So here's how I would distribute the seasons in the One Piece TV series:

- Season 1, Romance Dawn: Villa Fuksia, Orange Town, Syrup Island, Arlong Park, Logue Town,...
- Season 2, Baroque Works: Laboon, Whisky Peak, Little Garden, Drum, Alabasta
- Season 3, Islands in the Sky: Jaya, Skypeia
- Season 4, Trains in the Sea: Long Ring Island, Water 7, Ennies Lobby
- Season 5, Florian Triangle: Thriller Bark
- Season 6, Paramount War: Sabaody, Amazon Lily, Impel Down, Marineford, Gray Terminal
- Season 7, Reunion: Sabaody, Fishman Island
- Season 8, New World Underworld: Punk Hazard, Dressrosa
- Season 9, Wonderlands: Zou, Tottoland, Whole Cake
- Season 10, (still early to give names): Reverie, Wano

I personally think Season 1 should end with Arlong Park. Make time for more character moments.

come in my shame circle
I see you Big Mom pretending to be Goku.

Also oh man kinda wondering what will happen with Bart now that they confirmed he's in Shanks territory. I doubt Shanks himself would appear right? Could be someone lower on the tier who doesn't know or care about Luffy or know the connection.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free

Its time to hype some of the Red Pirate underlings....

To be honest the only way I can see them getting out of this is with someone sacrificing themselves to hold of Big Mom.

And it's probably going to have to be Jimbe. Maybe with asssitance from Pedro.

Yeah 20th anniversary will increase some sales, doubt the series could ever reach the sales growth with the WAR and timeskip.

Plus Pudding on the cover :p

One Piece's current (reported) sales numbers are around pre-Marineford numbers, maybe like 8% lower.

Which is still damn impressive considering that the manga industry is facing the same "printpocalypse" that the West encountered as customers shift to digital (we don't have digital sales numbers).

While One Piece celebrates its 20th anniversary, Fairy Tail ends its terrible run without any sort of commitment coming out like a wet fart that makes the ending of Bleach look passable.

And nothing of value will be lost and Veelk will be able to sleep soundly knowing that the abomination of graphic literature known as Fairy Tail will exist no more.
 
One Pieces ending will be a holiday in Japan. What is it about OP that makes it stand above all others? At it's core One Piece is shounen.

Velk will sleep well for once, than Pudding will eventually ruin it.

One Piece will actually even get the front cover of Jump when it ends.

Honestly, given how expensive this series will be to make I expect shorter seasons if it really gets made. Think Game of Thrones length, 10 episodes or so. It'd also lead to a bunch of really killer season ending cliffhangers.

Imagine season one ending on Nami betraying the crew while Luffy finishes his fight off. Or a Jaya season ending on them all being blown into the sky with first time watchers having no clue what comes next.

This is something that could easily work, if the right people were behind it and were willing to spend the money needed.

Yeah, this can't be done as a 22 episode a year network drama. It would have to be 12 episode or so seasons on a cable network with a big budget.

Ending Season 1 with Nami's betrayal would make for a really killer first season cliffhanger. Season 2 could probably end with the Whiskey Peak story and the crew finding themselves up against Baroque Works.

I was thinking more going up Reverse Mountain for the season two cliffhanger. That scene where they all put a foot on the barrel as it looks like everything's going to hell. That way you can open season three with Laboon and end with Drum Kingdom.

Mr #3 and the Okama stuff is going to need a rewrite though, otherwise it's going to cause quite a few issues.

It's surreal thinking Luffy's actually made it all the way to the big leagues.

I actually really want Luffy to fight Shanks eventually. Shit would be hype as hell.
