Every illustration by Oda for One Piece Magazine's fan-request section, "The Drawing Of Your Dreams!"
Most of these are what-if scenarios. Yamato as an oiran is stunning but my favorite has to be Croc and Doffy starting a clothing brand together (oda comments that it would be evil and expensive)
These are all super high quality because they're scans straight from the magazines, courtesy of @xbloodywhalex's google drive. Below is the making-of process of the illustrations, the requests themselves, and more comments from Oda ↓
These are my very rough translations that I either found online or ran through google translate and tried to make sense of lol. Tell me if the translation is off, I'll fix it!
Magazine Vol 4 Request: Katakuri and Captain Luffy meet again at a certain place! They have merienda together
Magazine Vol 5 Request: I would like Oda to draw an illustration of Ace, Sabo and Luffy joining the marines and being trained under Garp
Magazine Vol 6 Request: Zoro ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi, but he has trouble controlling his power, which Rayleigh finds amusing.
Oda's comment: Zoro has the gum-gum ability! I wanted to draw this in a funny way, but when I actually drew it, instead of the comical scene requested, I drew Zoro using it without a problem, now no one’s able to laugh at him. I think this is fine!!
Magazine Vol 7 Request: if Crocodile were to join forces with Doflamingo... ~entering the fashion industry~
(note: I didn't add the tilde, it was in the request!)
Oda's comment: Certainly, these two are stylish. It's not just evil, it's super evil. C & F. I guess it's expensive.
Magazine Vol 8 Request: Chopper and Hiriluk cherry blossom-viewing eating pickled radish
Comment: I have decided that this corner will never be used in the main story of the manga! I have been playing with digital, and now I really want to draw pictures without lines. I had a perfect request: a heartwarming cherry blossom viewing experience!
Magazine Vol 9 Request: Ace and Sabo's version of Wano country!
Comment: I'm in a kimono mood right now! I was thinking about drawing Wano country versions of various characters in color for this magazine, but it would be extremely difficult to hand-draw kimono patterns, so I didn't have the time. Look at Ace and Sabo!
Magazine Vol 10 Request: If Vivi were a Japanese warlord from the Sengoku period
Comment: If Vivi was a Sengoku warlord...!? Interesting! I want to draw it!! I'll include Karoo too!! I'm sure the samurai would risk their lives for this!!
Magazine Vol 11 Request: What if... Hancock, user of the Goro Goro no Mi, used X Million Volts: Beautiful Power on Luffy, who's immune to lightning?
Oda's comment: In this scenario, Hancock has become an undefeatable queen. Because her lightning is simply too powerful, no one dares approach her. But then, one day, before her appeared..!! You know, no matter what the scenario is, Hancock ends up falling for Luffy anyway.
Magazine Vol 13 Request: What if... Nami was a Three Sword Style swordswoman?
[I haven't found a making-of yet]
Magazine Vol 14 Request: What if Luffy had the power of the Fude Fude no Mi?
Magazine Vol 16 Request: What if Yamato was Wano Country's best oiran?

Today's FoNC issue is the last one this year and a bit unusual. It's basically a giveaway. New year is coming soon, isn't it? So I went out onto the NC streets and met these happy and unharmed chooms (it's my pony world, remember? No one dies here). Now imagine that I sent you these polaroid photos/postcards/whatever you wanna call it by mail. Let's start!

If I missed someone or didn't tag you but you want to get your own card - just poke me. See ya in 2024!

Learning that apparently people hate Reed is so wild to me
He reminds me a lot of Goro, in a way? Surface level reading here; they're both corporate tools who uses V as an asset to get what they want, what they need (the relic for Goro, So Mi for Reed) to appease whoever is holding their leash, they both live for their ""boss"" (Arasaka for Goro, Government for Reed) that's their whole purpose
Reed strikes me more of a lone-wolf, he has more "freedom" than Goro (who rushes back to Hanako as soon as V saves him from death after the parade, rushes back to his cyberware and to his ""home"")
They're great characters, their writings is amazing- they show a lot of nuance and humanity when you dig pass their blind automatic loyalty and cold armor
Knowing how overwhelmingly loved Goro is, I always assumed it was the same for Reed, because again, to me, they're really similar (and yet so different) but can't say I'm surprised gfhhgf
