Rumors started when One Piece covers its latest episode; One Piece Episode 763 entitled "The Truth Behind the Disappearance! Sanji Gets a Startling Invitation!" covers the chapter 813 of the manga series and the most recent chapter is chapter 845.

These speculations state that since the anime series is losing chapters to cover a possibility of the franchise cancellation will happen. But, the production team hasn't confirmed yet if the rumors are true. Could it be a possibility of a hiatus? Since the animated series is catching up on source materials so fast it could be a possibility of putting the show on hold or a permanent stop. Yet, if the show proceeds with a temporary stop, a possible filler episode will be created.
