Color Walk 6: Gorilla

''Oda: I've heard that those characters in the manga are like one's own children, as being a mangaka, I think, would it be that serious? However, very often when I hear people grumble about the characters, to be honest, I'll be angry. Even if that character is a villain. Like when people say 'this guy is so weak' (rio: U-so-pp? LOL). Then I'll let him get stronger!! I've once had this kind of feeling. As for those unpopular characters, I'm struggling to show their charm to the readers. Fortunately, these characters are becoming more lively as readers' interaction with me getting along. So if they're 'children', I think, they're not only ONE's own children. Thanks for everyone's support as always.''
