Dear Nakama,
It’s me, Eiichiro Oda — your eternally overworked, under-slept, suspiciously horse-meat-loving pirate dad.
I regret to inform you that One Piece Chapter 1162 has been canceled this week. Not because of the usual reasons, like catching the flu, eating too many fish burgers, or being box-diffed by Jinbei fans running an Amazon warehouse dojo. No. This time it’s because of something far more bizarre, far more… cursed.
It’s Sandman.
Yes. That Sandman. The evasive, mysterious, obsessive yandere-level online stalker who treats me like I’m his Monika from DDLC and he’s stuck on my route.
This man — this phantom simp — has stressed me out to the point where my stress levels are rivaling victims of Gear 5. He’s got a 21-hour daily schedule dedicated to posting about me, staring at my panels, and simping over every doodle I draw like it’s a rare Devil Fruit. Meanwhile, I have a 21-hour daily schedule making One Piece and trying to sneak in a little “Speed’s raw horse meat giggity” on the side. I can’t compete with that.
So I called for backup. Fellow mangaka assembled like a cursed anime Avengers:
Thank you all for your patience, your love, and your memes. Please pray for my sanity, or better yet, pray for Sandman to develop a healthy hobby like baking or stamp collecting.
Your eternally cursed pirate dad,
Eiichiro “Ecchi” Oda

Meanwhile, I have a 21-hour daily schedule making One Piece and trying to sneak in a little “Speed’s raw horse meat giggity” on the side. I can’t compete with that.
So I called for backup. Fellow mangaka assembled like a cursed anime Avengers:
- Watsuki (my idol — no, I’ve never borrowed DVDs from him, don’t ask) swore he’d hunt down Sandman using his “Vicious Bandana Mode.” He explained to me, in a very serious tone, that when he ties his headband, it triples his sword-drawing speed and his stamina bar fills instantly. He said this was the exact aura that inspired Zoro’s “final boss” bandana moment. Then he pulled out a wooden bokken and said, “Don’t worry, Oda. Sandman can’t handle Bandana Arc DLC.” Honestly, I don’t know if he’s going to help me or if he’s just going to stand dramatically in an alley somewhere tying and untying his bandana.
- Kishimoto laughed in my face for ten minutes straight. Then he said, “Oda, you’re Sasuke, Sandman is your Naruto, and your Sakura is your wife. No matter how much you hate him, he’ll always chase you, he’ll always understand you, and he’ll always talk no jutsu you into emotional breakdowns.” Then he winked and said, “By the way, don’t forget, in the end Naruto and Sasuke were basically married.” I don’t know if that was advice, trolling, or some kind of cursed foreshadowing. All I know is I suddenly felt like I was in a weird doujinshi crossover written by fate itself.
- Tite Kubo (aka Titty Kubo) just leaned back in his chair, smirked, and said, “Oda, you’re overthinking this. Just draw more big phat titties. Sandman is your Aizen. He’s inevitable. You’re Ichigo. Everyone wins.” Then, like some kind of magician, he pulled out an endless stack of character design sheets — all women, all blessed with gravity-defying breasts — and threw them in the air like sakura petals. The pages formed a wall of double-Ds that he disappeared behind. His final words before vanishing into the titty dimension were: “Remember, Oda. With every curve, you gain another fan.”
- Murata arrived with a whiteboard and a 70-slide PowerPoint presentation. His tactical strategy to neutralize Sandman was flawless: infiltration, misdirection, psychological warfare, counter-memeing. It was genius. But then he frowned. Erased everything. Redrew the whole plan from scratch, making it even more detailed. Then erased it again. Then started sketching extremely high-definition thighs of Fubuki “for reference.” By the time he was done redrawing the redraw of his redraw, Sandman had already posted twelve new threads. Murata apologized and said, “I’ll fix this in the next draft.” I fear there is no next draft.
- Araki appeared literally glowing. He was posing like a Roman marble statue while Gregorian chants echoed around him. “Do not worry, Oda,” he said, “I shall send the Pillar Men to handle Sandman. They shall flex and pose until he combusts in awe.” Then he clasped my shoulder with immortal gravitas and added, “Also, thank you for Urouge. He is the ultimate Pillar Man tribute. He will be the protagonist of JoJo Part 10.” He then pitched me JoJo Part 10: JoJoHarem — Urouge’s Bizarre Adventure to Impregnate Every Woman Alive and Become the JoJoHarem King. I can’t tell if he was serious, but I was two seconds away from signing a contract in blood.
- Rumiko Takahashi sat me down like an anime mom and said, “Oda, you should use cursed Ranma spring water to transform into a woman. That’ll repel Sandman.” But then she frowned and said, “Actually, that might awaken something worse in him.” She also suggested I cosplay as Lum from Urusei Yatsura, complete with tiger-striped bikini and little horns, and just yell “DARLING ♥” every time Sandman appears. I asked her if she was trolling me. She only smiled. If you see me at Jump HQ in Lum cosplay, mind your business.
- Mashima barged in with suspicious enthusiasm. He said, “Oda, I’m going to copy you and get my own stalker. Totally original idea. Not inspired by you at all. Trust me.” Then he pulled out sketchbooks filled with every One Piece female character drawn naked “for research.” He insisted he was taking notes. I don’t know what his notes were on, but Lucy Heartfilia was definitely in them. He then gave me a ten-minute lecture about how he’s actually faster than me because he can finish a whole chapter in the time it takes me to sneeze. Then he winked and said, “Of course, I don’t have to think about complicated things like… plot.” He showed me a crossover drawing of Natsu arm-wrestling Luffy while every female character from One Piece and Fairy Tail cheered in bikinis. He said it was a ‘serious world-building idea.’ I called it hentai. He didn’t deny it. Finally, he leaned in and whispered, “Don’t worry, Oda. If Sandman ever comes for me, I’ll just send Erza in 37 different outfits. He’ll never escape the cosplay cycle.” Honestly, I think Mashima might be Sandman’s final evolution.
- Sorachi from Gintama stared at me with dead fish eyes for a full five minutes before saying, “Hide in a closet. Inside another closet. Inside a gorilla. Fill the gorilla with mayonnaise. That way, when Sandman opens the first closet, he finds another. Then another. Then mayonnaise. He’ll never reach you.” It made no sense. But I laughed so hard I stopped stress-vomiting for a few minutes. Which might actually mean it was the best advice I’ve gotten so far.
- Togashi did not appear in person. Instead, my fax machine screamed for thirty minutes straight and printed out 47 pages of pure text. No drawings. Just a wall of narration. A monologue so long it made the Chimera Ant arc look like a knock-knock joke. The first page said: “Oda-kun… Sandman is like Gyro. Essential to the story. His backstory will be revealed in 2045.” The rest was an essay on Nen mechanics and how Sandman’s ability is basically “Posting No Jutsu.” He ended with three Hunter x Hunter memes, a cursed Yu Yu Hakusho panel of Kuwabara edited to look like Sandman, and a doodle of Gon punching Sandman while Yusuke smoked in the background. I don’t know if it was advice or a death flag, but the fax weighed 3 kilograms. I’m still reading page 26.
- Hiromu Arakawa (Fullmetal Alchemist) sent me a cow-drawn postcard. On it, Edward Elric was clapping his hands to transmute my stress into a happy cow mascot. She wrote: “A good mangaka sacrifices their soul, but not their sleep. You, Oda, are doing it wrong.” Then she drew Ed getting mad at me for being taller than him. Easy for her to say — she actually finished her manga before turning into dust like the rest of us eternal shonen fossils. I envy her.
- Naoko Takeuchi (Sailor Moon) sent me a sparkly pink envelope. When I opened it, a tiny chibi Usagi popped out and shouted, “In the name of the moon, I will punish Sandman!” before exploding into glitter. Inside was a Tuxedo Mask sticker labeled “Plot Armor DLC” and a note that said, “Just draw Sandman falling in love with the moon. Works every time.” Now there’s glitter embedded in my floorboards forever. Thanks, Naoko.
- Yoshio Sawai (Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo) did not knock. He kicked down my office door, shirtless, screaming about hair justice and yelling “FIST OF THE NOSE HAIR.” He declared that Don Patch would personally infiltrate Sandman’s house. I tried to stop him but he had already strapped dynamite to a giant afro and was riding it like a horse while screaming nonsense. I don’t know if he saved me or started World War III. The cursed aura in my office has not recovered since.
Thank you all for your patience, your love, and your memes. Please pray for my sanity, or better yet, pray for Sandman to develop a healthy hobby like baking or stamp collecting.
Your eternally cursed pirate dad,
Eiichiro “Ecchi” Oda

its more believable with oda perfect writing 
Tar could also mean Tartarus
"In Greek mythology, Tartarus (/ˈtɑːrtərəs/; Ancient Greek: Τάρταρος, romanized: Tártaros)[1] is the deep abyss that is used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked and as the prison for the Titans. "

Could this be the Demon that possessed Nerona Imu via Devil Fruit? The Goddess of Chaos?
Also fits into Impel Down.
After what Kaido told Luffy about Awakenings, and the fate of the Awakened Beasts in Impel Down who lost their minds, I think Imu either had a Devil Fruit Awakening go badly, or straight up summoned a Demon into them.
This would fit what we see in Film Red, with Uta's Fruit being needed to summon the Demon King, Tot Musica.
Perhaps Imu had the Fruit needed to summon the Demon Queen of Chaos, Eris, the same way Uta's was needed for Tot Musica?
Uta IS canon, we saw her silhouette in the chapter Shanks WIFI'd House Salad.
I think Demon Lords are canon in One Piece, and Imu's possessed by one. Eris fits.
I also believe that the "Gods" we hear about it One Piece, were real entities, who altered their own Lineage Factor to become godlike. Eris could have been one of these Gods.
Tartarus actually interests me more than Eris, here.
Does Imu have his own, personal, Impel Down, in the Abyss, named Tartarus? Or is Tartarus the One Piece equivalent of Hell?
Is Davy Jones' Locker connected to Tartarus?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
I know it's just "Tar", but, Tartarus being connected to mythological monsters really interests me, considering the Gorosei are what they are.
