"Something grim" is reportedly about to happen in the upcoming "One Piece" episodes. Spoilers and predictions point to what is dubbed the "greatest war," which was said to have been predicted by Heart Pirates Captain Trafalgar D. Water Law (Trafalgar Law) and Whitebeard Pirates Captain Edward Newgate (Whitebeard). Meanwhile, more details about the "One Piece" movie set for 2016 have been revealed, as the official website for the film has been launched.
According to Movie News Guide, Chapter 801 of "One Piece" is set to make way for the "greatest war" in the series, which is said to be among the consequences of the 5600-men alliance. This is reportedly based on Chapter 800, which mentioned a "pivotal moment" resulting in a great event.
Various fans who posted their Chapter 801 predictions on Manga Helpers believe that the great war is imminent, as the last "pivotal moment" mentioned on 800 is reportedly the defeat of Whitebeard Pirate 2nd Commander Portgas D. Ace (Gol D. Ace or Fire Fist Ace). This event is believed to result in the said Great War. It is also believed that Straw Hat Grand Fleet's appearance in the war was hinted in the ending narration, which is said to have been foreshadowed by Law and Whitebeard.
According to Design & Trend, "One Piece" creator Eiichiro Oda had previously hinted the "massive war" in an interview, where he said that the last chapter would be "amazing" and would "make the Marineford arc look like nothing."
Meanwhile, Venture Capital Post reports that the "One Piece" 2016 movie will involve creator Oda in the production. According to the report, Oda's involvement in the upcoming film will be just like his works on the previous "One Piece" films, "Strong World" and "Film Z."
