Q&A

Chapter 1134, Page 28

Q (Reader): Oda-sensei: “We’re starting the SBS!!” while sticking my tongue out. Okay, now straight to the point. Why does Nika hide his face when he laughs? P.N. Chopper! I love him ♡

(Translator’s Note: Written in a child’s handwriting.) A (Oda): Hey!! Don’t stick your tongue out!! That’s bad for an eight-year old!! The SBS has started, and I haven’t seen anyone stick out their tongue like that in decades. This is harassment from the inside of the lower eyelid (the lower conjunctiva) and the upper part of the tongue (the tongue dorsum)!! It’s “akahara”!! When Nika laughs~? It’s a hilarious expression that was used in old anime!! That’s all. You can find it easily, just search on YouTube!!

(Translator’s Note: “Akahara” is a term Oda invents here, by combining “red” [“aka”] with “harassment” [“hara”]) Q (Reader): Vegapunk’s cousin Vegapants is apparently on Pants Hazard, but what kind of island is that and what’s he like? P.N. Uraneko

A (Oda): Oh. I know that very well. Vegapants is the son of Vegapunk’s father’s younger brother, and he lives on Pants Hazard, an island south of Baldimore with a culture where all the residents wear women’s underwear on their heads. He has an earnest and cheerful personality, but the island as a whole is set apart from the rest of the world. How nostalgic…

Chapter 1135, Page 46

Q (Reader): Hello Oda-sensei! I’m a boy who will be entering my first year of middle school this year. I have a question for you. I’m currently obsessed with ONE PIECE. I like Kizaru. My father has the first 82 volumes of the manga and I’m reading through them. I’d like to get him to buy volumes 83 and onwards. Do you have any good strategies? Please teach me. P.N. Yakiniku no Yota

A (Oda): I want to buy them for you!! I want to buy one for all the boys who read the manga without flinching at the fact that it’s over 100 volumes!! But that’s not realistic, so go with the “shoulder massage strategy”!! There is no parent who wouldn’t love to have their shoulders massaged by their child!! Volume 82 is where Momonosuke vows to avenge his father. With his shoulders and heart relaxed, you should say Father, I want to defeat Kaidou!!! That will do it!!!

Q (Reader): Odacchi! I was surprised to see all those strange animals from the movie Strong World appearing one after another in the Elbaph Arc! I really like the idea of bringing them into the main story! P.N. 420 Land

A (Oda): That’s right. A lot of the animals I designed for the movie appear in Elbaph. Well, it’s a pain to think of something new… but, I originally created those animals with the theme of “what would happen if living things evolved in a world where strength is everything”, so it was actually pretty easy… well, I thought that animals from a country of warriors would be the same, so I included them! It’s not like it was too much of a pain to think of something else, okay!!

Chapter 1137, Page 82

Q (Reader): Am I Shirahoshi’s type? P.N. Koppa Mijinko

A (Oda): I can’t deny it!!! But I know!! Shirahoshi’s future!! Q (Reader): The characters featured in chapter 1122 are that legendary pirate crew, right?! PN. Koedo-kun

A (Oda): Hmmm!! That’s right!! Where on Earth did you find out about that? Lol. And how do I explain this? Lol. If you’re interested, please search the Internet! It was over 25 years ago for a certain Jump project, where I designed Hippie the Skull Curry, -sensei of ** designed Scimitarta, and -san of ** designed Hiro Gomon, and they formed a pirate crew.

Q (Reader): Is the man with sunglasses in chapter 1096 Gill Bastar? P.N. Kiri

A (Oda): Yes. It’s a Hidden Character Discovery Contest! Lol. Gill Bastar is the main character of a manga I drew when I was 17 years old. How do you know that!! Lol. So, Gill Bastar, a member of the Rocks Pirates, later had his body recovered by Gecko Moria, and he also appears in chapter 450 in the Thriller Bark Arc. It’s something you don’t need to notice!!

Q (Reader): In the 28th SBS, you said your record for eye-popping was “18 Yaaarghs”. What’s your current record for eye-popping? Did you beat the world record? P.N. Yomogimaru

A (Oda): Let me explain. When I draw manga, I make the same faces as the characters, so I was asked “Does that mean your eyes pop out?” I answered, “18 Yaaarghs”. Apparently, the world record is “84 Yaaarghs”. I’m currently drawing Nika. That means I’ve set an unprecedented record of “222 Yaaarghs”! Thank you!!!

Chapter 1139, Page 114

Q (Reader): Odacchi!! Hello!! Was the “Left Hand of the Pirate King” Scopper Gaban’s name inspired by ? I used to watch it on TV when I was little. P.N. Broken Beaver’s Tooth

A (Oda): Oh, you’re from the same generation as me, haha. A lot of people have said this, but it’s not correct. I love old movies, and sometimes I borrow the names of old actors. There’s a famous French actor, , who’s a really cool guy, and I borrowed the name from him.

(Translator’s note: “Gaban”, “Gavan”, and “Gabin” are all spelled the same in Japanese. Coincidentally, despite Oda’s denial of Space Sheriff Gavan as inspiration, it was also named after Jean Gabin.)

Q (Reader): What was Gaban’s position in the Roger Pirates? P.N. Kei

A (Oda): Ehhh. Well, since the Roger Pirates were already introduced in SBS Volume 96, I’ll just cover the key executives.

Q (Reader): I really love the atmosphere of the town on Elbaph!! Were there any countries or towns used as models? Pen Name “Hinasuke”

A (Oda): I’m happy, because it took quite a while to design Elbaph. Thank you! Of course, the model is the buildings from the era of Viking in Scandinavia, and I imagined the culture and topography from there! It’s the same village as in volume 86, but I drew it at an angle so it wouldn’t be out of place and it wouldn’t reveal it was on top of a huge tree.

Chapter 1140, Page 132

Q (Reader): Hello Oda-san!! What exactly are the Dosundada!! Are they a hybrid race of giants and dwarves!? (Or perhaps ancient giants and dwarves) P.N. Negizairu

A (Oda): Just a bit off! The correct answer is a hybrid of a human and a dwarf. The dwarfs’ name “Tontatta” comes from the cute sound of their footsteps, but when it’s a bit louder, that becomes “Dosundada”. A hybrid of a giant and a dwarf is called a “Zushindodo”. They’re extremely rare.

Q (Reader): Hello Odacchi!! Since Ripley and Gerd’s b*easts are giant-sized, could they be called “W” (WORLD) Cups? P.N. Tsubasa-maru

A (Oda): That’s great!! So stupid!! Lol, it’s stupid but the best! Let’s go with that!!! Well, I’ve been getting a lot of questions about that. If you do the math, the bust size of a giantess woman would be over 6m (19’8”). What cup size is that? I don’t know!! But then… Tsubasa-maru!! Let’s go with that. All giantess women have ""-cup breasts!!

Q (Reader): Stop it, Oda-sensei!!! You pervert!!! P.N. Yutan

A (Oda): No, it’s a false accusation!! You’re the ones who keep sending me questions like that!

Q (Reader): Let’s start a healthy SBS!! P.N. Exam-taker Yoshimichi

A (Oda): Right!! Let’s do that, Yoshimichi! Let’s set the stage, everyone. Now, for the next question.

Q (Reader): After reading One Piece, my mind is always filled with thoughts of Nami’s breasts. P.N. Sanadacchi

A (Oda): Be quiet!! Sanada!!!

Chapter 1141, Page 150

D: Odacchi!! I want to see Gerd and Goldberg as children!

A (Oda): Alright. I received a lot of questions about the New Giant Warrior Pirates and their childhoods, so I’ll summarize them all here. {| class=“wikitable” !Image !Name !Occupation !Height !Age

Chapter 1143, Page 188

Q (Reader): Odacchi! Why is Gunko always walking around in panties!!!! Pen Name “Mochi-n Pudding”

A (Oda): Well, I understand what you mean about them being panties. They’re similar, but if it is underwear, then Gunko would seem like a pervert, right? But no, it’s different. Remember Nami and Bonney’s outfits on Egghead? It’s a type of fashion where the hem of the jacket is extended. In fact, it reduces the amount of skin showing! So it’s okay to show that! How rude!

Q (Reader): Since Imu’s first person pronoun is “mu”, Oda-san’s must be “da”! P.N. Kei

A (Oda): Ah, that’s true. So that’s how it works!

*‘D: Did you know that the reason the *One Piece” serialization is “growing” more than Odacchi expected is because Luffy’s Awakened abilities are affecting those around him? Pen Name “noriEZT52”

A (Oda): Ehhhhh!! Damn it!! So that’s what happened!! Damn Luffy!! “Da” won’t forgive you!! “Da” will never forgive you!!

(Translator’s Note: Oda is using the made-up first person pronoun “da”, as suggested by the previous asker.)

Q (Reader): How is the “voice-recognition” Den Den Mushi next to Loki different from other Den Den Mushi? P.N. Polaris

A (Oda): Yes. So. Loki’s body is restrained, right? The reason he can answer the Den Den Mushi even though he can’t use his hands is because the Den Den Mushi can understand a little bit of human language and can connect the call. It can also be used to make calls, like saying “Hey, Siri!!”

Ah!! It’s time!! See you in the next volume~~~~!!
