In their recent interview with Deadline, One Piece executive producers Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements opened up about the series being a massive hit among the audience and  how many seasons they think that it could go on for.

When asked about the renewal of the second season, Adelstein said, "We have hopes for 12 seasons, there’s so much material." 

Replying to the same question, Clements asserted, "We’re over 1,080 chapters at this point in the manga.. We have plans with Matt Owens for how we would break multiple seasons, and I think even if we did six seasons, we would probably only use up half of the chapters of the manga. It really could go on and on and on."

In the same interview, when the producers were asked what is the best validation they have seen from fans, they said that they have seen a lot of TikTok videos, wherein fans have been showering love on the series. 

Adelstein said, "The people in the office have shown us a lot of TikTok videos of people saying ‘this is going to be awful, this is going to be terrible’. And then they brought in TikTok videos of the same people going, ‘I was so wrong, this is so good’. So real skeptics have turned around and really have praised the show and have been very happy with it and very surprised at how good it was."

Adelstein also added that the success of a series was not completely unexpected, because he really loved the series.
