It seems like the Elbaf episode of One Piece will definitely end soon. Fans could say they're already halfway through this issue. Elbaf officially started at the end of 2024 and is currently about halfway completed. Fans have just seen the conclusion of the Loki flashback, and now it's time for the final battle of this arc to begin. As the final battle begins, fans know that Elbaf will be getting close to the end and it will certainly be incredibly intense. With Elbaf coming to an end, One Piece enters its final phase, which was confirmed in Oda's recent update.
According to Oda himself, after the end of the Elbaf arc, One Piece will enter a phase where reunions will be a common theme.. These reunions will not necessarily be friendly in nature. Some, like Luffy and Shanks, will get a long-awaited friendly reunion, while others, like Shanks and Blackbeard, could be in the form of competition. Moreover, Oda said that after the Elbaf incident, Luffy and the Straw Hats will head to a place where only the Pirate King has set foot.
To the island that only the Pirate King can reach!? A man of flames appears!! Two people who have never met before finally meet!! And the two meet again!! Will next year be a full-fledged meeting festival?

Please look forward to it!!!” —Eiichiro Oda

According to Oda, the ending of One Piece is very close

Luffy's journey ends in Laugh Tale

Laugh Tale is within reach after Elbaf.
Considering that the final story of One Piece has already officially begun, it can be said that there is not much time left until One Piece is completed..
The previous saga of One Piece, namely the Four Heavenly Kings Saga, gave fans a total of four arcs, starting with the Zou arc. thus, It would be a solid guess to say that this final story will also consist of four main arcs.. With one arc already completed and one coming to an end soon, fans may have two more arcs left after Elbaf, showing that this story is now concluded.
One Piece: Oda revealed that he may change the ending of One Piece and here's why.
Oda said fans can change the ending of One Piece by doing just this. Here's what he said:
Oda has already confirmed that the arc after Elbaf is the arc in which Luffy reaches a place where only the Pirate King has set foot.This shows that he plans to end the series soon. If Luffy really reached Raftail through Elbaf, then only the One Piece Final War remains. This means the series will end sooner than fans expected.
Oda's story must be concluded by 2032
According to Oda's estimates, it can be said that One Piece will most likely be finished in about 5 years.. But it should also be remembered that Oda's assumptions are often wrong. For example, Oda previously stated that he wanted to finish One Piece by 2025. As fans know, 2025 is already over and One Piece is nowhere near over. surely, Oda's estimates are not always accurate. That means, according to his estimates, One Piece will end in 2030.In fact, fans could see the series conclude sometime in the early 2030s.
As of now, 2032 seems like a solid estimate, meaning fans still have a few years left. But that period is still not long. Because after all, the series is in the Final Saga and in this final series we get to see Luffy and the Straw Hats achieve their dreams.
We also have to remember that Oda is so old now and devoted most of his life to this series. He's been delighting fans for years, and while that run has been truly unforgettable, it has to come to an end sooner or later. When One Piece ends, it will literally be the end of an era.But that doesn't mean the franchise itself is dead.
The fans know it all too well One Piece still has tremendous potential, and Oda himself has stated that he may occasionally draw spin-off stories after the main manga ends.. Either way, fans are both excited and nervous about the conclusion of this great story.
