A story on a weekly basis slowly develops. Even if the authors have in mind a more or less detailed plan for the sequel, the characters then follow their path and sometimes turn the tables, forcing them to take more time and add many other things. and Eiichiro Oda from ONE PIECE knows that too.
The Mangaka of the Weekly Shonen Jump Records manga is known to have inserted characters and events not originally planned in ONE PIECE, forcing him to lengthen the story tremendously over time. What are the details of ONE PIECE that Oda didn’t anticipate in the beginning? Here is a list that collects some statements:
- Initially, Vivi was not a princess;
- Shanks was not to appear during the Marineford War;
- He didn’t think about making Roger Ace a father;
- Rob Lucci wasn’t meant to be a villain;
- Drum Mountain shouldn’t be shaped like a cherry tree;
- Doflamingo and Corazon, who were related;
- The appearance of the Shichibukai in the manga, since ONE PIECE was originally only intended to tell the story of Luffy versus the Four Emperors;
- Of the supernovae that survived in the New World, the mangaka was convinced that half of them would die instantly;
- Law, who becomes an important figure. However, according to Oda, Kidd had to be very important right away;
- The editor of ONE PIECE opposed Ace’s death at Marineford;
- Oda introduced Kuma to Bartholomew, who knew he would be the one to separate the Straw Hat Pirates, a day.
That of the Shichibukai is certainly the most well-known, while other small details would have changed the story of ONE PIECE forever. But now it’s time for Luffy to face Kaido and the other Yonkos.
