D: How old is Corazon? Why wasnt Sugar there at the Donquixote family dinner party?

O: He's 2 years younger than Doflamingo, died at the age of 26. Monet(17) and Sugar(9) are sisters saved by Doflamingo from terrible environment. They joined the family after that incident, were later given the DFs, and had the resolve to give up their lives for the family. Doflamingo did pay great attention to the environment people were living in.
This gives me hope that we will learn more about Monet, she is one of my favourite female characters even with the little panel time.










Here are the rest of the SBS translations. I'd link the post but I'm not sure if that is allowed

Full translation by myself: (forgive me if there's any typos...)

Inside cover:

If add some sort of cyclone equipment on figure skaters or ballet dancers when they spin, they'll either fly or drill into the ground. And if they have them in their asses, they can do high-speed spins, but that thing will drop out. By doing so, it will solve the constipation problem. Therefore, the cyclone-like vol.77! Guru-guru spinning start!

D: SBS sta... Forget it...

O: You sure...? Alright, SBS starts. Have a look at this, this a drawing of Smoker in vol.23 Usopp Gallery by a reader, it's 10 years ago! And the artist of that is the amazing mangaka of a popular Jump series 'Boku no Hero Academia', himself came and told me that at new-year Jump event. You shoulve've let me know earlier, I'll cheer for you.

D: Oda-sensei ate the Ero Ero no Mi, is that why you draw Nami's and Robin's breasts that big? Please make my mother's and sister's breasts bigger. Also my penis... (Pen-name: Idle Idle no Mi user, 8 years old...)

O: I once did eat a distasteful fruit among other desserts. And ever since, I've become like this... Oy, what's this! How rude! I sincerely hope that everything of your family members will be bigger than their bodies. (lol)

D: Oda-chi, there's a panel in ch.754, Kinemon and Kanjuro's conversation (Kanjuro asks Kinemon if he wants to eat the lettuce and Kinemon replys it will hurt his bowel) is a reference to Rakugo right? (Rakugo is a form of Japanese verbal entertainment.)

O: Yeah, including the sparrow drawn by Kanjuro, they're funny puns. (Then Oda named a lot of Rakugo performers...) It's very interesting, but I guess no one likes it. (cry)

D: Isnt the scar on Sabo's face from a battle with me?

O: No.

D: Question, the Corazon logo on the back of Law's coat, doesnt it mean the Cora-san that Law likes the most? And is that coat specially customized for Law?

O: Yes. (And Oda explains the obvious that you all know.)

D: Is Rocinante's name from Cervantes's novel? It's the name of protagonist's horse.

O: Don Quixote, right? A funny chivalry story as irony and satire to the society. Let me annotate it in detail! I named him randomly. (lol)

D: Will Gladius's penis inflate?

O: Yes, terrifying. (lol)

D: How old is Corazon? Why wasnt Sugar there at the Donquixote family dinner party?

O: He's 2 years younger than Doflamingo, died at the age of 26. Monet(17) and Sugar(9) are sisters saved by Doflamingo from terrible environment. They joined the family after that incident, were later given the DFs, and had the resolve to give up their lives for the family. Doflamingo did pay great attention to the environment people were living in.

D: Oda-chi, I did palmistry for Luffy, and he's got the 'world-conquering' one cos it has the so-called 'masukake line', linking the lines of wisdom and affection together. Oda's a genius who thought of this kind of thing when designing a character, it also explains why Luffy has CoC.

O: That... that's right! A person like me, who wouldve... thought of that... from the start. Luffy must have a hand like that. 'masu...masukake line' right? Glad you noticed that! (lol)

D: Oda-chan, after one bite of the DF and someone else eats the rest, will he be a DF user as well? Please tell me!

O: No. The moment of one (first) bite, DF ability will only be possessed by that (and only) person who bit it. DFs are merely distasteful fruits after that, but people arent aware of that, so they usually finish it all.

D: Please tell me the heights and ages of Sabo, Koala and Haku and what type of fishman Haku is. BTW, is Haku's birthday Aug.9 alright? (Oda: alright.)

O: Sabo, 187cm, 22; Koala, 160cm, 23; Haku, 280cm, 38. Haku is (uhh...) Japanese soldierfish (Ostichthys japonicus).

D: Congratulations to Sai and Baby5 for their marriage. Just wondering what kind of woman is Sai's fiance, Uhorisia?

O: I heard that she has pretty hair and canthus.

D: Hi, Oda-san. One question about Bartolomeo, you said his barrier has limit, so what's the max bari bari?

O: Good question. The area and number of the barrier he can release at one time is limited, the max area of one barrier is 50k bari bari, isnt it awesome? And 1 bari bari is 100 times 1 pori bari bari, meanging its defense is 500 tsuke mono pori pori bari bari. (nonsense talking from Oda... lol)

D: In ch.765, the island where Corazon and Law were on seems like Noland's homeland, Lvneel Kingdom. Does that mean Corazon brought Law there with the intention of overcoming the amber Lead poisoning by going to a country that had a similar illness (tree fever) and overcome it? I cant help crying just thinking that, please give me a napkin.

O: Right, it's indeed. Scenery has been kept well there. Didnt know one can think like that, I start crying, too. Corazon is really a good guy. (cry)

D: Corazon's birthday is July.15! (the pronunciation of 'silent Corazon' is similar to that date.)

O: Is that so? Okay, seems so. Then that's it, SBS ends here. Make sure have a go to the Tokyo One Piece Tower! See you in next volume!

I thought we were going to get a serious answer to Barto's barrier limit for a sec XD
He does the same thing with how far Luffy can stretch.

He really is Lol He's always goofy in his SBS's, I enjoy reading them cause Oda is just as entertaining there as he is with his manga
Surprised that the questions are so perverted since kids read this manga :|

I thought sugar was much older than that.
Thats what i thought too, according to sbs 75 she is 22. Monet according to the wiki is 30. So it seems 13 years have passed since doffy picked them up. i think oda was implying this was their age in the past.

Is Boku no hero that good as a manga?
Depends on what you would consider good. Realistically it's nothing really that special, but it's an almost traditional type of Shonen Jump manga and you know then that it works. It more or less belongs in the same kind of genres as OP, FT and Naruto and you can really sense that it might become one of the most popular series in the near future just because.

There's one-page comic circulating on the net where you can see Goku, Naruto, Ichigo and Luffy. They have a picture of Ichigo, Naruto and Luffy as children with an adult Goku and they have the exact same pose as Team 7 and Kakashi on that one picture they have of their team. Then you see Naruto, Ichigo and Luffy all grown up talking to each other and to the main character of Boku no Hero Academia, who is still a child. I even think Luffy gave his hat to him the the same way how Shanks gave it to him, though not sure about the latter.

Anyway that point is that this comic quite accurately gives away the situation. It's still a very young series, but it's gaining rapidly popularity by simply using the traditional Shonen Jump formula. No doubt many people will eventually start screaming it's a childish, stupid unoriginal manga, but in the end you can be almost certain it will become one of SJ's leading series.

That its creator is a OP fan and sent in an artwork 10 years ago that got featured, pretty much says it all. That it might potentially be Naruto's 'successor' isn't that much of a far-fetched idea.

I wonder why monet and sugar's connection was never revealed in the manga. Oda could atleast have monet said something about it when talking to doffy on the den den mushi at punk hazard. Makes me wonder if he didnt just come up with it on the spot. Thanks for sharing though. Liked :)
