>>29806 While Oda did work under Nobuhiro Watsuki for a while, Mashima did not. The similarities in the styles of the two can be attributed to the fact that both manga-ka were heavily influenced by Akira Toriyama, especially his cartoonier, and more Dragon Quest-y stuff. Either way, while the styles of the two have certainly diverged more over time, even when comparing early Rave Master to early One Piece, the art and story-telling really aren't all that similar. On the other hand, I can definitely see someone getting confused by the anime designs.
