'''R: I have an inquiry, Sensei. Does the first mate on Shanks' ship have a name? The guy with the meat, too.'''

O: Take your seat. Of course they have names. The first mate is Shofukutei Nezumi, because his face kind of looks like a mouse's, according to Usopp. Well, that's a lie. His real name is Benn Beckman. And the meat-eating fat guy's name is Lucky Roux. There's really no need to remember something like that, but since I got asked enough, I might as well clear it up.

'''R: I have a question. I always see the sound effect "donnnn" in One Piece, but why "donnnn"? I think "babinnnn" would work just as well.'''

O: No. No way. That will not work at all. I use "donnnn" when I draw scenes to give them that "donnnn" kind of feeling, so if I drew in "babinnnn" it would give the picture a	"babinnnn" feeling. But that could work in a joke scene or something. Or maybe "ufunnnn" (giggle). Uh, disregard that.

R: What does the "Mowe" written on Morgan's chin mean?

O: It's a German word. It means "seagull." The pronunciation is kind of like "Mehve." He really is a sailor, isn't he.

'''R: You don't seem to use much screentone. Is there a reason for that?'''

O: Well, it takes forever to affix all that tone, once you get started. I make it my policy to only use white and black rather than a lot of time-consuming and pain in the- err, lazy 	tone use.
