Why One Piece's Poneglyph readers will be the key to the final saga
one piece The Final Saga focuses solely on the race to the Final Island, so the poneglyphs are the most important aspect of this part of the story. To get to the final island, Laugh Tale, you need 4 Road Poneglyphs. This has been officially confirmed by Nekomamushi and Inuarashi. one piece Episode 818 was officially released in the 14th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump on March 7, 2016. Currently, the Straw Hat Pirates have three Lord Poneglyphs. Meanwhile, the Blackbeard Pirates are also expected to have three Lord Poneglyphs, and Shanks took two Lord Poneglyphs from Eustace Kidd while knowing the location of the Lord Poneglyphs. Buggy doesn't have anything at the moment, but it's likely he'll get everything over time.
Once every Yonko has the Road Poneglyph, the challenge arises of having to decipher it, and this is where all of these characters become key. The Straw Hat Pirates already have Nico Robin, who can decipher the poneglyphs for Luffy. But others still require a Poneglyph leader. The Blackbeard Pirates currently have Pudding from the Cenun tribe and could potentially decipher these poneglyphs. Likewise, Hiori Kozuki, Momonosuke, and Sukiyaki himself all have this ability, so they could be key targets in the Final Saga going forward. It's not yet confirmed what Eiichiro Oda will do with these Poneglyph readers, but it will be interesting to see how things progress in the next few years and how they are integrated into the story.
