Here is my summary for manga about restaurant where Oda worked part-time in high school days.😋 You can read online. shonenjumpplus.com/article/entry/…

Here is my translation of Oda's message about ONE PIECE editors' official Twitter account today. Oda talked about YouTuber.☺️
228
Oda (2012): When creating a protagonist, it is important not to make him too strong. For example, Akainu is so strong that he can put an end to One Piece within a year. Akainu (Bunta Sugawara) is the most handsome guy in the world. I'll take good care of him.🥰
229
Oda played Pokemon Go only in his room for 2 years (2018). He longed for legendary Pokemons.😂 After his doctor warned him that Oda could die early at this rate, Oda decided to take a walk twice a week. When Oda first met former editor Iwasaki, he asked, "Do you play Pokemon Go?"… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

OP chapter 1000 is approaching. Oda jokingly said he’d like to start a new manga called “Two Piece” after OP according to his editor in February😂 (youtu.be/NrpyQrfXCiA) Oda said in 2007 that he was longing for Akira Toriyama’s style who released a short manga once in a while.
231
Oda (2009): If I drew everything in my head in the Marineford War arc, each chapter would be at least 50 pages.💪 twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
232
The designs of Kaido's henchmen remind me of Oda's talk with Takehiko Inoue: What I want to do most is not creating a story but creating weird-looking characters. OP serialization gets longer and longer since I add episodes for those characters. Inoue: That's opposite from me.😂
233
Here is my translation of Yamato and Ace VA's message about OP anime tomorrow. Anime will focus more time on their talk than manga.🔥
234
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."✨
235
Today some Oda's sketches of prototype OP chapter 1 were revealed in a TV show. Oda complained editors' meeting had kept rejecting OP for a year, but it was not because OP was badly written but because they believed Oda could do more with his outstanding talent.😊 twitter.com/mana__/status/…
236
According to the magazine, Oda said, "If I'm allowed to draw 30 pages each week, I'll soon finish submitting them". Editor said Oda spends much time on deciding how to cram his ideas into 17 pages. There are about 10 fonts in OP, all of which are specified by editor, not Oda😉
237
Today July 22nd is the official ONE PIECE day. Here is my summary of editors’ Live-streaming event aired 2 hours ago😋 (source: youtube.com/watch?v=x1x-JW…)
238
In 2015, editor Sugita was annoyed with Oda for submitting his manuscript so late, but when Sugita received it and read it, he couldn't help crying because the chapter where Rebecca meets Kyros was so touching. Oda himself cried when drawing it.😭 (2020)
239
It’s Oda’s nice decision that both Kaido and Luffy mentioned “guts” (根性 in Japanese) in chapter 1002, the latter of which sounds funny. Oda loves the word 根性, so it may be a good idea to create a small list about when he used 根性 in OP chapters with official translations👍
240
Official translation about Zoro's bounty is different from Japanese version. His bounty is 1100001100 in JP, while Viz official says 1.111 billion. Hopefully, OP official Twitter account will clarify it.😅
241
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"!!
242
Here is my summary of chapter 3 in ONE PIECE Novel Ace Volume 2. Ace fights Jinbe in this chapter.🌊 Blackbeard has some highlight scenes in chapter 4 and 5.😍
243
Toriyama in 2015: Hey, Eiichiro Oda! I'd appreciate it if you promote the DB film to your huge OP fandom!
After this message from god, Oda hurried to a theater to watch "Resurrection F".
Oda : What the heck is F? ...OMG, so F signifies that guy! Super Saiyan Blue is cool!😋
244
Oda sends the numbers of his blood pressure to his doctor every day. The doctor has been warning him about the numbers being too high, but Oda insists an ideal blood pressure can't always be applied to everyone and therefore there is no problem.😋
245
In the latest chapter of ONE PIECE, it’s revealed that Drake belongs to Tobi Roppo, 6 strongest Headliners. Tobi Roppo is one of Kabuki techniques, which is probably why Viz left it untranslated. I'd like to compile Oda's themes in Wano arc🤠.
246
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.
247
There is pun between Kaido's Rag-Naraku and chapter title Naraku. 1) Ragnarok means the end of the world of gods and men in Norse mythology. 2) In Kabuki play, Naraku means an area underneath the stage". It fits Big Mom's situation who falls off from the stage called Onigashima😄
248
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.😍
249
Chapter 939 shows Oda’s wisdom because not only the title but also Zoro's line is based on a proverb. Zoro stops worrying about comrades, saying ship won’t go forward with too many captains.. It is based on Japanese proverb, "Too many captains cause a ship to climb up a mountain"
250
ONE PIECE chapter 928 is officially out. A beautiful character called Komurasaki appears in this chapter. She may be the woman Oda was talking about in “26th Log” book published about 1 year ago.😍 He said, “I should make a beautiful woman appear in *there* in the future.!!” 😎
Translating One Piece news randomly. Big fan of Oda's interviews.😍 I'm native Japanese🇯🇵, but I usually tweet in English.
