CURIOSITIES

Marks on Ace’s hat

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)

trapp

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.

    Borsalino

    D: I have a question. Is the character of Borsalino based on Kunie Tanaka’s role of “Borsalino 2” from the Movie Truck Yaro: Bakuso Ichiban-boshi? –AkuaNoichigo

    37659060

    O: You saw that movie?! That’s fantastic. It’s quite an old film. I wonder if it’s out on DVD and Blu-ray now. I have the entire Truck Yaro series on VHS tapes. You are correct, Borsalino comes from that role. There’s an Alain Delon film called Borsalino as well, and I suspect that Kunie Tanaka’s character was named in homage to that movie. Alan Delon’s a super-cool actor too. His movies are older, so most people probably haven’t seen them. I don’t mind, though. I did this to satisfy myself. That’s all for this installment of the SBS! See you again soon!!

      Nico Robin

      D: Question. Robin always says frightening things in front of everyone. But in her own thoughts, she oftentimes thinks of fun stuff like “Cats” or “Dress-roba” (T.N. – Dress-roba is a pun on Dressrosa, meaning “Dress-Old Woman”). Why doesn’t Robin talk about these thoughts with her crew to make them laugh? I love how Robin is like this. P.N. Y.O122O: I see, that’s true. From what I think, from the Punk Hazard Arc when she told Franky (in Chopper’s body) not to ever make such a strange face in Chopper’s body again, Robin probably likes cute things. But even though she likes cute things, she’s a bit dark/creepy herself, so if she tries to put these cute thoughts to words there is a chance it may come out as scary/ominous. That’s the kind of woman that Robin is.

        Funny question for Oda :-)

        D: Nice to meet you. I am a 24 year old lady who has an affection for sharks. Sharks are widely known for having 2 dicks, but does Hody also have 2 dicks? Also, how many dicks does Odacchi have?

        P.N. I want Shirahoshi to be my waifu

        hody

        O: THEY HAVE 2 OF THEM!? (SHOCK) Sharks have 2 of them!? Wow, I had no idea. They’re widely known for it!? I’ve drawn lots of sharks in my lifetime, but I had no idea. Thank you so much. If so, Hody has 2 of them as well.

        He has 2 dicks, so he must be a double dick!

        I guess personally, I only need one.

            Females in the Whitebeard Pirates

            3636208-3623024444-The-W

            D: Odacchi! Question!! You know how there aren’t any females in the Whitebeard Pirates? It bothers me!        P.N. Apple

            1

            O: Hrmmm. So back when they made their first appearance (volume 25), there were female nurses on board. These lovely ladies were actually the Whitebeard Pirates’ official medical team. However, due to Whitebeard’s own set of morals, he never allowed a woman on board his ship as “fighters”. This is the reason why there wasn’t a single woman in his crew when they arrived in the “Summit War Arc”. He was prepared for “death” at this point. He had ripped off all of the medical tools that were helping him stablize is condition despite his illness, left the women of his medical team, who desperately tried to stop him, in a safe place while tearing up, and went back out into sea for battle with just his boys!! I ended up not drawing all of this, but that’s basically all the drama that went down before Pops finally showed up in the house.

              Bari Bari’s worth

              D: Oda-san, hello~. About Bartolomeo, he said something about how his barriers have a limit or whatever, so how many Bari-Bari’s worth is its maximum capacity?                                               P.N. Hoichael Jackson

              maxresdefault

              O: Great question. There is in fact a limit to the space his barriers can cover, as well as how many barriers he can put up at a time. He can only hold up one barrier at a time, and they say that this one barrier can cover up to 50 thousand Bari-Bari’s!! Amazing! 1 Bari-Bari equates to roughly 100x that of 1 Bori-Bari-Bari, so in other words, his barrier capacity is just about 500 Pickle-Pori-Pori-Bari-Bari’s.

              (Translator’s Note: Bari, Bori, and Pori are all Japanese sound effects that roughly translate to ‘crunching’.)

                How old is Corazon? Why is it that Sugar isn’t present in the Dofla-family flashback scenes?

                hqdefault

                D: How old is Corazon? Why is it that Sugar isn’t present in the Dofla-family flashback scenes?                                               P.N. Roronoa Romugen

                SBS77 4 Monet and Sugar

                O: Corazon is 2 years younger than Doflamingo. He died at the age of 26. So Sugar and Monet would end up joining after this incident. These two were rescued from an extremely misfortunate environment by Doflamingo himself, and as sisters aged 9 and 17, they resolved to throw their lives away if it were for the sake of the Family. They were provided with Devil Fruits after joining. You see, Doflamingo is very observant of the “environments” that people grow up in.

                  BOA HANCOCK TRIVIA

                  Given that all members of the Kuja tribe are named after flowers, it is possible that her first name comes from the scientific name for the snowberry, a plant known for its showy flowers, symphoricarpos chenaultii hancock. Her family name, Boa, comes from the boa, a group of constricting snakes.

                  Boa can also mean “good” in Portuguese and is used as an expression to refer to attractive women.

                  sexy-boa-hancock-one-piece-hd-wallpaper-1920x1080

                  She is one of the two women who so far have claimed to be the “most beautiful”, the other being Alvida. Both of these women have grown infatuated with Luffy, though Hancock is perhaps the first character in the entire series who has shown feelings identified as romantic love, unlike Alvida, whose feelings for Luffy resemble more of an “admiring love” since Luffy was the first (and only) man to ever punch her.

                  She is the only known female character that possesses Haoshoku Haki.

                    Diez Barrels

                    D: The one who was with Barrels, the pirate called “Dorry”, was X Drake, captain of the Drake pirates, right?! It struck me when I saw the name “Diez”, found the scar on his chin, and discovered that he comes from the sea of the North.

                    So does that mean that Barrels is Drake-san’s father?          from Kobe Prefecture, Kazuki-kun

                    www

                    ODA: Yes, that’s correct!! Well done with your findings.

                    X Drake, along with Luffy and the others, is a member of the youthful “Worst Generation” of pirates that stirred up a great deal of commotion around the world. His father, Barrels, used to be a Marine Officer and Drake admired this, dreaming of becoming a great Marine just like him one day. However; who knows what happened, but his father suddenly turned into a pirate and became a terrible man who would physically abuse even his own son. Drake, who still believed in his past father and followed him around was aged 19 at this time (13 and a half years ago). Though that’s a bit too old to be calling him a boy, he probably seemed to look a lot younger while he was weakened with the fear of his father. Later, he fatefully crossed paths with Law, and the Marines soon took custody of him, leading Drake to become a Marine. The thing is, as if resigning himself to fate, after Drake made his way all the way up to becoming a Rear Admiral in the Marines, he ended up leaving the navy and becoming a pirate himself!!

                    Just what happened? What’s he thinking? Hey, you!! —come onnnnnn.

                    I’m interested in seeing the future of Drake, who has also made an appearance in a cover series!!
