Holy shit, man. Congratulations. o_O
Wow, CCC that's awesome! Since Oda writes comments under every drawing in the UGP that means he's commented on yours too. You've practically been talked to by Oda!
congrats CCC :D
it couldnt have happened to a better guy
Can someone post the cover of Jump many years ago. (the one from CW) pls… wanna see the whole cover... thanks ^^ Oh and congrats CCC and thanks for the SBS preview Greg
For those wanting to see the Jump cover, it's from 1999:
Congrats CCC, your work really is amazing; hopefully you'll serve as role model and more artists from this side of the planet will try too….
Thanks Greg for the translation, man, that answer about the lenght of the manga really gave me chills, it's as I could feel Oda's love for his manga...

Ehem.I am very happy.
And thank you, Greg, for informing me. Can't wait to pick up the volume when it arrives at my Kinokuniya...
CONGRATULATIONS!
Holy crap, man, that's really awesome.
we get to know the names of all those amazons but we don't get to know the names of any of Kidds crew or the guys in Laws crew or any of the supernovas birthdays O__O Man I was hoping to get to know that stuff >___>; oh well
unless I missed it somewhere O__O still can't wait to pick up the volume and HOLY CRAP CCC!! that's awesome! I'd love to send in some fan art but I wouldn't even know where to send it x_x;
Thank you so much for the info, Greg! ^__^
And yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!! CCC!!! I'm so proud of you, my boy! tears of happines
damn CCC, that's tremendous news!! I'm glad they liked your stuff. I just wonder what was shown? Still though, you f*cking rock!!
i can feel oda's presence on ccc! congrats dude =)
and gereg …what oda said about his manga
gave me chillllls! that man is just so epic!!..not only can he put suspense in the manga but also in an answer to a question :O
all this love! I'm trying hard not to let it go to my head…
Thank you all. I'm really glad this forum exists.
yohohohohoho Time to shine CCC :) Your glory has reached japan :D
So….CCC. You should definitely consider selling a sculpt or two now. You know, strike while the iron is hot? Oda just advertised for you and in doing so easily made the value go up (even higher). Send me 10% for the consulting fee.
WOW!! thanks for the SBS trans Greg. That part really relieves me. Now I can be assured that OP won't be stopped until it's finished. (Not that I don't belive in Oda, but the previous sentence made me worried ^_^;)
And congrats CCC!!! Too bad I won't be able to see it, since lately, the translation version of OP in my country never include UGP ;; oh well… at least it still has the SBS. ^^
Ah, btw, do you mind uploading a scan/cam pic of the pic?? or even better, the link of the pic??
Here are some scan :
<- WT%$#§& is that ??!!! :blink:
We saw it on the cover of a recent Jump (dont ask me which one, I don't remember…) :
And here is CCC's work that was published !!! I just saw it on your Dev page, this is just…. awesome !! My jaw dropped down the floor !!:w00t:
As we say in French : BRAVO !!!!
Congratulations CCC :).
I dreamed today that Oda has a account here on Arlong Park and is talking with us. Too bad that I woke up :(.
Thx Sanji kun for the scans, bravo CCC.
And when i'm right, the map on the book is a part of amerika and the caribbean from the real pirate age.
edit: late 17. century, my study deals with cartography :)
Thanks so much for the scan Sanji-kun! I won't be able to buy the book myself for about another week, so this is great!
(and I assume you did the "highlighting" of my panel? thanks for that too!)
CCC, you might as well kill yourself now as you'll never feel this level of happiness again.
Congrats on the achievement.
And when i'm right, the map on the book is a part of amerika and the caribbean from the real pirate age.
Yep, Abrham Ortelius a Dutch cartographer made some in the 16th century. He is the one who invented the first Atlas of the world (including the "New Word" of America).
I bought a copy of one of his map in Amsterdam and I'm using it to create the custom covers of my Deviant page. Actually I plan to show how the cover looks like when it's "empty". I'll keep you informed about it in my signature !
Hm, does anyone know what Oda's comments on CCC'S piece(s) are?
Pretty damn cool.
Holy Crap! Congratulations CCC!! You have finally scored for America in the gallery! Your figures are too fantastic to ignore.

Abrham Ortelius map "Typus Orbus Terrarum" is a little bit to old, cause the western costline of South Amerika isn't straight enough. I can't tell you the exact year, but i would classify it in the late 17th century. Sry i couldn't hold back, this area is a part of my study.
Hm, does anyone know what Oda's comments on CCC'S piece(s) are?
He says : "Your figures are earth-shaking !" (I translated "earth-shaking from "sumo stamping in a ring at unison" which is tee exact translation)
Oh ! and CCC, of course I highlighted your work !! It's sooooo great !!!

Please reupload the main cover to IMAGESHACK.
please :wub:
Edit: thank you kuroneko :p :wub:
Here, I uploaded it to another server after I got the HEAVY TRAFFIC message
!
I'm 99.99% sure that this has been said before but I'm going to say it again for prosperity's sake:
Saldeath is adorable!
I know, isn't he?
Wow at Hancock being on the cover almost a whole 10 years before she was introduced! Who else was on the cover as I can't make it out?
Is that first page of the SBS explaining why Luffy is immune to Hancock, or her powers in general?
I think it does. Poor perverted Ussop.
Thankyou so much for the scan Sanji-kun!! and awesome work CCC!!
The Kalipha's father question was sent by an Italian pal of mine named Dario. Fucking awesome! Can somebody translate Oda's answer in detail?

OMG OMG I KNOW AN ITLIAN NAMED DARIO TOO… IS IT THE SAME?!?!?:wub:
Do you know if your Dario got reading glasses?
Congrats CCC thats so cool brother
I don't know if the Mods would actually do it but have you guys thought of moving all the volumes to one folder or category? Just a suggestion cause there is so much information you can get from them, it just sucks having to go back and find them all lol
Oda is so awesome. "I want to end the series soon because its becoming too much for all the fans to pick up all of" instead of "I want to end it soon because I'm tired of it." Unlike other series that just milk it and milk it….
Class act, Oda.
(And this also settles the debate on why he had ability recaps for thw BW agents in Impel Down.. legitimate concern that new readers won't know who those guys are, which is what we figured.)
And congrats CCC.
@GREK:
OMG OMG I KNOW AN ITLIAN NAMED DARIO TOO… IS IT THE SAME?!?!?:wub:
Do you know if your Dario got reading glasses?
Yes. He uses glasses. He is our gif maker and he deserve all my admiration for his efforts to let Oda read his question.
R: Oda Sensei, hello. This is the first time I'm writing a letter to you. I always enjoy reading. And I really mean it. In Vol. 53's SBS you said, "I'm gettin' to the point where I'd like to finish off OP.", so I was quick to pick up my brush. Please, don't say that kind of thing. Please don't say things like, "Sorry to make you spend your money." I know it's the SBS and all but I have no question.
O: NO QUESTION!!…that aside, I was shocked at the mountain of letters and postcards I received regarding that comment from 53! Uh, first off, I had in my mind 'The Ideal Serial Manga Length', that is to say, 'The Extent That All Readers Can Purchase All Volumes'. It's a desire of one who writes the story but say for example we now have the SH Pirate Crew with its 9 members. At the start it was just Luffy setting out to sea alone right!? That's something that readers who jumped in along the way just don't know. The adventures they've been through, the growing crew, I want them to know all about it but I can't just tell everyone to buy all 50 volumes. I know that little kids don't just have money! That's why in the past I've tried different things like the collection books [Logs] so they could know it all and now, the companies Caramel Mama and Hearty Ware have helped me realized that dream of 'as cheap as possible'. It's too cheap!! 'Cuz it's free!! NICE FIGHT!!
We've created, "One Piece Web".It's a 'perfect story guide'. It explains the entire story. For the kids who can't afford all the books, go on and read it for free! Access it! (You adults out there buy the books.) Anyway, because I worry about that stuff is why I just let that comment slip out, I'm sorry. I have not lost my motivation yet. There's ONE thing I've wanted to do from the very start. To bring various threads together and show you "The Manga Where The Final Chapter [meaning 'section of'] Is The Most Amazing". In the grand story of One Piece we are but in the middle. If you have the time, please, stick around. I'm still striving to make a story the likes of which no one has ever read before. Now visit that site!
This is excellent. Thanks for the translation.
The part about lack of thought bubbles for Luffy is pretty interesting too, I never noticed.
Sorry to keep going on but what other characters were on that cover from years back? Its really bugging me and I can't find a better version of the cover and am not sure where else I would ask about it

Axe guy could be a giant, maybe te villian of Elbaf.
Arm cannon guy has this "Mr 5" vive going on, the afro, explosive weapon, trenchcoat, but considering Boa's level, not very likely.
Armor guy.. Is the least likely to be a villian, has this vive like the mayor from the town where Buggy was..
Bakuman is making a good name for itself. I'm glad for it. Naruto went for a nosedive on concrete, even though the sales are still nice.
@Alexander:

I still find that funny because I rarely see any other manga hitting 1M on the first week like OP.
