Echiiro Oda, author of the manga One Piece, put the following spread in the October 2001 issue of Monthly Shonen Jump:
View attachment 1588103
He included the following message:

“There are adults who kill other people for justice. There are children who see that. One Piece will continue on for quite some time... all the while hoping for world peace."

I still don’t know what the fuck this spread has to do with 9/11, but it’s a nice sentiment.
Simple: Oda realizes kids will have to ask questions about people who might hate them and want them dead, and he wants One Piece to be a means to escape from the hellscape that is our world, even if it’s for a little bit.
