Oda decided to work with ONE PIECE Film because it was a good opportunity to increase his audience in manga. The series is more than 80 volumes, so he thinks it might be difficult for some people to start reading ONE PIECE. Oda also says that if he should realize in the future that ONE PIECE Film doesn't play an important role to increase his audience in manga, he would not work with films anymore.
According to the former anime producer, when ONE PIECE anime was relegated to a morning TV show, Oda complained a bit, "I've already made much effort, though..."
About this week's (Chapter 833) color spread, Oda predicted last December that he would like to draw Straw Hats watching fireworks since he was impressed at the fireworks in one of his favorite mangas "Your Lie in April".

Oda doesn't want his characters to appear in film before manga. For example, Aokiji after time skip made an appearance in the film before manga. Oda is disappointed with those situations since he thinks he could have surprised his audience if he let him appear in manga before the film.
