In the world of One Piece, powers vary from basic Logia abilities such as lightning and fire to transformative Zoan types that encompass common animals, legendary dragons, and phoenixes – almost every devil fruit power you can think of is present. The vast array of options makes it challenging to pick just one, yet fans often ponder what power they’d want. Even the series creator, Eiichiro Oda, has considered his preferred devil fruit ability, which aligns perfectly with his personality and sense of humor.
In the SBS segment of Volume 111, someone asked Oda which two Devil Fruits he’d choose if given a chance. Without a moment’s pause, Oda selected the highly desirable Clear Clear Fruit first, and then the Warp Warp Fruit belonging to Van Augur, following a brief contemplation. The combination of these two fruits is rather obvious, considering Sanji’s running joke about wanting invisibility to sneak peeks at women in bathhouses. To heighten the humor, Oda attempted to justify his choice by claiming he would use these two Devil Fruits to save people. In the SBS, Oda’s exact words were:
Oh, it seems like you’re choosing two fruits! One is definitely the Star Star Fruit (unequivocally), and another… let me see, the other one is also the Star Star Fruit (unequivocally). Now, I have a hunch about the third one, it’s the Warp Warp Fruit (decisive choice)! This combination will grant me the power to save people (compassionate intention)!
Eiichiro Oda’s Devil Fruit Choice Proves Sanji Is His Self-Insert
In Chapter 464, fans might recall that Sanji disclosed an additional lifelong ambition: apart from seeking the All Blue, he aspired to transform into an invisible person. Generally, Sanji has shown little interest in devil fruit powers throughout One Piece, but this was the one exception – his desire to consume the Clear Clear Fruit.
In a disappointing turn of events, Absalom’s consumption of the Clear Clear Fruit shattered Sanji’s hopes, resulting in an amusing grudge that persisted throughout their fight on Thriller Bark. Similar to Eiichiro Oda in the recent SBS, Sanji publicly declares his desire for power to serve noble purposes like helping others or saving lives. However, it’s obvious as daylight that Sanji’s genuine intention is to satisfy his own desires, such as spying on women, as shown by his Freudian slip. Just like his notorious reputation suggests, it was revealed that the real reason behind Sanji’s pursuit of power was to catch a glimpse of women in bathhouses or changing rooms.
One Piece Creator’s SBS Answers Have Always Poked Fun at His Perverted Side
In the SBS of One Piece Volume 111, Oda’s reply not only echoes back to this particular instance, but it also underscores that Sanji is strikingly reminiscent of Oda himself, including his more suggestive traits. It appears as though Oda holds a special affection for Luffy, but Sanji seems to embody Oda’s own character, acting as a vessel for his humorously lewd qualities, which have been evident since the beginning of One Piece. Delve into the SBS of Volume 32, where Oda was queried about why Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp peeked at Nami and Vivi during the bath scene in Chapter 213. Oda’s response to this question hinted that he himself partook in the mischief: “I did it too.
You wonder why? It’s simply because they are all healthy boys. Oda explained on SBS, and he believes there’s no need for another reason, but Chopper might have joined in only because the others did. To be indifferent to a beautiful girl when she’s undressed is disrespectful in Sanji’s eyes, though I should clarify that I mean this in the context of the story.
It’s clear that some fans might find this surprising or uncomfortable, but at the end of the day, Oda is known for having a playful, humorous approach to suggestive themes. For instance, his recent SBS interactions have been quite amusing due to his attempts at subtlety. However, despite occasional criticisms about the female character designs, excessive fan service, and Sanji’s portrayal as an overtly perverted character, these elements are directly influenced by Oda, suggesting that neither he nor One Piece will be shifting away from this style anytime soon.
