Oda's first editor Asada (97-2001) left Oda's latest manuscript in a shop by mistake. Shueisha has a rule: editors instantly get fired if they lose manga manuscripts. He hurried to the shop and luckily found it. He recalled in 2017 it was the worst mistake he had ever made.😅
52
After a chapter was out, Oda asked editor Sugita if he felt unnanutral somewhere in the chapter. Sugita admitted he had felt a bit unnatural but refrained from pointing it out. Oda got mad, "Don't you dare do that again! Editor's opinion is so important as my first audience!🔥"
53
Yesterday, Oda asked #ChatGPT about the next story.🤣 "Hi, I'm the author of One Piece. I can't come up with nice next developments of OP. Would you consider a super amazing story on behalf of me?😋"
GPT: How about Shadow King appearing in front of Straw Hats and trying to kidnap

Not only fans but also surprisingly *Oda's editor* Hattori was against the idea of killing Ace. But Oda had made up his mind ever since he came up with Ace as a character. Oda after watching the anime got angry: I wonder why Ace had to be killed in that harsh way..😥
55
When editor Kawashima met Oda for the first time, Oda told him, "Be prepared to die for One Piece!". Kawashima was shocked but was impressed at how Oda is dedicated to his work. Oda added, "If you destroy your health due to overwork, I'll take care of your family financially."✨
56
Oda's editors mustn't miss a phone call from Oda since otherwise he gets mad. They place their mobile phones on the chest when sleeping.😅 In 2017, editor confessed he had suffered from *phantom vibration syndrome* where it felt like his mobile phone was vibrating when it was not
57
Luffy and Blackbeard fighting in the initial Oda's sketch of the volume cover hypes me up, but I wonder when it will come true. Will it happen right after Egghead or Elabaf or maybe around 2030..?🦄

Oda's new editor Anayama joined Shueisha in 2022, so he's most likely about 23-24 years old. Anayama means Hole Mountain. In 2009, Oda got mad to see his editor's email address was related to Gintama as a previous Gintama editor. He instantly changed it into *onepiece-the-best*🤣
59
In 2006, Kishimoto, the Naruto mangaka, sent an appreciation email to Oda because he was so moved by the farewell chapter for Going Merry.🥰 Kishimoto also blatantly said that he was jealous of Chopper because he would make a lot of money for Oda through merchandising.🤣

As I said, the Five Elders spoke to Shanks in a respectful manner. Shanks also showed respect to them by *politely* saying ええ、感謝します(Yes, I appreciate that).💎 BTW, he used a casual "thank you" (Suman) to Sengoku. Suman is used against someone of equal or lesser rank.
61
Five Elders called Shanks with the pronoun 君 (kimi), which indicates they have respect to Shanks to a certain extent. Instead, they call Akainu with the pronoun お前 (omae), which sounds rather impolite. In short, they respect Shanks more than Akainu.😍 twitter.com/Throneneo/stat…
62
In the latest chapter (Japanese version🇯🇵), Kizaru spoke to his subordinate in a pretty harsh manner to the extent that I've never seen before. Which tells us Kizaru is getting so nervous about protecting Saint Saturn. #ONEPIECE1073

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

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..

In Jump Festa message, Oda is glad that many young audience have recently become OP fan despite this 25-year-serialization. He added not to worry too much because "Final saga will not end so soon".🥰

Oda in Jump Festa today: Surprisingly, *that* character and *that* character will fight in 2023. I hope nobody dies!💪

One Piece Film Red is still aired in Japanese theaters, but according to Oda's message 1 hour ago, Oda and his staff think it's not a good idea to drag out the film airing just to make money and they has decided Red should end in the near future.🎵

Oda recently had a barbecue party with Shohei Ohtani, Major League baseball player. (source: sponichi.co.jp/entertainment/…)
BTW, Oda is said to have an interview in Saudi Arabia tomorrow.😍 The prince of Saudi is a big fan of OP and got Oda's autograph in 2016.🇸🇦

Oda (2017): My fans are worried about my short sleep, but sleep is just a waste of time for me. I prefer collecting information for manga. I want to become a robot that doesn't need sleep. Even when I go on a trip with my family, I don't want to sleep much.😅

In 2009, Chopper's VA Ikue Otani said she has been a very good friend with Usopp's VA and she doesn't mind taking a bath with him if he wants. Usopp's VA replied, "Well, I'm married…😅"

Film Red interview today: Oda refused to answer the question about Figarland Family (Shanks), but he implied it'll be explained in the future. Oda initially thought Kalifa and Blueno didn't belong to CP0 and Helmeppo didn't belong to Sword, but Red staff made him change his mind.
72
Oda, Hirohiko Araki, Gege Akutami, Gotouge, Sui Ishida and such made celebration messages to Yoshihiro Togashi exhibition that will start tomorrow.🥰 Wondering what Oda's message will be like.
73
In the latest chapter, Hibari's Japanese speech style is inevitably lost in translation. It is called "Hiroshima dialect", the same as Akainu. Considering only these 2 characters speak that dialect in OP, Oda might be implying Hibari is Akainu's daughter or something.😊 #OP1061

Life-sized Doflamingo is scary.😅
Doflamingo got surrounded by Japanese police in 2019.🤣

Here is Oda's heartwarming comment in Shonen Jump today: My 77-year-old father has sent me a message via LINE app, "I shedded tears while watching Film Red.😭"
I underestimated you! So, you understand this amazing film? Thank you so much!🥰
Translating One Piece news randomly. Big fan of Oda's interviews.😍 I'm native Japanese🇯🇵, but I usually tweet in English.
