Oda (1998): When Shanks appears frequently in manga, you can assume that One Piece has entered the final saga. 😍

Oda(2022): I'm really ready to wrap up One Piece. As for how many years it will take to finish the final saga, I've already answered this question so many times that I've lost credibility, so I probably shouldn't answer it.😭 But I'm aiming for *3 years*.

Oda: As a 17-year-old Luffy, there was no way he could defeat a strong enemy like Yonko. That is why we needed two years. This is to have Luffy's growth be supplemented by imagination. The reason I chose two years was because I didn't want to make Luffy that much of an adult.😇

Oda(2019): One Piece is not a *bond of Straw Hats*. I hate that kind of thing. When I was a kid, I was not happy with the ending of The Wizard of Oz, that the adventure is itself a treasure. That story was unacceptable. Luffy has a great journey, so give him a proper treasure.👑 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

[Lost in translation] Buggy, Shanks and Kaido/Big Mom declared they will get the One Piece. But they all used different definitions of *get* in the Japanese chapters. Shanks (奪る) sounds much more aggressive than Kaido/Big Mom (獲る). Buggy (取る) sounds peaceful. #ONEPIECE1082 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Yeah, Japanese fans think Imu is *male* because he is called Imu-sei (イム聖) in this chapter, not Imu-Gu (イム宮) like Shalria, Charlos's sister.🤗 twitter.com/Gorila76985224…
Translating One Piece news randomly. Big fan of Oda's interviews.😍 I'm native Japanese🇯🇵, but I usually tweet in English.
