Q: Is there a rule inside your work?
A: They won't fly! (laugh) Because if they fly, they won't need ships anymore. Also, they'd be able to do anything... I'm really focusing on the aspect of sailing the seas. Also, I had a sorcerer in a short story once, but I won't be using that in the series. Any preposterous situations are all created by the devil fruits. That one point is rather supernatural, but everything else is normal.Comickers (1998)

The main target reader of ONE PIECE is 15-year-old male.
SWITCH (November 2009)And this is a manga for boys so I won’t draw anything about relationships. I get a lot of letters from female readers asking me to cover some kind of relationship but if that’s what you want to read, go read a girl’s manga, that’s not my job. I don’t care if someone falls for Luffy, but it’s something that would be over before you know it. But knowing Luffy, I don’t think that kind of thing would be a problem. (laughs)

"The thing I want to do most in my comics is really not stories, it’s character models. I think like, “Is this style of person possible?” The time I spend doing all kinds of different designs is fun."
Things like how muscular the body should be to go with a certain facial structure is something that, in the end, I pay no attention to, though (laughs). The times where I have created a certain character silhouette that no one’s ever seen before those moments make me the happiest. And, once I’ve created it, I want to use it as quickly as possible. I create episodes for just that reason... I do that over and over, so the story gets longer and longer." Inoue Takehiko Pia (2009) Mετάφραση απο Gottsuiiyan
- And so One Piece was born and its popularity spread like wildfire but did you ever think it would be this big?
Oda: Well of course I knew that if I drew pirate stuff it would be interesting but I never thought it would happen that fast. It instantly spread and flared up in popularity. But since many things in this world have a way of vanishing before you know it, it’s pretty scary when I think about it. MEN'S NON-NO (2009) Μετάφραση απο τον Greg http://www.thegrandline.com/odanon.htm
John Irons: What is Luffy's mother like? Was she beautiful? What happened to her? Did she die when Luffy was a baby?
Oda: I think she's alive. I'm still thinking hard about this. [Laughs] But if she does appear in the story, then she'll be a very tough-looking woman. And strict. There's no way that she's a beautiful mother. She's got this typical middle-aged woman's permed hair. Speaking about families, I did a backstory for Nico Robin and her family. That was actually the first time for me to draw a mother in a character's memory. Up until that point, I'd never drawn a blood relation. In Chopper's case, he's called a son even though he's not blood-related. So I've put in a message there saying that you can still call someone who's not related by blood your family.

- Σπόιλερ:
- Q: The world of ONE PIECE has many different kinds of pirates with unique styles. How and when did you first think of the idea to write a manga about pirates?
Oda: Ever since I was little, I liked pirates. As a child I really liked an anime series called Vicke the Little Viking. It was about a little kid who admires Vikings, and his dream is to become one of them when he grows up. As I did research on pirates for ONE PIECE, I realized that Vikings are a type of pirate. I feel that it's awesome to have friends on your team, just like in the Vicke series. It may not be the best comparison, but I feel like that series' spirit is carried on within my work.
Q: If you could join any pirate crew in ONE PIECE (except for the Straw Hats), which one would you join and why?
Oda: Hmm. Except the Straw Hats… I think it would be awesome to be in Buggy's crew. They seem to be very carefree, and it would be really fun because even the subordinates can make fun of the captain. But if I was really strong, I would want to be in the Blackbeard Pirates.
Q: Your manga is famous for not only its incredible action, but its heartfelt moments as well (we've certainly cried some “manly tears” around the office). What is your secret for eliciting such powerful emotional responses from people?
Oda: The thing is, I get bored easily. So if my manga was just about the action, or comedy, or tearjerking moments, more than anybody, I would get bored. So I change up the style of the series to keep up my motivation to draw the series. The real secret? I think of the plots and scenes when I'm tired. The only way that I can think of a new idea is to think about it a lot without sleeping or eating. That's the only way that I know, because humans can only come up with truly new ideas when they reach their limit. So every time I am done with my manucript, I am completely exhausted.
Q: It's no secret your manga sells like gangbusters and has even set records in Japan. Yet your manga hasn't strayed far from its roots. It's still as pure and honest as it was in the beginning. What is your secret for dealing with success
Oda: To this day, I've never truly felt pressure about becoming successful. I always try to stay focused on making manga for just a single audience, because in most circumstances, you read manga by yourself. So whenever I draw manga, I have only one reader in my mind myself as a 15-year-old. I have no idea how other people would feel, so I turn back to the 15-year-old me to make a judgment on what is awesome or not. I always try to stay true to myself, and somehow it resonates with the kids who read my manga.
Oda: I only have the ending of ONE PIECE in my mind, and nothing else. But knowing the end point, I weave the story and make story arcs that build up to it.
Q: ONE PIECE has beautiful color spreads. What is your process when making them, and how long does it take?
Oda: I've drawn a lot of color illustrations. Recently, it takes me more time to think about what to draw than to actually draw it. But if it's an incomplete idea, I would get bored while drawing. So until I find something that I really want to draw, I just think, sometimes the entire day. I feel like now it's harder to choose what to draw than when I started serializing ONE PIECE.
Oda: I listen to music a lot when I am making manga. I enjoy every genre of music, whether it's Japanese or foreign. I create a playlist that is a soundtrack to a new story arc, and listen to it over and over again when I am working.
Q: Digital manga, like Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha, is starting to take off in America. What are your thoughts on digital manga?
Oda: I think digital is cool for manga as long as it doesn't interfere with the way it's intended to be enjoyed by the readers because the flow of panels and the use of spread images in ONE PIECE is unique compared to traditional manga. Otherwise, I've always imagined that the experience of reading digital manga is similar to reading books in print, and neither is better or worse.
Q: Do you have any last comments for the U.S. fans that enjoy this series via SJ Alpha?
Oda: When you are reading ONE PIECE, you might come across weird scenes that only Japanese readers can understand. But please bear with me, because I am trying to create a world that can be enjoyed by people everywhere.
Questioner: Many are looking forward to what happens next in One Piece could you give us a message for them?
Oda:: One thing that keeps me motivated to keep drawing One Piece is that I want to draw the last arc. The last arc is amazing! I imagine a final arc that will make Marinefold arc look like nothing!
Questioner: Seriously?!
Oda:: The Marinefold arc really felt like a side trip to me. I didn't expect it to be so popular. So I don't know how readers will take this one. But the thing I think is interesting will be in that last arc. Until then I would like as many of the fans as possible to stick with me. Eternal Log(2012)

And when I think of something, I jot it down in my notebook… It’s really fun to think of the scenes when a new character makes their appearance.” "Jump Ryu" (2015)

[Quotes & Tips προς επιδοξους Mangaka]
- Σπόιλερ:
- A story behind the illustration is important. For example, when I draw a illustration in which strawhats are playing cards, I specify who are in (dis)advantageous position.
- I spend a whole day deciding what to draw in a colorspread. I sometimes ask people around me.
- Basically I use Copic when coloring. Recently I've bought colored pencils from Holpein, which I use in coloring Edoe.
- It bothers me which color to choose when drawing a colorspread. I copy my illustration and try coloring several times.
- There is at least one highlight scene I want to draw in an arc. I create a story toward the scene.
- I don't draw a person who is just posing seriously for a camera since I can't grasp his emotions.
- When I create a story of a chapter, I ask my characters, "What will you do this week?". Then the story emerges itself.
- I keep in mind that I should submit 3 times more fulfilling episodes than normal manga. I want my audience to be satisfied even if they've read only one chapter.
- If myself as a kid enjoys the manga, kids these days can enjoy it, too.
"As a manga artist, you can kind of see which manga artists someone was influenced by by looking at the art or story development." "Machi" (2015)
Being a manga artist, after all, isn’t just about drawing art in a manga fashion. We also have to be able to draw things as we see them, drawing things as if we’d photograph them. To train myself on that, I bought movie magazines and drew the faces of the movie stars who were in there, not a portrait either, but a correctly drawn picture like I’d taken a photograph of them. At the same, I was also working as an assistant back then, and I learned a lot from my time as an assistant too.”"Jump Ryu" (2015)
