'''D: Oda-sensei, and all you readers out there!!! We're going to have today's SBS started by the wildly popular "Isshies 20"! All right, Isshies 20, go ahead!'''

I: START THE OPERATION.

O: The operation?! Oh well, I guess I'll go ahead and start the...

'''D: Oda-cchi! Have no fear today, for today is the day you will start the SBS! Okay, are you ready?! Huh? Oda-cchi? Oda-chaaaaan! Ahh! There he is! Oda-cha... aah... aaah... AAAACH- START THE SBS!! -OOOOO! OH NO, I SAID IT!!'''

O: Sneezes don't sound like that!!

'''D: 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. (Note: Try as I might, I was unable to what any of those birds are.)

'''D: I couldn't help but notice this. On page 137 in Volume 15, the woman has spring onions in her basket! Three of them! But the same lady on page 162! Hasn't she got a bunch more of them? If she's got so many does it mean they're having roasted onions for dinner? Or onion stew? Well, at least tell me what she was going to make!'''

O: WHAAAAAT?! Wow, I was really shocked. I really did jump out of my seat when I read this postcard. I did get others, though. To tell you the truth, when we were drawing the manuscript, my staff said, "Look, aren't there more onions?" and I said, "Nobody will notice," but all you difficult readers there had to ruin it. Let's see, the woman's name is "Negikuma Maria" (Onion-Bear Maria), age 43, housewife, and today was her eldest son's birthday. She wanted to bake a delicious onion cake for her son, so she was running about town gathering up onions wherever she could. So the answer to your question is "onion cake". Sounds pretty gross.

Captions: First Scene, Second Scene.

'''D: 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"? Please, tell me, Oda-shaaaaaaaan!! (crying)'''

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!!!

'''D: Hey!! Monkey D. Luffy!! I'M the one who's gonna be the pirate king! YOU GOTTA A PROBLEM WITH THAT, PIRATE KING?'''

O: All right, everybody, let's all be a pirate king! Hey, wait!! Okay, next.

'''D: 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.

'''D: I thought of a catchphrase for One Piece. "FRIENDS AND ENEMIES, THEY'RE ALL WEIRDOS."'''

O: "Readers and author, they're both weirdos." Wait, no, the author is normal!!

'''D: 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...

'''D: 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!!

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

O: You mean Karoo? 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. Karoo'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)

'''D: Odacchi, you are amazing. You made up your own letter. You know what I mean. That "thing" on page 180 of Volume 15. How are you supposed to pronounce that? Please tell me.'''

O: U%. This is how you sound it out. Without letting your lips touch, you must explosively suck in a deep breath and stick your chin out at the same time. Ready, set, *sfx*!! Well? Did you do it right?

'''D: Hello, nice to meet you. When I saw this Corner in your books, I wanted to write my own postcard, and tell everyone, "Let's find all the signs of Oda-sensei's playfulness!" But then I couldn't find any. Everyone else is so good at that. So here's my question. What should my question be about?'''

O: ARE YOU TOTALLY CRACKED?!! SBS. SEE YOU NEXT VOLUME!!!
