harder and harder to make out fine details, so if

-Elichiro Oda, 2020

iichiro Oda began his manga career at the age of

17, when his one-shot cowboy manga Wanted!
won second place in the coveted Tezuka manga
awards. Oda went on to work as an assistant to
some of the biggest manga artists in the industry,
including Nobuhiro Watsuki, before winning the

Hop Step Award for new artists. His pirate

adventure One Piece, which debuted in

Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997, quickly became

one of the most popular manga in Japan.

Story -#5tu+

After two years of hard training, the Straw Hat pirates are back together, first at
the Sabaody Archipelago and then
through Fish-Man Island to their next stage: the New World!

Luffy and crew disembark on Wano for the purpose of defeating Kaido, one of the
Four Emperors. They begin to
recruit allies for a raid in two weeks’ time, But Kaido’s side finds out, and the
plan is in peril. With great effort, the
alliance rebounds and gathers members to await the day of the raid. But on the big
day, the Straw Hats are a

no-show because of Orochi’s schemes.

Twenty years ago, Orochi and Kaido set a trap that cost Kozuki Oden his life. In
order to avenge his death, the
Red-Scabbards rush into battle rather than waiting for the Straw Hats to arrive.
But they were shocked by what
they learned next!! Kanjuro, whom they believed was their companion, was actually a
spy for Orochi!! The rest of
the samurai are stunned, but then Luffy appears at last...

Q: Odiacchil! I have a question. Who has a longer

head, Fukurokuju or Vice Admiral Strawberry?
I can't get any sleep at night until I learn the
answet.
--Kaikai
A: | think you aan tell By comparing them.
The answer is Strawserry. They say

his head Grows with every sadness he's

experienced.

Q: You've been drawing personifications of swords

lately, but I'd like to see a human version of Luffy's

straw hat now! Thanks for obliging!
--Akimasa

A: Ahh, that's a new wrinkle.

But as you know, I'm
very GOOd at capturing
their spirit. Look, this one
even has the scars left By
Buaey! >

Q: Oda Sensei!! My question is, why is

the Kozuki Clan despised in modern

Wano? I would have thought that
Shinobu cleared his reputation with the
public...

--Y.U.

A: Everyone who Believes in and

follows the Kozuki Clan was
purged By Orochi and Kaido. They
Brainwashed the next Ggeneration
of children such that everyone in
the capital follows Orochi. Basically,
it comes down to pressure and
Brainwashing. These are BIG things
that cause proslems in the real
world, even today. Seary!

SBS Question Corner

(Mito, Shiga)

Q: Dear Odacchi!! Is it true that you'll quit drawing One Piece in five years?
If true, it really hurts the fans to have that
knowledge made public!! Lots of my fellow fans
were crying at the sudden news! What's the big
idea?! But most of all, I really want you to get
your rest and relax!

--pari_bentham
A: Okay. It's Not sO Much that I'm
“Quittina’ as that the series will end when I've finished
drawing the most exciting part of Luffy's adventures,
which is the Bia story of what the One Piece is. But right
now were in a really exciting story in the land of Wano,
But if Luffy manages to survive and sail away, I'll Be drawing
major international developments, the "Biagest Battle in
One Piece history,” which will Be a thrilling and wild story
the likes Of which No one's read Before. It'll Be areat!! So |
put out a statement indicating that this very long story is
actually MOVING toward an ending, so that you readers can
Mentally prepare yourselves. But for now, we're in Wano
and it's really heating up, sO sit Back and enjoy it. I'll draw with
all of my strength

Q@: Hello, Oda Sensei! I recently ate the Itch-

Itch Fruit, Model Crotch. Now I'm itchy. R G
--Emu Fantasy
A: Got it. Next Question.
Q: Here's that baked iron you ordered, sir.
--Katahajime
A: Ahh, finally! Nothing like a GOOd Baked iron in the winter!

The Best part is that you can eat them in one Bite.

SBS Question Corner

1 (Buchonosuke, Tochigi)

Q: Are all of the Gifters able to transform between animal form and x
human form freely? Or does it depend on the fruit?

--Kenkichi

A: It depends on the fruit. Smile fruits are erown

artificially, so they're unstaBle in every way. They
will Get animal strength, But the facet that you
see them fighting with the lion on their stomach
or eaten constantly By their hippo should serve as
evidence that they can't completely control the
animal part. Many of them are very strona, But in
short, Smile fruits are a Big gamBle.
Q: Huh? Does nobody want to see what Sanji would look like at age ‘i
40 and age 60? Then I guess I'll ask! Can you draw what Chopper
will look like in the future?! Pleasel!
