SBS Volume 40
Enies Lobby SBS. Major canon-leaks: full Straw Hat color/number/smell chart (Luffy=01/red/meat through Robin=07/purple/flowers), Robin’s “Fleur” attacks are Spanish numbers + French “flower” + English class-names (Cien=100, Seis=6, Fleur=flower), Robin flashback teased for next volume (Vol 41 delivers), and the foundational Devil Fruit bathing-mechanics doctrine (sea = all standing water worldwide; hip-baths and showers are workable; rain and dripping water no effect; Crocodile showers without his powers because water disables sand specifically).
Q&A
Chapter 379, Page 46 — Franky butt-butt-chin + okama kenpo path
Q (Kuri): Hello Oda-sensei. Lately my father (age 50) has been getting obsessed with the One Piece anime, and he watches it fanatically every week. Begin the SBS. A: Aww gee… HEY!!! THE SBS IS ON!!! All right! Let’s go, then!
Q (Freddie): You know what butt-chins are, right? What kind of chin does Franky have? A: Oh. Yeah, it’s split in three. Well, two would be a “butt-chin” so I guess three is called a “butt-butt-chin”.
Q (Bon Kurei Fanclub President): My daughter hopes it’s another girl, but if it’s a boy, I intend to teach him Okama Kenpo just like Bon Kurei. Where should I take him to learn this? A: Ballet → Karate → Working at one of “those” places. Follow the steps in that order.
Chapter 380, Page 66 — Straw Hat color/number/smell chart
Q (Hyu / Daidai / Budomaru — combined): What does the 3 on Nami’s tanktop mean? What colors do you assign each main character? What does each Straw Hat smell like (per Chopper)?
A: I combined all these questions into one. Each member’s number, color and smell (according to Chopper):
| Member | Number(s) | Color | Smell |
|---|---|---|---|
| Luffy | 01, 56 (“Go-mu” rubber) | Red | Meat |
| Zoro | 02 | Green | Steel |
| Nami | 03, 73 (“Na-mi”) | Orange | Oranges (and Money) |
| Usopp | 04 | Yellow | Gunpowder |
| Sanji | 05, 32 (“San-ji”), 59 (“Co-ku” cook) | Blue | Cigarettes and Seafood |
| Chopper | 06 | Pink | ”How Should I Know?” |
| Robin | 07 | Purple | Flowers |
Chapter 381, Page 86 — Robin’s Fleur language origin + flashback tease
Q (marimo): click You BIG BOOB LOVER!!! (Ahem, pardon me.) A: Whoa. The girls are rebelling. I’m a goddamn shonen manga-ka! A MAN’S DREAM!! NEVER ENDS!!!
Q (Pe): I always wonder about that trick of Robin’s! “Cien Fleur” and “Seis Fleur” and all that! What language is that? A: Cien = 100, Seis = 6. The numbers are Spanish. “Fleur” is French for “flower.” Stuff like “Clutch” is English. It’s a big jumble, but as long as it sounds good I’m happy.
Q (Nami-n): Aren’t you going to draw Robin’s flashback? A: Look out! I barely dodged Robin’s attack. Her flashback? Sounds like a lot of readers are curious. I’m drawing it now! Yes, right now!! Which means it should be in the next volume. I’ll do my best.
Chapter 384, Page 146 — Cola fuel + Chopper RPS
Q (Shuu): Why is Franky’s fuel cola? A: COLA IS GOOD.
Q (Kachiwari-gori): Chopper squeezing his hand in a fist looks the same as it always does. Can you show us what it looks like when he does Rock Paper Scissors with his hooves? A: Chopper demonstrates Rock/Scissors/Paper in Brain Point and Walk Point.
Chapter 385, Page 166 — Wanze Ramen + nail-cutting gag
Q (Umi): Wanze can make noodles by putting flour into his mouth and they come out his nose ready to eat… but they’re raw!! Not cooked? A: My dinner every night is a bowl of deeelectable Wanze Ramen! Yaaay! I mean, no!!
Q (Green Gum Allergy): In Chapter 368, Wanze tells Sanji’s group to “eat up.” Look at his finger — his thumb’s stuck in the bowl! A: THAT’S THE WRONG PART TO COMPLAIN ABOUT!!!
Q (Basil): Does every single person in One Piece have their nails cut down to the quick?! A: WHO CARES?!! THE SBS IS OVER!!
Notable canon-leaks
- Straw Hat color/number/smell coding (canonical chart) — Luffy=01/red/meat, Zoro=02/green/steel, Nami=03/orange/oranges+money, Usopp=04/yellow/gunpowder, Sanji=05/blue/cigarettes+seafood, Chopper=06/pink, Robin=07/purple/flowers. Number-puns: Luffy 5-6 = “Go-mu” (rubber), Nami 7-3 = “Na-mi”, Sanji 3-2 = “San-ji”, Sanji 5-9 = “Co-ku” (cook). Establishes character-coding-by-number that runs through merch, anime, and later panels.
- Robin’s “Fleur” attacks decoded: Spanish numbers + French “fleur” (flower) + English class-names. Cien=100, Seis=6, Cinco=5. Etymology trifecta is intentional.
- Robin flashback explicitly teased for next volume (Vol 41 delivers — Ohara/Olvia/Saul backstory).
- Franky’s chin is canonically “butt-butt-chin” (3-way split — Oda’s term, not fan slang).
- Okama Kenpo training path canonized: Ballet → Karate → Working at “those” places (per Bon Kurei).
- (Vol 41 will deliver the Devil Fruit bathing-mechanics doctrine — Crocodile-shower question shows up Ch. 398 in this same SBS run.)
