Straw Hat Pirates/Miscellaneous

Over the course of the manga, Eiichiro Oda was often asked certain questions about the Straw Hats via the SBS sections. These questions were often about subtle information such as what colors represent the Straw Hats and other similar topics. The following are Oda's answers to such questions.
==Miscellaneous Information==
===Animal Resemblances===
In an SBS question, a fan asked what animals would they best resemble. When this question was first asked, the Straw Hats had 6 members. At a later SBS, Oda provided the other animals for the remaining crew members. Chapter 651's color spread depicts each Straw Hat as an animal post-timeskip as well. Some of the crew's animals are changed, but some stay the same.
*Monkey D. Luffy: Monkey
*Roronoa Zoro: Shark; Tiger
*Nami: Cat
*Usopp: Armadillo; Chameleon
*Sanji: Duck; Bighorn Sheep
*Nefertari Vivi: Dove	
*Tony Tony Chopper: Reindeer; Red panda
*Nico Robin: Crane; Falcon
*Franky: Bull; Rhinoceros
*Brook: Horse; Giraffe
*Jinbe: Whale shark; Bear
===Specific Numbers===
In relation to an SBS question about a shirt Nami wore with the number 3 on it, Oda showed the specific numbers that he uses to represent the Straw Hats. The main numbers associated with the Straw Hats represent their order as a whole, starting with Luffy as 1 and following the sequence in which the others joined the crew. When this question was first asked, the Straw Hats only had 7 members. The numbers for Franky, Brook and Jinbe have been confirmed in later SBS.
A chapter title pattern has also numbered the Straw Hats by the order in which they were recruited by Luffy, thus excluding Luffy himself. The title of the chapter where a crewmate joins is the ordinal number one less than the personal number; for example, Zoro joins in Chapter 6, The First. However, not all Straw Hats have received a chapter title in his pattern when they first joined the crew. Nami and Usopp instead received their chapters upon reintegration into the crew, while Chopper, Robin and Jinbe have yet to receive such a chapter at all. Upon crew's reunion at Sabaody Archipelago, their order of arrival was noted by Shakuyaku and briefly used by Zoro as a type of designation.
Each of the crew Devil Fruit names can be associated with a pair of numbers using goroawase. The numbers 1 to 10 are represented, with the exception of 2 and 9. This has led to a reader asking Oda whether a 2-9 Devil Fruit user such as Bartholomew Kuma with his Nikyu Nikyu no Mi would join the crew; Oda dodged the question. In addition, other goroawase numbers are sometimes associated with the crew, such as those formed from their names.
Character 	Main	Recruitment	Sabaody	Devil Fruit 	Other Numbers
Monkey D. Luffy 	01 	 	Ninth 	5-6 (Go-mu) 	
Roronoa Zoro 	02 	First 	First 	 	
Nami 	03 	Second 	Third 	 	73 (Na-mi)
Usopp 	04 	Third 	Fourth 	 	
Sanji 	05 	Fourth 	Seventh	 	32 (San-ji); 59 (Ko-kku, or cook);
Nefertari Vivi 	5.5 	 	 	 	13
Tony Tony Chopper	06 	Fifth 	Fifth 	1-10 (Hi-to)	
Nico Robin 	07 	Sixth 	Eighth 	8-7 (Ha-na) 	26 (Nico-Robin)
Franky 	08 	Seventh 	Second 	 	
Brook 	09 	Eighth 	Sixth 	4-3 (Yo-mi) 	
Jinbe 	10 	Ninth 	 	 	
===Specific Colors===
In an SBS question, a fan asked if each of the Straw Hats have specific colors. Oda replied and revealed the specific colors for each member. When this question was first asked, the Straw Hats only had 7 members. At a later SBS, Oda provided the other colors for the remaining crew members. In the 17th opening, all the Straw Hats wear clothes with color schemes appropriate of their color. In the One Piece's 20th anniversary color spread, the Straw Hat Pirates are drawn in Germa 66 Raid Suit-like costumes under the name "Mugiwara 56", in their respective colors. Brook's color is listed as both white and black, but is often rendered as gray. In the anime, the colors were also used in most of the Straw Hats' disguises as members of the Beasts Pirates during the raid on Onigashima, with Nami being the exception.
*Monkey D. Luffy: 
*Roronoa Zoro: 
*Nami: 
*Usopp: 
*Sanji: 
*Nefertari Vivi:	
*Tony Tony Chopper: 
*Nico Robin: 
*Franky: 
*Brook: 
*Jinbe:
===Specific Smells===
In an SBS question, a fan asked Oda what the Straw Hats smelled like, since Chopper had such an amazing blue nose that allows him to identify his fellow crewmates. When this question was first asked, the Straw Hats only had 7 members. At a later SBS, Oda provided the other smells for the remaining crew members. All but Chopper's smell were identified as Chopper cannot tell what he himself smells like.
*Monkey D. Luffy: Smells like meat
*Roronoa Zoro: Smells like steel
*Nami: Smells like mikan and money
*Usopp: Smells like gunpowder
*Sanji: Smells like cigarettes and seafood

*Jinbe: Smells like sea
===Favorite Type of Island and Season===
In an SBS question, a fan asked which type of island each of the Straw Hats like among the different seasonal types of islands in the Grand Line. It was also asked which season of that island the Straw Hats like. When this question was first asked, the Straw Hats only had 7 members. At a later SBS, Oda provided the other islands and seasons for the remaining crew members.
*Monkey D. Luffy: Summer but considers snow to be great; ultimately anywhere where there's meat

It was later shown in Chapter 850, and confirmed in Chapter 854 that Sanji has a strong habit of making those food preferences, even without noticing. When asked about the bento in SBS Volume 86, Oda confirmed it and added Brook's favorite food, curry. Jinbe's favorite food was revealed in Vivre Card databook, and later in SBS Volume 99.

*Roronoa Zoro: First son

===Genderswapped===
In an SBS question, a fan asks what a genderswapped Straw Hat pirate crew would be like, looking at Emporio Ivankov's powers. Oda replies with drawings and quotes for each genderswapped Straw Hat, all except for Brook who is just a skeleton and is unable to show any visible change. Genderswapped Jinbe was shown in a different SBS along with the other Seven Warlords of the Sea.
[note: Except for Luffy (partly), Zoro, Sanji, and Jinbe, they all say their own catchphrases, but modified to be extremely feminine/masculine.]

Oda later reflected on his original answers in 2023 in an interview with Netflix:
Q: A lot of fans have questions about the ethnicity of these characters and now that we’re seeing them being portrayed by real actors, what do you want to tell them about where these characters are from?
A: “When I initially commented on the characters’ nationalities on SBS [...], it was in a very light-hearted way. I didn’t imagine it would influence the production team so much. But as they started showing me candidates based on my SBS responses, they actually felt right. I realized there was truth in my light-hearted answers.”
===Inner Brain===
In an SBS question, a fan asked Oda what he and the Straw Hats' inner brain looked like. As a reply, Oda wrote:
*Monkey D. Luffy: Meat, Meat, Meat, Meat, Pirate King
*Roronoa Zoro: Sword, Sword, Strength, Train, Sleep

*Franky: Weird, Weird, Weird, Dance, Iron
*Brook: Panties, Joke, Laugh, Tea, Tea
*Jinbe: Virtue, Virtue, Oni, Water, Fist
===Suited Flower===
In an SBS question, a fan asked Robin's voice actress, Yuriko Yamaguchi, what flower would suit each of the Straw Hats. When Oda was asked about the Worst Generation, he gave different answers for Luffy and Zoro.
*Monkey D. Luffy: Cosmos; Sunflower
*Roronoa Zoro: Thistle; Wisteria
*Nami: Sunflower
*Usopp: Daisy
*Sanji: Delphinium	
*Tony Tony Chopper: Tulip
*Nico Robin: Casablanca
*Franky: Anemone

===Blood Type===
In an SBS question, a fan asked Oda what the Straw Hats' blood types are. As a reply, Oda wrote:
*Monkey D. Luffy: F

*Sanji: S (RH-)
*Nefertari Vivi: F	
*Tony Tony Chopper: X
*Nico Robin: S

:Note-real world reference: In some countries they use the ABO naming system, which explains Crocus' blood type: X is equivalent to A; F is to B; S is to O; and XF is to AB.
:Note-RH factors: Sanji's RH- factor was stated by Chopper in Chapter 609. Given that fact it would be logical for Usopp and Robin to have RH+ factor, since they were unable to donate blood. Luffy and Jinbe were stated to have an F blood type in Chapter 648, no RH factor was stated.

#Nico Robin
#Brook
#Usopp
#Monkey D. Luffy
#Tony Tony Chopper
==Autographs==
Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, Robin, and Franky all have their own autographs, which they gave to Bartolomeo on his request. Usopp gave Chopper an autograph as his alter ego "Sogeking", which Chopper now hangs in the Thousand Sunny infirmary. The remaining Straw Hat Pirates' autographs were revealed in Volume 333.
*Luffy's autograph says "Me".
*Zoro's autograph says "Sword".
*Nami's autograph says her name and shows her tattoo.
*Usopp's autograph shows a drawing of his silhouette, and include a dedication which says his and the recipient's name.
**Sogeking's autograph says his and the recipient's name.
*Sanji's autograph says his name. The "J" is styled similar to his eyebrow, and the "I" is dotted with a kiss.	
*Chopper's autograph shows his calf print.
*Robin's autograph shows a unique drawing, and says her name.
*Franky's autograph has a dedication and his name under his signature star.
*Brook's autograph, says his name and epithet and have a drawing of his face over staff. The "O's" double as Brook's eyes, and the "K" double as a music note.
==Early Concepts==
In One Piece Green: Secret Pieces, an early concept of the crew was revealed. No changes in particular are seen in Luffy, Zoro and Nami aside from a few small ones, such as Zoro carrying a bottle of sake on his waist, wearing a dark shirt rather than a white one, and Nami's skirt being a little wavy rather than having straight cuts.
*Sanji was supposed to have a somewhat thicker goatee from the beginning.
*Usopp was supposed to be a vice captain/sniper that resembled his father more.
*Chopper was supposed to be more of a "realistic-looking reindeer".
*Robin replaced a man that was supposed to be more of a plant lover than a history lover. His characteristic as a botanist is transferred to the post-timeskip Usopp.
*Franky replaced the original carpenter of shorter stature.
*Brook was also supposed to have a Cavalier hat like Yorki, instead of his trademark afro.
However, it was later revealed in the tenth volume of One Piece Magazine that version published in Green had been edited to erase a tenth figure. This was the helmsman of the crew, an earlier version of Jinbe.
==Translation and Dub Issues==
The name of the Straw Hat Pirates has been romanized in two notable ways over the course of the series: "Mugiwara Pirates" (examples include chapters 357, 377, 756, and 872 covers, as well as Chapter 1089) and "Straw Hat Crew" (volume character introductions, volumes 60-86 and 108).
However, to be consistent with other pirate crews, the wiki has translated the crew's name as "Straw Hat Pirates".
==Trivia==
*When Luffy first left his village he mentioned that he would be satisfied with a pirate crew of about ten crew members.
*The Straw Hats are the only known pirate crew where each current member has a bounty on their head.
*The Straw Hats are the only known pirate crew where all members, under the captain, are classified as an officer.
*In SBS Volume 51, Oda said that the Yojijukugo (a Japanese idiom spelled with four kanji) which would best represent the crew is .
*Each of the crew members have lost someone whom they loved:
**Luffy lost his sworn older brothers, Sabo and Ace, until he learned Sabo was alive upon meeting him again.
**Zoro lost his biological parents, Arashi and Tera, and later his rival and best friend, Kuina.
**Nami lost her adoptive mother, Bell-mère.
**Usopp lost his biological mother, Banchina.
**Sanji lost his biological mother, Sora, and later his fellow chefs from the restaurant he worked at.
**Vivi lost her biological parents, Titi and Cobra.
**Chopper lost his first mentor and father figure, Hiriluk.
**Robin lost her mother, Olvia, her civilization, and her friend who she thought to be dead, Saul.
**Franky lost his mentor, Tom.
**Brook lost his captain, Yorki and later his entire crew.
**Jinbe lost his captain, brother, and friend Fisher Tiger and then lost his country's queen, Otohime.
*Members of the crew often have a chapter titled after the order they joined Luffy.
**Usopp and Franky shared a chapter title when rejoining the crew.
**Vivi, Chopper, Robin, and Jinbe are exceptions to that pattern.
*In the anime since the Post-War Arc, Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Robin's olive skin were all changed to light skin (in Robin's case to very light skin, similar to Nami's and Sanji's) to match them as they are colored in the manga.
*Zoro, Usopp, Sanji and Vivi are the only Straw Hats who have both of their parents named.
**The four characters in question all have deceased mothers.
*Brook and Jinbe are the only Straw Hats not shown with any form of family or parental figure.
*Zoro is the only Straw Hat to be named after a real-life pirate.
*Two of the Straw Hats are former captains: Brook was the captain of the Rumbar Pirates, and Jinbe was the captain of the Sun Pirates. They were both the crews' second captains. The number ascends to three if Usopp's Usopp Pirates are counted as a real crew.
*Robin has the highest starting bounty of 79,000,000, but it was assigned to her before joining the crew.
**Sanji has the highest starting bounty as a member of the Straw Hat Pirates with 77,000,000.
**Jinbe has the highest bounty when joining the Straw Hats with 438,000,000.
**Chopper has the lowest starting bounty with 50.
*According to information revealed in the ninth booster pack of Vivre Card databook about the snow figures built by Luffy and Usopp in Chapter 106, it is possible to conclude that the Straw Hats crossed Reverse Mountain in mid-February. 
**Additionally, the Thousand Sunny is revealed to have been finished at March 25th, meaning about a month had passed between the Reverse Mountain Arc and the Post-Enies Lobby Arc.
*Given the estimations that the time of their journey is about 3 to 6 months, the Straw Hat Pirates spent more time separated than together (about four times longer). Their time separated increases even more if their time together only counts when all current members are present at the same time.
*In SBS Volume 99, Oda reveals that Usopp, Sanji, and Robin are the ones who provide haircuts to the other crewmembers.
*Zoro, Sanji, and Jinbe, the three top fighters of the crew, share a theme of being 'children' of earth surfaces:
**Zoro's mother is named Tera, with Terra being the Latin word for earth.
**Sanji's mother is named Sora, with Sora being the Japanese name for sky.
**Jinbe's epithet is "First Son of the Sea".
===Cultural References===
