Throughout One Piece, there have been various arcs. The creator of the manga, Eiichiro Oda, had particular concerns about one storyline. He feared that his daughters would think he was a pervert. One of his two daughters ultimately made this fear come true.
Which arc are we talking about? Luffy finds himself on Amazon Lily during his journey. This island is inhabited only by women of the Amazon tribe. Their leader is Boa Hancock, one of the most popular female characters in the anime. She is considered one of the most beautiful women in the series and openly demonstrates that.
Many of the women on Amazon Lily, especially Boa Hancock, have large breasts. Since Oda has two daughters himself, he became worried that they might think he was a pervert because of Amazon Lily.
The X user sandman_AP has found an interview from 2019 where Oda expresses his concerns:
Even the women outside Amazon Lily often have large breasts. The Straw Hat crew was not spared from this breast growth either: Nami’s waist suddenly became slimmer after the time skip, and her bust increased in size. It’s no wonder then that Oda’s daughters’ reactions did not take long to appear.
The favorite character of the daughter comes from Amazon Lily
How did his daughters react? One day, one of his daughters asked Oda if he really liked breasts. His worst fear came true. The mangaka revealed that he could no longer play the proud father when standing in front of his daughters after that question. He added that he had nothing left to lose (via X).
The ironic part: His daughter’s favorite character is Boa Hancock. She even took a Hancock figure to the hospital and learned to prepare meat through it.
The Japanese interview with Oda can be found on reddit:
Oda’s favorite dish is everything that involves meat. By preparing delicious meals with meat, she probably wanted to please her father. Boa Hancock is in love with Luffy in the anime, who is also a big fan of meat. Through her, the daughter was likely motivated enough to learn to cook meat dishes.
What do the daughters think of One Piece? The story shows that at least one of the two daughters is interested in her father’s anime. Oda mentioned in a 2018 interview with the mangaka of My Hero Academia (via edomonogatari) that one of his daughters was worried about the success of One Piece.
During a school trip, the children supposedly heard a song from My Hero Academia, which concerned the daughter that her father’s manga might suffer in success because of it. Oda’s children still stand behind him and his work, even if they might think of him as a pervert.
