One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda has compared the visuals in the upcoming One Piece Odyssey video game to that of one of the animated movies. One Piece Odyssey is an upcoming JRPG with a story that was created by Oda, which follows the Straw Hat Pirates on an adventure to a mysterious island.

Oda created the One Piece manga as a weekly series for decades, which is a difficult schedule to manage. It's only in the past few years that he has started to relax the schedule, taking at least one week off every month.

Oda was especially involved with One Piece Film: Strong World, as he wrote the script, and created a prequel chapter in the manga that lead to its events.
