Yeah, that's always a problem. A series like Naruto or One Piece that has a large cast of characters that are never seen can get quite tiresome, but, then again, a series with a large cast of character that are often seen, but hold little actual interest (Negima or Bleach, for example) can be just as annoying. It is definitely a thin line that the author has to walk, between having the audience hold interest with a select group of characters without wondering what is happening to all the other characters introduced, and showing a large cast of characters but making all of them interesting.

557 spoilers may arrive any moments now, I expect them come by tomorrow.
It's going to be awesome, I just wish I would have will power to not spoil myself and save all suprises for actual chapter but I still need more training... |

And One Piece ending? Nope, Oda hinted that we are merely half way there. |

You shouldn't trust those hints of his. He said the same thing after both the Skypeia arc and Water 7/Enies Lobby arc, so yeah. Oda is not very good at approximating how long something will take . Are we past half way in the story? He himself is not even too sure about that.

It makes me worried that so many great mysteries has been solved in just one arc like Crew Whitebeard's powers and Akainu/Kizaru.Dragon may jump into this anytime and Blackbeard may get himself a Pluton/Poseidon soon...
But at least Luffy still has to make his way to Raftel to achieve his main goal and he will never make his way to Raftel in such short time.I cant see the end of OP so far, Instead we may get some new BB,WB,Dragon style power bosses for this other side of world soon.Maybe that guy with eye patch Oda promised... |

Gosh, another break? I hope it at least does not end up like D.Gray-man all over again. (Not that I blame the author...)
Who said One piece was ending? That's blasphemy! Unless we get near the end of the grand line, it aint over till its over... Give or take another decade or two? |
