Hello everyone once again! March is here and spring approaches for most of us in the Northern hemisphere! Once again, feel free to ask me any things you wish to know about the world of One Piece or just talk with me if you want to!

By the way, I'd like to apologize for mostly sticking to Ask Me One Piece posts on Patreon recently and not much more. I'm planning to change my Patreon up a bit to hopefully add more benefits in the near future. It's only thanks to all of you I'm able to realistically continue working on the Library now, something I wouldn't be able to do otherwise at my current age given all the responsibilities that begin to arise with growing older, so I want to make your support worthwhile! Thank you everyone for your help and of course, feel free to message me anytime you need something!

37) What do you think will be the overall length of Wano? Both in terms of chapters and time! (I mean, do think that at the latest the Wano Arc will end by late December 2021 with over a 105 chapters)? 38) Please make a list of all the Straw-Hat bounties after the Wano Arc? 39) Besides the moon. Have you ever given thought to the wider environment of outer space and what may lay within it? Do you think that Oda-san will ever touch upon it? Even if it’s just mentioning anything about it?

37) My guess, accounting for the whole saga (so I'd throw in the Reverie as well. To round things up, let's say starting from around Chapter 900), somewhere around 120-150 chapters. Probably closer to 150 given how many battles, action and moments have to happen over Onigashima. The Whole Water 7 Saga is about 140 chapters, from the early 300s to around Chapter 140, so I think Wano will reach a similar length if not surpass it. I feel Oda doesn't want to make it too long but will regardless because there's just too much to tell. If an arc like Dressrosa got around 100 chapters and Whole Cake got around 80, I can't see Wano really being less than that. It makes me wonder as well about the final saga, which would have to be longer than Wano, right? Can't even imagine how long that would take, probably around 150-200 chapters, which is why I don't see Oda managing to make it all under 1200 chapters. As for general years, well, you can do the math: 150 chapters would be around the end of 2021, so I think that's realistic enough 38) I'm not a fan of guessing specific amounts as it's a complete gamble on what the specific numbers will be, but in terms of broader approximates... well for starters I expect (and hope) all Straw Hats get a big boost. This may be their last chance for them to get a bounty increase for the whole series, so I hope they achieve a bit of a peak. Luffy needs to be a few billions closer to Yonko level, though maybe not necessarily above that of the current Yonko (I'd say somewhere around where Blackbeard's current bounty is. He'll definitely get that 5.6 billion bounty by the end of the series (56 is Luffy's lucky number according to Oda), but that'll likely be a post-having found the One Piece moment. Zoro is definitely someone who needs to shoot up, at least over half a billion if not considerably higher, same with Sanji and Jinbe. For all the other Straw Hats, I just hope they pass the 100 million mark and come to have respectable bounties, it's a bit of a shame to see the likes of Nami with such a low bounty (and I wonder, will Chopper ever grow out of his joke bounty?) 39) I've always found it quite shocking that Oda just randomly decided to add aliens of all things in a cover story of all places. The One Piece world is so broad, but having aliens suddenly makes it feel so much broader. Like you said, it really does make you wonder about what cultures and civilizations lie beyond the world of One Piece. But with that said, I honestly doubt Oda will focus on aliens again or really bring them back in any relevant way. I think it was jut this one off fun idea he had for that cover story and to make us wonder about what could lie beyond the One Piece world, but I don't think he'll focus on them and I certainly don't think he should, as it would detract the stakes from the One Piece world itself, so I definitely agree it's for the better they remain as a one off thing

40) Sanjuan Wolf has a DF. How is it possible that he isn’t paralyzed by the seawater? Did Oda-san make a mistake? 41) Why did you choose the name Artur? Is it your real name? 42) What do you think is the stupidest thing Luffy has ever done so far? 43) What’s your least favorite food and drink (as well as why). Also, what is the worse ever question you have ever been asked? 44) If Haki and DF’s exited in our world which types would you want the most? 45) If you possess Sanji’s level of cooking skills, what would you cook besides your favorite food? 46) Luffy will of course fight and defeat BB one day. What about BB’s crew matching up against the other members of the Staw-Hat Crew? Please can you make a list about this? For example Luffy vs BB, Chopper vs Doc Q and Stronger and so on (Also how do you think that Luffy will defeat BB without any asspulls from Oda-san)!?!? 47) One Piece = World Peace. Once the entire WG is defeated by Luffy and all his allies from around the world in the final ever of the series World Peace if finally come? 48) What is your impression/opinion of me? (If you have anything critical to say then say it honestly, I can handle it)! 49) How do you think that Devil Fruits Awaken? 50) Similar to the situation on Fishman Island Arc. Do you think Luffy will use his King’s Haki to knock out as many people as possible (who are his enemies) during the final battle of this arc? (Wano)! 51) Out of 100%, how much do you trust the Japanese VA’s as well as Oda-san himself also the editors? (I hope that this isn’t too personal or private of a question). 52) What do you think the final couple of chapters of the Wano Arc will look like? 53) Once the anime reaches where we are now in the story (OP Chapter 975+) do you think that it might be similar to what we got with Luffy vs Katakuri - Sankeman! All the way through or at least as much as possible?

40) This seems to be a common misconception, but devil fruit users can take baths. They end up losing all their energy, but they're still capable of dipping themselves in water and pulling themselves out (btw, it's not just seawater, all water affects devil fruit users).. The same goes for Sanjuan Wolf, he was resting on the side of the island, so he was simply "taking a bath" by the shore. In the same way that Luffy's body is still rubber underwater, it seems Sanjuan's powers still work even when in contact with water 41) Yes, not much more to that 42) Probably stuff like charging into Wano recklessly, I feel after Whole Cake Island he should've learn his lesson to at least be a little careful and were it not for sheer luck his crewmates would've legitimately been killed for his recklessness 43) Anything with a slimy substance and any alcohol. The latter I just can't drink it, the former causes me to feel like puking (stuff like molten cheese, etc.) 43.5) Any question's a good question (so long it's not too personal) 44) Devil Fruits would be something practical, something I could use, like Kuma's fruit for transportation. For haki, well, you don't really need combat in real life, but there's a certain type of observation haki that allows one to understand the emotions of others (like the one Luffy and Otohime have), which I already sort of possess in real life since I'm very skilled with telling body language/emotions apart 45) Oh man, I wish. I love cooking, but my skills are limited by my age and experience. Having limitless talent like Sanji would be incredible, I'd try all types of cuisines! 46) A bit hard to say since Oda could really go with anything. The ones I feel confident about would be Luffy vs BB, Zoro vs Shiliew, Sanji vs Burgess and Usopp vs Van Augur. Then perhaps Nami vs Lafitte (navigators) or perhaps Catarina, Chopper vs Doc Q and the rest are a bit of a gamble. By the end of the series I expect Luffy to be much stronger, if anything I feel he and Blackbeard have been slowly becoming stronger on an equal rate 47) World Peace is such a relative term. Unfortunately, one cannot change human nature to completely erradicate sources of conflict in an instant: but slowly, little by little, the world can definitely move towards peace, just like ours currently is. The world will certainly be a better place once the Dawn takes place, but it'll be the future generations of the OP world that will have to slowly build a better world, just like Otohime said 48) You certainly have good intentions and a lot of curiosity, but if I can be a bit critical, I've seen some content creators be a bit overwhelmed by all your questions, especially in places unrelated to them. I do think however you're learning to handle that better though, but as a few general tips: if you want to ask a content creator something, tweet directly at them instead than by replying at one of their tweets in something off-topic since a lot of them don't like that. Also, even if you are legitimately grateful for something, try to avoid sounding excessively grateful or it could come off as being sarcastic. I know this isn't easy, I'm someone who has always had issue communicating certain things as well, but I'm sure with time you can get a better hang of it, as you already seem to be! It's been quite interesting to answer all these types of questions here as well, so as long as it's via Patreon feel free to ask away! 49) Training and continued usage, don't think there's much more to it. Would be great to see a moment where it just happens mid-fight or something though, where Luffy awakens it in a desperate situation 50) I think the 100k number at Fishman Island was Oda exaggerating a little, but I assume those fishmen were just normal people rallied by Hody and not experienced fighters. Every once of Kaido's soldiers is at least far more competent, so I don't expect them to really be comparable 51) Trust as in what? As people I don't know them personally to really say anything, as sources for information well yeah, they are official 52) Probably wrap up, with some symbolic talking on how Oden's wishes were carried on and Wano is healing, similar to the ending of Dressrosa 53) Well it depends, I feel Toei only pulls out all the stops for big fights, like Luffy vs Katakuri and Luffy vs Kaido. Those fights aside, the current anime looks stunning, as I'm certain it'll continue to be (can't wait for Oden's flashback!!), but for something to that degree we'll likely have to wait on another big fight
