One Piece is popular not only because of Luffy’s adventures and adrenaline-pumping battles but also because of its inclusivity. So far, the series has featured several powerful female characters like Boa Hancock, Nico Robin, and Nami as well as cross-dressing individuals.
What began as the saga of a wannabe pirate king has become a story that anyone can relate with. In an interview to celebrate One Piece‘s 21st anniversary, Eiichiro Oda opens up abut the inclusive prospect in his series.

Ever since the Five Elders stepped on Egghead Island in One Piece, things have gotten worse for the Straw Hat Pirates. The Five Elders have changed the entire course of the battle and not only stopped Dr. Vegapunk from escaping the island but also proved that Luffy’s Gear 5 abilities are not enough.
Five Elders in One Piece | Toei Animation
If Luffy and his crew manage to escape from the island by some miracle, it will not change the simple fact that Luffy’s abilities are insufficient for the next stage in the One Piece story. While the Five Elders are some of Luffy’s most formidable opponents, the forthcoming antagonists will be even more powerful.
As a result, Luffy basically needs a power-up that could give him powers better than Gear 5 and enable him to take down the Five Elders as well as all future adversaries. Eiichiro Oda may...

2024 is proving to be a big year for One Piece. Not only is the series excelling in the anime and manga world, but it has taken global recognition to a different level.

Not only that, One Piece has also got its first One Piece cafe in America, and that too is located in Las Vegas. Along with that, the collaboration of One Piece with the Sphere will also mark the launch of One Piece’s first English YouTube channel, which will offer fans from all over the world an easy and comfortable understanding of the franchise.
However, fans of Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball might not be happy with One Piece getting world recognition on a whole new level.

Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece came back with a banger as the spoilers of Chapter 1115 recently surfaced on the internet. While these spoilers are not official, they are mostly correct and offer a glimpse of what the narrative of the upcoming One Piece chapter has to offer, and this time, they have given a lot of details about the two most important aspects of One Piece.
One Piece | Toei Animation
According to the spoilers, the final villain of Oda’s magnum opus has made a return once more in the story, but Oda has still not revealed his identity. The spoilers for One Piece chapter 1115 feature a panel with Imu and his connection to Joy Boy. However, his face is still a mystery and hidden in a shadow, just like his previous appearances.

Luffy’s Gear 5 is right now the epitome of his powers in One Piece. He unlocked these powers while fighting Kaido during the Wano arc, and he defeated the strongest creature in the world. However, these powers might not be able to save him in the Egghead Island arc as the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates is fighting the Five Elders, the strongest individuals in the World Government.
Gear 5 Luffy vs Kaido | Toei Animation
As of now, Luffy has been struggling against the Gorosei, and no matter which move he tries, he is not able to even land a scratch on them, much less defeat them. Therefore, there is a chance that Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, might introduce a new power-up for the protagonist. And the recent events in Chapter 1114 might have already hinted at this upcoming power-up.

The swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates in One Piece, Roronoa Zoro, is one of the most popular characters in the series. His popularity stems from his extreme talent as a swordsman, his cool attitude, and his loyalty towards his crew, especially his captain, Monkey D. Luffy. Besides Killer, Zoro is the only member of the worst generation who is not a captain.

Fans have loved Zoro since the beginning of the series and have wanted to know more about the character. However, even after 1100+ chapters, very little has been explored about the character by Eiichiro Oda.

Tite Kubo’s Bleach is known for a lot of things, but the most prominent aspect that makes Bleach part of the Big Three is its action sequences. While the series may sometimes lack in terms of the storyline or the characters, it has never failed to portray brilliant action sequences that take the breath away from anime fans.

Kubo’s way of drawing action sequences is completely different from that of any other manga creator.

As the events of the Egghead Island arc come to an end, Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is already getting ready for the next installment in the adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates. It has been made blatantly obvious by the One Piece narrative that the next arc is the Elbaf arc, and evidently, it is going to be even better than Wano and Egghead.
Usopp in One Piece | Toei Animation
One of the main reasons why the arc is going to be better is because of the importance of Elbaf in the story and in the life of Usopp, the sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates. Usopp has held the desire to visit the Elbaf village since the beginning of the series, and he also wishes to become a great warrior of the sea, just like the giants.

One Piece chapter 1114 has finally revealed the alleged weapon, Mother Flame, and it has shocked the One Piece fandom. The Mother Flame, when introduced, had a lot of renditions that were supposed to be used for different purposes, like an unlimited energy source, but being controlled by Imu and the World Government, it is only being used for destruction.

Not much is known about the mysterious power except the fact that it is incredibly strong and could wipe out entire planets. However, since its revelation in the latest One Piece chapters, many new theories have been devised by One Piece fans about the origin of Mother Flame and its overall role in the One Piece narrative.

Assassin’s Creed Shadows looks poised to be a departure from the tone and tenor of its franchise, especially as of late. While last year’s Assassin’s Creed Mirage was always intended to be a throwback to earlier games in the series, that installment was also marketed as something of a side story—a smaller contained adventure versus the sprawling open world RPGs which compose Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and Valhalla. But Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the series’ long-requested foray into the history of feudal Japan? This title is being developed by the same team at Ubisoft Québec that gave us Odyssey. So players very well might have expected more of the same.
If so, the first trailer and press releases of Shadows appear to be a warning and a promise: the next AC game will be going its own way, right down to the fact that for the first time,...

The legends in the game, Akira Toriyama and Eiichiro Oda, have always expressed respect and admiration for each other. Oda has always talked about how he was inspired by Dragon Ball, and it was one of the main reasons why he entered the manga world. Toriyama also used to praise the brilliant work of the One Piece creator.
Dragon Ball Z
Both creators are considered to be the pillars of the manga industry, and their works, Dragon Ball and One Piece, have not only amassed a huge fan following since the day they started, but they have also inspired many other manga artists. In a way, both of them were rivals, trying to reach the top of the industry, but that didn’t stop them from admiring each other’s work.

Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece is filled with inspiration and references to a lot of mythical and mythological narratives that are spread across the world. From Alabasta to Fish-men Island, every new arc brings with it a reference to one of the old cultural tales from different communities. The same is going to happen with the Elbaf arc.

Letting go of hostility, a friendly competition was accepted between the two that let their works grow in fame as each chapter came out. Kishimoto’s work is one that has inspired many. Whether it is the heroes or the villains, even the powers; a lot can be found inspiring.

Although Dragon Ball and Naruto might be great in a number of ways, the one place where One Piece excels is the manga sales. Since the release of the first chapter of One Piece in July 1997, the series has only gone up in terms of general sales of manga volumes and has set a benchmark that no other series can even imagine reaching.

Eiichiro Oda’s masterpiece has set multiple world records with its sales, and it has been doing so for almost 30 years.

Eiichiro Oda has always been one to take inspiration from other sources and inspire others at the same time. Starting One Piece decades ago, he has seen the advantage of witnessing eras change and evolve with time. There are many famous mangakas who are openly giddy about the ideas that have come to fruition because of Oda’s contributions to the anime and manga industry.

Many of those include Gege Akutami (Jujutsu Kaisen), Yuki Tabata (Black Clover), and Kohei Horikoshi (My Hero Academia). In this widespread range, there was one particular comment made by Takehiko Inoue that struck Oda in the best way possible. So much so that it became an inspiring moment in return, making him want to write and draw more of One Piece.

Masashi Kishimoto’s Naruto and Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece are arguably two of the most popular shonen series of this generation. Both series have dominated the manga sales for their epic runs and have been part of the Big Three, and their anime adaptations have plastered every fan of the series to their screens. The longevity of both series speaks volumes to their popularity as the shows attract different generations of fans year after year.

Both series featured hundreds of episodes with similar themes of friendship, the pursuit of one’s dreams, and perseverance, leaving a lasting impact on pop culture.

As the final phase of One Piece has already started with the Egghead Island arc, there are still some storylines and characters that Eiichiro Oda has yet to introduce in the story. One of them is the anticipated “pirate with the eye patch”, who, according to the creator, might be one of the most important characters of the series.
One Piece
In 2007, Oda talked about a pirate with an eye patch who was going to bring a huge change to One Piece. This came as a shock to One Piece fans because, despite One Piece being an anime and manga series about pirates, it has never once featured a pirate with the stereotypical eye patch.

The narrative of One Piece has frequently pointed out the fact that Shanks’ crew is the only Emperor crew in the series who do not possess any kind of Devil Fruit abilities. He has reached such great heights in the Pirate world only because of his Haki abilities. This is indeed an incredible feat, and no other crew has been able to do this.

However, there is a theory going online that states that Shanks might have a Devil Fruit, and it has been kept a secret from the One Piece fans. The fruit not only provides him with basic Devil Fruit powers but also helps him with his strongest Haki ability. This Haki ability is called Future Sight, and it is the advanced version of Observation Haki.

However, as she is getting old and the series is still a little far away from the conclusion, the creators might have to find someone else who could do justice to the character of Luffy. This has also become a major concern for Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece. Oda never imagined that the series would go on for so long.
In an interview, Oda talked about how Masako Nozawa, the character who voiced Dr. Kureha in One Piece, offered to take Tanaka’s role as Luffy’s voice actor in One Piece.

The Dragon Ball franchise has not only left a huge impact on generations of children, teens and young adults, but also on the manga industry. So, after the original Dragon Ball manga concluded in 1995, a huge vacuum was created in its place.
While many wanted to take advantage of it and further their own manga, very few could actually survive in the market. The same is true for Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece.

One Piece has been trending since the beginning of Monkey D. Luffy vs. Rob Lucci on the Egghead Island. Even though there are several anime that are pretty good and competing for first place, One Piece has made the first position its stronghold. Thousands of readers prefer One Piece over other manga, and Eiichiro Oda has worked hard to achieve that level of popularity.
