One Piece thread (Spoilers)

Hopefully he lives another 3 years for him to be able to flesh out the story on his own so it will be easier for his successor team to fill in the gap. Do we know what he's sick from or is it just over work?

I don't think we know (He'd keep that stuff a secret like most people) , but he's supposedly a heavy chain smoker/drinker, which probably isn't doing him any favours.

edit: also, it might not affect this weeks chapter which is probably already at print by now, but we'll see.
