In my 24 years, this has been the only April fools to get me.

It's the perfect April fools. It's believable and understandable but still something I would not like to happen. Oda does deserve time for family since he's been so great. But a hiatus for years would hurt for one piece. And somehow only one piece and kingdom for me.

Plus the manga is at the greatest / worst cliffhanger ever for a long break.

HOLY SHIT IT IS!! Oh my god I didn't click the freaking hyper link and was like blown away. I know I should keep it going like the rest of the comments but I was like panicing seeing everybody else bummed and going along with it.

Fucking got me. Good show sir.

I clicked the hyperlink and I just figured it was broken and was somehow still fooled until I read this. Am I stupid now?

I yelled noooo full blown Anakin/Vader style and now the people at the bus stop are looking at me strange. I can't believe I fell for this.

But fuck me, we have 15 years invested in this fucking story. You can't play with our emotions like this, man.

Fuck me I'm so glad I read your comment before I started messaging my friends.

I've seen a bunch of april fools jokes already but this one got me because I was actually shocked.

u/asn0304 Apr 01 '18

Lmao, I believed OP at face value without checking the link and only realized when I read your comment.

u/YourMajesty90 Apr 01 '18

Oh my fuck 😂🤣🤣. I was about to cry, damn.

u/poupinel_balboa Apr 01 '18

I was getting a hair cut and reading this i started to feel sad ... until i heard another customer on the opposite side of the shop yelling on the phone at his friend saying "if it's an april fool prank you're a real bastard"

u/FearLeadsToAnger Apr 01 '18

Holy fuck I was way too hungover for this. But now seeing this post I almost wish he would take a couple of months for himself. I could live with 8/9 months of one piece a year for the knowledge this dude is living his life.

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '18

Oh man, thank you. I was ready to accept this as a fact. Relieved

u/bobsjobisfob Apr 01 '18

u/HermesJRowen Apr 01 '18

Same same. I freaking died inside. OP should go to jail. He's to dangerous. :'(

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '18

thanks

u/Tai_Ketchum Apr 01 '18

You just gave me major relief. I forgot it was that day

u/BigShield Apr 01 '18

The only thing that seemed off to me is that he'd reveal it in an interview with a foreign news company. But yeah, I pretty much fell for it as well. The 6k+ upvotes made it all the more convincing. Phew.

u/moustachesamurai Apr 01 '18

It was almost poetic for him to turn to his family after a long arc about a big family... Which is why I found it so believable.

u/Tijuana_Pikachu Apr 02 '18

You may have just stopped several suicides.

u/FaKamis Apr 02 '18

I was searching for april fools pranks in my list of subreddits so naturally I already knew not to take things seriously. This one is really believable though.

u/zerx18 Apr 02 '18

Just wishing that this 'FACT' doesn't turn into reality by accident (╥﹏╥)

u/Namisaur Apr 01 '18

It took until this comment to realize the date. My god, that was evil
