After Naruto ended, Kishimoto told Oda that he can now take a walk with his kid on a sunny day whenever he wanted. Oda was so depressed to hear that but he was motivated at the same time to draw OP for the future where he can take a walk anytime.🥰(2018)

According to OP editor, Oda's blood test in hospital showed he is super-good at handling stress.🥰 On the other hand, his eyesight has been getting weaker and it's the reason why Pandaman appears less often these days.. (2017)
231
Oda: I feel frustrated when my audience complains about One Piece characters. For example, when they say "This villain is weak", I can't help thinking then I'll make him much stronger!!💪😋 (2014)

Today Road to Laugh Tale Oda's sketch revealed Kaido's mysterious hidden words to Luffy were "The more you laugh, the stronger you will get!" 😍This part was not well handled in the official translation. The booklet also says, "Imagination is the source of Nika power."💪 twitter.com/sandman_AP/sta…

Interview between Oda and Detective Conan author Gosho Aoyama will be aired in a TV show on 25th July.😍 (Not sure if it is the same interview as the next Shonen Jump.)
236
Label of the liquor next to Shanks says, "Number 5, 67", which might be inspired from "Destiny" symphony No.5 Opus 67 by Beethoven. It may be Oda's answer to the question in chapter 96, "His dream or his destiny..?"😋 #OP1054

Oda's TV interview with Gosho Aoyama 10 minutes ago:
- Only "cowards" can survive in Jump. When drawing manga, I always try thinking, "This chapter isn't entertaining enough yet!"
- My manga got popular worldwide, but I don't think I'm a special person.🥰
238
Oda: About the final saga, I keep in mind I should fool around more.😋 Even if One Piece ends up becoming a manga where my audience complains, "Such ideas are not interesting", it can be said that it is an entertainment for me.
239
@Un4v5s8bgsVk9Xp Translation: About characters, I've finished the inking process over pencil drawing for 10 chapters! There may be some fixes, though. I'll continue drawing my manuscripts for the next 10 chapters. Plus, I'll announce how inking whole chapter is proceeding. I have tons of drafts😋

I just finished watching Film Red.😍

Shanks' bounty 12 years ago is 1.04 (or 1.004) billion berries.
Shanks is known as "the killer of Color of Observation Haki", which doesn't let his opponent see through the future. Shanks uses his burning sword to villains.
242
🔔Red Spoiler: According to Gorousei (Five Elders), Shanks belongs to "Fearland Family". Maybe it means Shanks was a member of the Celestial Dragons..?😍
243
When creating Film Red, Oda asked the film staff, "Now that OP is near the final saga, it's time to tell you guys about all important events that will happen until the end of the story." But all staff instantly declined his offer, saying they don't want to get spoiled too much.😂
244
Oda asked the film Red script writer, "It'd be entertaining if Doflamingo and Crocodile appear in the film." But the writer rejected his offer.😅 I was hoping to see them in theaters..
245
Oda: Shanks is not a perfect cool guy. The most important scene in chapter 1 is where Shanks was at a loss when Luffy got abducted. Anyone can draw just a cool-looking character. But Beckman just smiles and supports him. Thanks to their relationship, Red Hair Pirates can exist🥰
246
The drawing of Oda's father is displayed in Oda's house.🥰 His name is Seiichiro Oda (尾田精一郎), an artist. Seiichiro means "energetic first-born son". On the other hand, Eiichiro (栄一郎) means "glorious first-born son" as in his glorious manga.😍
247
Oda's dragon bath was introduced in the TV show. The dragon was designed by Oda himself.😋

- Huge granade at his studio.😂

Oda said in the TV show that he is jealous of Straw Hats since they're enjoying their journey. He added he's determined to go on a trip every day after OP ends. When Oda was young, he sat by his father and drew an oil-painting of Luffy.😍
Translating One Piece news randomly. Big fan of Oda's interviews.😍 I'm native Japanese🇯🇵, but I usually tweet in English.
