Luffy's VA (Mayumi Tanaka) said yesterday, "I believe I can do my work for at least 10 years." I wonder if she meant it'd be possible for One Piece anime to continue another 10 years.😆 Personally, I guess One Piece manga might finish around 2030..

Here is my translation of Oda's message about Tokyo ONE PIECE Tower having closed at the end of July. He implies COVID-19 is one of the reasons for this closing.🥲

Editor's blurb in the raw chapter says, "Both wings appear!", which confirms Zoro and Sanji are the wings of Pirate King. It's kinda sad that those blurbs have been omitted in the official Viz chapters.😆

The spelling of Raftel turned out to be Laugh Tale in Stampede 5 months before manga. Plus, the talk between Roger and Rayleigh this week was already shown in Stampede. Maybe some people think they kinda got spoiled by anime..? Here is my summary of Oda and editor’s comment.😇

Here is another summary of the interview divided into 3 pages.😇

Databook description pages were not written by Shueisha editor/Oda confirmed by Greg, so it might be a good idea to take it with a grain of salt.😊 Japanese fans don't use them during discussions. About the validity of Vivre Cards, here is Greg's opinion: forums.arlongpark.net/post/4027253

Today some Oda's sketches of prototype OP chapter 1 were revealed in a TV show. Oda complained editors' meeting had kept rejecting OP for a year, but it was not because OP was badly written but because they believed Oda could do more with his outstanding talent.😊 twitter.com/mana__/status/…
234
According to the magazine, Oda said, "If I'm allowed to draw 30 pages each week, I'll soon finish submitting them". Editor said Oda spends much time on deciding how to cram his ideas into 17 pages. There are about 10 fonts in OP, all of which are specified by editor, not Oda😉
235
Today Oda's hometown Kumamoto announced that they will give Prefecture Honor Award to Oda on April 15th. Governor Ikuo Kabashima commented, "ONE PIECE gives us the courage to step forward tomorrow." Oda has been supporting Kumamoto people who suffered a large earthquake in 2016😋
236
Oda's joke in the pic is funny. 🤣
Uta: Hey, Luffy. Stop being a pirate. Hey, Oda-san. Stop taking breaks.
Oda: Shut up!!
237
Oda: Cutting off scenes does happen every chapter due to pages. I made comments in this magazine, but it's not that I have "regrets". I'm fully satisfied when submitting my manuscripts. Cutting off scenes simply means I don't require them. All chapters are "epic" for me.🤗 twitter.com/sandman_AP/sta…

Editor: You're so busy this summer such as Wano arc coming to an end and finally...
Oda: I'd like to revise the story so that I can wrap up the "final arc" as soon as possible.😋
(*Not sure if Oda meant the final arc will start right after Wano..)
241
Some people may wonder why Oda used flashy colors for Komurasaki and Otoko in the cover of ONE PIECE volume 92. Here is my translation of Oda's comment on this question.😇
242
Today I got a promotion newspaper for Film Red in Kyoto City. Here are some pics. I'll watch the film tomorrow.😍 The director jokingly complained they had prepared a legendary old man as a villain, but Oda rejected, saying he was fed up with drawing such characters for films.😂
243
According to today's radio program, Oda keeps in mind that he hangs out with his daughters at least one day per week. He usually sleeps for less than 3 hours a day. On top of that, he sleeps in his own studio without taking a shower.. 😭Thanks for the info @m_kac
244
ONE PIECE anime "Episode of Skypiea" will be aired on August 25th. According to Toei anime producer Sakurada, there will be a must-see scene about "that popular character" who didn't appear in Skypiea arc in manga. Maybe Urouge..? 😂
245

Luffy taking off his straw hat in chapter 1000 reminded us of Shanks in chapter 1, but Oda revealed it was just a coincidence. In another interview, he said it's amazing what he didn't intend has sometimes made his audience get hyped.😋

Here is my summary of Oda's message to new adults in Kumamoto, his hometown.☺️ When a person reaches 20 years of age, they are considered to be an adult in Japan. (Pics thanks to .@MWTakumi)
Translating One Piece news randomly. Big fan of Oda's interviews.😍 I'm native Japanese🇯🇵, but I usually tweet in English.
