It's August and I'm in Japan! Feel free to ask anything you want about me, the series, its characters, aspects or whatever you want and I'll answer in great depth!

By the way, I apologize for not getting many sneak peeks out recently, but the past month has been brutally overwhelming, for obvious reasons, and it's been incredibly hard to work on content at all. There's a bunch of exclusive projects I want to share with you, so please stick around!

Hiya Artur, I hope you're enjoying yourself in Japan! Was wondering what your thoughts on the secret Ivankov had on Crocodile was? Is Sir Crocodile perhaps Lady Crocodile?

I think it’s exactly what everyone thinks: Crocodile was originally a woman! As a kid Crocodile appears to be rather androgynous and in his youth his face is obscured from Roger’s execution. Him being a woman that was changed into a man just works out so well and it’s certainly not the sort of secret he’d want leaked. I could even imagine Crocodile originally feeling frail as a woman and not having enough influence, asking Ivankov to change his gender because of that. Certainly there’s a story behind it. Yet at the same time, I also think it’s something that might never get revealed. The reason why it’s so funny is because while everyone agrees on it, it’s not confirmed so it leaves some room for mystery despite the obvious implication given how this is Ivankov we’re talking about. It’s been plenty teased in the story and his vivre card, so I feel quite confident about it. Plus, there’s plenty of big secrets Oda never bothers to reveal (for example, Doflamingo’s eyes). That said, no Luffy’s mom theories here! That’s a fun joke but I’m sure it’s unrelated!

1) how many times are you going to see stampede? (jk) 2) Rogerbase mentioned on his live reaction, and is a valid argument, " i am shocked that is website has been shutdown, i love it but...", should we be worried about this? I know you shouldn't be using manga panels, but chapter secrets are so awesome!!! thanks, good holidays/work in Japan!

I already mentalized myself that I'd go watch Stampede 5+ times, so the gifts are really only an excuse haha. Well personally, while I understand it's a valid concern, I'm not exactly sure how Shueisha could shut down the Library. The reason they manage to strike on youtube is due to the loophole of youtube's broken report system, which technically speaking is borderline illegal on their side, as it goes against fair use. On a site you don't have said tools though, so you can't really take it down without serious legal action, which I doubt Shueisha would take or could even afford to be bothered to take. I know Roger panics abut this sort of situation due to how his channel was heavily affected by strikes, but I feel he overblows this situation a little for other content creators (even if the threat is very much real). That said, I certainly don't want to tempt a chained dog, so I do think it's worth thinking about at least. I'm planning to make a switch to releasing Chapter Secrets on Mondays in the near future, so at the very least that should help solve all issues
