It's racism because he's a fish :p, Thanks google-kun but I had already seen the full HQ before coming to my conclusion...

Very impressive cover.

Love the shots of the three admirals lined up perfectly in the middle of the cover. I can’t wait for the Viz version of V.58. Dammit. I’m going to have to wait a very long time before it gets released over here. :darn I'm sure it’ll be worth it though. :3

Aohige on AP:

A lot of names are from locations around the
world.

For example Namur is a real city in Belgium and this is how it's spelt in Japanese.
Same goes for Fossa, Blenheim, etc.


King Dew could be KingDu or KingDoo, but I figure Dew is more natural and commonly used for デュー. But it could be either way.
Izou is an actual Japanese name, so no real point to guess. It's an old feudal name that's not really used anymore. It fits the character's looks.

I vote for "Blamenco" for ブラメンコ, because it is nearly identical to the Spanish dance Flamenco (フラメンコ), and most likely a pun on that.

Namur, Blenheim, Rakuyou, Haruta, and Fossa are all real city names. It seems to be a running theme in WB commanders' naming.
Okay folks. Your lucky day. I got let off an hour early. This is not everything important and/or fun but here are the things besides the names and age and sizes that stood out. Nowhere near nice detail but here it is.

Tsuru's fruit it the 'Wash Wash' Fruit. She can wash people which is useful for a Marine since she can clean pirates to their black hearts.

He orignally intended to use the Face Fleur in Skypiea for Robin to move unconscious crew members but figured it was too scary-looking. He might use it though.

Someone asks why Ace has freckles but he avoids and instead goes on about how he forgets to draw them 92% of the time and asks staff to check him.

He says that while the inspiration for Iva and most of the okama in ID was from TRHPS Iva is actually based on the member of Mayumi Tanaka's acting troupe that he met. He's a real okama and his face looked like a boulder (iwa) so when he heard his family name was 'Imamura' he mistook it for another common family name 'Iwamura'. Anyway, the guy heard that the character was based on him and auditioned for the role for the anime and...he got it. So in a way, like Luffy, that's literally his real voice.
It's literally 'Wash Wash'. ウォシュウォシュの実

All my money was on pera pera or hira hira but it seems he wanted to emphasize how she can literally 'clean' people.

Opening flap:

I can't stand how certain things are just automatically decided for us. Being born into a 'Year of the Rabbit'!!? A 'Year of the Goat'!!? What the hell!!! Those weakling animals suck!! And so I'm going to change them.

'YEAR OF THE GIANT MAN-EATING RABBIT'

'YEAR OF THE 'CAN-SWALLOW-AN-ANACONDA-WHOLE' DEVIL GOAT'

Scary-shiz.

And so powerful.

Here we go with Volume 58!!

Someone asks when WB will use that boomerang beneath his nose. He says when he goes to the park with his dog, Stefan.

"Here we go boy! Go fetch! Stefan!" *whoosh*
"BARK!?"
"It ain't a frisbee so it comes back to me, Gurarara!!"

This includes a picture of Stefan who replaces pwngoat in every way I can imagine. Sorry.



Someone asks if WB's beard can hold bananas. He says if you take off the fastener in the back it can hold a total of six.




Is WB Logia or Paramecia? Oda explains carefully that he was Paramecia. He's not a living earthquake. But we knew this.



Someone growls. Oda replies.



Told you about Face Fleur already.



Expanding on the freckles, Oda fools the young readers by adding useless info that there was an old proverb: "Don't mind freckles." and asked readers to ask their parents. But this is actually the opening line of the theme song to Candy Candy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlusW5IBhcw


Ages and heights you know I believe. You probably heard Boa's sizes. Just don't forget to adjust her J cup to your local standards.


Tsuru's cleaning ability is only slightly effective but still dangerous to pirates.


Someone asks why people get into the Usopp Gallery more than once. Inferring that this isn't fair, they ask if Oda isn't the one who chooses them. Oda actually chooses with a team consisting of him, the comic chief (Yokoyama) and head of the staff in charge of the Usopp Gallery section and they choose not necessarily what Oda thinks is best, but what they think would excite readers. That's why sometimes people get in multiple times. However, no one will ever be allowed to win more than once.


You know the names.



Someone says they could use Haki. Oda reacts in a lengthy and strangely uneccessary way, making me think he brought it up because he intends to use it soon in the main story.



Although Oda doesn't mention Dr. FF for Iva, the reader's question does.



An unnecessary gag about giving Nami a full-body exam as a reader joined the Medical Club at school being inspired by Chopper.



Someone asks about the difference between Ace and Marco's fruit and Oda purposely doesn't expand much because he hints that we'll be seeing him again BUT in the meantime his flame isn't hot, it can't spread or burn and the blue flame is what indeed heals Marco AND can invalidate attacks HOWEVER, there is a limit it's reviving abilities.


Someone says SBS can be kinda perverted. Oda says it's ok cause he says worse things at home.


Oh and someone said if their significant other would marry them if they got in the SBS so Oda put it in and wished them well. I'm calling bullshit on it but the thought is nice on Oda's part.

Done.

Oh fuck shit! 7 meters Moria and Kuma?

To think about it now, Crocodile was way taller than Robin. In the anime he is draw like 2m, but to think about it, he is indeed 2.5m...

I don't understand the "Ussopp Gallery" part, I don't even know what is it.

Someone asks about the difference between Ace and Marco's fruit and Oda purposely doesn't expand much because he hints that we'll be seeing him again BUT in the meantime his flame isn't hot, it can't spread or burn and the blue flame is what indeed heals Marco AND can invalidate attacks HOWEVER, there is a limit it's reviving abilities.
=> this is very interesting. So his DF power is not as powerful as expected, and we'll see him again, probably in fight since Oda doesn't want to say much more (but I think he already said a lot).

The Haki part is also interesting but somewhat expected.

Re: One Piece Volume Cover thread! (Latest: Vol. 57)

Indeed, Usopp Gallery Pirates is a small collection of fans artworks sent in, and picked by Oda and the the people responsible for the volume =)

However, this is the volume cover thread, so please keep the SBS and volume discussion out of here ;)

Oh a preview already? Good cover but I'm not all that impressed with it. Maybe I'll have different thoughts once I see a better quality.
