of your letters. with the letter "D" (dokusha = reader), and my response with the letter "O" (Oda). I will pick from the letters and postcards at random.
 * Finally, here is the SBS corner I announced in Volume 2. Thank you so much for sending in all
 * In this section, I will mark the reader's comment (which may not necessarily be a question)

D: What are the ages of Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Shanks? O: There were a lot of letters asking about ages. A whole lot. I think it must have been the most frequently asked of all the questions. Well, here's your answer. At present, Luffy is 17, Zoro is 19, and Nami is 18. Because we don't know where Shanks is for the moment, I'll tell you his age from 10 years ago. He was 27 at the time he was hanging out in Luffy's village. As it happens, Usopp is 17 along with Luffy.

D: Why are all the bad guys so suspicious-looking? O: Uh... suspicious...? Well now that you mention it, they DO look rather fishy, don't they? But you know what, I think suspiciousness is mysterious. It makes things fascinating, 	doesn't it?

D: Oda Eiichiro-sensei, can you really stretch out your arms and legs? It was written in Jump. O: Whoa! I thought I said that was a secret.
