The final saga ofOne Piece, which began with the Egghead Island arc, has elicited varied sentiments amongOne Piecefans. While some fans are happy with the narrative finally opening up some of the foreshadowed mysteries that have been hidden for decades, others are conflicted by the fact that their favorite series is soon going to end.
However, the potential ofOne Pieceis not limited to a single story. Oda’s genius and creative inclusion of multiple plots over the course of almost 30 years have made it easy for the manga creator to come up with the idea of a new spin-off or sequel ofOne Piece. These plots have so much potential that they can keep the franchise going for another 30 years.
Recently, a popularOne Piecefan account shared a post talking about eight different spin-offs that Oda can work on afterOne Pieceends. These spin-offs are based on the backstories and journeys of many fan-favorite characters like Monkey D. Garp, Gol D. Roger, Mihawk, Monkey D. Dragon, etc.
The Potential Spin-offs That Could KeepOne PieceGoing
With over 11 sagas, 50+ arcs, and 1100+ chapters,One Pieceis one of thelongest-running storiesin history. Thus, it is understandable that over the course of thirty years, Oda has introduced multiple characters who had the potential to have a manga series of their own. And while there has been no confirmation about it, theOne Piecemangaka can take them on as future projects.

Eiichiro Oda’s Plans AfterOne PieceEnds
Although fans would love to read about all these thrilling stories, it all depends onEiichiro Odaand his plans afterOne Pieceends. The manga creator has been working on it since 1997 and he has hardly taken a break. Thus, there is a big chance that he could just hang up the sword and spend the rest of his life with his family.
However, the mangaka has also expressed his desire to work on different characters from the story.@sandman_APshared a translation of Oda’s interview in 2018, where the mangaka is seen taking an interest in the idea of depicting the stories of Garp and the other marines.
Oda stated:
There remain some characters I want to go into detail. It would be interesting if I focus on Marines. I can come up with a magnificent story about Garp. I’d like to draw some relationship and talks between him and Akainu, Aokiji, Smoker, Hina, Coby who joined Marines one after another, Commun Cypher Pol and Roger.
The manga creator also expressed interest in writing the backstory of Dragon and the Revolutionary Army. He understands that theOne Piecenarrative has the potential for a lot of spin-offs and sequels, and he himself wants to work on them.
