The idea of ending the series on them laughing and not knowing what the One Piece is fills me with a mix of rage, sadness and existential dread.

[@paintern10]

I genuinely got choked up at the idea of a "He laughed" panel as the final panel of one piece. It actually sounds perfect

[@ChristianGuzmanElespuru]

Oda sensei say “the One Piece is a tangible object and that its discovery will add a significant twist to the story”, so he will show us the One Piece... and maybe we lol for the biggest Troll ever

[@TheDragon2000s]

I agree with you, in fact for me the original comment is just a terrible troll

[@Radi0actvChickn]

It would feel like a cop-out honestly. Like he couldn't come up with a good enough idea for what the One Piece is. WE NEED CLOSURE

[@bendover7841]

​@@paintern10I feel the same. That's the perfect t ending.

[@AhmadKiam]

The One Piece is clearly Shanks's left arm that's why it was taken early on.

[@aurzelli]

Shanks was crying to Roger because they couldn’t get his future arm 😂

[@shadushio9682]

When we finally get the One Piece, it turns out to be just a single piece of ordinary gold. 😂

[@jackwriter1908]

No way man, it's a cheap plastic trophy on which is written _congrats you got first_ and nothing more

[@bendover7841]

No, it's a gate to the dark continent. Oda will continue HxH from there.

[@SUPERVEGETTO92]

Ironically enough, that single piece of gold could be sold to collectors for thousands of times its actual value just for being connected to Rogers legacy.

Because that kind of character would fit in the family. The serious dragon does not fit to the likes of Luffy or Garp (If he really is Garps biological son)

[@Subpar1O1]

I'd love Dragon being this incredibly serious guy but in reality he's just as stupid as his son and father, but he's just better at hiding it

[@NimmelTheGreat]

I honestly seriously think that the One Piece is just another step on a longer adventure. Roger knew he couldn't keep going so when he got to the end of the line and found another piece of the puzzle he stepped aside and let someone else take the next steps. He laughed because he got to the final part of the adventure and realized it was just the beginning.

One Piece X: The space adventure.

[@TheComediAnimal]

One correction I think needs to be made: there is NO way Oda watches theory channels. He's definitely watching "Bad takes" videos, and whatever takes make him laugh the hardest he will find a way to work into the story!

[@illumikachu3882]

Here is why I am not a fan of the ending where luffy just laughs: It would just be another way for oda to say "the real treasure were the friends we made along the way / was the journey", wich I think is something that the entire one piece community can agree on would be a let down. I want to see the straw hats laughing though.

[@j.b.5422]

Besides, without a fake treasure to contrast the real one, that saying doesn't mean anything

[@vojtechtesar5767]

Actually the "One Piece s the friend we made along the way" would not be terrible. If Oda didn´t hype up the treasure so much (and if Whitebeard didn´t confirm that OP is real), it could work better than if the treasure was, for example, another ancient weapon. Sometimes ideas are more important than objects in a story.

[@legsdbiqw738]

@@vojtechtesar5767no

[@zhixci958]

The treasure would be the easy part, the hard part to imagine is what story would be told in laugh tale that would actually make everyone laugh.

[@mehulnagle758]

One Piece should end without Oda telling what One Piece is. But the final page should be "You want the end of One Piece? You can have it! I left the final chapter and everything unanswered in one place. Now you'll just have to find it."

[@KirbyFanDude]

This is what I want it to be

[@qjc1142pigs]

Man I guess Kaku was hiding on the ship durring thriller bark. It’s impressive he snuck in to fight persona. I didn’t realize he was also so negative.

[@PikaPenny17]

He's negative because he's sad that no one else sees the strength of Giraffes. Relatedly, boy he must be strong to be able to swim despite having a devil fruit.

[@Bukssy_]

I am so scared of finding out what the One Piece is because after so many years of anticipation it may end up disappointing us. But knowing Oda it will blow everybody’s minds.

I don’t mind if the story ends with them laughing and not actually seeing the One Piece… but if Brook doesn’t see Laboon in the story and it’s implied he does afterwards, I’m gonna be mad.

[@AshyMuted]

I honestly think just having the crew laugh without showing the One Piece is the most satisfying way to make the reveal work. I don't doubt that Oda is cooking something up, but this would definitely be the safest way.

[@jackarthur4673]

Just saying we've never actually seen Luffy wear boxers only shorts even when he was stripped in Amazon Lily. Also this pairs well with the meme that nami and robin don't wear knickers. At this point I wouldn't be suprised if more strawhats go commando than not commando and Frankie shows his underwear to make up for it 😂

[@taflo1981]

The sole reason Nami and Robin have always refused to show Brook their panties is because they never wear any.

[@CineThumper-qm6vs]

The laughing ending of One Piece would be the manga version of the ending of The Sopranos.

[@IlyaKokoev]

To be fair, Caribou do add dynamism in the story. He's like a Jack-in-the-box (or a barrel) - the spring became tighter and tighter.

[@glasses685]

Here's a take I saw elsewhere that I agree with...Luffy's "True Dream" is to be able to eat for free anywhere in the world. That's his whole motive for being Pirate King and what he means when he talks about being the more free person in the world. Free to eat anywhere in the world...

[@anonymousname5860]

I will say this: I think all the fake out deaths Oda does ARE really impactful when someone actually dies and you expect them to get through and they don’t.

[@HoleLottaLuck]

If we do the closeup of Luffy laughing to end the story, can we do a Loony Tunes exit?

Oda saying five more years forever is one of the biggest examples of the Mandela effect I have ever seen. He never did that. He started by saying 5 years, yes, nut that was before the ifea of the sichivukai came around. Then He said ten years. Then eight. Then seven. Then five. And so on. Yes He has gone way past those set limits, but he never did the '5 more years' thing. That is entirely made up by fans

Caribou is actually a good character. You hate him because he is written to be hated, but he's unironically one of the most important characters introduced post timeskip. Edit: This isn't even a bad take. It's just frusratingly true.

[@gaminginvirinch3339]

But he hasn't done anything to make me hate him, right? Did he succeed in kidnapping the mermaid? No. The only time he proved useful was during the events in Wano. Wapol, Mr. 3, and Spandam, on the other hand, were intentionally crafted to be despised. Caribou isn't a character that elicits hate. Even Crocodile had qualities that made him hateable in terms of his character development.

[@thomasdahlberg5920]

@gaminginvirinch3339 He's hated not because of the things he successfully does, but the things he aspires to do. This guy has a legitimately useful power if used for good. Instead, he tries to use it to steal a bunch of treasures, kidnap mermaids, and generally be a scumbag. If he was competent, he'd be less hated, I guarantee it, but he's essentially just this scummy, slimy (literally) punching bag that they didn't need to keep around. The ONLY reason he's important to the story is because he's so crap at being a bad guy that they didn't pay attention to him and let him overhear two of the biggest secrets in the world. But that's not him being competent. That him being so shit that they don't even notice him anymore.

Hey, I just discovered you. I love your humour, your naturalism and freestyled (idk what that means either) way of talking making your videos feel like genuine conversations I’m having with a friend, your love for one piece and your hair, so I thought I’d subscribe. My favorite take here was the one about Charlos being a hero, not because I like it, but because I think it’s the embodiment of a truly *bad* take Anyway, here’s my bad take for fun: … Um… I can’t find one, sorry.

[@slashermaster28]

9:50- Agreed. I actually thought he was a fun villain. I'd love to see him make a comeback. I can see it, he'd arrive with his crew, laughing about how he found the location of the One Piece only to get his butt handed to him in seconds by the more powerful foes.

These tales are hilarious. Especially the one about Oda not knowing what the one piece is 😂😂😂

[@ADudeWhoDo]

When Oda said that the one piece is not the friends we made along the way, he actually meant that the one piece is the ENEMIES we made along the way, meaning that the major enemy of every arc will join the cross guild and become luffy’s one piece (including Foxy, Arlong, Don Kreig, axe hand Morgan, captain Kuro, Wappol, Captain Smoker, Bellamy, cp9, etc.) and because Buggy is the leader of the cross guild he will therefore be the one piece.
