Talk:One Piece novel A

Canon
Apparently User:Klobis believe it to be non-canon, Since I don't remember Klobis being a vandelist, he might have a reason and i think this is the best place to talk about it. Rhavkin (talk) 12:58, September 4, 2017 (UTC)

Biggest strike against it is that it wasn't written by Oda. It also falls under Novels, which the rules consider non-canon. Dragonus Nesha (talk) 15:47, September 4, 2017 (UTC)

The novel was said to be "official" and was supervised by Oda, all the characters that appear were created by Oda and the Spade Pirates have appeared in the manga as well. So I would put this at same canonicity as Databook information, meaning it's canon unless contradicted in the manga/SBS. We talked about this on Discord too and the consensus was to consider it canon. 16:05, September 4, 2017 (UTC)

I am with Kage. Until the manga or an SBS contradicts, we should consider it canon. Also, while other projects (Strong World, Film Z) were overseen by Oda, they did not receive the "official" confirmation. Plus, the OP Mag is official, which seems like a second layer of confirmation to me. 16:22, September 4, 2017 (UTC)

It's canon, so I agree with Kage Meshack (talk) 18:02, September 4, 2017 (UTC)

I consider it as canon as well since it was supervised by Oda 18:46, September 4, 2017 (UTC)

Unless Klobis has a legit reason for it to be non-canon, it wouldn't matter since the story is canon, we're treating this as canon. Meshack (talk) 20:27, September 4, 2017 (UTC)

Are you serious? I think it is groundless. --Klobis (talk) 00:08, September 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * The novel was said to be "official", the OP Mag is official: Where is the source? What is the meaning?
 * The novel was supervised by Oda: Where is the source? And the non-canon films were supervised by Oda too.
 * all the characters that appear were created by Oda: There are many "Non-Canon Characters Designed by Oda".
 * the Spade Pirates have appeared in the manga as well: The Straw Hats appeared many non-canon stories.
 * the story is canon: The story was written by Hinata, not Oda.

So there is no source of Oda's "supervision" or the "official confirmation"? The novel must be non-canon. --Klobis (talk) 12:44, September 11, 2017 (UTC)
