'''D: Ah, I changed my pen name. P.N. SBS START.'''

O: Gaah!! (shock) (← Noticed it started) uuuh... (← couldn't start it this time either) ugh... (←disappointed)

'''D: I really, really want to be Inazuma. -by a 31-yr old housewife'''

O: Yes.

'''D: Odacchi~ a question for you. Is the 3rd division commander of the Whitebeard pirates, Diamond Jozu's penis a diamond? Please tell me. Pen Name Family jewel Negio'''

O: Yes, Jozu's penis is a diamond penis.

'''D: Question 1: Since it all seems to be becoming dirty, SBS will end. P.N.PATAN'''

O: NO DON'T!!! (shock) Whaddya mean dirty! Look at the question above! OF COURSE THINGS GET DIRTY HERE! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO ANSWER!! Ah, I see you wrote me another question, Mr. P.N.PATAN...

'''D: Question 2: Oda sensei, do you poop? P.N.PATAN'''

O: Since I'm an idol, I don't do those things <3 Ehe <3 WHO YA CALLING AN IDOL!!!! (shock) Ha.. haa... sorry.. that was probably childish. I answered and even got all angry... That time.. my bad... Buri!! (* sound effect when pooping)

'''D: If Sanji becomes the president, what would his politics be? P.N. Kenichi (Aichi area)'''

O: Yes, let's see-. First would be "ladies first". He'd make the whole political organization would be composed of beautiful women. There would be a law that only ladies can eat good food, in movie theaters, the # of ladies' days would increase to 6 days a week, there would be total discrimination toward men, and the men would form a rebellion, and he would fail, losing his position.

'''D: Hello Oda sensei. No matter how many times I look at Volume 57's cover, I don't see the 8th division commander Namur. Did something happen to him?! Give him a chance in the SBS! P.N.Jozu'''

O: Ah-, that's true-. But in reality, I did draw him. Looks like he got cut off because of a printing problem. In the original I drew, he's right here-. Sometime in the future, I'll make sure he is on the color walks, etc. My apologies, commander Namur!

'''D: If you take away the cuteness from Chopper, what would happen?! Please attempt to draw him!! Ah, and what do your curtains smell like, Mr. Oda? P.N. Our curtains stink.'''

O: Well yes-. The curtains in my workplace are lavenderish... or floralish... or rosy-ish, or crappy-ish...

(Chopper is saying "Idiot, how can I by munchin' on sweets. Where's the beer, eh? The beer" and in the speech bubble, it says "Your curtains smell like shit you bitch")

'''D: You know the coat that all those commissioned Marine officers wear on their backs? The one that says "Justice". That thing never falls of no matter how much the guy wearing it moves, but how does it stay on? A snap stopper? Or maybe super glue? My husband says "it's rubber" (making it a circle and passing it through another circle). P.N. Koteni-'''

O: Too bad, nothing is on there. That is a coat that has "Justice" on the back. It never falls off, because to them, Justice never "falls"!! As long as that feeling stays in their hearts, THE COAT WILL NEVER FALL!!!

「Please give me a long break from work. I want to pla-... I mean, I need time to think of a good new twist, Mr. editor. Like 3 weeks or so.」When I said this,
 * Yes, now now, did you all read the 3rd chapter? Ya-. What what?! This cliff hanger!! Like "What the heck is gonna happen in the next chapter you idiot!!". I can almost hear the voices. Lets listen. ..........?....................?? (I couldn't hear more than I expected ↓)
 * Erm-. Did you know? One Piece is. Released evrey, every week in a magazine called "Jump". And so, well I released chapters up to today for 'bout 14 years, and here comes the huge twist. Yup. Now, since this was one of my chances, I went to my editor and said this.

「Fine, then if you're going to resume with a color spread, I'll give you a one-month break.」

「Seriously？! That's a lot!!」 (Shock)

And so, promising some extra work, I received it, 1 month!! Seems like all my fellow readers that happily wait for the next chapter each week waited patiently for a month. I am very thankful--. Sorry for that part, really. I received lots of letters too.

「Please take care and rest a lot」 So nice.

「Is it true you had a big fight with your editor?」 Hey hey!!

「Are you sick?」No no...

Seems like I caused a strange ruckus for the sudden happening, but I am very fine.

I was '''ENJOYING MYSELF!! IN HAWAII.''' I was '''ENJOYING MYSELF!! '''Ok, can I stop now? Anyhow, I am doing what I love, so I don't mind being overstuffed with work, but every time I cause problems for even my family, and since the trip came along with family services as well, all was very well. Here an there, full of thanks, hm.
 * Well, that's that, so people who heard lots of strange rumors and became worried, thank you very much.
 * Well, because of that backstory, things got wayyy more cut off in the story than I imagined, but without even changing the author, it's all still the regular old ONE PIECE. There are lots more islands I want to draw. I also am excited to see what growth Luffy and the co. will make, who they meet, and what adventures they will have. Enjoy the new beginning, 「Saga of the last sea, "New World"」.

'''D: Greetings, Odacchi sensei. Good afternoon(?). This is a question, but the marks on the hat Portgas D. Ace was wearing; do they mean: '''

☹: Was it okay for me to be born into this world?

☺''': Meeting Pops, Luffy, and loving me so much, I'm glad I was born. Thanks.'''

'''...or something like that to indicate Ace's question and the "Answer" he found? No, it's gotta be that! When Ace said his quotes before dying, his expressions were the same as his hat. P.N. Nara's K(Kuuki) Y(Yomeru) (Can read atmosphere) '''

O: Hmm, I see. I've received quite a number of postcards on this one. Those "marks" and "the last expressions", hm. They are the same. I, also, was shocked when I had this pointed out at first. (Haha) What's funny is that much to coincidence, that happened to become true. Back then, when Ace made his first introduction, there was sort of an idea of what this dude's destiny would be inside me, but those marks were just plain old accessories, and so I never thought of a deep meaning. And the expressions of Ace when he was dying, well I just thought that would be relevant and drew those two panels next to each other. Realistically, the face of pain, burning, hurting, feeling bad, and not wanting to die. Still, the feeling of having no regrets. He probably tries to tell that is how he truly feels to Luffy. And that's what his smile is. When a person cradles a crying baby, he/she always smiles, right? Same as that. Because he wants the person to smile, he dies with a peaceful smile in the end, and I think that shows us his kindness. Thinking that, I drew those panels. Ah- the explaination got kinda long-. Well anyhow- it's amazing, how you all notice this stuff.

'''D: Tell me why do conveyer-belt sushi restaurants have to spin the sushi around. P.N. Marukoh the Phoenix '''

O: Oh, I think it's the same as the time spinning.
