Eiichiro Oda draws Zoro and Luffy in their 40s and 60s

One Piece Banner For Article

Every single one piece fan at some stage thought for sure how their favorite characters would look like in their 40s and 60s. Well, the wait is over, Oda shows us how two of the beloved characters of one piece, i.e. Zoro & Luffy would look at 40 years and 60 years.

On June 2018, Oda photographed Luffy characteristics at the time of 40s and 60s when a One Piece fan asked a question about Luffy.
Odacchi, hello! I am a big fan of both Odacchi and Luffy. I have a question today for Odacchi! When he was a kid, Monkey D. Garp’s eyes were the same as Luffy’s, big and round. However, when he became an adult, they became narrow. So what about Luffy’s eyes? Once he turns 20, will his eyes also become like Garp’s?

Garp at different age
Garp at different age time
Oda answered the question:
Since he turns 20 in just one year, I don't believe in such a brief time Luffy will change too much. For those wondering, like the sketches for Ace, "What would Luffy look like at age 40 and age 60?" take a look!
As he goes on, he concludes two possible outcomes that may encounter Luffy or any other character in the future and draw Luffy as he is in his 40s and 60s.

If all works well, Luffy might look like this:
Luffy in 40s and 60s if everything works out fine
Everything works out fine
  1. Age 40: Meat!!
  2. Age 60: Meat!!!
But if in the future something went wrong:
Luffy in 40s and 60s if something went wrong
Something went wrong
  1. Age 40: King of the Pirate? It's like a dream.
  2. Age 60: Oh? Have you brought some pleasant meat?

Yes. Doesn't he look a lot like Garp? In the future, where things might go well. But in a future where there's something going to happen then who knows! All right, it's completed!! Looking forward for the next time!!

Oda answered the request of Captain Nobuo again on December 2018, but this time it was Zoro and again Oda beautifully sketched a thought about Zoro at his 40s and 60s.
I would also like to see Zoro's future at 40 and 60 years old!
In answer to the question, Oda writes:
I believe he'd be something like this if he lives on without any significant problems:
Zoro in 40s and 60s if nothings went wrong in future
Everything works out well
    1. Age 40: Yontoryuu (Four sword style) Zoro
    2. Age 60: Gotoryuu (Five sword style) Zoro
    But if something went wrong in the coming future:
    Zoro in 40s and 60s if something went wrong
    Something went wrong
    1. Age 40: I'm going to quit. Holding that katana in my mouth hurt my back
    2. Age 60: If you're going to give me some cash, I'll dogeza (kneeling down).
    The purpose of these sketches is to demonstrate what could occur to these characters. Oda's drawing develops more curiosity related to one piece climax in heart of fans. We hope that all works well.
