One of the biggest questions in the minds of One Piece fans after Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the hit franchise launched has always been just how long this can be expected to be around. Netflix’s One Piece goal of adapting the entirety of Eiichiro Oda’s 1,200 chapter-long manga epic could seem unrealistic. Why should someone care about this scene about Gol D. Roger’s secret son when the payoff will only happen three seasons from now? Seeing your favorite series getting canceled is a common fear nowadays, and despite One Piece‘s smashing success on the streamer, there’s no guarantee it will last for another decade (which would put the show close to the halfway point of the manga).
