Regarding the Supernova


I was browsing the web when I came across this interview on another forum. The context here is a discussion between three of Oda's former personal editors.

Translation:
Kawashima: During the W7 arc, after they parted with Merry, I was assigned to One Piece from the chapter where Garp shows up. That chapter happened to be ranked number 1 in the weekly poll with a massive margin over other manga, and that's when I realized how awesome this series was.
Onishi: I started from the chapter where Kid, Law, and other Supernova Rookies showed up. But they weren't originally planned.
Watanabe: What!? Really!?
Onishi: It was already decided that the crew will be separated at Shabondy Arpilago, but we figured that may not be enough to spice things up. That's when Mr. Oda asked "Would it be more interesting if a bunch of new characters showed up?" Then less than 3 hours after that, he not only finished the designs of all of them, but had the fixed name ("name" is manga term for rough draft of the chapter) with all of them already drawn in.

Oda is a f*cking amazing; inventing some of the most interesting characters in the series on whim in less than 3 hours!!! Now thats dedication to a series and a job!! [ People, Law and Kid wouldn't have existed!!!! ]

It would of been boring...

Good thing he made others, but Crocodile hinted that their were other rookies like Luffy.

Now seeing them, I think they were will written character.

Kidd seems like the biggest threat, but no one seems to know it

I'm just messin man Lol But Law solos
Law solos U_U​

Yes ZeroPro, that's the way (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

OT: Is it strange that this actually makes me like Law a lot more? And much credit to Oda, creating great characters like Law and the other Supernova on a whim. He really amazes me as a mangaka

No he found the time to draw another one, it's weekly and has 25 pages per chapter ;)

OT (kinda): Uchiha Usman what's your OPB name? And as I said on OPB, something about most of them just doesn't feel Oda-ish or One Piece-ish

Wow he did... Kishi takes about 90min to complete a page I wonder how fast Oda is... he suggested that when he already drew them because I remember there was a 3 week break in manga before the Sabaody arc...

If thats true then, then this could be true! Well not the less than 3 hours part but introducing these characters and drawing them up in the 3 week break before shabondy ? ( i wouldnt know, i re-started op in late 2011 )

Only Goda is able to create a solo king such as Law in a whim.
