ماساشي كيشيموتو
Oda referred to Masashi Kishimoto as both a friend and a rival. For the title page illustration of "One Piece" chapter 766, which ran in 2014's 50th issue of "Weekly Shōnen Jump "alongside the final two chapters of Kishimoto's "Naruto", Oda included a hidden message and other tributes in the art. Kishimoto himself also made a tribute in the ending of "Naruto" where the character Boruto Uzumaki makes a drawing of the Straw Hat Jolly Roger on a mountain.
