Eiichiro Oda

In 1992, Oda at age 17 began his manga career starting as an assistant to three different mangakas for the weekly shonen manga magazine Shonen Jump. In the same year he submitted his first work called Wanted! for which he won second place at Tezuka Award. At first he worked with Masaya Tokuhiro on Jungle King Ta-Chan in 1992. In 1994, he briefly worked with Shinobu Kaitani with Suizan Police Gang before going back to Tokuhiro. In the same year he left college as a freshman. After Jungle King finished its run in 1995, he and Tokuhiro went on to create Mizu No Tomodachi Kappaman, it ran from 1995 to 1996. Also in the same year he moved on to work with Nobuhiro Watsuki on Rurouni Kenshin in 1996. During this time Oda met Hiroyuki Takei. Oda drew scenes in that manga with his own art style.

During 1993 and 1994, he created other works such as God's Gift for the Future (1993), Ikki Yako (1994) andMonsters (1994), the last of which he would later mix with One Piece.

In late 1996, while still working with Watsuki, he created two one-shots for the upcoming manga artist showcase called Romance Dawn, Version 1 and Version 2, which would become the first chapter of One Piece. In 1997, he later quit working with Nobuhiro to begin working on One Piece, doing many early One Piece sketches that would appear in Color Walk 1. He planned out the early stage of One Piece (chapters 1-8) before he officially started it.

However, he made many changes, such as changing Boogie to Buggy, changing Zoro from being Buggy's henchman to being a wandering swordsman, and changing Morgan's appearance (he was originally supposed to look like a Sumo but Oda's editors wanted him to change it, which he did). Later Nobuhiro Watsuki would pay a tribute to Oda by drawing the Straw Hat Pirates' jolly roger in one chapter of Rurouni Kenshin as a picture on a bomb used by Gein, one of Yukishiro Enishi'ssubordinates.

One Piece (1997-Current)Edit

Finally in August, 1997, he created his signature work, One Piece. Having been inspired by pirates, he made One Piece a pirate series.

In 1998, Oda did designs for the first OVA and was happy to see One Piece getting animated. In 1999, Toei Animation adopted One Piece and the staff would often meet up with Oda to discuss how to handle the series.

In 2002, he met Chiaki Inaba, who played Nami during the Shonen Jump Fiesta, and the two started going out, and in 2004, they got married. In 2006, he and his wife had a daughter. In April 2006, Oda unexpectedly fell ill and One Piece was not released that week. However he recovered and resumed One Piece the next week. Because of his recent illness, Oda felt the fans needed to catch up so he created Grand Line Times.

In 2007, at the JUMP Fiesta 2008, in the absence of Shūichi Ikeda, when the voice actors acted out the Red-Hair of Class 3 - Sea Time short, he wore a hot pink wig for the part and explained he would only do this because One Piece was in its tenth year.^[1] Later that year, he teamed up with Akira Toriyama to create a Dragon Ball/One Piece crossover calledCross Epoch.

He was also involved in writing and directing the tenth One Piece movie, the first movie that he actually wrote the script for, in honor of the tenth anniversary of One Piece.

Oda's message to the earthquake victims.

In 2011 after the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake disaster, Oda as well other mangaka drew messages to the victims.

Futur

Oda stated in an interview that he wanted to create a robot manga after he finished One Piece. Later, however, he stated that after he finishes One Piece, he would take the same path Toriyama did and create short-story manga.

BROOK


"Dead Bones" (formerly "Humming") Brook (ブルック Burukku^?), is a musician. Brook is a living skeleton, resurrected by the Paramecia-type Revive-Revive Fruit (ヨミヨミの実 Yomi Yomi no Mi^?), which gives a second life to the user if they die. He is an excellent musician, who says that he can to play any instrument, although he is usually seen playing the violin. He is also a skilled fencer, who uses a shikomizue (a Japanese cane sword), in battle. Brook can hypnotize people with his music. His lightweight skeleton body allows him to jump extraordinarily high and to run across water. He has a very childish and energetic personality. When Brook's crew, the "Rumbar Pirates", enters the Grand Line, they leave their pet whale "Laboon" behind at Reverse Mountain, promising to return after sailing around the world. Fifty years later, Brook considers it his duty to fulfill his former crew's promise. He is voiced by Chō. Ian Sinclair provides his voice in the Funimation English adaptation.The idea of a skeleton musician was first conceived by Oda in 2000.

NICO ROBIN

    
"Devil Child" Nico Robin (ニコ・ロビン Niko Robin^?) is an archaeologist originating from Ohara (オハラ^?), home of the world's largest and oldest library; she becomes an archaeologist at the age of eight^[ch. 391f.] and learns how to decipher the writings on the ancient stones called Poneglyph (歴史の本文（ポーネグリフ） Pōnegurifu^?), which are scattered around the world. However, the World Government destroys the island for housing archaeologists along with her returning mother, Nico Olvia (ニコ･オルビア Niko Orubia^?), researching these stones. As a result, Robin cooperates with various pirates and other outlaws, eventually becoming a member of Baroque Works as its vice president, nicknamed as "Ms. All-Sunday" (ミス・オールサンデー Misu Ōrusandē^?) at the time, being briefly an antagonist to the Straw Hat Pirates before joining them. Like the scholars of Ohara before her, it is her dream to find and decipher the Rio Poneglyph (真の歴史の本文（リオ・ポーネグリフ） Rio Pōnegurifu^?), which is said to tell the world's lost history.Her devotion to history and its preservation goes so far that she will even risk her life to protect ancient artifacts and buildings. Robin ate the Paramecia-type Flower-Flower Fruit (ハナハナの実 Hana Hana no Mi^?), allowing her to create temporary copies of parts of her body on surfaces near her. However, if her replicated parts are hurt, she feels the pain on her actual body. In the original Japanese series, Robin's voice actress is Yuriko Yamaguchi In the 4Kids English adaptation, her codename was changed to Miss Sunday and she is voiced by Veronica Taylor. In the Funimation English adaptation, her voice was supplied by Stephanie Young.

franky




Originally named Cutty Flam (カティ・フラム Kati Furamu^?), he eventually starts calling himself Franky (フランキー Furankī^?) at the recommendation of Iceberg to hide his identity, gains infamy as "Cyborg" Franky (サイボーグ フランキー Saibōgu Furankī^?), and becomes shipwright of the Straw Hat Pirates. Abandoned by his pirate parents on the Grand Line island Water 7 at the age of ten, Franky becomes an apprentice to the master shipwright Tom along with Iceburg, who later becomes the island's mayor. When Tom is taken away as a criminal by the World Government for building Gold Roger's ship the Oro Jackson, Franky tries to stop them. In the process, he is severely injured and, to survive, rebuilds parts of his body using pieces of scrap metal, turning himself into a cola-powered cyborg with super-human strength. His dream is to build a ship, become its shipwright, and sail it to the end of the world. To that end, he builds the Thousand Sunny, a brigantine-rigged sloop-of-war to replace the sunken Going Merry as the Straw Hat Pirates' vessel and joins Luffy's crew. In the anime adaptation, his voice actor is Kazuki Yao. Patrick Seitz provides his voice in the Funimation English adaptation.
