Volume 35 SBS

Chapter 328 (Page 26)

D: Ding-dong! Oda-san, you have a delivery. Beautiful flowers, these are. Oh! There's a card attached. Let's see what it says. "...Start the SBS." Well, good luck with your job and all. Click. P.N. Nanakomi-mi

O: Thank you so much. Wow, so I got a bouquet of flowers. Hmm... wait. THE SBS STARTED!! (Bonnnnn!!)


D: Oda-sensei, on p.104 of Volume 32, panel 6, Chopper and Sanji are dancing, but Sanji is dancing with some old lady!! Who the heck is she?! Just some woman? P.N Amirin

O: Oh... you mean Marilyn? She was "Miss Skypiea" 40 years ago. The most beautiful woman in Skypiea (back then). God Ener is scary, but so is the flow of time (ooh, that was clever.)


D: Does the name "Nora" (in Skypiea) come from "nora-inu" (wild dog)? Or is it from "Monbran Norland"? Did she get the name from Calgara, because he wanted to meet Norland so bad? Thanks!
P.N. Wild Housewife

O: The Nora is from "Norland." Set named her.

(Note: Because the r in Norland is mostly silent, the katakana is "no-rando." If the r was more distinct, it would sound like "norurando.")

Chapter 329 (Page 46)

D: I would like to ask you something, Odacchi. In the first panel of p.21 of Volume 33, why does Robin give Chopper her half-eaten cotton candy? This makes it an indirect kiss. If she wasn't going to eat the whole thing, she shouldn't have started at all!! P.N. I want Robin's proportions!!

O: Look back two pages. "Nami-san, they're selling cotton candy," says Sanji as he brings back two. These are of course for Nami and Robin. It would be unladylike for Robin to take it and give it directly to Chopper, so she shows good manners to Sanji by taking a bite first before handing it over.


D: Oda-sensei-sama. Please hear my question. I was just thinking... WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF MR. 4 GOT HIT BY FOXY'S NORO NORO BEAM? by Chobi

O: OK, to test this out, I'll pretend to be Mr. 4 saying "Oh crap!!" after being hit by the beam. Ready, set, OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH... (Due to page length restraints, answer will be cut short)

Chapter 330 (Page 66)

O: Time for a game!!

It's a secret code game!!

Thank you so much, P.N. Fumigon-chan of Saitama!! Now, let's get cracking!!

(Note: This is totally impossible without knowledge of Japanese.)

Chapter 331 (Page 86)

D: In the SBS Corner from p.148 of Volume 29, you drew Ohiru Rider, remember? Well, here is his friend, "Asa Pierrot" kun! He is Buggy's master, and friend to Ohiru Rider. P.N. Husky

O: Ooh, that's clever. That Ohiru Rider I drew seems to be popular with the readers. It gets drawn in the margins of a lot of fanletters. Here's another character anyone can draw, the "Tsurumihamarumarumushi" man! Check it out.

(Note: Tsuru forms his head and ear (amusing because "tsuru tsuru" means bald/slick), mi makes his forehead wrinkles, ha the eyebrows, maru-maru his eyes, mu the nose and shi the chin.)


Tsurumihamarumarumushiman: Yo.


D: Oda-sensei!! Good morning. Ever since the first day I held a pen and wanted to be a manga artist, I've wondered. "Why can't you draw with a ballpoint pen?!" P.N. Someone Who Idolizes Oda-sensei

O: Huh? Who says you can't? There's no rule that you have to draw with something. You can draw with whatever material you like... just look out for things that have trouble at the printers and when scanning the originals, like crayons. There are some professional artists who draw with autograph pens.

Chapter 332 (Page 106)

O: Hi everyone. In the author comments of Volume 34 on the cover flap, I wrote a song, and it seems that a lot of people know it. Most people recognized it, but didn't know what it was, but some people involved in education said it was a song for children. P.N. Fall-chan from Nagasaki drew up the hand movements.

Chapter 334 (Page 146)

D: Hi there, Oda-sensei. One of the guys in the Franky Family is wearing fishnet tights. Is that his own sense of fashion? Or is that what you're into? I'm so curious, I can't even sleep in class. Please tell me. by Sa->ko

O: If you'll allow to dispute this point, I can say I am not into that kind of thing at all, SWEETHEART.


D: Oda-sensei, I was curious; Is Foxy the Silver Fox's Noro Noro power a Logia type, Paramecia type, or Zoan type? I'll be too anxious for your reply to use the bathroom, so hurry it up.

O: It's a Paramecia (superhuman) type. Logia (nature) type can turn their bodies into something completely different. Zoan (animal) type can turn into animals. Everything aside from those is lumped into the Paramecia (superhuman) category. However, there are some Paramecia who can change their own bodies, as well.


D: Now that so many Devil Fruit have appeared in the series, do you ever wonder if it would have been better to make Luffy eat a different fruit other than the Gomu Gomu Fruit? (P.N. Happy)

O: Nope. I absolutely agonized over this before the series began, but not at all since. I love the idea of a rubberman. Well actually, I've flirted with the idea of the Ero Ero Fruit maybe 13 times since then.

Chapter 335 (Page 166)

D: Good evening, Oda-sensei!!! I was just wondering what the heck those things on Monbran Norland and Monbran Cricket's heads were. Please choose from the following answers.

A: Actual chestnuts
B: Hair
C: Brains
D: I just felt like it
E: Who the hell cares (donnn)
F: Spirit and Soul

OK, let's hear the answer. Oh, and keep up the good work. P.N. From a Martian

O: Ummmmmmmm... Well... uhhh... how about... A.


D: Hello there, Odacchi-sensei! I love-love-love-love-love-love Robin! But there's something that bothers me. She has such clean and beautiful arms, and when she uses the Hana Hana Fruit powers, it makes pretty arms, right? What if someone with really hairy arms ate the fruit? Would they sprout really hairy arms, too? That would be disgusting.

O: Yes. As you can see in the figure above, it is pretty awesome. And so this book's SBS section ends hair. See you in the next hair-raising volume.

Chapter 336

No SBS.
