Eiichiro Oda
My old short story "Monsters" has been made into a voice comic on YouTube. Please watch it!
(From Weekly Shonen Jump No. 2021.39, Table of Contents Comment)

Yoshimasa Hosoya as Ryuma
This may be a personal story, but I think that continuing to do one thing becomes more difficult the older you get. I think that it becomes more and more difficult as we get older.
It is really a difficult task to maintain the quality that is loved by many people, to maintain motivation, and to continue doing it for a long time without running out of ideas.
If there are 100 volumes of comics, how many years do you think it takes to serialize a work? I wondered.
When I think about it again, I am in awe of how amazing it is.
Almost everyone knows "ONE PIECE" as a matter of course... I think it is a great work.

■Maaya Sakamoto as Flare
I wonder how it feels to fight against deadlines for an unimaginably long period of time...!
I think that being a manga artist is a really tough job, and you have to keep meeting the readers' expectations and keep challenging yourself with new things....
When I think about that, I feel like applauding your entire journey to this point.
I am sure it is still an endless journey.
I am sure it is a never-ending journey, and I will continue to support you as you continue to create what you want to depict.

Hochu Otsuka as Cyrano/Dragon
Congratulations on the release of the 100th volume of comics.
I believe "ONE PIECE" is Japanese culture and a world treasure.
I sincerely hope that the Oda World will continue for many years to come.

Sadajo Matsuoka, who plays the role of D.R.
First of all, congratulations on the release of the 100th volume. 100 volumes is the fruit of extraordinary efforts.
I think 100 volumes is the fruit of extraordinary efforts.
I have been reading the comics for a long time, and when I read them, they really move my soul, and every story often makes me cry.
No matter how many times I read it, I still cry, and Luffy is just too cool!
I think it's really cool when Luffy gets pissed off.
One Piece" has been serialized since I was a child, and when I first read it, I thought that the story would end when we crossed the "Grand Line. But in fact, the story has developed further, and I think it's wonderful that it has continued this long.
I am sure that readers are waiting to see what happens next, and I hope that Mr. Oda will take good care of himself and continue to draw.

Takuatsu Terashima as Master
I have been reading "ONE PIECE" since its serialization began, and while I always felt that it was an epic adventure story, I honestly never thought that it would continue to 100 volumes!
I think it is truly amazing.
The number "100" seems like a big milestone to us, but to "ONE PIECE" it is just a passing point, and I think again that the "Grand Line" is amazing (laughs).
The direction "Eternal Pose" points to is really "Eternal.
I wonder how far the adventure will go....
I am sure that people not only in Japan but also all over the world are looking forward to seeing where the adventure will take them.
I often wonder what the "Greatest Treasure of One Piece" is.
I would like to continue to watch over the people surrounding Luffy and his friends as readers, just like Coby, who has appeared in the series since the beginning, watches over Luffy and his friends as they increase their prize money and make a name for themselves.
Congratulations on the 100th volume. I will be rooting for everyone's future success.
