Message for One Piece Community: 

Hi, I'm just a random OP fan.

I started watching OP as a kid, had a falling off, eventually watching it once again during my adulthood, & fell in love with the One Piece World Oda-Sensei has created.

One Piece has impacted my life so much that I have probably watched it over 4 times in a row, & constantly share my love of One Piece with my family and friends.

I truly believe One Piece is one of the most important pieces of literature in Humanity, not only for the historical & political parallels Oda-Sensei has managed to introduce into the Manga, but more importantly because it has the strange effect of bringing people together from all across the world for a good laugh & an intense cry.

This is why I am asking the One Piece community to sign this petition to ask the community, Shonen Jump & especially Oda-Sensei to consider taking a 2 year break from releasing One Piece chapters.

It probably sounds insane to think about such a long break, but I believe Oda not only deserves it, but truly needs it to regain control of his physical, mental & spiritual health.

Oda-Sensei is such an inspiration for the world, we often call him ''the Goat'', and have placed him in this pedestal as some sort of Super Human for being able to create such a timeless adventure, but in reality, he is just like us, a human being.

I remember one moment in time Oda shared in an interview that he wishes to spend more time with his family, since then, it has hurt my soul to to see him sacrifice most of his life writing/drawing One Piece without the chance to properly see his children grow, it makes me realize how much we take for granted the One Piece Manga.

Don't get me wrong, in no way am I trying to imply that Oda has lost his love of One Piece and is just forcing himself to finish the story, on the contrary, the whole community knows there isn't anyone who loves One Piece more than Oda, & I am 100% sure Oda could ask for as much time he needs to get better and Shonen-Jump would agree, but it is no secret that one of Japanese cultural challenges is living in a non-stop working environment.

I am not Japanese, so I'll probably never be able to understand what it takes to become successful in such a working environment where taking a break is socially frowned upon, there is probably a subconscious gut feeling Oda-Sensei feels whenever he takes a break, as if he is slacking off.

I don't believe a 2 week or 1 month break actually does anything for his overall health, when you take into consideration everything Oda-Sensei is involved in One Piece-related, like the anime, Netflix show, card game, video games, novels, interviews, movies, conventions, etc.

I genuinely don't think Oda-Sensei has even been able to properly grieve the death of his beloved friend/Sensei Akira Toriyama, another Master that inspired the world & with Goku's journey discovering the Dragon Balls.

If anything, I think Oda needs to take a break, not just for his health, family, friends & community, but for the world of One Piece; It's no easy feat to make an ending for a life project, Oda needs to regain control of his physical, mental & spiritual health & be in his prime health & process absolutely EVERYTHING he has written about One Piece, so he may be able to create an ending for One Piece he is personally satisfied with.

THE ONE PIECE!!!!!! THE ONE PIECE IS REAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have waited over 20 years to find out what the One Piece is, what's a silly 2 years with no chapters for us, am I right?

I ask the community to sign this petition so we may see Oda write the ending of One Piece he's wanted to share with us for so long, rather than experience a bittersweet ending where we are aware Oda-Sensei is suffering in so many ways behind the scenes.

Even Luffy needed to train and regain his strength after the loss of his brother Ace, & he's actually a god-like being! 

Message to Oda-Sensei:

I just want to say Oda-Sensei, even though I may never meet you, I don't need to; I'm eternally grateful to you for sharing your Romantic Pirate story with all of us.

I want to remind you one of the most valuable lessons Master Roshi taught Goku:

''Move well, study well, play well, eat well, rest well - That is the turtle master way!''  -Akira Toriyama

& one last thing Mr. Oda-Sensei,

Ganbare, Oda-Sensei.............GANBAREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
