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..🥰

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😋

"Hey, Luffy! Why not quitting a pirate?" I'm wondering about her intention..😍

Oda's message about new OP video game "Odyssey":
It about 3 years ago that the staff asked me to draw characters of this game, right? When I took a look at its video, I felt strongly immersed as if it were a "film"!!
213
This Japanese user interestingly pointed out;
Luffy, who has become Joy Boy, brings people smiles.🥰

Oda (1998): I'd rather draw Straw Hats just chilling on their ship than fierce fight scenes.⛴️
*I'm wondering when we'll see Straw Hats on Thousand Sunny again. Maybe around chapter 1070..?😋

When Oda met editor Iwasaki for the first time, he asked, "Do you play Pokemon Go?"
Editor: Yes, I'm level 19.

Today I visited Oda's hometown Kumamoto. Before his debut, he worked in a steak restaurant "Baratei" here. Baratie in OP is based on it. According to the owner-chef, Oda broke many plates and ate food without permission like Luffy.😂 Took some pics.

Funnily enough, Luffy is mentioned in an English textbook for Japanese students.😂

According to Luffy's VA interview today, the voice recording of Film Red has already been finished. When she started talking about if Luffy meets Shanks in the film or not, the staff instantly gave her a warning.😂

223
The pic says: Some months ago, Oda's editors asked him, "Why not take breaks for about a month since you're so busy this summer?" Oda "What? Breaks? Don't you know how much my audience waits for my manga!?😡.... Well, I accept your offer!!😍"
224
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..)
225
Oda's joke in the pic is funny. 🤣
Uta: Hey, Luffy. Stop being a pirate. Hey, Oda-san. Stop taking breaks.
Oda: Shut up!!
