One Piece Volume 113 SBS Q&A

Question: The Celestial Dragons – Saint Rosward, Saint Charlos, and Saint Shalria – what family are they from?

Answer: They are from the Rosward Family. Saint Rosward’s parents must be a bunch of idiots. Rosward’s full name is Rosward Rosward.

Question: For those who’ve been wondering – isn’t it about time we put an end to the mystery of the person seen from behind on the cover of chapter 631? I’ll just say it – is it Golden Lion Shiki? Or perhaps the “Left Hand of the Pirate King,” Scooper Gaban?

Answer: You’ve got a good memory! That is Gaban. He just can’t shake off his habit of traveling – he’s been wandering around quite a bit. He is a navigator, after all.

Question: The Akazaya Nine (Nine Red Scabbards) have each become Daimyō of their respective regions, but how were they chosen? Don’t tell me it was all Kin’emon’s decision?! As expected of Kin-san!!!

Answer: Yes. With the despised Kaido and Orochi gone, and with Oden no longer among them, his son Momonosuke has declared his rule over the Nation of Wano Country! Beben!!! Although Momonosuke’s mind is still that of an eight-year-old, of course, it’s up to the Scabbards to support him!

Here’s how Wano looks now compared to before:

Okobore Town, The Prisoner Mines, The Factories, and Onigashima. All of that is gone.

As revealed in the cover story, after much discussion among themselves, the Scabbards decided to spread out across the land as regional Daimyōs. The Flower Capital is overseen by Kin’emon (as the senior elder) and Nekomamushi (as the underworld’s boss), supporting Momonosuke. Yamato, meanwhile, is still currently learning about the world.

• Flower Capital: Nekomamushi, Kin’emon, Momonosuke
• Kibi: Denjiro
• Kuri: Inuarashi
• Udon: Raizo
• Hakumai: Kawamatsu
• Ringo: Kikunojo

Question: Hello, Oda! I was wondering since York wants to become a Celestial Dragon, does that mean Vegapunk himself, before he splits into satellites, also had at least a little desire to become one?

Answer: I see. Was this a shock? This is a different topic, but in my view, every person has big desires towards various things, and only when we have the “reason” to control those desires do we truly become “human”

If we define reason as “righteousness” (read as Shaka) then things like hatred toward the Celestial Dragons or the moral sense that tells us “you must not kill people” also come from reason. But if that’s the case, then perhaps everyone has a little “Celestial Dragon” inside them too.

That’s my extreme theory. (Please take it lightly, lol.)

My answer is: “It’s possible that within humans exists the desire to become a Celestial Dragon.”

Question: Hello, Oda-san! In the One Piece World, there are two calendars – the “Age of Sea Circle” (Kaien-reki) and the “Age of Heaven” (Ten-reki). What time periods do each of these refer to? And what year is it currently?

Answer: Ah, I see. Casual readers have probably forgotten those exist (laughs). You’re curious, huh? You’re thinking one of them must be the older calendar, right? The answer is: right now it’s year 4141 of the Age of Heaven, and year 1541 of the Age of the Sea Circle. Both are still in use. By the way, on Skypiea, everything happened roughly 400 years ago, but I just rounded it nicely to “400 years.” You can forget about this information.

Question: It’s cute that Kuma used the drawing of Bonney as his flag. Can you tell me what is his ship name?

Answer: It’s called the “Leap out Jewelry”.

---

Question: Odacchi, Heso! Are Franky and Queen father and son?

Answer: Eh…!!!

(Oh no… They’ve noticed! They must’ve seen it in the One Piece Encyclopedia – Vivre Card the year that Queen’s child was born marches the year Franky was born! And the year Queen abandoned his child also matches the year Franky was taken in by Tom!! Readers knowing something the characters themselves don’t know would be weird… I’ll have to bluff my way out of this one…!)

N… No, they’re… not…!!!

---

Question: This is my first submission! You know those cover story series that you do? My dad said that once a character appears in them, they’ll never appear in the story again! Is that true?

Answer: Eh? That’s not true at all! These cover series I’ve done so far include: Buggy, Koby, Jango, Hatchan, Wapol, Ace, Gedatsu, Meet Batoque Works, Enel, CP9, Caribou, Jinbe, The Straw Hat Grand Fleet, Bege, Germa, Yamato.

I’ve done this many times already. Most of these characters have returned in the main story. Basically, the cover story series are to show readers what these characters are up to. There’s also a book called “Doors”, which contains all of these and is very easy to read! Mio-chan, are you perhaps curious if Yamato will appear again? Please look forward to it! (Laughs).

Question: Oda sensei, good day! I’m Masahito and I’m 6 years old! I’ve been thinking about a new devil fruit! I call it the Crunch-Crunch fruit (Shaki Shaki No Mi). It can make the user’s attack sharp.

Answer: Hello, 6-year-old Mashahito-kun. That’s really cool! The Shaki Shaki No Mi, huh? Maybe I’ll use it because that’s so cuuute! Did you see this PTA guys? Oh, there’s another cute postcard!

---

Question: Is Jinbei’s d**k colored blue?

Answer: Okay, 5 year old Animi chan, wha….. what the heck are you asking?? (Yeah it’s blue).

---

Question: Does Zunesha poop?

Answer: Gross!! That’s the first question?! Disgusting!!

Naturally, it poops! Naturally, some adventure makes land there. “This whole island feels like a swamp…” Then eventually, the island sinks and becomes nutrients for the sea – like hell it does!! But of course it poops, naturally.

Question: Odacchi! These days, e-books have become mainstream and there are more web manga than ever, but I feel One Piece often uses wide panels that stretch across across both pages, even outside of big splash scenes. Do you consciously design it to be read in print form?

Answer: Ah, right – both Jump and the One Piece volumes have digital versions now. Of course, everyone’s free to read however they like, but the layout I have in mind always is two pages as one spread [X]. In other words, the “Jump Magazine,” “comics,” or digital versions read on something horizontal like a PC or iPad.

For example, when I do a gag that spans both pages, I sometimes draw the left page’s panels a bit smaller so that when you flip the page, the joke in the right appears bigger and hits harder. That’s one of the visual effects I use in my storytelling. So for people reading on a vertically oriented smartphone screen, I can only say “sorry about that” (LOL).

---

Question: Bonney is only 12 years old, yet she keeps the appearance of someone in her 20s. Will she stay as a 12-year-old from now on?

Answer: Out at sea, no one would take a child captain seriously, and looking older was also convenient for her journey to find her father. But now that she’s on board the Sunny, which is now on Elbaph, she seems to feel safe enough to remain a child. Please keep an eye on here from here on out.

Question: I got so excited when Luffy’s new Gear 5 techniques, “Gomu Gomu No Dawn Whip” and ”Dawn Rocket,” appeared! But when I see the word “white,” I’d naturally expect “punch” – that would be even more exciting! So why is it read as “Dawn”?

Answer: Hold on a sec! Ramenmaru-kun?! (The guy who sent the previous question) even if you repelled one weirdo, did you just summon another one?! What do you mean “When it’s white, it just has to be punch”?!! PTA members, please, it’s not what it sounds like!! This isn’t that kind of manga!!

(Note from Pew: White punch is a liquor mixture. Then again, Oda dodges to answer the question LOL)

---

Question: Luffy’s eye pupil are quite small aren’t they? What if he wore colored contacts? What would he look like?

Answer: Like this:

• A drawing of Luffy with colored contacts: “I’ll become the King of Pirated Copies!” (Bootlegs)

• A normal drawing of Luffy (left): “I’ll become the King of the Pirates!”

---

Question: I’d love to see what Vivi looks like at ages 40 and 60! I’ve sprayed some “Sanadacchi Repellant” so you can rest easy this summer! From Ramenmaru

Answer: Yay! No more Sanada! As thanks, I’ll draw it!

• Age 40: “Let’s go, Karoo! Towards East Blue!”
• Age 60: “My, you’re quite good, fufufu!”

A future where something bad happens:

• Age 60: “Luffy? Oh yeah… There used to be a guy like that…”

• Age 40: “I’ll make ya dizzy, ya bastard!!!”
