The Wano Arc Will Give Clues about One Piece's Secret Identity

When it comes to treasure, there is one bounty that outdoes all others. For more than two decades, fans of One Piece have been left guessing about Gol D. Roger's fabled treasure. Fans have no idea what the One Piece is, but there are a select few who do. And thanks to a recent interview, fans learned when they will find out more about the treasure.

Recently, the One Piece came up in discussion during a recent interview. The editor of One Piece Takuma Naito shared a ton of teasers about the manga's future, and it was there he connected the treasure to Wano Country.

"Wano arc is a story which is heavily related to the final chapter of One Piece," Naito said which fan-translator Sandman AP shared with fans.

"Wano arc is the most important arc that will be related to the biggest secret about 'what is ONE PIECE (as a treasure)?'"

Of course, fans were plenty surprised by this reveal. Even the interviewer admitted they were shocked by the mention and asked Naito if it was okay for him to tease such a thing. However, Naito said the series' creator Eiichiro Oda gave him permission to let the teaser slide.

Now, fans are doing their best to comb the Wano arc for clues. So far, the One Piece has not been mentioned outright, but Roger did make a brief appearance in the manga. So it seems like fans won't want to miss a single chapter of this on-going One Piece arc!

Eiichiro Oda's One Piece first began serialization in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997. It has since been collected into over 80 volumes, and has been a critical and commercial success worldwide with many of the volumes breaking printing records in Japan. The manga has even set a Guinness World Record for the most copies published for the same comic book by a single author, and is the best-selling manga series worldwide with over 430 million copies sold. The series still ranked number one in manga sales in 2018, which surprised fans of major new entries.
