Author's Notes[]

Author's Notes
Volume 061 Intro Image

I despise people who try to be cute. For example, people who try to use cute words are secretly manipulating us into letting our guards down, so be very careful.

"One and only → Wun and onwy♡" "Monument → Monyu♡ment" "No breaks the entire year → No breakies the entire yearrrrr♡" "Mugi yu → Mugyuuuuuuuuuu~~♡"

How about we all keep the cuteness appeal to a bare minimum!!!

A respectable chivalry manga, "ONE PIECE"!! The sixty-first volume!! It's about to start, so my greetings go to you!!!

(Translator's note: These can all be considered as puns in the Japanese language.

  • One and only to Wun and onwy (唯一無二 to 唯一むにっ♡, both pronounced yuiitsumuni) literal translation is "One and only to One and squish♡"
  • Monument to Monyu♡ment (モニュメント to もにゅっ♡メント) could also be translated as monument to "squeeze with a guy"
  • No breaks the entire year to No breakies the entire yearrrrr♡ (年中無休 to 年中むきゅ〜っ♡, both pronounced nennjuumukyuu) literal translation is "No breaks the entire year to sqeeze hug all year~♡"
  • Mugi yu to Mugyuuuuuuuuuu~~♡ (麦湯 to むぎゅ〜〜っ♡) literal translation is "Roasted barley tea to Squeeeeeeeeeze~♡"

Text in image says "Boss, please don't try to stop me!!! I... Even if w'both end up taking e'chother out, I'll make sure to thrust this shank into his abdomen with a 'squish♡'..." [Read in a gangster accent])

HDK! Corner[]

"H(ai) D(omo) K(onnichiwa)! Corner" (lit. "Alright, hello there! segment") is a unique segment included in this volume, where the author, Eiichiro Oda, explains the reason for his month-long hiatus.

Context[]

SBS61 HDK Header
  • Yes, now then, have you all finished reading the third chapter of this volume? Uh-huh. What, what?! That cliff hanger, though!! Like "What the heck is even about to go down in the next chapter, dangit!!". I can almost hear the voices.

Lets listen for them. ..........?....................?? (There were less voices than I expected :( )

  • So. Did you know? One Piece is released every week in a magazine called "Jump". And so, well, I've released chapters up to today for about 14 years now, and finally, the plot is about to take a completely new turn. Yup. Now, since I figured that this would be a good chance, I went to my editor and said this.

"Please give me a vacation from work. I want to play ar-... I mean, I need time to think of a good new twist. Like 3 weeks or so." What I got in return was

"Fine, you'll have to do a colorspread for the resuming chapter, but I'll give you a one-month break."

"Seriously?! That's a lot!!" (Shock)

And so, after promising to do some extra work, I got it- one month!! Seems like all my lovely readers who eagerly wait for the next chapter each week waited patiently for a month. I'm really thankful—sorry for that part, really. I received lots of letters too.

"Please take care and rest a lot" So nice~~.

"Is it true you had a big fight with your editor?" Oi, oi!!

"Are you sick?" No, no...

Seems like I caused a strange ruckus for the sudden happening, but I am totally fine.

I was HAVING A BLAST!! in Hawaii.

SBS61 HDK Oda In Hawaii
  • Well, that's that, so to the people who heard lots of strange rumors and became worried, thank you very much for your concern.

I was HAVING A BLAST!! Ok, can I stop now? Anyhow, I do what I love so I don't mind being overworked, but every time, I end up neglecting my family, and since the trip also came along with quality family time, all was very well. I guess you could say I'm thankful for a lot of things.

  • Well, with all that said, this still all ended up becoming a lot more of a big deal than I was planning for it to be, but in the very end, it's all still the regular old ONE PIECE by the same old me. There are tons more of islands I want to draw. I also am excited to see how Luffy and the co. will grow, who they meet, and what adventures they will have. Please enjoy the new beginning, Saga of the Last Sea, "New World".
