Oda (2016):When Kaido was introduced, I said Luffy can't beat such a strong guy yet. And I'm yet to know how Luffy will defeat him. My audience won't be satisfied if the reason for defeating Kaido is just because of Luffy's strong punch. Luffy and I must find a solution somehow😋

Big Mom's final attack in chapter 1039 is actually a Japanese pun that means "3000 Leagues in Search of Mother", an anime in the 1970s. Big Mom releasing such an attack in the hardship might tell us about her desire to meet "mother" aka Carmel..🥰
133
"Strong World" is known as the film that Oda got involved the most so far. According to today's interview of Mr. Shimizu (Toei), Oda's involvement in the story of "Film Red" is confirmed to be more than Strong World.😍

A former OP editor was in one-way love with a classmate in high school. In 2017, she asked, "You're OP editor, right? Would you tell me what One Piece is?" When he refused to accept her request, she blocked him on a messaging app. The editor commented, "What a harsh woman!"😭

Today a OP fan from India appeared in a TV show and obtained a straw hat with Oda's signature. Shanks' VA gave it to him like chapter 1. Here is my translation of Oda’s reply to his fan letter.😊
137
What does Kaido mean in Japanese? The kanji Kaido (快童/怪童) means "joy boy /strong kid". This is a popular theory spreading in JP fandom. Not that Kaido himself is Joy Boy, but maybe his parents gave him the name Kaido, hoping he'll become someone like Joy Boy.😋
138
Luffy's VA predicted today it will take another 7-8 years until the ending of OP. She added she doesn't know how OP will end. (TOEI staff Shimizu knows it.) Tanaka wants to hand over her role as Luffy's VA to Goku's VA (85 years old) when she retires.🤣

Here are my summary of Oda’s TV interview today: I’m so busy that I can’t take a bath while drawing manga, but I shave my face and take a bath when meeting my family.☺️
143
Oda in Jump Festa: Shanks is inded a mysterious character. Will he meet Luffy in Film Red? He has many scenes in the film. I'm surprised Wano arc isn't over yet.😅 I've been looking forward to drawing "that" final scene of Wano arc!😍

In a radio live-program yesterday, JP comedian Sanma said Sun God Nika might be based on himself. Funnily enough, his friend Oda was listening to the radio and instantly sent him a message, "Nika isn't based on you😂" He added, "Next time Nika appears, he/she will show his face😍

Trivia: There is a reason why geisha Osome's pet is a mouse. Osome (お染) means "dye". About 200 years ago, geishas in Fukagawa region were known to wear a gray-"dyed" kimono. Its color was called Fukagawa Mouse (深川鼠). Oda's research skill is amazing.😋
148
Here is Oda's wholesome message about chapter 1000 in the latest OP Magazine.😊
149
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…

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.😋
Translating One Piece news randomly. Big fan of Oda's interviews.😍 I'm native Japanese🇯🇵, but I usually tweet in English.
