Eiichiro Oda’s plot often follows the pattern of ‘Life comes to a full circle.’ With the Straw Hat captain dying, it would end One Piece in the same place it began – the death of the Pirate King. On top of that, several years were taken away from Luffy’s lifespan by Emporio Ivankov’s hormone alteration ability. Emporio Ivankov used his special ability to give him extra energy that diminished his life span. Moreover, he used it twice, which took 20 years of his life.

The first time, he used it to save him from Magellan’s poison. The second time was during the Paramount War. Another reason is Monkey D. Luffy’s Gear Second. In Gear Second, he maintains unimaginable speed by making his heart beat faster. It is a forceful method that lessens his life by making the heart work more within a short period. The One Piece fans have also pointed out these points on Reddit.

Eiichiro Oda has created a massive world brimming with mysteries. Even though One Piece has entered the Final Saga, it will be a few years until everything concludes. Oda sensei has several things left to do. From writing the Final War, putting up a proper end, revealing One Piece, and revealing answers to every mystery. Tying up the loose ends might be even longer than the fans think.

It is not confirmed which Straw Hat will die. But if it is indeed Monkey D. Luffy, the fans have time to enjoy him to the fullest. Luffy has a dream that is yet to be revealed. The moment he achieves it, Eiichiro Oda might reveal everything to the fans. For the moment, everyone is bracing themselves for the war. They are keeping their fingers crossed and praying for the Straw Hat Pirates’ wellbeing.

One Piece can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
