In 2019, the news portal AnimeNewsNetwork (also known as ANN) published an article about the One Piece franchise, where various information was written about the manga and about the author, Eiichiro Oda. One part in particular was the origin of a story that stands to this day, a story that states that "Oda will change the ending of One Piece if the end of the story is ever leaked."
The excerpt from the article states: “Oda mentioned that he had always thought about the end of the manga since he was in college, moreover, the host of the show, Sanma Akashiya asked him what he would do if a fan deduced the ending that Oda was writing . Oda replied that he would change the development if that situation occurred. Well, now that story has turned out to be completely false, in parts.
To avoid confusion, Oda actually did say that, he expressed that he would change the ending of the story if a fan guessed it, but… During the most recent edition of the One Piece TV Talk Show, Eiichiro Oda's ex-editor Isaki mentioned that the story is not entirely true.

According to Isaki, Oda never really meant it, noting that the author has been planning the ending for a long time and that he obviously wouldn't throw all his years of planning away for as futile a reason as a fan deducing the ending. storytelling path. In conclusion, it is now evident that the story that has been spread as an absolute truth, was nothing more than a joke on the part of the author.
