SBS Volume 36
Water 7 mid-arc SBS. HUGE canon-leak: Shichibukai bounties are suspended (not erased) and resume when title is revoked — and Crocodile’s true (suspended-bounty) value would be at least double his 81 million = 160M+ if he were still a regular pirate. Re-keys the entire Shichibukai bounty-doctrine.
Q&A
Chapter 337, Page 26
Q: Is Pagaya’s catchphrase “I’m sorry”? Also, why? A: I don’t know. I’m sorry.
Q (C-kun): When you’re low on strength, do you use afro power as well? A: Of course. You can’t very well draw a weekly serial without using afro power. I wanna be the champion one day.
Chapter 338, Page 46
Q (Chopper LOVE): What is a “cutlass”? Is it a sword? Or a gun? A: It’s a sword. It was said to originally be a knife used for skinning animals, that eventually became a short sword that sailors (and navy men) wore. [diagram: short and wide blade]
Q (Miyama Mei): It seems that lately the “Hercules” and “Atlas” beetles are sold in normal pet shops. Adults of today could not imagine this when they were kids! A: Long ago, we could not hope to see insects from other countries. And now you can easily see them right in Japan. When you think that the reason the boys of today can see these insects in person is because today’s adults have fulfilled their dreams of bringing these bugs here, I think it’s a wonderful thing.
Chapter 340, Page 86
Q (Double-Piece): When Zoro was being scouted for Baroque Works, what did Mr. 7 look like? A: [Mr. 7: “Join meee” ← like this]
Q (Lovely Eyelashes): In Chapter 322, “Puffing Tom”, Zoro calls Sanji “Darts”. Why?
A: I had several people ask this. I don’t think he was referring to the darts themselves, but the dartboard. Because it’s all swirly. Geez! Stupid Zoro! technique/sbs-leak (Sanji’s swirly eyebrow is the joke-target)
Q (Chopper LOVE): Deer, Tanuki, Reindeer, Human. How many parts of each do you need to make a Chopper?
A: 1 part deer, 7 parts tanuki, 1 part reindeer, 1 part human, please. technique/sbs-leak
Q (Raiden-san): Is God Enel’s favorite food apples?
A: Yes. That’s right. I like them too. Oops! You weren’t asking my opinion. I like pears, too. technique/sbs-leak
Chapter 342, Page 126 — Crocodile bounty doctrine
Q (Saori-chan): When you compare Nami to the Nami in Volume 1, haven’t her breasts grown somewhat?
A: When you consider that she’s only 18, she’s still in her growth phase. She’s got more room to grow! I’ll give it my best! And Robin’s only 28! technique/sbs-leak (pre-timeskip ages canonized: Nami 18, Robin 28)
Q (Master Donuts): What are the bounties in the world of One Piece based on? Is it strength? But wouldn’t Crocodile’s bounty of around 80 million be a bit small?
A: This is a tricky question. The “Shichibukai” (Seven Warlords of the Sea) are on the government’s side, so their bounties are removed once they are accepted. So the Shichibukai’s numbers are called former bounties. Because Baroque Works was secretly formed after Crocodile became a Shichibukai, the number won’t change to reflect that. If Crocodile still had an active bounty, it would probably be at least double that of 81 million (so 160M+). technique/sbs-leak — doctrine applies to all Warlords incl. Mihawk.
Chapter 344, Page 166 — Raigō / curtain discharge
Q (crush): In Volume 32, Chapter 297, how did Luffy blow up that big zappy thing (Raigō)? And what is the “curtain” that Nami mentions? technique/sbs-leak
A: The Raigō is a mass of thunder clouds. Just think of thunder clouds as big masses of stress with electricity inside. The thunder clouds want to smash that stress into something — that’s when lightning reaches down to the ground. (e.g., “Lightning fell on that tree” or “Yamada just got hit by lightning.”) That’s called discharge. However, discharge doesn’t always have to occur outside the clouds. Sometimes the lightning starts zapping around within the clouds. This is called “curtain discharge” or “curtain lightning”. Gold conducts electricity, so when Luffy thrust that golden ball into the Raigō, the lightning all zapped through it and disappeared. But Luffy didn’t really understand what he did. It’s all OK. Today, Skypiea is at peace.
THE SBS IS OVER!!
Notable canon-leaks
- Shichibukai bounty doctrine canonized: bounties are suspended (not erased) when the title is accepted; the displayed numbers are “former bounties” frozen at the moment of accession. Re-keys all Shichibukai bounty readings as lower bounds of true threat-level.
- Crocodile’s true bounty would be 160M+ (double his 81M frozen bounty) had he stayed an active pirate. First Yonko-tier-adjacent number for a Warlord.
- Raigō destruction physics: golden ball = conductor; curtain discharge (intra-cloud lightning) is the real-world physics anchor for the Vol. 32 climax. Re-keys the Skypiea climax as electrical-engineering-grounded.
- Cutlass design locked in: short-and-wide sailor’s blade. (Visual continuity for all naval-sword characters.)
- Chopper recipe canonized: 1 deer + 7 tanuki + 1 reindeer + 1 human (joke but Oda-formal).
- Crocodile’s epithet “Mr. 0 / Sir Crocodile” Warlord-doctrine is here implicitly extended: government-aligned status converts to bounty suspension across all Warlords (pre-loads Mihawk, Doflamingo, Boa, etc. as similarly “frozen-bounty” figures).
SBS reveals (cross-linked)
- Mihawk — Shichibukai bounty-suspension doctrine applies (his pre-WG bounty is unknown and frozen).
technique/sbs-leak - Crocodile — bounty is suspended (former bounty), not erased; true active value would be 160M+ (double his frozen 81M).
technique/sbs-leak - Nami — pre-timeskip age canonized at 18 (“still in her growth phase”).
technique/sbs-leak - Nico Robin — pre-timeskip age canonized at 28.
technique/sbs-leak - Enel — favorite food is apples (Oda’s too).
technique/sbs-leak - Tony Tony Chopper — “recipe”: 1 deer + 7 tanuki + 1 reindeer + 1 human.
technique/sbs-leak - Sanji / Zoro — “Darts” insult is aimed at Sanji’s swirly eyebrow (dartboard), per Oda.
