R: Hi Mr Oda, here’s my first question. I read about pirate history every now and then, so what are the origins of the Supernova Rookies’ names? Is this about right? Oda: Wow that’s superb! I’m very thankful. You explained it very nicely. I just have one correction. Capone Bege’s name is taken from the american gangster “Al Capone” and the english privateer William Le Sauvage. Please think of privateers as people like the Shichibukai. Also Killer’s name is pretty fitting. Other than that, that’s right, the Rookies’ names were put together from…

Shiryu of the Rain who has been confirmed to be the right hand man of Blackbeard, has eaten the Suke Suke no Mi, after killing Absalom. The Suke Suke no Mi is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that gives its user the ability to turn themselves and whatever they touch (living or nonliving) invisible, making them a Clear Human. Now Shiryu being the right hand man of Blackbeard automatically confirms that his opponent is Zoro, when the eventual battle between the Blackbeard Pirates and the Straw Hat pirates happens. Now here’s the thing. Just the Suke Suke no Mi’s normal ability…

Ancient Kingdom = Clan of D Clan of D stands for Clan of Dreamers D’s have the ability to bring their dreams to reality, their dreams become Devil fruits. Only the D’s can make Devil fruits it’s an inherited ability. Think of it how some people are born with conquerors haki and you either have it or don’t it’s not something you can acquire. 20 Kingdoms and maybe even the rest of the world feared them for this ability but only the 20 strongest nations (as we can see Alabasta and Dressrosa were part of the 20 kingdoms, they…

I mean, looking at the discussion regarding the last chapter, majority of people claim that Kizaru is no match for Luffy, or that he is the weakest original Admiral, or that he doesn’t have strong enough Haki etc.. The most ridiculous claim lately has been that he is just on par strength-wise with Seraphims. Facts we know about Kizaru: -Advanced Armament Haki (shown against Whitebeard, used it together with Akainu and Aokiji). -Advanced Observation Haki (forming his body to avoid Haki-based attacks from Whitebeard, similarly as Katakuri did against Luffy. Akainu and Aokiji both did this as well in…

I’ve been thinking a lot lately and some things don’t make sense Vegapunk is said to be a good guy, but there are times he comes off as kind of cold hearted. He says he is a pacifist, but he still makes and carries weapons. Dragon also says he hates violence, but he also admits he has no other choice and has to take the fight to the Word government as no one else will, so what’s Vegapunk’s excuse? Now he says things like he wants to help humanity, so his attention is good but the means he gets…

Thanks to Fleet Leader Fenaker, EtenBoby, and Redon! One Piece Chapter 1071 is titled “A Hero Appears”. On the cover page, we see Uta with the rest of the Straw Hat crew. The chapter starts in the Red Line. The real Kuma arrives at Red Port and everyone panicked when they saw him walk towards the World Government’s symbol near the lift that connect the port with Mary Geoise. Back to Egghead Island Stussy comments that it seems Lucci doesn’t intend to obey the Marine’s order as he wants to attack Luffy and Vegapunk. CP0 agents blocks all…

Eustass Kid is based on real life Pirate William Kidd also known as ‘Captain Kid’. Similarities between them include: -Their Name and Epithet; -Their Sociopathic Mind; -Their Methods of Torture, etc.. But William Kidd also had a famous pirate as a father. A pirate named ‘Captain John Kidd’. There is a captain John in One Piece. He was part of the Rocks Pirates that was beaten 38 years ago by Garp and Roger. Kid is 23 years old now. We know John wasn’t killed during the God Valley incident because it is confirmed that John was actually…

In Chapter 1055 we see Ryokugyu senses an incredibly strong blast of Conqueror’s Haki coming from Shanks, which causes him to return to normal form. Green Bull, a full-on Admiral was affected by a Conqueror’s Haki blast! Usually, from what we know, weak people lose conciseness due to weak will/haki power, strong people just get scared for a moment-and that’s it, Conqueror’s Haki blast doesn’t affect them. But for the first time, an actual Admiral, a true so called “top tier” was affected by a Conqueror’s Haki blast. But not just affected, no, no, no he couldn’t even break out of his…

Myth: Oda stated a crew member will die! Fact: Possibly one of the most famous forum rumors. Back in 2003, Oda was claimed to have given verbal word that a member of the Straw Hats will die. At the time, the series was still in Skypiea. The story goes (as often told by long-term fans) that later on when this did not happen, Oda said sorry as things had not gone as planned. The member of the crew that was suppose to die in 2003 is said to have been the Going Merry, which was originally planned to go…

The Seraphim were specifically designed to replace the Seven Warlords of the Sea within the dynamic of the Three Great Powers. They are clones of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea created using the Lineage Factor, but are larger in size compared to the original people they were cloned from. In particular, S-Hawk—the Seraph based on Dracule Mihawk—exhibits an incredibly destructive level of swordsmanship that is capable of splitting even mountains in half, not unlike Mihawk himself. Pythagoras theorizes that this might be a property of the Lineage Factor, which could potentially transmit memories of learned skills…

Everyone likes to point at Chopper’s Devil Fruit as being the worst Devil Fruit of all Devil Fruits, because if anyone else had eaten it, it wouldn’t have done anything, which is true. However, maybe the base Hito Hito no Mi was always meant to be eaten by an animal. Maybe it was specifically designed to be eaten by a non-human. Why’s that? Well first, let’s consider the devil fruit’s shape. The Devil Fruit itself looks like a mushroom. By appearance alone, it looks more like an animal would forage for it and eat it before a human came…

The evolution of Eiichiro Oda’s style through the years, from the beginning of the One Piece manga to nowdays. At the start of One Piece Oda was reported as worried about his art style. At the time it was more favored to have big-eyed characters than it was to have the more old fashioned dot-eyed style. One Piece is also noted for its numerous bizarre and extreme character designs, which became more and more common and exaggerated as the series progressed. One Piece’s distinct style has changed quite a bit over its decade-long run. In the beginning it used…

Recent One Piece chapters featured a side story called “Germa 66’s Ahh… An Emotionless Excursion” which revealed how the Vinsmoke brothers managed to escape Whole Cake Island. The latest installment of this story titled “Promising scientists, brought together for the sake of mankind and the world” contains a shocking revelation about MADS, an illegal research team that operated in the past. First of all, what an amazing cover page this is. Exchange their weapons for instruments and they’re a band. “Skipping Leg Day for Science”? Queen looking like he’d be too popular. Just look at that hairline. We might…
