HOLY SHIT LOOKIT WHAT ODA DREW IN THE NEW SBS.THIS IS AWESOME.
WHY IS USOPP THE PRETTIESTWHYYYMY SPECIAL FEELINGS ARE ALL CONFUSED
Sanji <3
ROBIN! WHAT HAS HE DONE TO YOU!?
Oh my.Official rule 63.
Robin so manly <3Namizou, why do you have a Luffyface.
The best is BrookAlso, SBS?
Robin is scary...
I really want to know what they're saying. I bet Luffy's telling them all she's going to be the pirate queen.
>>637Made her into a badass male
>>654THERE'S MORE. Oda officially revealed their intended ethnicities in this volume:Luffy: BrazilZoro: JapanNami: SwedenUsopp: AfricaSanji: FranceRobin: RussiaChopper: CanadaFranky: America (Almost definitely referring to USA, probably)Brook: AustriaI'm kind of saddened that he didn't acknowledge Usopp's mother's heritage as Meditteranean, but this isn't the first time he's forgotten Bachino.
>>660Yeah, Usopp does seem to be Afro-Mediterranean.
>>660One Piece - a multiethnic rainbow. A multiethnic rainbow made of awesome.
>>660,,,, Namis... swedish*Mouth starts to froth**Dies*
Luffy as brazil makes lots of sense really, and zorro being japanese was obvius. I mean: KATANA KATANA KATANA.Sanji: Is really really a fun take on French StereotypingBut nami.. sweish. ODA! I LOVE YOU!
>>660Also,>Vivi: EgyptianBecause DUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>660I wonder if from this we can draw theories about new Crew members, Like if a new member will be based on Germany or Italy or some such.
>>664She was fairly obvious if you think about it, what with the "You guys fight I'll hold your wallets" personality and all.
>>668Not to mention windmills. But I think that's Northern Europe in general. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Imagining Robin in winter clothing is so easy. But I really expected her to be Egyptian.Also, Luffy can never be allowed to use the Internet.
>>660IN SOVIET RUSSIA, GIRL RAPES YOU!
>>671Also, we can now make crazy Cold War jokes ALL WE WANT!
>>668That's dutch and northern germany mostly. Of course we have some to.
>>668Oh.. god. I didn't think of it that wayOda you ol kidder. You know use to well. Beautiful women and playing both sides and YOU FIGHT I'LL GROW RICH!
>>667I DEMAND A BRITAIN.OR SCOTLAND.
>>670and suddenly this joke about online gaming makes a little more sense.
>>660Because if we have to have an Austrian Governor in California, shouldn't it be one who can kick the jams?
NOW IS COWARD KILLING TIME!
Russian!Robin only strengthens the parallels between her and Susan Ivanova. They weren't very strong to begin with, but I was introducing my friend to OP while she was introducing me to B5 so these sorts of things are bound to happen.
This makes me wonder...Crocodile is Italian, obviously.Doflamingo is Spanish, obviously.Jimbei is... Japanese? Sounds about right.Mihawk is Romanian.Kuma is German.Boa? I'd say Grecian but honestly I have nary a clue.As for Moria, your guess is as good as mine.
>>690>Boa? I'd say Grecian but honestly I have nary a clue. this makes sense considering all the mythology references in her character.
>>690TransylvanianBut Doflamingo being Spanish is a good point, such a powerful character for what was the major superpower in that sort of era
Aokiji is Japanese from the sound of his name but look kinda black.Sengoku is Chinese
Akainu strikes me as American fro some reason
>>692She pretty much is Calypso, to a certain extent.
>>694The three admirals are all based on famous Japanese actors and their codenames are taken from the legend of Momotaro.They're pretty obvious in ethnicity.
>>701Akoiji and Akainu don't strike me as Japanese. Kizaru looks Japanese and they all do look like the actors there based off if that makes any sense
>>629Where is a permanent link to this that I can use elsewhere (or should I just make my own)?Also, where the hell IS the SBS anyway? Is it part of the volume collections, or does it come out ever chapter?
>>707Only in the volume collections. Sometimes the questions are half-insightful, half jokes and useless answers, other times it's mostly just useless but interesting information.TRANSLATED OP IMAGE:LUFFY: I'LL EAT SALAD AND BECOME KING OF THE PIRATES!!ZORO: THREE-SWORD STYLE? NO WAY, I'D CHIP A TOOTH.NAMI: WHO'S THE FUCKIN' NAVIGATOR ON THIS SHIP?USOPP: IF I WENT ON THAT ISLAND, I'D FEEL LIKE I WAS GOING TO DIE.SANJI: SWEETS ARE MY SPECIALTY.CHOPPER: DOCTOOOOR! (CAN'T READ THE REST)ROBIN: YOU GUYS ARE ASSHOLES.FRANKY: ISN'T THIS WEEK'S ME SUPER? (SHE USES "ATASHI")BROOK: ?
Other questions from this volume, courtesy of Greg from http://www.thegrandline.com/onepiece.htmlThose eyelashes are Iva's real eyelashes and Death Wink is NOT Haki.Someone noticed that Saldeath's pitchfork was a flute and Oda admits that he didn't want to get caught up describing the detail of Saldeath's flute.Why do New'comers' wear tights? Because they're there. Same as a mountain would climb a mountain before them.Granny Nyon has the same Butt-Butt Chin as Franky.Someone comments on Oda's inner flap comment from Vol 54 and worries that Dr. Kureha might die next year (because 'people lived to 140') Oda says she's safe. People that only have a year left wouldn't show their belly button in a snow country.Wow.Summary of question: Reader asks why Oda doesn't do things like, "Design a DF to be used in the manga!", like some others do. They suggest some dumb fruits. Oda's reply from when he gets to the point:Yeah concerning gathering [ideas]. I don't do it. I don't want anything. Maybe it's a little cold of me but I do't want anyone else's ideas. My editors change from time to time but the very first thing I say to them never changes, "Don't even try to give me any ideas." "I thought of all the people and of all the stories!", is the kind of confidence I strive for. If you depend on someone for something you'e bound to do it again and if you fail because of them you're bound to claim it's their fault. If it goes well, it's because of your effort, if you fail, it's your own fault. That's what I like. So long as it isn't related to the main story I'm always looking for ideas. Like the Crew Member with animals covers [between mini-arcs]. I'm looking for gags for that. If you were to write me something like, "Please draw this character doing such andsuch with this animal.", I'd love to draw it.
>>714Luffy hid NOT inside Hancock's cloak, but inside her China dress. Whew.If a tanuki and reindeer got married they'd have a Chopper.This is a long answer and kinda funny but I'm out of time so the short of it is, Croc was able to get his cigar and clothes from New'comers' who have been gathering that kind of stuff. It may not be his own.A dream called 'ambition' is what's inside Hannyabal's chin.You know the nationalities.The 'ba' in Japanese for Death Wink is written with three marks [ba'''] instead of two indicating the 'b' sound instead of 'h'. A reader asks how to pronounce it. Oda says you need to say it so hard as spew more than three drops of spit out when you say it: "BACHYOOON!"Also a great reason to buy this volume is this volume's hidden art under the cover flap. Spoilered for awesome.
>>690The Boa sisters are definitely Grecian or Roman. They had the whole Gorgon thing going for them.
>>716>Luffy hid NOT inside Hancock's cloak, but inside her China dress. Whew.Wait... So his arms and legs were wrapped around her body under her clothes and she DIDN'T have a heart attack?
>>714>Yeah concerning gathering [ideas]. I don't do it. I don't want anything. Maybe it's a little cold of me but I do't want anyone else's ideas. My editors change from time to time but the very first thing I say to them never changes, "Don't even try to give me any ideas." "I thought of all the people and of all the stories!", is the kind of confidence I strive for.

Like the Crew Member with animals covers [between mini-arcs]. I'm looking for gags for that. If you were to write me something like, "Please draw this character doing such andsuch with this animal.", I'd love to draw it.This sort of thing is what I love most about Oda.
YO DR.NURSE!?DO YOU HAVE SKYPE!?IF NOT THEN GET IT, IF SO THEN GIVE ME YOUR SKYPE NAME AND YOU CAN BLAB WITH US ON SKYPE ABOUT ONE PIECE!
>>660I'm now imagining Luffy playing an MMO. Also, I'm going to read Robin's lines with a Russian accent from now on, and Franky being AMERICAN from AMERICA makes waaaay too much sense.>>629OH SHIT, NAMI AND LUFFY SWAPPED FACES. Also, HOLY SHIT BUTCH DYKE ZORO.
now I understand why Franky is my favoriteSUPAAAAAAAAAAA
>>816He's more American than the Hetalia character.
Why Robin not fancy man!?
>>835Oda already did her like that. Now it's Robin Smash Time!
>>836
>>852The Japanese fanarts have come pouring in.
>>709I for one approve of manly, surly Robin.
I for one couldn't handle being only one of two males in the entire crew.Way too much bitchy PMS, and listening to OH GOD D: conversations like "Hey, our Periods have synched up!"
>>857You are now imagining Zoro and Sanji sqabbling over how much they hurt in comparison.
>>853Poor Zoro and her sliced-up tit.
WHO'S
THE FUCKIN' NAVIGATOR
ON THIS SHIP?
>>869>>870>>871>>872I'll navigate you to the New World, Namizou.and we all know exactly what I mean by that
>>873Did you make that name up, or is that in the actual column?
>>877Nami made it up herself, remember?Hint: Lola.
>>675 I always pictured Whitebeard as being british.
>>880so did I kind of like if Winston Churchill was 10 feet tall and could create seismic shockwaves with his fist. Damn do i love this show
>>887I think World War II would have been more interesting if Churchill could do that.
>>853Should... not... WANT...>>857Oh god, IMAGINE FEMALE LUFFY, ZORO, AND SANJI, ALL MENSTRATING AT ONCE.
>>903>Fem!Zoro menstratingIf she's anything like the real Zoro? Pints and pints and pints and pints and pints. Dunno about Sanji. Luffy would freak out every time - "AHHHHHH! GUYS, I'M BLEEDING! I'M DYING TO DEATH!"
>>905>Pints and pints and pints and pints and pints
<3
>>921
>>701If you take their real names, thoughSakazuki: JapaneseBorsalino: Sounds Italian to meKuzan: No clue.
>>905>>903And yet, we never talk about this sort of thing when it comes to Nami or Robin.
>>925I dunno, sometimes when Nami goes off on violent fits of rage and various other emotions in the space of a minute I go 'yup, it's that time of the month'.
>>926Robin, on the other hand, is made of subtly and nightmare fuel. You don't know what time it is until it's too late.Why am I having this conversation?
>>926Well... Look at who she hangs out with. wouldn't this fruit loop send you through a wide gamut of emotions?
>>928Oh God, Robin.Imagine you're sitting on the deck of the Thousand Sunny, taking in the sun, your eyelids getting heavy. Let's just pretend you're Zoro, green hair and everything. You're napping. Suddenly you feel a few drips - the weather's spitting, and sure enough, that rain rather quickly becomes a torrent. You're still not in the mood for getting up, so you lie back for a little longer - until you hear someone screaming.Your eyes snap open to the sight of a deranged Luffy. He looks like he's suffered an attack - he's covered in blood. You force yourself upright, instinctively grasping your swords. Puddles of scarlet surround the two of you. Luffy's hands shake, soaking up falling water like broken cups. He looks traumatised. "I'm-!!""Captain!!"You're a man hardened by battle, but for some inexplicable reason your gut instinct stops you in your tracks. Take in your surroundings - you're covered in blood as well. Red sea is woven across the ship. You don't know much on what happened, but your imagination easily answers that. You suddenly feel sick. You're probably too late - but for what?"Captain, what--?!""It's not.... it's not...!!"You hear a light, feminine giggle from the inside of the Sunny. That could be the source of what happened - another pirate crew hijacked your ship, attacking your comrades. That alone should be enough to send you running to find everyone else. And yet the man in front of you, Captain Luffy, has something to say...?You can't bear the silence anymore. "It's not what?!" Then you pause once more. 'It's not... the weather...?'The anticipation plays you like a sap. Minds thinking alike, you both glare to the skies. The masts and the sails..."My God... it's full of vaginas..!!"
>>937
>>937...DAMN IT, ENDPIECE!
>>937You're being deported to Siberia. You have one hour to pack.
>>937I...
>>937AHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>947>>945>>942>>941>>940>>939>>938Yeah... this is why I normally stay out of non-serious One Piece talk. But hey, now you're imaging Fem!Franky menstrating oil manually, isn't that great? Also, if you got Fem!Chopper pregnant while she was in Arm Point or something, would she still be pregnant if he was in normal form or what? And what happens to Fem!Usopp's nose, is that now a cute little button-nose with vertical nostrils or what? Come on, help a guy out here.
Also, Fem!Luffy could take dozens of guys inside her at once. You know it could happen. You're imagining it right now, aren't you? How gay is it if 20 pairs of balls are touching at the same time? In vagina, ass and mouth each?
>>951I've thought far too much about the... mechanics of Monkey D. Luffy's ass before I saw this, Endpiece. I don't need any more mental exploration.Also,>oil>not colaI'm disappointed in you.
>>952Yeah, for some reason the word "cyborg" in my head brought up oil before the word "SUPER" brought up cola. I don't know what came over me, sorry.
>>948It's not like most of that didn't occur to me before. Keep going, this is comedy gold.
>>952I think I remember Spreeses came up with something like that on another thread after I egged him on to continue. I can't remember exactly what, but I think it involved Monster Chopper.
>>957Found it >>/jam/32261
It was only a matter of time.
>>966Calling him Mancock will never not be funny to me.
Seriously, way to open the flood gates, Oda.
>>980Who says it wasn't his intention?
I wish that image were colored so we could finally get some canon eyecolors up in this bitch.
>>991>Canon EyecolorsFor who exactly?
