I've been wondering, is there any place where I can read all the SBSs without manually searching for them in scanlations? I'm buying the spanish edition of the manga but it doesn't include them so… :wacko:
SBS Archive

The easiest place to find them is probably on stephen's translations, which are all in plain text at http://www.mangascreener.com/stephen/onepiece/onepiece.html
You still have to click chapter by chapter and scroll down, but it's a lot easier and faster than scanlated.
-
some people have suggested an archive in the past but it's never been done. I would expect it to be something that monster who scanned Blue, Red and CW3 could take on.
-
Thanks a lot! :biggrin:
-
This site has them
-
Oh that was Shylu who proposed it? Did he/she stop updating? 'Cause there's a LOT more than that.
-
omae no kaasan v.2, if you're the owner of the site I think you are the owner of, you've done way too much work yourself to praise me. Didn't you spend three months making that enormous section of your site? When I first saw that, I was pretty blown away.
If you are not the owner of gl.com, I am extremely embarassed, and modestly accept your praise.
- And for your comment, all I did was scan the books. All the SBS corners should be available online as it is, right? Just putting those together shouldn't be that hard, should it?
-
Wow, some of those are hillara-funny.
6. Hold on a minute, is Gaimon-san my father? (I checked with the Ministry of Education).
AHH! Damn, you found out… you checked with the Ministry of Education... So that's how you found out... Gaimon-san was told to keep his mouth shut about this, but... Looks like we can't hide it anymore. Very well! Go see him! That's right, you are Gaimon-san's son! Go and jump into Gaimon-san's heart! Jump with all your strength! And while you're at it, go jump in the sea and cool your head off! You bastard! (ch. 46)
…
4. Oda-sensei! One… Two... JANGO!!!
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… ah!! Good morning!! (ch. 45)
-
If we put these all together, how would we do it?
Scanlating the page would work fine, wouldn't it?
-
Best SBS is from chapter 105..
@SBS:D: Hello!! This is a postcard to Oda-sensei. That's right… Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am "Timmy Maiko"! Does the word
"Timmy" remind you of anything...? Yes... oh yes. "Timmy Ueda"! I am Ueda's younger sister. I owe my big brother for Volume
10. So I sent this postcard in to thank him... Hee(x2)! As his younger sister, I will end this before Oda-sensei can. Because
I am a member of the SBS-Hijacking Group, after all.
"THE SBS IS OVER!"
O: GYAAAAAAAAAHHH! NOT AGAIN!! DAMN YOU TIMMY, DAMN YOUUUUUUU!!also, if people want the SBS questions up to chapter 131..
here you go SBS 1 -131 -
omae no kaasan v.2, if you're the owner of the site I think you are the owner of, you've done way too much work yourself to praise me. Didn't you spend three months making that enormous section of your site? When I first saw that, I was pretty blown away.
No dude, you don't understand. You scanned and edited Red and Blue and CW3. That's a sentence that we shouldn't be able to write in any language for fear of it being too much badass in a single sentence which just reading could cause our brains to explode. What you did is a lot different from scanning a few pages a week over the course of years with a team or actually reading through the manga and writing down facts. I'm still amazed.
also, if people want the SBS questions up to chapter 131..
here you go SBS 1 -131While that's pretty cool Shylu's compilation is really professional and easy/fun to navigate. Perhaps a collaboration?
-
Hmmm well I only put it up in the hopes that someone can translate them. I didn't think just spending a day scanning something was a really big deal. It's way more fun then going to school all day..

Chapter 45
SBS CornerD: Oda-sensei! One… Two... JANGO!!!
O: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... ah!! Good morning!!D: A while ago, a kid from around here asked me, "Where can I go to meet Luffy?" Where can I go to meet Luffy? The North Sea?
The sea in the middle of the earth? The Tone River? Lake Biwa?
O: Hmmmm... it's hard to say where to go in order to meet him. I suppose if you just set off an a relaxing voyage you might find him.
But Buggy and the others are out there too, so please be careful. Please.D: Ummmm, about "1, 2, Jango": what's that striped thing on his chin?
O: A mushroom. Before he ever became a pirate, he was a "wandering dancer". But business wasn't so good, so all he did was sleep.
Without even taking a bath. And eventually a striped mushroom grew from his chin. Since he was hungry, he tried eating the cap
of the mushroom, but it was disgusting! But he gulped it down anyways, and somehow became able to hypnotize people. Therefore,
the striped thing on his chin is a "leftover mushroom".Jango: Phewwww... the dance world is tough. Even though I can do the moonwalk. And the chakram.
Mushroom: pop
Jango: Bleagh!!
Leftovers.Chapter 46
D: Hold on a minute, is Gaimon-san my father? (I checked with the Ministry of Education)
O: AHH! Damn, you found out... you checked with the Ministry of Education... So that's how you found out... Gaimon-san was told to
keep his mouth shut about this, but... Looks like we can't hide it anymore. Very well! Go see him! That's right, you are
Gaimon-san's son! Go and jump into Gaimon-san's heart! Jump with all your strength! And while you're at it, go jump in the
sea and cool your head off! You bastard!D: When I told my friend, "Buggy is sooooo cute" she took a step back and called me a "weirdo"! Am I weird?
O: You are weird!! ...But I like Buggy too. And I'm not weird, am I? ...I'm special. I'm a special exception.D: Please give me Gaimon-san.
O: Here you go. Oh... you should check with his son first, though.D: When an artist is drawing chapter 10, for example , what chapter is being printed in the newest Weekly Jump?
O: I see. I wondered about this myself, years ago. So I understand your curiosity. AT THIS EXACT MOMENT, issue 46 of Jump is hitting
the stands. It contains One Piece chapter 60, "Solution". But I have finished the drafts up through chapter 63,
"I Ain't Gonna Die". So a chapter comes out roughly 3 weeks after I finish it. But that's only my CURRENT schedule.
The people doing these weekly serials aren't actually all the same. I could change if need be. There are various cases.- Chapter 47
D: What happened to the key Shushu swallowed in Volume 2?
O: IT CAME OUT. Shiny and brown.D: When I was reading the SBS corner in volume 4, you said Luffy's arm could stretch about 72 Gomu Gomus, but I was wondering, just how
many liters is 1 'Gomu Gomu'? (I checked with the Ministry of Education)
O: Oh, you again! Son of Gaimon-san. And you looked at the Ministry of Education again... liters, well... You can't put it
those terms, you see? Okay? 1 'Gomu Gomu' is about 10 'Merchen Gomu Gomus'. (merchen is a german word meaning fairy tale.)
1 'Merchen Gomu Gomu' is about 10 'Funky Gomu Gomus', so Luffy's arm can stretch about 7200 'Funky Gomu Gomus'. Got it?D: Where are you from, sensei? It wasn't in your profile in volume 4.
O: From Kumamoto. From Kyushu. From a wonderful place.D: Why don't Luffy and Zoro go by the names "Monkey" or "Roronoa"? Or are those their family names, the Japanese way?
O: Yes. That's it. First family name. Then personal name.D: Is there a mirror on Albida's ship?
O: Whoa! Hey, hey... she's gonna throw that club at me! Don't ask me! Man, what a dangerous question. Something tells me there is no
mirror. DONK!!! Whoa, she threw something!!D: When you read One Piece, a some mysterious characters show up from time to time. Like, in One Piece Volume 5, page 128, in the third
panel, there's an odd guy in the back. Who is he? I'm so interested, I'm not brushing my teeth.
O: No, brush your teeth. Dentists are SCARY. So... you found him. He is a wrestler named "Pandaman". I will introduce him to you some
time later.Chapter 49
D: I know there's the Gomu Gomu Fruit, the Bara Bara Fruit, and all those other Devil Fruit, but let me tell you the one I thought up.
It's called the Gero Gero Fruit (Disgusting Fruit). The power makes you so disgusting, no one ever comes near you. Verrrrrrrry
useful.
O: You eat it.D: I noticed that you never(I think) draw Buggy-kun with his mouth closed. I want to see what his lips look like when they are shut.
Buggy: Gahahahahaha -> shhhhhh -> HAHAHAPWAAAAAAHAHAGYAHAHAHAHAHA!!D: When the question came up about Nami's three sizes (bust-waist-hip) you said "I promise!!". So when are you going to tell us?!!
O: Hehe. I have a friend that comes in quite handy for this. His eye is quite accurate. It's that "weird cook", who can tell a girl's
three sizes with just one look, Sanji-san!!
S: You bastard! I ain't "weird"!! It's "love"! The "cook in love"!! Ah well, thanks for calling me. Just leave this stuff to me.
Nami-chan is so cute. And her style is right on. Now, let's take a look... B86! W57! H86! No doubt about it!! Damn, she's
cute though. Damn, she's a thief though. But I still love her.
O: I kept my promise. Thank you Sanji! crack! Owwwww!
N: What do you think you're DOING?
O: AHH! Nami! Crap. Was I wrong?
N: No, you got it right. Oh well, it's nothing to get worked up about. Bye. walking quickly...
O: ...whoa!! Damn!! My wallet's gone!! Awwwwww.Chapter 50
D: Were there really any woman pirates?
O: Yes, there were. But it was considered bad luck to bring a woman on board a ship in those days, and many of them disguised themselves
as men. There were two woman pirates, Mary Reed and Anne Bonny, who were said to have fought more bravely than any man. By the
way, the woman pirate Arvida whom I used as a model for Alvida, created a pirate crew of all women.D: In a manga from a little while ago, "Oni ga Kitarite" (by Shingagin-sensei) the second panel on page 16 of the first book, I believe,
could only have been drawn by you, Oda-sensei. Were you an assistant there?
O: I can't endure any more of these letters, so I'll go ahead and clear up this matter all at once. Takei Hiroyuki, Shingagin, Ikio
Mito and I were all assistants for "Rurouni Kenshin". And so I helped out my friend Gagin when he started series. And also
worth mentioning is Suzuki Shinya, who just had his debut published, was an assistant for "Rurouni Kenshin", and has helped
me out many times with "One Piece". And that's all the connections between us. OK?D: When I went to the barber a little while ago and asked for a Zoro haircut, I got shaved bald. What should I say to get a haircut like
Zoro's?
O: ASK FOR THE CUT OF A "MAN'S HEART AND SPIRIT".D: In chapter 37, is the man who captured the fake Captain Kuro, the Marine Captain "Axe-Arm Morgan"? When I asked my friend he said they
look the same.
O: He's Morgan. He was a sergeant [gunsou] at the time, and was promoted to Major [Shousa]. From there he strong-armed his way up to a
captain [taisa], and was put in charge of a Marine base. When Kuro looked in his eyes, he must have sensed some commonalities
between them.Chapter 54
D: To Master Ei. What time is it now?
O: Uhhhh… Right now it's... 0:09! Let's start the SBS Corner!!D: Does Shanks like me?
O: I don't care!D: Oda-sensei! A little while ago, my friend came up and said, "I've found the perfect Devil Fruit for you", so I went ahead and ate it.
Now it may just be my mind playing tricks on me, but I get the feeling that all the jokes I say aren't very funny.
O: Ohhhhhh... So you ate that one, eh... That... that's got to be the one. Yes, you have definitely eaten the "Samu Samu Fruit". If
you eat that fruit, only bad jokes come out of your mouth. And to make matters worse, you can't swim. You really got the raw
end of the deal there, my friend. Ha ha ha ha. Laugh it up, laugh it up. Ha ha ha.(Note: Samu(i) means 'cold,' and is often used when someone says a bad joke. Kind of the same as when a comic says "tough audience".)
D: In the first volume, when the bandits enter the bar they destroy the door, so why is it that when they leave, it's repaired?!
O: That was his work. The carpenter "Minatomo-san." He has a short temper, so he cannot go by a broken door or what have you without
repairing it. It wasn't my mistake.Minatomo: Don't joke around, punk!!
Quit lookin' at me.Chapter 55
D: Why does Sanji-san's eyebrow curl up at the end? Please give a real answer!!
(Note: This letter is written so that the last word is actually "dork", but it looks like it is still "please".)
O: Hey!! You, sit right there!! Now listen!! Everyone lives in circles!! The sun, the moon, and the earth all spin around!! And!! If
the earth suddenly stopped spinning!! It would be a disaster, tidal waves everywhere!! Now remember that Sanji's eyebrow
channels that circular energy!! Reflect upon this!! You may go!!D: A question. How old is Sanji-san?
O: 19 years old. The same as Zoro.D: Nami, Nami, Nami, Nami, I love Nami. I won't give her over to that Sanji guy!! However, I propose a duel, for Nami. Tomorrow, at 3
in the afternoon, on the Red Line. Be there! Oda-sensei, is this okay?
O: OK!! Fight!!D: How many assistants do you have? What do they do?
O: There are four. They help me with the backgrounds and so forth. They stay at my house and help me for 3 days and 2 nights a week, but
to tell you the truth, I wouldn't be able to finish a final draft without them. However, it's such a ridiculous place to work
that making the draft is very fun.Chapter 57
D: I have a question. How quickly can Captain Kuro run 100 meters?
O: To tell you the truth, it is extremely hard to measure his speed correctly, but I don't think it would take more than 5 seconds.
Think of it as around 4 seconds. Whoa! That's a world record.D: Are Patty and Carne's names from "spaghetti" and "calzone"? (calzone spelled in japanese is CARUtsuoNE, and carne is spelled carune)
O: Hmmm! It is true that their names are derived from food-related words, but that's not right. Patty is taken from the name of a type
of dessert specialist (patissiere). And Carne is taken directly from the Spanish word for meat.D: If Luffy is 7200 Funky Gomu Gomus, does that mean Sanji is about 8500 Funky Ero Eros?
O: Oh, no, not at all. He has 930 Merchen Ero Eros.D: Could you make the One Piece tankobon a little cheaper? (like 100 yen...)
O: Right now... 1 book is 410 yen. And Jump costs 220 yen... When I was in elementary school, a tankobon was 360 yen and a Jump cost
170 yen. But the price of everything rises. There's nothing I can do about it. It's the same for everyone... and 100 yen is
just ridiculous.D: Sensei! When you are drawing the characters of "One Piece", for example, when Luffy is mad, do you get a mad expression on your face,
or look strained?? Tell me!! I do.
O: Oh, I do. I make lots of faces when I draw. When I drew the double page spread of the break-up of the Usopp Pirate Crew, my face
was really tired. I cried so much when I drew that, that my face got all droopy.Chapter 58
D: Are those three-roped things of hair coming out of Zeff's nose a mustache? Or it is nose hair? Or fake hair?
O: It's braided hair. The technical name is "somehow okay hair".(Note: Oda's answer to that question is a pun. He says "yosage" (which could mean "okay hair") instead of "osage", or "braided hair".)
D: Oda-sensei! I'm Akinori! I thought of a great move!
1. Luffy stretches out his arm
2. Zoro cuts his arm off
3. The arm shoots off
However, it can't be done more than twice.
O: Heyheyheyheyheyhey...D: To Odacchi! I am your betrothed. When are we going to be married? SHould it be November 1st? We're going to kiss in the marriage
ceremony, right?! I'm sooooo nervous kiss! Actually I'm Namie Amuro's little sister.
O: Okay... To the hospital.D: I wanna say something to the guy who said Zoro's stomach band was for "old fogies" in the SBS on page 130 of Volume 4!! To you, man,
you!! First, I too wondered, why does cool guy Zoro have a stomach band? But then, once I realized that it's a part of Zoro, I
forgave him! Yes, me, I forgave him! So you should too! Okay, friends!
O: ...oh! A friendship between readers has bloomed... Wonderful.D: Only the upper half of Buggy's body can fly around (I mean, float). So then he should be able to go on the Grand Line with only his
top half. So why doesn't he go?
O: He cannot. Bara Bara Humans have a certain distance limit to their ability. There is a 200 Bara Bara diameter circle around the
point where the person touches the ground. Outside of that distance, he cannot control those parts of his body.Chapter 59
D: Did you know that Coby's father is the world champion of jump-rope?
O: No... I did not know that. Coby's dad sure is amazing...D: Is it true that Clahadour's pet is a mammoth?
O: No... I did not know that either. I wonder if it was living in that mansion...D: What criteria do you use to pick your "Usopp Gallery Pirates"?
O: Of course, the skill, how fun it is, the sense... But of course, the most valuable ones are the postcards that have SPIRIT.D: When I was working at a fruit stand a little while ago, there was some little brat who said, "How dumb, this place doesn't have any
Gomu Gomu fruits". If another kid like that comes into the shop, what should I say? Please tell me. (seriously)
O: In those situations, this is what all these characters would do.
Makino-san: "Yes, I'm sorry, we don't have any." Shrug it off like an adult.
Shanks: "Dahahahaha!! You're 10 years too young for a Devil Fruit!!" Tease them.
Luffy: "I'll blow you away right now." Show no mercy.
Say whichever character you feel like. I'm not taking responsibility, though.D: Take a Character Fan Poll!!
O: Uhhh, I won't do it in the books, but I already did one in Jump, and the results will appear on page 148. (This poll was run for about
two or three weeks after Chapter 49, "The Storm".)Chapter 64
D: Salutations. I am an earthlien who lives in the same house that Usopp's father's friend's brother's girlfriend lived in a long time
ago. *An earthlien is half-earthling, half-alien.
O: Wowwwww. Let the SBS begin!! (donnn)D: The hourglasses on both sides of Don Krieg's skull and bones are supposed to indicate a threat to the enemy, but were hourglasses
really used for that meaning? At that period in time...
O: There really were pirate flags with hourglasses on them. It basically indicated the time left until the death of their prey, so it
holds a meaning like, "It's only a matter of time until your surrender".D: Oda-sensei. Since Luffy is a Gomu Human, does that mean his "p*nis" can stretch, too?
O: His penis can stretch too.D: I have a question. How many g/cm3 is Sanji's kick power? I would like you to give me an answer to two decimals, please.
O: To tell you the truth, it's impossible to measure. There are games at the arcade that measure your kick power, right? Well, if Sanji
used one of those, he would destroy not only the game, but the wall of the entire building. But if you tried to put it into a
form of measurement, I would say 21 bats. The power to destroy 21 wooden baseball bats in one kick.Chapter 65
D: Yo!! Ei-chan!! Are you still working on "One Piece"? Keep drawing, man!! Okay, Ei-chan, here's my question. Who are the "One
Piece" characters with the highest and lowest IQ's?! Okay, that's enough for today.
O: I'll tell you. But when I say "in One Piece". I really mean, "of all the characters introduced in One Piece". And having cleared that
up, the character with the highest IQ is Shanks' first mate, Ben Beckman. He is a great crewmate, who possesses astonishing
wisdom and strength, and advises Shanks. And right after him would probably be Captain Kuro, then Nami, etc. Now as for the
lowest IQ... I can't decide the worst one. They're all idiots.D: Oda-sensei, is your house really made of cardboard? (I heard from my friend.)
O: Yes. Whether it's rainy or sunny or snowy, I always draw my manga. But it's okay. The certificate ink I use is waterproof!!
(Caution: Good children should not believe me!)D: What is that cape-like thing that Buchi of the Nyaban Brothers has? Is it a futon?
O: Actually, it's a "kotatsu-buton". Because he's a cat. (kotatsu-buton would be the cover for a kotatsu.)D: Does Luffy's pose on the cover of Volume 3 come from Ken Shimura-san's "Aiiin"?
O: Yessssss, it does!! It's Aiiin!! Aiiin. It is Aiiin.(Big thanks to Greg Werner for offering this explanation: "Aiiin" is a gag of Shimura Ken. Ken is famous for many gags and two of his
recent famous characters are Baka Tono and Henna Ojisan. Baka Tono's signature pose is "Aiiiiiiin!" Recently (er...last April)
the sub-unit of Morning Musume, Mini Moni even did an entire song on it called "Ai~n! Dance Song")Chapter 66
D: Does Sanji-san like shit?
O: He loves shit.D: I don't understand the Marines system very well. Is the captain [Taisa] the highest rank? Is Coby at the headquarters? Or a base??
Where does Captain [Taii] Fullbody stand?O: (Note that with these officers, some may translate to the same word, which is why I put the Japanese in too.)
(Government) World Leaders (Higher than Marines)
|
Admiral [Gensui] (top of the Marines) Marine Officers
M Admiral [Taishou] -
A Vice-admiral [Chuujou] - Rear Admiral [Shoushou] - Commodore [Junshou] |
R Captain [Taisa] - Commander [Chuusa] - Major [Shousa] |
I Captain [Taii] - First Lieutenant [Chuui] - Second Lieutenant [Shoui] -
N Warrant-officer [Juni]
E Sergeant Major [Souchou] - Sergeant [Gunsou] - Corporal [Gochou]
S Private First Class [Ittouhei] - Private [Nitouhei] - Private (Recruit) [Sanchouhei]
Odd Jobs [Zatsuyou]This is it. This is the entire explanation of the Marines system in the world of "One Piece". The base Coby is in is the 153th branch.
Officers of the rank of Captain [Taisa] and above command the bases spread out all over the world. I wonder when the day will come when
Coby becomes an officer.D: In Volume 5, pg. 159 (3rd panel), did that fat guy in the lower left corner manage to steal her food?
O: Well spotted!! Amazing!! That would be Mr. Motzel, the gourmet, yes? He ate her food. Then they fought afterwards. The girl
beside him is Mr. Motzel's daughter.Chapter 67
SBS Corner
D: Sensei, I reeeeeeeeally want you to make something. What is it, you say… A "One Piece Timetable", of course!!
O: A "timetable," eh... wow, what a sentimental sound...! Well, how's this?! Copy it, enlarge it, shrink it, do whatever you want!!
I wonder if there are schools with 7 periods. Well, I drew it that way.Chapter 69
D: To become a GIRL as cool and courageous as Zoro, how should I start?
O: A girl, eh? Hmmm. First you squat!! Then, in order to become courageous, eat some sardines!!D: Konnichiwa, Oda-sensei. No, I mean, nihao!! I wrung my un-wisdom and created a song for Luffy. Please read, dance, and cry!
1st verse Gomu x3 Go---mu Yayyyyyy
I am a Gomu Human, in other words, a rubberman?
Gomu x3 Go---mu Yahoooo
Lalalala-lala-lalalala-oooh
2nd verse Gomu x3 Go---mu Stre--tch
I am a pirate king, in other words, amazing!!
(Gomu x3 Go---mu) x2 Amun
How is it? I am the champion, so can I take on the world? Shall I go? Okay... here I go!!
O: Yayyyyyy!! Go wherever you want!!D: Is Luffy made of natural rubber? Or artificial rubber? -A Meteorological Agency Investigation- (Ministry of Education rip off)
O: He's natural (-ly stupid) rubber.D: When we were talking about One Piece, I said I like Shanks, my friend S. likes Zoro, and I. likes Luffy, but R. likes Buggy and Jango.
Should he go see a doctor?
O: Choosing those two is certainly a serious illness... but you should just tell him to rest at home and take it easy. And then tell him
to get... stronger... and that life is worth living, and... stuff...Chapter 70
D: In "Monkey D. Luffy", what does the D stand for?! Is it "donburi" (a bowl) or maybe "daibutsu" (giant Buddha statue)? Or maybe...!!
I'm really interested. Please tell me.
O: I've gotten a ridiculous number of these letters... I've gotten a lot, but I cannot answer that question. I can't answer it "yet"...
Please just read it as "D" and don't think anything about it, for now.D: What the is connection between pirates and rum? Did you read in a book somewhere that rum and pirates were connected?
O: Not just pirates and rum, but sailors and rum. In short, rum is cheap. Because of that, back in the sailing days of England, the
liquor they paid the navy with changed from brandy to rum, and the hard-drinking men of the sea warmed up to the rum image.
As for why they would take so much liquor on a voyage, it was because the water would go bad.D: Last night, I met a guy from the planet Gomu Gomu. When I asked him, "How far can you stretch your arm?" he said "705 Poison Gomu
Gomus." How much is 705 Poison Gomu Gomus?
O: You met someone from the Gomu Gomu planet?! WOW!! That's great!! A "Poison Gomu Gomu" is 10 times as much as a "Gomu Gomu." So in
other words, "7050 Gomu Gomus"!! That's an astronomical length!! But be careful. Gomu Gomians are notorious for giving the
most ridiculous answers in the universe.Chapter 72
D: Sensei, I can't stop my yosage (Zeff's braids). How do I stop it?
O: There's no need to!! The SBS begins!!D: To Oda-sensei. I allllllways have fun reading One Piece! By the way, in volume 7, page 18, third panel, the knife Sanji's holding
appears to have some writing on it, but it's so small, I can't tell what it is. What's written on it? Please tell me!!
O: I'm not surprised you can't tell what it is. After all, I drew it so you couldn't tell what it is. But you did well, finding it.
I'll fess up. What I drew was "Hokuto no Ken." (Fist of the North Star) It was a really famous series in Jump from when I was in
elementary school. Do you know it?D: I wanna participate in my own SBS Corner!! But then I gave up, so please read this. Do you like poop, Oda-sensei? It comes out as
letters a lot, and it's drawn on Clahadour's clothes, so... I love it.
O: P**p?! I'd be too embarrassed to say such a naughty, filthy word!! Please, stop it!!D: When I read about Usopp's past, told in Merry's refined speech, I accidentally started "man-crying," even though I'm a girl.
The tears ran down my cheeks and into my mouth. What do you think it tasted like???
O: Like poop. (Rolling Style)D: I heard this somewhere. Is Sanji's afternoon snack Kasutera (Castilla, or sponge cake)? (Because his snack is ?????)
O: I see...Chapter 73
D: Oda-sensei, this is the spirit of the heart (what Zoro uses to "speak" with the sword in his mouth), isn't it. (Penname Arunya)
O: Yes. This is a good spirit of the heart.D: Nobunaga - If the cuckoo will not sing, kill it.
Hideyoshi - If the cuckoo will not sing, make it want to sing.
Ieyasu - If the cuckoo will not sing, wait.
A haiku that expresses the personalities of those who reached towards heaven. What about you, sir?
O: Eiichirou - If the cuckoo will not sing, buy a cola.
Meaning: I want a cola right now. (and not that diet stuff)D: I went to the barber and told him "A Spirit-of-the-Man's-Heart cut!!" Then he said, "Okay!!" and he shaved my head bald. Entirely the
wrong look. Sensei, are there any requirements to become a Zoro?! Tell me!! sobbing
O: Don't cry!! Stand up!! There are battles that a man cannot run from!! So what if you got turned into a priest once?! When your hair
grows out again, go back to that barber and challenge him!! A return match!! Well, if I were you, I would give upChapter 74
D: I LOVE SANJI LIKE THAT.
O: Like what?D: Oda-sensei!! It's awful!! My friend has contracted "If-you-don't-eat-a-snack-you-will-die-itis". How can this affliction be cured?!
He'll die soon!!
O: Don't get flustered!! Get a hold of yourself!! It's okay!! Chill out!! Calm down!! Okay, next question.D: How many Debu Debu's is Albida's fatness (debu-sa)? whirling CRACK! Uwaaaaaah.
O: Ahh, do whatever you want already.D: What are the pistols in One Piece called? They don't look like matchlocks.
O: They are "flintlock-style pistols". Because of its spark-making stone called a flint, think of it as a step above a matchlock.
(clockwise from top: flint, "atari-gane" (gold part the flint hits), fire grate, trigger, cock)
When you pull the trigger, the cock is released and the flint strikes the "atari-gane", sparking and lighting the fire grate!!
The spark ignites the gunpowder and the bullet is shot out.
Because this pistol can basically only be fired once, some pirates were known to carry as many as 5 or 6 at a time. But in the
world of One Piece, they have been improved so that they can shoot any number of times. Scary.Chapter 75
D: Oi!! Oda-kun!! Sit down right there!! Okay!! I don't want to hear any junk about you wanting to look at the side of your face!!
What're you gonna do if you break your neck?! Value your life, sonny!! You shouldn't have to be scolded by some younger like
myself!! This on this!! You may go!!
O: Oh... I'm very sorry.D: When I tried to look at the side of my face in a mirror like you said on the inside cover of volume 7, I twisted my neck and went to
the doctor. The doctor asked me, "why did this happen to you?", but how should I respond to him?
O: Ah... we're friends.D: Hello. I have wine in my house, so I wondered, "what country is it from?", and when I looked on the back, I saw the words
"dry, full body". I was a little surprised. But I was so happy. Is this the origin of Fullbody-san's (the Ironfist one) name?
It is, isn't it. If you tell me it's not, I think I'll feel like it's all over. (?)
O: It's not over! You are right! I really don't drink much wine, so I don't know a whole lot about it, but from the times I did drink
it I learned that the strength and heaviness of the taste is what you call it's "body"! Wine with a long fermentation time is
has a "full body", the next lighter is "medium body", and then "light body"! Now, my explanation of Captain Fullbody's name is
finished! Thank you very much!!D: Where did Dandy Gin-san hide those weapons of his? Huh? There?! Wow, I bet he can't doze off on the train, then.
O: What?! Are you suggesting that he hid those weapons as his balls?! As Dandy Gin balls?! You're going to make all the Gin fans very
angry. Gin's a pretty popular one, he is.Chapter 76
D: Heyyyyyy!! Guy who said he likes Namiiiiiiii!! Fight with me!! I love Nami 100x more than youuuuuuu. But I love you toooooooo.
I'm a homooooooooo (angry). We're frieeeeeends. You and I are frieeeeeeeends.
O: ...that's right. The guy who was with Nami from Volume 7. Get along, now!D: In an SBS in Volume 7, you said Sanji-san's age was 19, but when I talked to my friend, s/he basically said, "that's a lie."
How old is he, really?
O: Uh, well even if you were told it was a lie, all I can say is that it's true............. it's true.D: Why did "Red-Leg Zeff" eat his right leg? That's where his kick power lies, so couldn't he eat the left one instead?
O: Bzzzzt. Wrong. The base of the kick strength is actually the "pivoting leg". For instance, if you were to try to kick a ball with
your right leg, what would happen if you didn't have a left leg? You wouldn't be able to kick, right? Why don't you go ask
your soccer-playing friends? The life of the kick is contained in the pivoting leg!!D: Oda-sensei! Drop your pen! Stop drawing manga! I have a question. My older brother and I cooperated to buy with the SBS, but we
accidentally bought 2 copies of Volume 5. What should we do? If you answer me, you may use your pen!
O: Well, then... how about, "go buy 5 more copies of Volume 5"? Then the fact that you bought 2 before won't really matter anymore,
and then you can laugh about it! Can I pick up the pen now?D: If Luffy wants a musician so bad, why doesn't he come to my house? Is it because it's not by the ocean? Is it because I'm really an
alien? Is it because my feet have been smelly lately?
O: It's because your feet smell. The SBS is over!! Until next volume!!Chapter 82
D: I am "Timmy Ueda", of the SBS-Hijacking Group! I will start the SBS Corner before Oda-sensei does!! "Ehhh, start the SBS!!"
O: Gah! Damn. He started before me! Damn you, Timmy, damn you. Now I can't start the SBS! Oh wait, it already started.D: Hello, Oda-sensei. You know, in volume 8, pg.92, the sixth panel, you wrote "Search for Pandaman", but I can't find him. Where is he?
Please show me.
O: Aha. I got a whole bunch of postcards from people about this one. I got a bunch from people who found him, and a bunch from people
who didn't find him. Even though I thought it was so small that no one would notice. Well, I'll show you the answer. In the
bottom circle is written the phrase, "Search for Pandaman!!!" And Pandaman is in the upper-right circle.Chapter 83
D: When the Arlong guys and the other fishmen give birth, do they lay eggs like fish?
O: Bzzzt. Fishmen are still mammals, so they give birth the way humans do. There are fishwomen too, of course.D: I wanna know the height of all 5. Nami's really cute.
O: The main 5, eh? Well why don't I answer that. First of all, Gaimon's height is... kidding. I'll start from the shortest. Nami's
height is 169cm, Luffy is 172cm, Usopp is 174cm, Sanji is 177cm, and Zoro is 178cm. So they're all pretty much the same height.D: Of all the fishmen, Hatchan is the cutest and funniest. But there's one thing that bothers me. Why is Hatchan's full name Hatchan,
and his nickname is Hachi?
O: A lot of Chinese people have names that go **** Chan. So it should be just fine.D: What is the thing that Usopp and a lot of the pirates in One Piece have tied around their waists? A towel? Or did they want one of
Zoro's stomach bands, but they couldn't get one, so they used that instead?
O: Like this. They all have them, don't they? There's no real deep reason for these things. I guess pirates just liked to wear these
"decorative sashes". But sometimes they put their pistols in them, so maybe they aren't totally meaningless.Chapter 84
D: Here we go! Waaaaaoooooooouuuuuuuuuun(1)! Tuuuuuuuuuuyyyyyyyyyyyuuuuuuuuu(2)!! Thhhhhuuuuuuuuuurrrrreeeeeeee(3)?!!!
O: DAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!D: One more time! Oooonnnnnnnneeeee(1)! Twwwwwwoooooooooo(2)! Threeeeeeeeeee(3)!
O: DAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! Ah... they're playing with me.D: Yo! 'sup. One Piece is always a hurricane of emotion. This is the first time I ever wrote to a manga artist. Oda-sensei is my
favorite character.
O: I ain't a character.D: A little while ago, my friend asked me to draw Shanks, so I did. Then he hit me on the head all of a sudden, and said, "Why'd you
draw Jango?!" Is this a disease?
O: Yes. It is a disease. "Redrawing Jango Sickness", I believe. You're always going to draw Jango. Be careful, as the final symptom
is when you draw Jango as a sign for a home delivery company.D: On page 121 in Volume 8, that thing that rises above Zeff's head is a hat, right? My mother says, "It's too tall to be a hat. There
must be a pole behind him or something." Sensei, please make this blockhead (44) agree with me.
O: Okay, mom, listen to me now. In this world, there are certain unbending truths that you cannot avert your eyes from. The thing that
is standing on Zeff's head is the "Tower of Faith", supported by the spirit of the heart. It's called the "Cook's Slice of
Heaven Hat". That's right!!!Chapter 87
D: Sensei! I thought of a new move for Luffy-chan. It... it goes, Luffy stretches his mouth out and eats the enemy, then he goes to the
bathroom and poops it out! How is it? It's good, right? Good idea.
O: No, it's not.D: I have a question for Oda-sensei. What do you call Belmeil-san's haircut?
O: That hairstyle is called "Women have Guts". You should yell it out in a beauty parlor.O: I'm glad Sanji is "girl-crazy", not "boy-crazy".
D: Uh, totally.D: When Sanji thinks about a girl, the smoke from his cigarette turns into a heart shape. How does he do it? I want to try too!!
Please(x100) tell me!
O: Uh, first of all, you have to be over 20. Then light your cigarette and take a big drag. When you do that, the smoke will come in
contact with the "feeling of love" you put on your lungs beforehand, and then when you blow the smoke out, it will most definitely
come out in the shape of a heart.D: I can't really tell if Yosaku and Johnny are strong or not. It's definitely by a paper-thin margin. To mess around, between those
two and Helmepp, who can stretch?
O: I think I would like Kaya to become a wonderful doctor.Chapter 89
D: When I read your manga, sensei, I think my way of doing things is good. So I've gotten the urge to pursue my dream to build a gigantic
bridge to America.
O: That's nice. A boy with a dream. I like that. So there you go. If there are any guys who want to get in your way, I'll... put on
a pair of leather boots... and kick their little toes or something. So don't worry. Try hard.(Note: The next question is impossible for me to translate. I just can't make any sense out of it. Next question!)
(Note: Crap, this is a hard one too. I think "heboimo" means hick. I think. But I don't know. And "taihen" means extremely or terrible
or great. Please keep that in mind.)D: What does it mean when the cook Pati says, "Excuse me, your hickness"? (heboimo osoreirimasu)
O: "Please excuse me, sir" (taihen osoreirimasu). You hear that occasionally, yes? You just take "taihen" and replace it with
"heboimo". For example, you would use it like this. "Oh my, you were hospitalized for a year? That must have been (hick?)."
"This man has accomplished many (hick?) deeds. A round of applause.", etc... Just keep using it like that, and that's what
heboimo means.D: I have a question. Does Usopp have bones in his nose? Because I've seen it bent many times now...
O: I've never seen that. How could his nose possibly bend? What a ridiculous thing to...
WHOA!! IT DOES BEND!!!
THE SBS IS OVER!!Chapter 100
D: Timmy Ueda-sama of the SBS-Hijacking Group, I beg you! Please accept me, "Martha Shimoda", as your follower. I'll do anything.
So, to begin with... "Start the SBS!!" Yaaay. How was that, Timmy-sama? I started it.
O: GYAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!! IT HAPPENED AGAIN!! DAMMIT!! TIMMY?! TIMMY'S APPRENTICE?! SSSSHHHHIT!!D: Hello, Mr. Oda-sensei. Even as we speak, I am doing my best to be a swordsman. Do you think that if I keep working as a swordsman,
that someday I might be as strong as Sanji-san?
O: CRAP!! GODDAMN TIMMY!! ARE YOU ONE OF TIMMY'S DISCIPLES TOO?! REALLY?! YOU'RE NOT?! OH...!! Sorry, sorry. Sorry for flying off
the hook like that. Uhhh... Become like Sanji by being a swordsman... Yeah right!! What does that have to do with anything?!
Crap!! My pace is getting out of whack this time around... Be cool, be cool.D: Greetings. Me like Luffy number 1. Number 2 is Sanji. The reason is Sanji's expressions.
Shitty old geezer -> poop old man
Shit-eating motherfuckers -> poop men
Shit-tasty (Shit-tacular?) -> poop delicious
Quite filthy, isn't he. Is it okay if I lower Sanji's rank?
O: What can you do, man?
Yeah. What can you do?Chapter 101
D: A question for sensei. Why is it that even though they're minors, Zoro and Sanji and Nami drink alcohol? Is that really okay?
O: No.D: I usually don't send this type of thing, but this is all I send. I challenge you, Oda-sensei.
Akatakoashikiken Kitakoashikiken Chatakoashikiken
(Red Octopus Leg Danger, Yellow Octopus Leg Danger, Brown Octopus Leg Danger)
Try to say this 3 times fast. (And put it in the SBS)
O: Ahhh... A tongue-twister, eh...? These are so easy... Ready, go!!
ACHAKABATASABADARAPPA...!!!
Okay, next.D: Oda-chaaaan. I wanted to ask you this before, but anyways, at the end of the book, it says making unauthorized copies is copyright
violation. But is it okay to make copies of the timetable? Please tell me. From the third of Coby's happy friends.
O: I realize it's complicated, but you can get permission from a couple of different places, for that picture. And also, I heard a lot
of people saying, "My school goes on for 8 hours", but I'm sure you can work hard and make it on your own. Sorry. It's
important for everyone to study.Chapter 103
D: This is a question. When do the fanletters reach you, Oda-sensei? A week? For instance, if I mailed one on November 1st, when does
it fall into your hands? Please let me know.
O: First of all, the letters everyone sends me are delivered to the "Weekly Shounen Jump Editorial Department". There, people working
part-time separate the letters according to author, and the managers send them to me every week. So if you're lucky, from the day
your letter reaches the Editorial Department, it might come to me within 1 or 2 weeks.D: You said in Volume 7 that when you're drawing characters' facial expressions, you make the same face. So do you do the same thing when
you draw one of Nami's sexy faces? Do you make an "ehe" face?
O: Of course. I may not match up to a magazine model, but I'm famous with the nearby public for it.(Note: The next letter is full of bizarre spellings and stuff, so it's really asked much weirder than it sounds.)
D: Yo! This is the first time we've talked, Ei-chan. (Ehehe!) I'm so SHY! So anyway, I have a question. "Buggy the Clown" can split
himself in pieces, right? So of course, he can also do that DOWN THERE, if you know what I mean... I can't say any more. I won't
let you say any more. Don't draw anything until you answer this question!!
O: His penis can fly too.Chapter 104
D: I am the president of the "International Somehow Okay Hair League". (Note: refer to SBS, chapter 58.) The restaurant's Zeff-san is
perfect in color, length, gloss, everything!! So we have decided that Zeff-san shall be the "41st Somehow Okay Hair Champion"!
Congratulations. Oda-sensei, any comments?!
O: Er... I can't help but be curious about the previous 40 champions.D: I've been thinking about this for a while. "How"! "How"! Can Arlong wear a ring on his fingers when his hands are webbed?
O: That's because they go straight through his fingers. Straight through. They're more like piercings than rings.D: Brrrrring... Brrrrrring... click...
"Ah... hello... Is this Minonta-san? Listen... What's that? You're not Minonta-san? Huh? Oda-san... Ah... sorry,
wrong number..." click... beep... beep... beep... beep...
O: Uh...D: (Episode I) Odacchi, will you save meee?! This Yamada guy who lives next door looks like a fishman. And to prove it, he's got GILLS
near his face... Ah, oooh, it's really cold all of a sudden... I wonder if I turned the air conditioner a little too high.
No, it's bloodlust!! Fvwow. (lightsaber-igniting sound) to be continued...
O: I won't save you.Chapter 105
D: How far can Buggy separate himself? I'm so interested I've been growing okay hair (yosage) for 3 consecutive days.
O: Buggy, eh? Well... Let's just say there's a cutoff point. If he's any further away from his parts, he loses control. But more
importantly, since you're growing okay hair, why don't I nominate you for the "Okay Hair Contest" they were just talking about?
Eh?D: Okay, here we go!! Start the SBS Corner!!
O: Uhahahahaha!! Yaaaayyyyy!! I put this one up where it doesn't mean a damn thing!! Take THAT!! There have been a whole lot of
letters like this lately. A whole lot.D: On page 79 of Volume 9, it says "koi (love)" and "sake (ale)", but it definitely wouldn't mean "koi (carp)" or "sake (salmon)", would
it? Of course you wouldn't do that, sensei... By the way, what kind of fishmen are they?
O: That topic's so old, I forgot all about it. Uhhhhh, well... next please...D: Hello!! This is a postcard to Oda-sensei. That's right... Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am "Timmy Maiko"! Does the word
"Timmy" remind you of anything...? Yes... oh yes. "Timmy Ueda"! I am Ueda's younger sister. I owe my big brother for Volume
10. So I sent this postcard in to thank him... Hee(x2)! As his younger sister, I will end this before Oda-sensei can. Because
I am a member of the SBS-Hijacking Group, after all.
"THE SBS IS OVER!"
O: GYAAAAAAAAAHHH! NOT AGAIN!! DAMN YOU TIMMY, DAMN YOUUUUUUU!!Chapter 109
O: Before I start the SBS, I'd like to introduce one of the letters that has come in to save me from a certain group that has been ruining
this corner. I'm so happy.
D: Hello. I have great news for Odacchi today. I'm standing up to protect Odacchi from the "SBS Hijacking Group" that has been
obstructing his SBS Corner!!! I call myself Team Captain Richard of the "Advancement the Destruction of the SBS Hijacking Group
Team". Now to celebrate our first day of action, ready, set, go!!
START THE SBS!
O: You just started it!!D: I've been thinking about a great topic for about 5 years now. And that topic is, "Why is it that in battle manga, the bottom half of
people's clothes never get destroyed??!!"
O: If they fought naked, wouldn't it kind of change the emphasis of the manga?D: About Tashigi-san, who appears in Volume 11 - On page 119, she acts completely nearsighted, but when she's looking at the katana on page
132, she put her glasses up on purpose, and on page 161, when she runs up late, she isn't wearing them at all. Are they just for
style?
O: It's not really for style, it's because she's slightly shortsighted. She can see things close up, but when they get farther away, they
start to get blurry. I think. Probably.Chapter 111
D: In my opinion, Oda-kun should be the voice actor for "Pandaman". Anyone who disagrees, please raise your hand.
By the School Grade Committee Chairman.
O: Oooh, good idea. Me, the voice actor for Pandaman. Nice. Okay, I'll go talk to the people at Toei Animation about doind that...
Wait, Pandaman doesn't say anything.D: Question. You said the SBS Corner stands for "(S)hitsumon (question) o (B)oshuu (taking) (S)uru Corner..." Huh? I forgot my
question. Ahahahahahahahaha, laugh, laugh! Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Shahahahahahahaha...
O: What?!! Arlong?!!(Note: I think I get this joke. The person left out the kanji for "shitsu" in shitsumon. The kanji itself means quality or
characteristic, i.e. the nature of the question to be asked. The "bo" in boshuu was also left out. If "bo" were stretched to
"bou", it could mean forget... in other words, to forget the nature of your question... I know that doesn't make a whole lot of
sense... oh well, it was worth a try.)D: To Oda-sensei - Why did you make the "SBS Corner"? (cat)
O: A cat... that's a cat...? So why did I create it? When I read comics years ago, a lot of authors used to put these kinds of things
in their books. Because I enjoyed them so much, I decided that if was a manga artist, I would put them in my books. That's why
I made it. You know... if that's supposed to be a cat...D: IS HATCHAN A TAKOYAKI CHAMPION?
O: That can't possibly be a cat...
An octopus, eh... is it an octopus?Chapter 112
D: When you say the "21 Oo-Wazamono", what do you mean by "Wazamono" and "21"? And then for the "Yukibashiri", you said "unravelled edge
with a small T". What the heck does that mean?! Huh???? I have no idea.
O: Ahh, well. Even if you don't understand it, it's good enough if the sound of it leaves a great impression in your mind. I'll give a
little explanation about katanas here.
<- This is "Wadou-Ichimonji", which Zoro carries as a memento of Kuina. For this katana, the "level" is "Oo-Wazamono", the "make"
is "White-Painted Scabbard Long Sword" (This is a type of outward appearance for swords. It means the blade is painted
white.), and the "blade" is a "straight edge".
@ For swords, the levels go Saijou-Oo-Wazamono, Oo-Wazamono, Ryou-Wazamono, Wazamono, and then normal swords. Wazamonos are
excellent blades. When they say "12 Saijou-Ou-Wazamono", it means there (appears to be) only 12 blades in the world that
are stronger. That's what that means.
@ When discussing blades, there are two types of edges, "straight edge" and "unravelled edge". These are types of patterns you
can make on the blades when you create them. But since there are many patterns for an "unravelled edge", they turn into
an "unravelled edge with a ______".Chapter 113
D: Are those glasses that Usopp wears when he fights?
O: Those are goggles. "Sniper goggles". At first he only wore them for looks, but in Loguetown he got the brand new model from
"North Blue". The scene on the right was supposed to be the first page of chapter 98, in volume 11. The number of pages went
over the limit, so we scrapped it. It's got sunglasses on it to eliminate glare when he's aiming, and it can flip up and turn
around and stuff like that, so Usopp really liked it.(Page on the right)
Usopp: Hmmmm? Hmmmm. Ooooooh. Damn!! I like these goggles!!
Lady: You got an eye for the good stuff. That's the newest model from "North Blue". It came with the Marines when their annual import
ship came by.Usopp: I also want this watch, and this magnet! Oh, don't you have any raw eggs?!
Lady: Go to the supermarket for that!!
D: Hello, Oda-sensei. This is confusing to me, so please answer clearly. Is the stuff that you draw on Sanji-san's chin a BEARD? Or is
it just a SHADOW? If it's a beard, please make him shave it off.
O: IT IS A BEARD! I WILL NOT MAKE HIM SHAVE IT OFF!! THE SBS IS OVER!! OVER...over...over...Chapter 118
D: Well, I'd like to start the SBS, but I mustn't do it on my own, so I'll go ask Oda-sensei to start it... sensei? Sensei!! Please,
start it!! AH!! He's sleeping?! Oh well. Guess I'll have to do it. And now, "START THE SBS!!"
O: Zzzzzzzzzz... ah!! Crap, I slept in. Oh, time for the SBS. Aww damn, it started without me again!!D: Heya, sensei, I got's question for ya. I can't sleep at night cuz I think about it so much. Listen to me, man.
WHAT DOES THE PURA IN TEMPURA STAND FOR?
O: SHUT UP!! WHO CARES WHAT THE HELL PURA MEANS?! (<-just woke up)D: Good day, Oda-sensei. I am Kazuya, butler for Yano-sama. I only figured this out because my friend K-Bayashi S-Hei (Kobayashi Shohei?)
told me. In Volume 10, on Nami's clothes on page 87 and Belmeil's hat on page 107, it says "DOSKOI PANDA". Where does this
animal come from?
O: That's a brand name. It's very popular in East Blue right now. And pretty expensive. Very high class. One shirt might cost you over
10,000 Berii. Beware of the imposter brand "DOSKO1 PANDA". DOSKOI PANDA's headquarters are located on Mirror Ball Island in East
Blue.Chapter 119
D: Your attention, please. I would like to ask Oda-kun something. About the photo on the inside of Volume 13. Isn't that the exact same
picture from the inside of Volume 8 of "Shaman King"? Huh? Huh?! HUH?!!
from a guy who wants to be called Mocchi.
O: Yes. I've decided not to show my face in my comics (because if I do, it will cause all sorts of problems with my everyday life). That
picture is Mr. Takei's, who draws the comic "Shaman King", which also runs in Weekly Shonen Jump. We made up a scheme where
he said, "Whenever our comics come out in the same month, we'll use the same photo". So, the one sitting cross-legged is me, and
the one smoking is Mr. Takei.D: The dress Miss Valentine wears is so cute. Is the design on that onepiece an orange? I'm interested to know.
O: That's a lemon. Kyahahahaha. A lemon slice. Kyahahaha.Miss Valentine: It's a lemon. Kyahahaha.
D: In Volume 13, Mr. 5's "Nose Fancy Cannon" is spelled "Hanakuusouhou". Doesn't that really mean (vulgar, I know) "Booger (Hanakuso)
Cannon (Hou)"?
O: It's a booger. Kyahahaha. I laughed my ass off when I made it up.Chapter 121
D: Hello, Odacchi-sama!! I am called "Sayaka"! Please answer this!! On page 79 of Volume 11, 4th panel, there's an old drunk guy!
Why is he there?! Answer please, Ei-chan!O: In this scene... this guy.
Well spotted. I'm so happy. I'll tell you. His name is Sam. He's drunk. On his way home from his eldest daughter's wedding,
swaying back and forth across the road, he accidentally came to Arlong Park. All around him he saw people joyfully celebrating.
So he got excited too and starting running with them. That's Sam.D: What are those "Raw Ham Melons" that appeared in Volume 11?
O: It's an Italian hors d'oeuvres with well salted, thinly sliced raw ham and sweet melon, making a miraculous harmony. They can come in
many appearances, but as long its raw ham on top of melon, its "Raw Ham Melon".D: Where do you learn fishman karate? Please tell me.
O: At "Fishman Island". It's about halfway down the Grand Line. It'll probably come around sometime, so just take it easyChapter 123
D: PLEASE CONTINUE THE SBS.
O: Okay... gotcha. Leave it all to me.D: Oda-sense!! What the heck is this all about?! On page 97 of Volume 13, on the faces of the dummies the ho-ho guy is carrying, it says
"Heno-heno-uchi"!! What is the meaning of this?! (The cry of a reader's soul)
O: That's nonsense. Heno-heno-uchi?! Hahaha... I wouldn't write something like that. This scene, right?
AH!! You're right!! Damn you, Igaram!! I can't forgive you for committing such a tyrannical act in this refined manga,
One Piece!! And what's with that makeup?! Hey!! Hey. Whoa. Got mad there for a second. I forgive you.(Note: The reader is referring to Heno-heno-unchi, which is all of the characters written on the dummies. Unchi is poop, which is why the
reader "censored" it. The Japanese do a lot of these faces with letters on them. I don't really get it.)D: Why does Igarappoi go "ahem, maaa-maaa-maaa"? I'm so interested I can't sleep.
O: "Maaa-maaa-maaa". It's the very first thing you practice when you take singing lessons. Maaa (->) Maaa (/) Maaa (^) Maaa () Maa (->)
So he does that singing thing when he speaks. His throat is stugr...!! Ahem!! Ahem!! Maaa-maaa-maaa-maaa-maaa!Chapter 124
D: Sensei!! Heyeyo!! I LOVE USOPP. Hey Eiichirou!!! Look over here!!!
USOOOOOOPP RUBBER BAND!!!
O: ........D: Hello, Oda-sensei. I just noticed something odd in the Usopp Gallery Pirates. Let's say I buy the new Volume 13. So how is it that
some people have already drawn the new characters? Is it ESP? How do they know? Goodbye.
O: Bah!! Whoa, that scared me. I thought I was gonna get hit by a rubber band!! Huh? Oh, the new characters. Well, you see, those
people read "Jump". I've been reading it ever since I was a kid, too. Even now. It's a fun magazine.D: Yesterday I was watching television, and this Egyptian pharoah (Like Tutankamen) <cosplayer>character had a striped mushroom thing on
his CHIN, just like Jango. So my question is, what's the relationship between ancient Egypt and Jango?
O: The truth is, there actually is a relationship. Jango is the captain of the Kuro Neko Pirate Crew. All the crew members wear cat ears
on their heads, but he has a striped-mushroom chin. For the reason for this, look at the cats everyone in Japan raises. If you
go back far enough, they all came from Egypt. So I made him kind of Egyptian. Well, that's what I say, but it really doesn't
matter.D: Hello, you squid-bastard. Excuse me, your hickness. Hey Timmy Ueda, I know you're watching!
Let's fight!! Shiritori! (Word game in which each person says a word starting with the last letter of the previous word.)
MIKAN... AH! SHIT! THE SBS IS OVER.
(Note: No Japanese word starts with a solitary n. There has to be a vowel after it.)
O: Hey, wait a minute. What does the pura in Tempura mean? And what about the Tem? Tempura... what the heck does that mean?Chapter 127
D: Hello, everyone!! This time, Miss Valentine will start the SBS in place of Oda-sense!! Go ahead, Miss Valentine!!
Miss Valentine: KYAHAHAHAHA! START THE SBS!
O: Ah...D: Ei-chan!! I'll tell you the secret of "Tenpura". It's Portuguese. There's absolutely no meaning to it. The Japanese in olden days
simply wrote things down the way they heard the Portuguese say it. They just substituted the characters. If there's anything
else you don't understand, don't hesitate to ask!
from Knowledgeable Himeko in Yamaguchi
O: Wow. Knowledgeable Himeko knows a lot!! Okay, then I have a question for you, Knowledgeable Himeko. Why is it that in page 51 of
Volume 1, in that extremely important scene, that the three lines on Shanks' pirate flag were forg... not there?
Was it too much of a pain to... is there a deep reason why it wasn't redrawn despite all the readers pointing it out? I got it!!
It's a message to all the boys and girls saying to go out on a voyage to heal those three scars!! Right?!
No, I'm sorry. I forgot... Okay, everyone!! Get out your pens, it's retouching time! I know I make millions of errors, but
this is one that I really can't let slide.Chapter 129
D: This is a question. On Volume 12, page 31, what is that "sailing ceremony" they do?
Pen name, Vivi Fanclub No. 17
O: What they did was take their feet and crack open a barrel of beer to celebrate their entrance into the Grand Line. You could call it
a "One Piece Entrance Ceremony". I wanted to draw some more about it, but I really wanted to call the 100th chapter "The Legend
has Begun", so I was in a hurry. Pretty cool, huh?
About the "sailing ceremony".
@ After the ship is being built, there is a "building ceremony".
@ Once the ship is fully built, there is a "completion ceremony".
@ And when it finally goes to sea, there is a grand "sailing ceremony". In other words, the "sailing ceremony" is the biggest and most
exciting celebration of the birth of a ship. To celebrate, the would break a bottle of liquor on the bow of the ship, and if the
bottle didn't break, that ship was cursed with bad luck, so the person who breaks in has to be really sure they can do it. I have
that in Viking "sailing ceremonies" they spilled blood on the ship. Yikes.Chapter 130
D: Oda Eiichirou-sama... give me... SOMETHING (of your belongings).
I: No.D: Good day, Oda-sensei, nice to meet you. And now, without further ado, my question. The truth is, around my school, there's a rumor
that says you're a... dog... a POODLE!! Is that true?
O: Bowwow. Bowwowwow. Bowwowwowwowwow. (I am not a dog.)
Bow wow. (Okay, next.)D: Do they sell a man's heart and spirit anywhere? I have a secondhand woman's heart and spirit, by the way.
O: You do?!D: Oda-sensei!! I've been thinking about this a lot... what are Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp and Sanji's birthdays? Tell us!!
O: I've gotten a lot of these questions, so I'll answer it now.
Luffy -> May 5th
Zoro -> November 11th
Nami -> July 3rd
Usopp -> April 1st
Sanji -> March 2nd
Happy birthday!! Was that too lazy of me?! Everyone who thinks so, raise your hand. Whoa, that's about a million. But that's
what they are. Don't give me any crap for it. Tell their parents.D: DO THINK THERE REALLY ARE SUCH THINGS AS KAPPAS?
O: YES, THERE ARE. LOTS AND LOTS OF THEM. YES.Chapter 131
D: Would like an Elephant Nose Radish? (I caught one myself!!)
By Ultra-Canadianman
O: Mmm, looks good. Thank you. Chomp chomp gobble gobble... urg...!! Urg... uhaagh...!!! Chomp chomp gobble gobble.D: How are you, Oda-chan? Anyways... in middle school I was given a "plan your future course in life" paper, but when I asked the sensei
"Can I write 'pirate' as my number 2 wish?" he said "Be serious." SERIOUS!
by Saori
O: It is serious. How can anyone write that with out putting their heart into it? Tell your sensei this!!
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH BEING A PILLAGER?!"D: When I watched the One Piece anime, at the same part of Volume 7, chapter 57, "Dreams Have a Reason" it says the reason Zeff lost his
leg got torn off in the shipwreck... did they change that in consideration of the young children watching the show?
O: Yes. Hearing "eat your own leg" in that episode would be too much of a shock for young children. When you consider that a medium such
as television has tens of millions of viewers, to neglect such a consideration would be a terrible mistake. It's amazing that all
those animators can continue to create such wonderful shows while still thinking about these things all the time!! If you can
feel the love when you watch the show, everyone please send fan letters to Toei Animation. It'll cheer everyone up there.By Stephen the translating transformer</cosplayer>

I suggest you edit your post to credit Stephen.

Whoa… that's alot of info.
THanks

Now you can have the SBS for chapters 45- 230
SBS 45-230
(all the text comes from Stephen's scripts(because he pwns)) -
Blue and Red include all the important information which Oda stated in the SBS up to the time when Blue was made (around Volume 24). So translate Blue and Red, and you'll get all that info.
omae no kaasan v.2, if I'm not mistaken, you have the translations in plain text of alot of Red and Blue. I don't know if you'd ever want to scanlate them, but if you want to, please do. Like I said in the first place, I only scanned Red and Blue in the hopes that someone could scanlate them.
