20 years of One Piece... 20 years of greatness... 20 years of history been written. One Piece reaches 20 years as undoubtedly the greatest of all time. It has been a pleasure to read this series for the past 5~7 years and I hope that it lasts more 10 years with the quality that I surely know that Eichiro Oda will deliver. It was not the first series I started to read, but it is the one to blame for my immersion in this world and for me to be here testing the patience of everybody.

It is strange that nobody is talking about One Piece 20th anniversary here despite being a great achievement, I think people already take One Piece for granted and doesn't think that after it ends we will never see something like this again. Let's celebrate it and discuss a bit about who One Piece influenced you.
I think that any adventure series that comes to Jump is pursuing One Piece and for that reason I can be a bit rasher with those series. Probably, people will say that it is unfair, but pursue greatness is something that everybody should do and it is obvious that everybody in the magazine looks up to One Piece and Oda and dreams to be like him someday, so it is not unfair. This is what the series influenced the most, I think, the critical thinking. You cannot read One Piece and be satisfied with badly structured plots like we see nowadays.
Well, I'm not good at speeches, so I end here. Someone, please decipher Oda message and write it here in Japanese, no need to translate, at least for me, I'm just not able to read well messy Japanese people writing although Oda's calligraphy is not the worst I've seen. XD
