus, won't have to go there, as that would be redundant.
In front of that grand treasure, which was very real indeed, Roger just laughed.
Still, Oda could incorporate it in the story in many ways, such as introducing an important element that would then lead to a Lodestar Island arc. The chances of that happening are very low, however, and that is precisely why the series will likely directly head to the Final Island after Elbaf.
One Piece: Imu and Lily's Connection, Explained
In One Piece, Imu has an obsession with Vivi's ancestor, Nefertari Lily. Here why.
On the Final Island, fans will most definitely get to see their biggest revelations being made. As put by Oden, on the final island, the answers to what the Ancient Weapons are, what the meaning of the D is, and what the true history Of the 100-year Void is will be found out. Luffy will then be declared as the Pirate King, and after this, he will have to take action against the World Government. This is going to be a big setup for the greatest war in the entire series, which Oda has teased previously to be so big that Marineford will look like child's play in comparison.
The Great War Arc Of One Piece
The Great War Will Shake The Entire World In One Piece
Finally, after the conclusion of the Laugh Tail arc, fans will most definitely see the story continue toward the Great War. This Great War will be fought when Luffy finds out everything, and he will know what to do with the Ancient Weapons as well. This Great War will have begun in full force, and other factions, such as the Cross Guild, and the Revolutionary Army, among others, will also join here. There will be a big war the likes of which have never been seen before in the One Piece world, and this war will dwarf every expectation that fans have from it.

Potentially, individuals such as Blackbeard might also be tackled here, and that is absolutely massive. Overall, the enemy in this war is going to be the Celestial Dragons, and the goal is going to be to rip them from their thrones. Imu is most definitely going to be the ultimate villain of this arc, and Luffy will be the one to deal the telling blow to them. Once the World Government and the Celestial Dragons are dealt with, then, a new world can be built.
The Post-War Arc Of One Piece
A New World Will Finally Arise In One Piece
Finally, after the conclusion of the Great War, the world of One Piece will change greatly, and with that, a new world order is likely to begin. Fans do not yet know how exactly Oda will shape the world after the war is over, but they should expect the unexpected at this point. All this is going to be tackled in the post-war arc, and this will most likely be the Final Arc of One Piece, where Oda ties every string up and concludes the story for good.
One Piece is available to read via Viz Media. The series can be read by the fans officially and for free on the Shonen Jump and the Manga Plus app. The release date for the next chapter of One Piece, One Piece 1117, is set to be June 17, 2024.
