Can they actually force them to write? Doesn't seem something a law would allow, it almost sounds like slavery...

In the anime it was around episode 200, anyway) to be the halfway-point. As things stand now... I cannot possibly imagine the story ending any time in the next five years.

Well I'm only at episode 18 so duno though at this point it feels like if series could finish in about 20-40 episodes
Still need to see how exactly Oda managed to expend the thing.
