The race for the legendary treasure, the One Piece, has been running in the anime and manga for several years. Eiichiro Oda, the mangaka of the pirate story, has already thought about how the Straw Hats would look when they find the treasure – and if they do not get it.
What scenarios has he drawn? Eiichiro Oda depicted the Straw Hats at advanced ages in several issues of the SBS section, where fans can ask the mangaka questions. He created four different scenarios:
- At 40 years old with a bright future
- At 60 years old with a bright future
- At 40 years old with a bleak future
- At 60 years old with a bleak future
Only with Franky have the age data been pushed forward by 10 years, as he is already 36 years old.

The Straw Hats become beggars, hated fathers, and monsters
What do they look like? While the positive outlook shows the Straw Hats in a dignified state, the versions where things went wrong
are quite shabby. Many members beg for money, alcohol, or turn into a more horrible version.
You can see the images in the Reddit thread from SnooLentils5222:
Which character stands out particularly? Some Straw Hats look worse than others. For example, Sanji becomes his hated father when things go wrong, and Franky transforms into a complete battleship.
However, fans in the comments particularly notice Chopper. He is actually a sweet reindeer, but in a bleak future, he turns into a monster. It resembles the being he becomes when he eats a special Rumble Ball. He even demands a sacrifice.
What’s the current status of One Piece? Currently, the anime is on a longer break. Until April 2025, there will be a remake of the Fish-Man Island arc. After that, it will continue on Egghead Island: The One Piece anime is taking a long break, showing a 13-year-old arc as a remake
