How many "Devil Fruit" are there? And, what kind of fruit are they?
If you want to know what they are, please just continue reading my manga. How many are there? From the rumors I've heard, there are over 100. And many people with the special abilities are at "that place".

This is a hardcore fan question, but in Masaya Tokuhiro's Watery Friend: Kappaman Volume 1, Page 93, Panel 4, why is "Eiichiro Oda" written there? Were you working on it as an assistant or something?
Whoa, scary! You noticed. Yes, I was an assistant. My history as an assistant manga artist includes work on Shinobu Kaitani-sensei's Midoriyama Police Gang, Masaya Tokuhiro-sensei's Jungle King Tar-chan and Kappaman, and Nobuhiro Watsuki-sensei's Rurouni Kenshin. I learned many things from those three. Seriously, I respect them all as manga artists and as people.

This is a question for Oda-sensei. When did you decide to be a manga artist? And what kinds of things did you do to become a manga artist? Please tell me.
First of all, I decided to become a manga artist when I was four years old. The instant I learned that such a job existed in this world, I thought, "I don't have to work when I grow up!" and made the decision. But it was in about 8th grade that I started drawing seriously. What kinds of things? Doodles and such. Even now, I doodle in my sketch pad as I think of stories.

Ei-chan, please give us your vital statistics! (Is that your real name?)
It's my real name. So, um… I was born on January 1, 1975. I'm a Capricorn, blood type A, year of the rabbit, and I like movies. I'm trying to do my best.
#SBS Corner#Vol 4#Chp 32#//this question is from 1998 which means this was when Eiichiro Oda was roughly 24

Who exactly is "Mikio Itoo", a character common to the three manga "One Piece", 'Butsu Zone,' and 'Rurouni Kenshin'? It was not clarified in 'Butsu Zone' either, so I would really like to know.

You guys found them? All of them? There really is someone with the name "Mikio Itoo". He's in "Butsu Zone" (now in Jump Magazine's "Shaman King", it's a "Sandan Takei" (aka Takei Hiroyuki) manga), and in "Ruroken" (Rurouni Kenshin) he also appeared as a traveler. All the "Mikio Itoo" in all 3 mangas are indeed the same person. If you ask me who he is, all I can say is that he fought many battles along with his friend throught out the desert, and his sharp shooting saved him and his friend many times. Soon in the future, he'll make an appearance in front of everyone.

I got a question~♡ Why does Zoro always wear an uncle-like haramaki? Please tell me.
How rude!! You there, sit down there for a moment!!! Now listen up! Remember well that the haramaki is Japan's pride as the strongest warm clothing and a nice fit fashion piece for fighters!!! Reflect on that! You can go home!

I have a question. What are Nami's three sizes? Please tell me, seriously.
I see. That's serious, really. Alright, I understand. This is something I don't know yet, so I think I will go measure it from now on! Well then! I'm off!! Aah!!
Huh?! My three sizes?!
Ah, you scared me... You're here just in time, Nami. Well then, let's get started! Here we go... *POW* Owww!!
Okay, you can measure me, but... it's expensive, you know?
Huh...? How much...? What!? That much?! Can I even pay that amount?! *glint* Now!! Right away!! *SMACK WHACK!!* Owww!!
If you don't have the money, there's no point in talking to me! Make sure to bring enough next time! ♥ See you! ♥
D......damn it! W...what a shame!! B...but! I will definitely measure her someday!! Be patient, young man! I will keep my promise!!

Is the poop-like pattern on Klahadore's suit literally poop, or does it have some other meaning...?
It's poop.

So, Sensei, do you like animals? I have this feeling that in each cover art, there's always at least one animal...
Indeed, there are animals on the cover arts. While it's true that I like them, I think my level of affection for them is 'average'. I just enjoy drawing animals. There's something fun about capturing that fluffy feeling. In particular, I like pandas who look comically funny by nature, and wombats who seem like they could be on a wanted poster. Oh, and I also like the expression on owls that look like they were shot at with a gun.

Why does Luffy always refuse to kill his enemies? When reading the manga, he didn't kill Mohji, and he also didn't kill Helmeppo or Captain Morgan. Morgan was killed by Zoro, but why?
Ah, that's a good question. First of all, Morgan is still alive. Right now, he is in prison thanks to his former subordinates. Why not kill him? In this era, people are risking their lives for their beliefs and fighting for them. Luffy is shattering his enemies' beliefs in battle. For enemies, having their beliefs crushed and being defeated is equivalent to experiencing pain as if they were dead. I believe, the question of whether to kill or not is secondary; winning or losing is what matters to those pirates.

How far can Luffy's arms stretch? Please tell me.
They stretch quite a bit. Right now they stretch about 72 Gomu Gomus. Luffy said the other day that he wants to be able to stretch them to 100 Gomu Gomus.

I came up with a new move for Luffy! Step 1: He uses 'Rubber-Rubber Balloon' to inflate his belly. Step 2: Then, he stabs a hole in him with 'Rubber-Rubber Pistol' (or Zoro's sword, if you prefer). Step 3: A BIG EXPLOSION!! The name will be 'Rubber-Rubber 'Explosion' '!!
Thanks for thinking about it! But, Luffy would die, y'know? He would.

Why is Mohji's hair styled like that?
He was just born that way. Only those two patches grow long easily. Leave them unattended, and he'd look like a rabbit.

Luffy's treasure is his straw hat. So, is your treasure also a straw hat, sensei? If not, tell me~~!!
My treasure? Ah, of course, it's ALL OF YOU, MY READERS!

Why does Luffy have absolutely no 'sense of tension' whatsoever?
That's definitely because the guy's a total idiot. Huhuhu.

About Captain 'Clown' Buggy! Are those things sticking out from both sides of his hat, Captain Buggy's real hair? Or are they just decorations (a wig)? I'm dying to know! But if it's real hair… Captain Buggy's got some long hair, huh…?
Yep. This question also popped up a ton. Let me just show you already.
