[POTENTIAL MANGA SPOILERS] How Many More Arcs in One Piece?

zanekin

I'm really interested in where we might go after Wano and how many places/arcs we have left to visit. Will we see the Schichibukai fighting the military? Or is that something that will be off-screened? It seems like a lot of combat is being off-screened for the sake of pacing and helping wrap up the story. Hopefully, the anime can fill in the rest of these fights we would all love to see. I think after Wano we're more than likely going to do something with Sabo and the revolutionaries. Personally, I despise the idea of Sabo being captured and going through another Ace rescue type arc but this time with the crew (and probably fleet) in tow. Maybe it could work as it would be different for Luffy to actually have his squad with him this time and he'd presumably succeed (Sabo isn't dying). So maybe the invasion of Reverie arc next? Used to think we'd see an arc focused on bringing Big Mom down but it's feeling like whatever happens with her might be settled in this arc. Even though I do still believe we need to visit Elbaf... Thoughts?

I’d say one or two? It really depends on how Oda wraps up Reverie, and if he allows Kidd/Law to take down Big Mom in Wano (I would personally be okay with this if it were to happen because I want to get to Shanks/Blackbeard) Thinking about what we need to reach Laugh Tale, it’s the Road Poneglyph that’s supposedly on Wano (which has not been seen yet), and the fourth road Poneglyph which has not been located yet. Once we reach Laugh Tale, there’s probably one more arc to go? The entire New World is in chaos at the moment, so the race to the Pirate King throne might end up being a straight up bloodbath rather than a series of self-contained arcs, but we’ll see what Oda does.
