Long Tweet🔔: The 1st page contains probably the most important information in the chapter, but even the official Viz English translation loses the subtle nuances in Oda’s complex Japanese.😭 Here is my explanation. Both Joy Boy and Imu speak like *children of around ten years

[🔔Long Tweet] Oda's message about Akira Toriyama paassing away. Oda: It is too early. The hole is too big. Sadness washes over me when I think that I will never see him again. I have admired him so much since I was a child, so I remember the day he called me by name for the

Oda's message 10minutes ago: I am going to have surgery to correct my astigmatism because it is interfering with my work. I have been discussing this with Shonen Jump chief editor since last year and will be taking *4 weeks* off. I will be able to beam out of my eyes.🤣

Oda (2007): I can draw anything I want because I have a reasoning in my manga that says, *In Grand Line, anything is possible*. If I want to draw a country like India, I can just draw it in the next arc. If I want to draw a sports manga, I can just create Sports Island.🤣

When Oda married in 2004, he made a promise with his wife that they will go on a round-the-world trip after One Piece ends, saying he would finish it in 10 years..😅

Oda (2013): Initially, I had no intention of having the Straw Hats abandon Going Merry, but I decided it because the enemy ships were getting stronger..😭
