Some additional pics from sandman@AP.

And the important missing pic from Ashcraft's article:

The dragon one is about the Revolutionary Army.

Oda got a jellyfish tank. <3

Most of his office stuff I had seen on another video, I think during the promotional stuff for Film Z but it's interesting to read the facts about the story, him speaking with his editors and such. His bathroom is scary as hell, how he manages to poop there...brave man.

Wow, that's cool. Is it really about the Revolutionary Army though? Couldn't it be Kaidou or something? Any idea what's written on each of those o: ?

If anything it should be an incentive to poop and gtfo of there and go back to work :teehee

It's the RA. The characters are the same: 革命軍

I wonder what the top right one is though; the one with the 4.

I googled the raw, but can't tell if they're the same characters :/.

Akainu · Oct 5, 2015

[SIZE=+1]技 [/SIZE]is the character used here I think, in case you want to look it up.
The manga doesn't use kanji but katakana for gear 4th iirc.

That's a cool ass bathroom, the shark is a bit scary though.

Left one says Big Mom and Yonkou underneath, middle is Revo + Dragon, upper is Gear 4, right is obviously Zou, last year we already saw Wa No.

Was re-reading old chapters, can't help but wonder that Capone's ship was elevated by none other than Shiki. Shiki's powers are to do with elevation of objects assuming the movie was accurate in that respect and also, there are similarities between Shiki and Capone, so it's understandable that they'd work together:

Shiki is rather like a mafia boss too as is Capone.
Both probably share the same mentality, so they'd work well together.

I don't think Capone was working for Big Mom since they weren't on her ship and seemed to have coincidentally bumped into them and decided to spectate. It'd be understandable if they wanted Caeser too for business reasons, it wouldn't be odd for a crew of mafia to be interested in such a guy as Caeser and it's very well known that Shiki is a renowned schemer.

Shiki did say he'd make a comeback and he may have decided to do so now that Whitebeard is death - (he did once say this era is yours to WB, and now feels it's his turn now) . If he does come back in the manga, I don't think it'd be odd, so I guess it could be a possibility in future that we'll encounter him in later on.

Movie characters will never appear in the manga, that's all there's to it so no way Shiki will make an appearance, maybe in a flashback sure

Where's your source to confirm that? Last we know, he told Whitebeard he'll show the world what a real pirate is like after telling Whitebeard it's now his era and I'm sure at least that part is canon as is his escape from Impel Down.

Really? I'm not sure I've seen that one. So Oda has Wano already planned, nice.

I think only Chapter 0 is canon, the movie not really.Oda released that chapter with the movie, but as you can tell it doesn't cover all of the events in Strong World, it's a flashback of some sort. After the movies come out, Oda often retcons them from the canon, as said in the wikia.

Chapter 0 is canon and he said he'd lay low and show the world what a real pirate is like.

It hints there's a possibility that he will actually make a return since we still haven't seen him make a re-entrance back into OP as he stated.

We didn't see who was on that ship (supposedly) that was atop Capone and his fleet, but if his powers as shown in the movie were canon too, then he has the potential to pull such a thing off.

But if we follow the events of the movie he got his ass kicked already, which should prevent him from ushering anything.
It could have been something other than a ship, an island perhaps. If a thousand year old elephant can have an "island" on top of his back, then it's possible to have some kind of floating island just like we saw in that page with Capone.
More importantly I don't think Shiki has it in him to start anything, if he does appear again then he could either get his ass kicked by Luffy or the Yonko which honestly should be more powerful.

Thing is if chapter 0 was canon, then what happened in the movie is irrelevant story wise. Shiki even looks younger or similar age to Whitebeard, so how can one say he doesn't have it in him anymore? We simply don't know what he's doing or what he's done.

As far as One Piece goes (bar movie), he's not defeated Shiki and Shiki is still MIA.

Dunno and honestly it doesn't matter that much. I tend to regard anything related to movies as not canon,so pretty much everything relating to Shiki and Z are like that to me. This is why I also don't believe that Weeble is the one who cut Zephyr's arm. If it turns out it really is like this, then we can pretty much forget about Shiki.
Also I'm not sure but I believe Oda also released a chapter for One Piece Z. So you see it's kinda blurry when it comes to movies and their canonicity.And Oda often goes back and retcons them.Also if Shiki is going to play a part in the future we can pretty much expect him to have his plans foiled, because he's from the old generation.Oda went out of his way to show that this is the time of the new generation, not the old one, as seen with WB, but also Garp,Sengoku to a certain extent, and even someone like Chinjao. Given that I don't have much expectations when it comes to Shiki.

Well, personally, the way I see chapter 0, I find it relevant because it's relevance is consistent in all the arcs that have transpired:

We see cp9 training from youth who were the main antagonist in Water 7.
We see Whitebeard's crew which included Marco, Jozu, Teach who were relevant in the Marineford arc.
We see Roger's old crew who are still relevant.
We see Hacchi who was relevant in the Arlong park arc.
We even see Dalton, Vivi, Wapol and others I may have missed who have been explicitly connected and involved in the arcs we've all seen.

I see no reason to question it's authenticity so far, so to say Shiki will not be relevant would be contrary to the relevance it's hard thus far. As to Shiki's plans being foiled, everyone's plan will get foiled as has been the case with every other antagonist. Even Shanks is a part of the old generation, but he still has a role to play, so I don't see why Shiki couldn't have a role in future arcs too.

Except there's concrete proof that Shiki will not feature in future arcs, I see no reason to throw this plausibility out the window yet. Although, I do understand the point of view you're speaking from.
