One Pieceis nearly done with its Wano Country arc. Previously, Eiichiro Oda, the author of the story, mentioned thatonce the Wano Country arc ends, the end of the story will also be in sight. While it is true that the story will now move towards its endgame, that’s not to say that fans don’t have a bunch of arcs to look forward to.

In a series as massive asOne Piece, even the ending segment of the story is likely going to be made up of a few arcs, and there are some that have already been teased heavily by the author. With Wano’s conclusion close, these arcs are now looming large on the horizon.
Post-Wano Arc
Nearly every majorOne Piecearc hasa post-arc segment and with Wano, it is highly likely that Oda won’t miss this chance. Whether the post-Wano arc happens with Wano as a separate Act or makes up the end of Act 3, it is going to be incredibly rich in lore and information dump.
With as many as 6 Poneglyphs to be deciphered, the Straw Hat Pirates have a lot on their hands. At the same time, the information from the outside world will eventually flow in and fans will find out about the fate of the Shichibukai, and Luffy’s friends such as Vivi. The mini-arc could also cover the new bounties of the crew after the defeat of Kaido and the Beasts Pirates, making it quite an incredible arc to look forward to. SinceKaido has already lost, this mini-arc could well and truly be considered to be underway.
The Post-Reverie Arc
The Reverie started shortly after the events of the Whole Cake Island arc transpired in the world ofOne Pieceand it caused massive waves all across the world that fans are yet not aware of. The meeting saw the abolition of the Shichibukai, meaning the likes of Hancock, Mihawk, Weevil, and Buggy, would now be chased by the Navy.

At the same time,the Revolutionary Army declared their attack on the Government, making it an extremely precarious situation. Some major character seems to have died at the Reverie as well, and Sabo appears to be in some sort of danger. All this could very well be revealed to the fans shortly after the conclusion of the Wano Country arc.
Elbaf Arc
Elbaf is most likely going to be the next destination of the Straw Hat Pirates and the biggest arc following Wano. Teased as early as Little Garden, Elbaf is a land of giants and host to the strongest army in the entire world ofOne Piece. Usopp’s dreams are heavily linked to Elbaf and for him, this arc is likely going to be massive.
This arc could also seethe Straw Hat Pirates locate the final Road Poneglyphthat they need to get to the Final Island, Laugh Tale. It is highly speculated that Elbaf is where Luffy will meet Shanks after over a decade and fulfill his promise to the red-haired pirate. As with every major arc, Elbaf, too, is likely going to have some major antagonist and incredibly rich lore thatOne Piecefans can’t wait to dive into.
Laugh Tale Arc
Laugh Tale is one arc that fans can rest assured will happen at some point. This will be the arc where Luffy eventually becomes the Pirate King after finding all the four Road Poneglyphs, and obtaining theOne Piece. In this arc, the majority of the Straw Hat Pirates will complete their dreams, such as Nico Robin and possibly even the likes of Sanji.

The fans will also likely find out the truth about the World Government, the Ancient Weapons, and the Void Century itself, which makes it one of the most intriguing arcs to look forward to. The Laugh Tale arc could well be a setup for the Final War against the World Government and that makes it even more important.
Versus The World Government Arc
Following the events of the Laugh Tale arc, it is highly likely Eiichiro Oda will write the Final War against the World Government and Celestial Dragons next. This war has been alluded to since Marineford, right before Whitebeard died. In the past, Eiichiro Oda has said that this war would make even Marineford look small in scale, which is something that should excite every single fan of the series.
The Final War will likely see Luffy take down the evil Celestial Dragons and do what Joyboy and Gol D. Roger couldn’t. It is this arc where the Straw Hat Grand Fleet will likely be called into action, along with every other ally that Luffy has made along the way. Quite possibly, this could end up being the best arc in the entirety ofOne Pieceand is something that every fan should look forward to.
The Final Arc
After the fall of the World Government, a new order will likely need to be installed and this is where the final arc would come in. From the Revolutionary Army, it is quite likely that someone like Dragon would be installed as the next leader of the world, given that he’s the one who has been leading the rebellion against the Celestial Dragons for years now.
The Straw Hat Pirates will have liberated the entire world and Luffy will have accomplished what his ancestors couldn’t. Sadly, this is also likely going to be the arc where the crew disbands and goes their separate ways after a long but incredible journey together that led to seeing the all fulfill their dreams.
