Specifically, Eiichiro Oda said that One Piece will continue and will still achieve success even without him. “There are many people involved in the production of One Piece. So, I don't have any pressure because I'm not in charge of anything other than the manga. There won't be a huge impact even if One Piece ends suddenly due to my health."
User @sandman_AP reshared author Oda's interview
Author Oda's opinion that his health may worsen in the future is not unfounded. Fans were very worried when there was information about Oda being seriously sleep deprived. This has a significant impact on the author's health.
Daily life of One Piece author
According to information revealed by Oda in a magazine interview, his "normal" daily life is summarized as follows: "Wake up at 5 a.m. and start working. Occasionally take a short break to eat lunch and dinner, then continue working and sleep at 2 a.m."
Thus, artist Eiichiro Oda had to work about 21 - 22 hours a day, 6 days a week. Eiichiro Oda can only sleep from 2 am to 5 am. Furthermore, his working hours do not decrease during holidays (except for special holidays like New Year).
Oda's terrible workload and limited rest hours make many fans worried
The problem of poor health among people working in the anime and manga industry is not uncommon. Fans only learned about this when anime and manga authors shared the difficulties of their huge workload. For example, author Yoshihiro Togashi, the father of the Hunter x Hunter series, had to pause his series for many years due to his chronic back pain.
So you know what author Oda said about One Piece if unfortunately he was no longer healthy enough to complete the series. Please continue to support the series as well as the author to respond to Eiichiro Oda's enthusiasm.
