User blog comment:Joekido/One Piece newspaper: Oda's health/@comment-24769684-20160720222234

I'll always hate the breaks, but this interview at least gives me more understanding. And I don't want this manga to end anytime soon, as there's no real indication as such, since Oda doesn't even know how Kaido will be defeated (which probably means the same for Big Mom, which does pose some interesting questions as to whether she will even be defeated).

If absolutely nothing extremely new is introduced, then here's the path I think will happen: Yonko Saga ends with Kaido defeated and Big Mom somehow indisposed. The Sanji retrieval team is supposed to head straight to Wano after rescuing Sanji, but no way this saga is ending soon. I'd give it until about Chapter 1000. Then there's Weevil, Elbaf, the last Road Poneglyph, and possibly Moon stuff that could come anywhere. Then after that would be the discovery and final war with Blackbeard and the World Government.

I also wouldn't want Oda to quit doing art. Part of the reason why One Piece is my favorite manga is that both the story and art are amazing. Also, Oda seems to really like drawing, and really is only at this point because of his deep love for making manga, so I highly doubt he would ever just want to merely write.
