FAG
#da originally planned One Piece to last five years, and he had already planned out the
ending, but he found himself en<oying the story too much to end it in that amount of time
and no; has no idea ho; long it ;ill take to reach that point=
F4G
$evertheless, the author
states, as of July !!3, that the ending ;ill still be the one he had decided on from the
beginning and he is committed to seeing it through to the end, no matter ho; many years
it takes=

When creating a 9evil Fruit, #da thinks of something that ;ould fulfill a human desireD
he added that he does not see ;hy he ;ould dra; a 9evil Fruit unless the fruitEs
appearance ;ould entice one to eat it=
F>G
8he names of many special attacks and other
concepts in the manga consist of a form of punning, in ;hich phrases ;ritten in kan:i are
paired ;ith an idiosyncratic reading= 8he names of 6uffy, San<i, (hopper, Hobin, and
FrankyEs techniJues are often mixed ;ith other languages, and the names of a number of
CoroEs s;ord techniJues are designed as <okesD for example, some of them look fearsome
;hen read by sight but sound like kinds of food ;hen read aloud )like CoroEs signature
move, #nigiri, ;hich is rendered as demon9s cut but may also mean rice dumpling*=
%isaku 'noue, the animation director, has said that the creators did not use these kan:i
readings in the anime since they Lmight have cut do;n the laughs by about half=L

$evertheless, 0onosuke ,da, the director, said that he believes that the creators Lmade
the anime pretty close to the manga=L

#da ;as LsensitiveL about ho; his ;ork ;ould be translated=
F?G
8he %nglish version of
the One Piece manga in many instances uses one onomatopoeia for multiple
onomatopoeia used in the Japanese version= For instance, LsaaaL )the sound of light rain,
close to a mist* and L'aaaL )the sound of pouring rain* are both translated as
Lfshhhhhhh=L

cro;ds, animals, smoke, clouds, and oceansNhimself to create a consistent look ;hile
leaving his staff to dra; the backgrounds based on sketches dra;n by #da=
FA!G
When a reader asked #da ;ho $ami is in love ;ith, #da ans;ered that there ;ill not
likely be any romance among the Stra; :at &irates= #da explained that he does not
portray romance in One Piece as the series is a sh7nen manga, and the young boys ;ho
