Sorry, where can I read Strong World/Chapter 0?

I've just finished watching this TV program.
Great work, Greg-san!
I want to see more of your ONE PIECE analysis notebooks
I went to the National Diet Library to investigate past Weekly Jumps, too.
And here is Greg and his famous notes ^^
Good job, redon as always!
kind of surprised to know a voice actor would know this, I mean, do they do the episodes that far in advance? Otherwise I don't know why they would know about sabo..
The animation producer of ONE PIECE gave the next issue of Jump to her.
That's strange… why would he talk about these old scenes?
The voice actors of strawhats recalled the 4 impressive scenes in ONE PIECE.
Oda commented on each of them.
@Enzeru:
that last sentence, is Oda referring to chapter 731 there? Or who else could he mean with 'that guy' in that particular context?
According to Oda, Mayumi Tanaka, the voice actress of Luffy, leaked that Sabo was alive before the official Jump release date via chat application to many people (voice actors and animation staffs etc).
Oda made cynical remarks that he had not referred to Sabo explicitly and told a joke about the "guy".
The rest of the information about Jump Festa 2014 (just a summary)
! - At first, Oda didn't have the idea that strawhats abondoned Merry.
However, he decided to abondon Merry since enemy ships were getting stronger.

Red's name is Patrick Redfield. Red and Roger were in the same generation.
Pat is a brush that ate a devil fruit (Mythical Zoan: inuinu no mi model Bake-danuki).
His name seems to be "Red Count" Redfield.
What or who is buried under the tumulus with the swords? There is no mention to it in the movie… Z is also buried near it later... Does it have any meaning?
According to Volume Z, Z's students are buried under the tumulus with the swords.
In front of the grave of Z's students
Aokiji: You liked this kind of liquor, didn't you?…
Z: Kuzan… Do you know the facial expressions that the guys who killed my students have now?
Aokiji: …?
Z: They must be laughing and drinking happily. Someone who kills enemy and survives is right.
Aokiji: …I don't think so...
Z: !! This liquor tastes bad!! I found an answer.
Aokiji: …..
There's been some mystery about this movie that I don't think anyone has really knows the answer, the beginning scene with the poison (which had dialogue changed for the home release according to a past post) is really odd.
The straw hats talk about how Usopp's poison/pesticide alters the taste of their drinks, thus reflecting on being an adult/kid?
It does reflect on the story slightly, but it's hard to tell why it's significant.
Pesticides seem to symbolize/predict Z's extreme justice.
Pesticide kills noxious insects, but at the same time, it is also harmful to humans.
Likewise, Z's justice (blasting Endpoints) kills innocent citizens as well as pirates.
Usopp said, "This poison is for killing worms! If you die, it means you are worms!"
This rough logic seems to apply to Z's justice as Aokiji pointed out, "Z's way of thinking is very simple, isn't he?"
@goty:
Drinking milk when you visit a hot spring is sort of a Japanese tradition.
Exactly. Bottled milk is sold in many hot springs in Japan, but I don't know why
But he did write Zephyr's bio, right?
Yes.
When Oda was asked by an interviewer, "What did you think about Z (and Neo Marine) Suzuki wrote?", he answered, "I thought 'Z is not an attractive character unless I decide to write his detailed background. And finally Z has become an awesome character…' '"
[source] ONE PIECE Newspaper Volume 1 @archanfel:
It is also noted that Z actually at one point caught the pirate who cut off his arm, but the pirate later escaped.
Z captured the pirate who later cut off Z's arm, but after the pirate asked for mercy, Z released him. He told Z that he had a family.
@archanfel:
by the last bit of info a lv 6 Impel Down escapee.
This is not confirmed…
@Monkey:
You're seriously overcomplicating a really obvious line. He's testing his power against WB's.
Hmmm… I will be surprised if most people in this forum think it is an "obvious" line since in Japanese ONE PIECE communities controversy usually occurs when it comes to this topic...
At any rate, thank you for the reply, Monkey King
the true distance between that man and us
If Mihawk wanted to test his strength against Whitebeard, he may have chosen a word "me" instead of "us" since it seems to me that there is a wide range of levels among Shichibukai.
I guess Mihawk just wanted to say that it was not an easy task to directly attack Whitebeard despite the actual distance between Shichibukai and Whitebeard being very "close" since a lot of tough subordinates such as Marco and Jozu would prevent enemies (ex. Kizaru and Mihawk)…
can you tell me how i can save them on my computer please ?

This is such exciting news!! How long have they been doing this?
I guess chapter 714 was just a promo for this since they've only officially reached 646? Are any more of the new chapters scheduled to be coloured?
Has there been any announcement from VIZ about translating and bringing them to NA!?!
Sorry for all the questions, but those samples look lush!! Thanks!

Did Oda really say that the freelancer is Absalom?
Yes. And he says the articles written by Absa is very popular among "guys".
sandman what does it say about the bunnies in the water?
As is often the case with him, he doesn't answer it. He just says "Law likes roast fish"…
Just good in it or are they leaning naturally to it the most?
It seems like just good in it
Thank you redon as always
-Luffy is good at CoC, Zoro CoA, Sanji CoO.
-The name of Law's sword is 鬼哭("Kikoku" = it means demon cries). a cursed sword. It's not classified as wazamono.
@Tri:
Does anyone know where can I find this opening textless? I've been looking for it everywhere and this is the only thread that had links but they are all dead.
@The:
Can anyone give me the source where Oda says that he does not kill anyone because he may need him for later? Thanks
As far as I know, Oda haven't said such a thing…
Instead, he said before, "Basically I don't kill anyone because I want to leave a pleasant impression."
-Asahi Evening Newspaper (26 November 1999)
Do you know where I can find the quote for the "if Enel had a bounty it would be over 500 million" thing ?
Oda stated that in the SBS Volume 43.
http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/SBS_Volume_43
The name of the book is "Luffy no nakama-ryoku"(ルフィの仲間力).
You can buy it on Amazon.jp, but the shipping fee may be quite expensive…
Besides, I think this book is not worth reading...
Oda has stated once that magic is not something he wants to implement in his work.
I just can't remember where.
Oda stated that in "Comickers" (1998)
I said I can't find it in a SBS, where people say they've seen it. SO I asked for a link to it.
From ONE PIECE 10th treasures (2007)
am i right about sea stone being super hard or did i misread that?
According to Fukuro, seastone is as hard as diamond (chapter 400).
I'd need to see what exactly Oda said in order to understand what you're talking about…
I just wanted to go into the argumentation that was tied to Luffy not being able to win from an admiral last December, because it didn't seem right to me.
Sorry for confusing you. To be exact, Oda said "It would be helpful if Zephr uses a word old soldier as the excuse of Luffy defeating Admiral" in Volume Z.
! Fujitora seems not to be old as Zephr (72 years old). so I think it difficult for Luffy to defeat active Admiral in December 2012.
I still can believe that some people still believing that is too early for an admiral to go down and that the SHs can't handle one when they are getting closer to a mini war with two Yonkous, If they cannot take Fujitora out, they should go back to training or stay in Paradise
In December 2012, Oda said Luffy could take Zephr out because he was "former" Admiral . In other words, it was impossibe for Luffy to defeat active Admiral in December 2012 at least.
But since Strawhats are slowly getting stronger as they go through each island (chapter 383), it may be possibe for Luffy to defeat Fujitora now…

@Jewelery:
Has Coby been seen post timeskip?
No. But according to Volume Z, he is a Captain now.
He mastered Rokushiki and abnormally developed CoO.
What is Luffy's bounty in dollars?
I guess berry is almost an equivalent of yen, too. So, Luffy's bounty would be about 4 million dollars.
500 berry: takoyaki (chapter 491 vol.50 )
150 berry: cabbage (chapter 476 vol.49 )
100 berry: eggplant (chapter 550 vol.56 )
@Lazy:
2. Do we have any confirmation concerning Kizaru's post-TS position in the Navy?
According to Volume Z and article in Jump, it is confirmed that Kizaru is still an Admiral. Oda says Kizaru has not changed anything except his suit and turtleneck.
@Lazy:
Got my Volume 70 today.
I have one question: On page 211, what is the "ONE PIECE FILM Z 'GREATEST ARMORED EDITION"?
"GREATEST ARMORED EDITION" comes with Z's key chain & voice stand, a hologram sticker set (nine kinds), re-edited PR material (not for sale), a CD-ROM featuring digital contents such as icon, wallpaper, and screen saver, plus a bonus DVD with a prologue of the film, "GLORIOUS ISLAND," event footage, "ONE PIECE AWARD," interview, and more. I'm going to buy this edition.

After Dr. Slump (the new series), there was a three week period in which something aired before One Piece in that timeslot, but the information as to what, that I don't know. Something aired between September 22 and October 20 of 1999, but I can't find anything.
Today I went to the largest library in Japan and investigated the newspapers in those days.

Hello there, Does anyone have that Kung-Fu spread page in High Definiton? I want to print a poster :)
If I remember right, redon posted this HQ pic. Thank you redon.
where did you got that info??
I looked into every Jump since Oda had started ONE PIECE in the National Diet Library two weeks ago. The purpose was to get the author's comments printed in the last page of Jump. It was tough work. Below is my homepage.

I'm worried about Oda's health…
Does anyone know if Oda ever said anything about him regretting taking shank's arm?
At first, Oda didn't have an idea that Shanks lost his arm.
However, editor Kushima said to Oda, "it's not catchy enough".
Oda decided to take his arm. But I don't know whether Oda is regretting it.

Thank you for all of the pics.
I tried to translate a part of the SBS.
Reader:Please tell me the name of the penguin Kuzan was on.
Oda:Yeah, that penguin is big.
That penguin is categorized as "super penguin" and is good at treading water. (S)he and Aokiji are very compatible. (S)he is a friend of Aokiji since he retired from Marine.
His/her name is "Camel".
Camel is a hard-boiled style penguin. so don't say (s)he is cute.
The name "Camel" seems to be derived from the kind of cigarette that Shunsaku Kudou (acted by Yusaku Matsuda, model of Aokiji) liked
.
@Namekuseijin:
I have a twin and don't even knew it, kkkkkk…
Andre & Kandre, the twins, is that correct?
Yes, it's correct. Andre and Kandre fought together at Marineford though they were twins.
Wait, he said that? When? Where? How?
In ONE PIECE Newspaper Vol.4 published in December 2012, Oda said that ONE PIECE was at least 60% done.

When Oda was young (about 10 years ago), he usually slept only for 2 hours a day. It does not mean that he slept for 2 hours straight. It was an accumulation of 15 minutes' sleep…[1]
Besides, he was on the verge of getting a slipped disc about 6 years ago.[2]
Although he has various kinds of pastime (video game, concert etc), I am worried that Oda is totally exhausted. He said before, "it is the worst betrayal to readers if I can't draw manga any longer losing health." [2] I hope Shueisha will give him a break at least twice a month. And I hope Oda will stop smoking and eating too many doughnuts. He eats about 50 doughnuts every week…[3]
