ONE PIECE 109

I'm curious how the author plans to keep the story fresh and exciting after so many adventures. Was this direction always in mind or did it evolve during the writing process?

The interactions felt genuine and heartfelt, especially during the moments of loyalty and friendship. How do you think the author balances action with character relationships so well?

The variety of islands and cultures feels rich without being overwhelming. I wonder if there's a behind-the-scenes map or lore guide that he uses during creation.
