Chapter 431 - Page 28
'''D: Oda-sensei! You haven't been able to give the title call recently, but as Polar Bear, head of the "Let Him Say the Title Call Squad," I say you have nothing to fear!! Now, go ahead and say it, while you imitate a gorilla-ish Inoki eating a banana!''' by Polar Bear

SB mush mush chomp chomp! Ook ook! Chomp chomp mush mush hook hook! E-ookook... Es... Munsh munsh-- ESCUSE ME!!! LET ME DO IT NORMALLY OOK OOK!! ..........okay. Next question.

(Note: "Inoki" is the legendary Japanese fighter Antonio Inoki.)

D: Is it true that you shoot out a "Coup de Poo" when you eat potatoes? by Modai

O: OH YES. I DO. Man, let me tell you. I accidentally ate a potato last time, and one single "Coup de Poo" sent me flying to New York. It was Coup de Pooman in New York. Of course, I was able to get a potato to send me back home safely.

'''D: Odacchi!! Out of the Six Forms, I want "Tekkai" most of all, but just how hard does it make you? I mean, some places it's REALLY important to be HARD, you know what I mean?!''' P.N. Majin Moomin

O: WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU PEOPLE WANT FROM THIS SECTION?

Chapter 432 - Page 48
'''D: Clang!! Clangclangclangclangclang!! Claclang!! Odaaa-senseiii... Yoyoi! I have a-uh questionnn. Does-uh Kumadori's-uh name-uh come-uh from theee kabuki facepaint knownnn aasssss "kumadori"? Yoyoyoi yoi, answer me this question please!''' from Sho-kun

O: That's right. That's exactly what it came from.

'''D: Odaaachi!! I have a question, SIR! Wait! Wait! Wait! On Volume 44, p.148, the fifth panel, c-c-c-c-c-could that be?!!!! Ryotsu from "Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Koen-mae Hashutsujo"?! Ryotsu, Ryotsu! It is! Why? But why? Why there? Is it a relative? Or what? He was transferred to the army from the police? What's the story? If you don't answer me, this is sexual harassment!''' by The Tacchi's Boss

O: Yes. I got a whole mountain of letters about this. You are right, it is indeed Ryo-san from the ultra famous |"Kochikame"! Last year, Kochikame forged the incredible streak of over 30 years in publication!! So in one issue, Jump ran a little contest in which Ryo-san appeared in all the stories in the magazine, and readers had to find him. I think the only reason they could get all the Jump authors in on such a feat is because of the immense respect and popularity Akimoto-sensei commands. Congratulations on 30 incredible years!!

D: 

O: C'mon guys, KNOCK IT OFF!!!Didn't I say no enough?! NO!!! And what does the postcard in the top right have to do with anything?! Who cares?! It's A!! DUH!!

'''D: If Lady Robin can use her Hana Hana Powers to make any part of her body sprout somewhere else, does that mean she can do it with her ample bosom as well? "Nyurin-zaki" (Breast Sprout) Boy, I'd like to take a hit from that sometime...''' P.N. Ero Ero Fruit Scholar

O: "Ichirin-zaki" (Single Sprout) "Nirin-zaki" (Double Sprout) "Nyurin-zaki" (Breast Sprout) Very clever!! NO IT'S NOT!! STOP THAT!! I'm sure she CAN do it though <3

Chapter 434 - Page 88


'''D: If KoKoro-san is a mermaid, why is her granddaughter Chimney a normal human? Don't mermaids	pass on genetic information?''' from Petit Panda

O: KoKoro-san came here from Fishman Island out of her respect for Tom-san, when she was a young 	mermaid. She married a young human man from Water Seven, their half-fishman son married another human, and THEIR daughter was Chimney. Chimney is therefore 1/4 mermaid, so she's a very good swimmer. It was only her mermaid blood that helped such a little kid save Luffy in Chapter 403, Volume 42, as he drowned.

'''D: In Chapter 422, it said that Rob Lucci killed 500 hostages and took the captain's head. Why did he have to kill the 500 hostages?''' by Wiper Is the Coolest!!

O: I know, why? It's terrible. Why couldn't he just kill the bad guys? However, I had to shorten some things to make the pace move quicker. Lucci is a man who believes that "weakness is a sin." Therefore, if these soldiers were weak enough to be captured and expose the country to danger, they could do the same thing again in the future. So he arrived at the answer that these weak soldiers did not have the right to live, and took action accordingly. It's a hair-raising philosophy. Thanks for beating him, Luffy!!

'''D: Please us tell us his name. My husband and I keep calling him "Round Guy." For now.''' P.N. Patty

O: Ummm... Tama... Tamagon. (Just made that up)

D: Do all Devil Fruit have that swirly pattern on them?

O: That's right. It's what distinguishes them from other fruit. Sometimes I wonder if Sanji himself is a Devil Fruit.

'''D: In the Volume 4 SBS, you said that you read every single fanletter and postcard. Do you still do that, even now?''' by Koji

O: Yes, of course I do. However, to be honest, there was a time when I couldn't read them all. At that point, I was easily getting one to two thousand letters or postcards a week. At the time, I had to select a few hundred out of all of those, but lately the volume of mail has come down to a manageable level (the letters from girls have really dropped off since I got married (LOL)). So now I am once again reading all 100% of them. Looking at it now, I've been getting these letters of support week after week for 10 years, which is truly a wonderful thing. Thank you. I am truly kept afloat by my readers. There's a room in our office where we store the mail, and my staff is getting worried that the floor is going to give out in there.

'''D: Sorry this is so sudden, Oda-sensei. Luffy's favorite food is meat. What about everyone else on the crew? And you yourself, Oda-sensei???? Chapapapapaa!''' P.N. I Like Cup Ramen!!!

O: These are their favorites!!


 * Luffy: ALL KINDS OF MEAT.
 * Zoro: White rice, sea monster meat, stuff that goes with ale
 * Nami: Oranges, all fruit
 * Usopp: Pike from autumn islands, fish of the season
 * Sanji: Spicy seafood pasta, stuff that goes with black tea

 * Robin: Sandwiches, cakes that aren't too sweet, stuff that goes with coffee
 * Franky: Hamburgers, french fries, stuff that goes with cola
 * Oda: Often changes. Currently, qing jiao rou si.

'''D: Hey, Odacchi! I got a question! About Devil Fruit!! If Kaku and Kalifa said they wouldn't know what their Devil Fruit were until they ate it, how come Shanks knew what Luffy's Gomu Gomu Fruit was before he ate it?? Tell me! Tell me now!! Pleeeease tell me!!!''' P.N. Shirogitsunekko

O: Well, I think I'll eventually get to explaining more about the Devil Fruit in the main story, but you see, there's a book of the Devil Fruit. It has info about all kinds of fruit names and abilities, but few of the fruit can actually be identified by their shape. In the case of the Gomu Gomu Fruit, there was a picture and everything, but for Kaku and 	Califa, they were talking about how they wouldn't know until they had finally eaten the fruit. That was in Volume 40.

The Volume 45 SBS is over!! Until next time!!
