It seems that the creator of the legendary manga and anime seriesDragon Ball, Akira Toriyama, might have predicted the epic journey of the Straw Hat Pirates from Eiichiro Oda’sOne Pieceyears before the series’ debut. A scene fromDragon Ballfeaturing Master Roshi discussing pirates has recently resurfaced and it has caught fan’s attention.
Eiichiro Oda’s admiration towards Akira Toriyama is not a mystery within the anime and manga community. Oda has often spoken about his respect for Toriyama and howDragon Ballinfluenced his journey as a manga artist.

In his remarks, Master Roshi explores the freedom and companionship that symbolize the pirate’s way of life —- themes thatEiichiro Odabrilliantly portrays inOne Piece. This connection has induced a re-evaluation of Toriyama’s work, indicating that the core of the Straw Hat Pirates’ adventures may have been built years beforeOne Piece‘s serialization began in 1997.
The discussion further emerges the possibility of a connection between the two series by speculating thatOne Piece‘sDevil Fruitmight have been a manifestation of someone’s wish from the Dragon of the Gods, Shenron, thousand years ago. In addition to this,One Piece‘s Haki might be an improvised version ofDragon Ball‘s Ki or energy.
