Masira: ...yep, that sure scared me, I can tell you that... - Page 105 - Guys: GET OUTTA HERE!!! Masira: Aaaahh... - Page 106 - SBS Corner D: Hello. Here's my question, Oda-sensei. Among all your characters, which one do you think of as "most similar to yourself"? (I'm thinking I'm a lot like "Usopp"... personally.) O: Yesss... well. Clever mind. Relaxed personality. Those clothes... when you think about these things, there's really only one character to represent me. You know him. RED-HAIR SHANKS... oh! I can hear everyone cheering... Hahaha... Uh... ouch!! Please, stop throwing things at me!! It really hurts!! D: About the Alabastan Civil War. I know there were 300 thousand royal soldiers and 700 thousand rebels, but then in Volume 20, Chaka mentions "2 million angry warriors". Where did those extra 1.3 million guys come from? (I wonder if it was people who didn't go off to war, like Toto, but then decided to join in halfway) O: That's correct. Alabasta is a country with originally over 10 million citizens. To make things simpler to understand, I left out a bunch of things, but you know, there are lots of other towns and villages besides the ones mentioned. Maybe hearing "10 million" makes 2 million seem smaller, but that's still 2 million people uprising with weapons. It's a very serious situation. A major rebellion. D: Salutations, Oda Eiichirou-sama. Previously, I went on a homestay trip to England. I have something to report to you, Oda Eiichirou- sama. THE TOILET PAPER WAS BROWN!!! (and slighty orange-ish) O: FOR REALS?! Damn. Then you can't see the poop on it!! Is that because England is the country of tea?! They express things in terms of tea?! - Chapter 221 Owari -
