The One Piece Volume 113 SBS was released earlier than expected, dropping in late October 2024 instead of November — and it did not disappoint.

Eiichiro Oda’s iconic Q&A section once again delivers surprising truths, playful misdirection, and major lore expansions that fans are still unpacking.

From the shocking confirmation of Queen being Franky’s father to new insights about the Celestial Dragons’ lineage, Oda continues to blur the line between humor and revelation. Let’s break down everything revealed in this explosive SBS.

Queen Confirmed as Franky’s Father

For years, fans speculated that Queen of the Beasts Pirates might be Franky’s long-lost father.

In the latest SBS, Oda all but confirmed it when a fan directly asked about the connection.

He jokingly admitted that Queen’s Vivre Card mentions he had a child in the same year Tom adopted Franky.

The timeline fits perfectly — Queen abandoned his child the same year Franky was taken in by Tom. Oda’s “nervous” response was enough for the fandom to take it as confirmation: Queen is Franky’s father.

Rosward’s Full Name and Celestial Dragon Lineage

In another revelation, Oda clarified that Saint Rosward’s full name is Rosward Rosward.

It’s a comedic yet telling detail that confirms the Celestial Dragon naming structure — and narrows down the 20 original families who became the World Nobles.

Now, only about six or seven Celestial Dragon family names remain unknown, setting the stage for possible future reveals about their origins and power dynamics.

Two Calendar Systems in the One Piece World

Oda also explained the dual calendar systems — Kaien-Reki (Age of the Sea Circle) and Ten-Reki (Age of Heaven).

According to him, the current year is 4141 in the Age of Heaven and 1541 in the Age of the Sea Circle.

Both systems are still used across the world, representing the cultural divide between nations and regions.

Vegapunk’s Desire and the “Celestial Dragon Within”

A deep philosophical moment came when a reader asked whether Vegapunk’s York satellite wanting to become a Celestial Dragon reflects Vegapunk’s own inner desire for power.

Oda responded that perhaps “everyone has a little Celestial Dragon inside them” — a metaphor for human ambition and moral contradiction.

This commentary adds yet another layer to Vegapunk’s complex characterization as science, ethics, and human nature collide.

Cover Story Characters Can Return to Canon

Oda also debunked a long-standing fan myth — that characters from cover stories never return in the main narrative. He listed multiple examples who did, including Buggy, Django, Wapol, CP9, Jinbe, and even Yamato, teasing that the latter will “definitely appear again.”

He also mentioned working on a collection titled “Doors”, which will compile all cover stories in one volume.

Wano Country’s New Government Structure

Post-Kaido, Wano has officially reorganized under Shogun Momonosuke. Despite his eight-year-old mindset, Momo rules the country with help from the Nine Red Scabbards, each now overseeing a different region:

Denjiro in Kibi
Inuarashi in Kuri
Raizo in Udon
Kawamatsu in Hakumai
Kikunojo in Ringo

Meanwhile, places like Okobore Town, the prisoner mines, and Onigashima have been dismantled — symbolizing Wano’s long-awaited rebirth.

Other Fun Facts and Future Hints

Oda revealed that the mysterious man from Chapter 631’s cover was actually Scopper Gaban, not Shiki as many theorized. He also hinted that Vivi’s fate may diverge depending on her choices, and encouraged readers to “keep an eye on Bonney,” whose child form may hold critical narrative importance.

Conclusion

The One Piece Volume 113 SBS perfectly balances humor, hidden details, and crucial lore — offering fans new connections as the manga sails toward its final saga. Whether it’s the confirmation of Franky’s lineage, Vegapunk’s moral insight, or Wano’s political renewal, Oda proves once again that even in a casual Q&A, he’s a master storyteller
