Q: Oda Sensei! [He] kept [his] promise <3 Are you coming to the wedding?
A: Everyone! Please look at this, from volume 58 SBS! T/N: Someone wrote to Oda saying that their boyfriend said he'd marry them if they made it into SBS. He included their letter and said the guy better keep his promise. Because Japanese omits pronouns, it's hard to tell who she's talking about so Oda had to refresh the readers' memory by including the original SBS question.
Q: Katakuri sure is handsome isn't he? But I'm the one who's going to be a model right?
A: Perhaps.
Q: Lola and Chiffon sure are ugly aren't they? But the one to become a model would be my wife wouldn't it?
A: You're really going to get crushed to death by your wife.

Q: Hi Oda! I noticed something interesting, Katakuri doesn't eat in front of people, but in Vol 86, ch 861 pg 3 he's eating something, you can see bite marks on it.
A: Yes, well spotted! It's not that Katakuri doesn't eat in front of people but rather he doesn't let people see him eating. Here, let me illustrate. Can you see it? No you can't! His mouth wasn't split from birth. It's from his speed (of eating). I'm considering whether to explain it in the story or not.
Q: How much to stay inside Rook for a night?
A: If you're approved by Bege, it's free of charge. If not, then no amount of money will suffice.

Q:Can the messenger bats in the OP world deliver luggage? What about sending gifts between pirate crews?
A: I've never seen such considerate pirates. So they don't exist. Messenger bats are mainly used by the WG as a method of communication. Civilians can request News Coo and they can request a company called 'Little birds Post' but the distance they can fly is short. Albatross Post can fly long distances, but there are many situations where they are unable to deliver. So post services outside of the government agencies are not 100%. Usually between pirate crews, they will just use their boats to send items. Because they have no fixed address. So you can imagine that parting ways for them is a lot more serious than how we normally consider it.

Q: Odacchi hello! 883 revealed Katakuri's shocking true appearance; could it be that Oda's policy is 'never draw perfect characters'? Katakuri gave me a sense of intimacy this chapter. It must be stressful trying to maintain an image for the people around you.
A: Katakuri is laughing! He's laughing! As a policy perfect people are boring. People love other people's weaknesses/flaws.
Q: Is Tsuru going to follow Doflamingo's request and bring him the newspaper every day?
A: No way, how can a prisoner receive such service? But Doffy has a lot of friends in prison, I'm sure he can use some method to get the paper from time to time. Fufufufu!
Q: What is Luffy's criteria for a 'beautiful woman'? Why is Alvida a beauty when Nami, Robin and Hancock are not?
A: Luffy has indeed said that Alvida is a beautiful woman. When normal people say it, it's meant as high praise. But to Luffy, it's just a way of categorising people. Even though his senses are not normal, Luffy can tell. But no matter what they look like, he's not interested.
