I think we're closer to the end than people think...Oda's editors (who know the ending) said not too long ago that One Piece was around 70% done.
But then again, Oda isn't exactly good at estimating how long the series will run considering he originally only planned for the series to last for five years. A year recruiting crewmates, three years of adventures on the Grand Line, and a year for the final arc. We see how that worked out...
I'm just looking forward to the final arc. The one Oda said would make Marineford look like a minor side storyt
When you think about it after this arc, everyone's backstory will have been told. This next arc should significantly influence where the manga goes next. Unless Oda wants to do an arc about how Zoro's eye got scratched.
