I remember Oda said in an SBS that he has the storyline laid out until the end. I'm not too worried about him running out of ideas. The other things though, are definite possibilities. There's the freak chance that SJ could go bankrupt and have to make cutbacks, there's always the possibility. I'm not too worried about One Piece in that case. One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto are arguably the three most popular and successful manga in the magazine in terms of fanbase, merchandise, and publicity. Still, there is the chance that it could end crappily. But just think about all the manga didn't end badly, Deathnote, DBZ, I think Yu-Yu Hakasho ended well, and others. The one thing I want, regardless of the fate of One Piece, is for all the unanswered questions to be answered, like the Void Century and stuff like that. Even if it's a plot device as lame as Robin finding a tell all book about it hidden inside a hollow plank in the Sunny's hull, or Madame Shirley pops out of the water and starts spouting off answers, I'll be satisfied. For now, enjoy the ride, and let the future happen when it gets here.
