O(Oda)

'''R: Oda-sensei!! Good day! I know this sudden, but I have a question. Are the names "Kuina" and "Tashigi" actually taken from the names of birds? Please tell us! from: a bird encyclopedia-checker.'''

O: That's right. More specifically, they are the names of birds that cannot fly. But just because they say a bird cannot fly, doesn't mean that it never will. Because I saw a duck fly in an anime I watched when I was little, called "Nilus' Mysterious Journey". By the way, Nojiko is a bird's name, too.

'''R: I saw Volume 15... and in it, Dr. Kureha asks the little boy, "Are you happy?" What does that mean? Why is "sickness" written there, but meant to be pronounced "happy"?'''

O: She was saying that when you're sick, you remember times when you weren't sick, and therefore happy.


 * Kureha: Don't you forget THIS happy!!!

'''R: I am Jim Joel Satou!! And I have a question. IF I EAT LUFFY, CAN I BECOME A GOMU HUMAN?!'''

O: You'd get food poisoning.

'''R: Oda-sensei!! Those birthdays (in Volume 15) were way too easy to come up with!! I want to have a word with their parents!! HOWWWWWWEVER!! Who are Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji's paaaaaaaaarents?!'''

O:Ahhhh... did I really take the easy way out...? I guess you're right... I just made them up as jokes, based on their personalities. You couldn't really think up their birthdays that blithely if they were born in this world... I'll reflect on this...

'''R: What are Vivi-chan and Chopper's birthdays? Are they February 2nd for Vivi and December 24th for Chopper?'''

O: YES, PERFECT!! BWAHAHAHA, I LOVE IT!! Those are Vivi and Chopper's birthdays!! Any complaints?! I'm not listeniiiiiing!! AHAHAHAHAHA!!

R: What kind of spot-billed duck is a SUPER spot-billed duck?

O: You mean Carue? Well, he's an amazing spot-billed duck. He's huge, he has no webbed feet (land-walking type), and most importantly, he has teeth when he eats. Carue's awesome!!

'''D: Hello. I know this is sudden, but I have a question. Please take a GOOD look at the Black Phone Snail when its lid is on. After you answer "exactly WHAT that thing is supposed to be?", you may go ahead to the next question.'''

O: Uhhh... I don't know... I don't remember drawing it, exactly... but looking at it, it seems like poop to me... like a big twisty pile of shit... (referring to Volume 15, p.31)
