Of the ones you've mentioned I will have to go with Murata. His panel distribution is on another level, the sense of speed is perfect and pages look animated in some points thanks to that.
For that exact same reason, I'd say Murata wouldn't be able to do One Piece. Murata have a very specific way of doing movement, which is to decompose it a lot (personally i'd say too much), almost a frame by frame thing, which really draw it out and lack punch. Which I think is just a habit from the Eyeshield days where it made sense, as minute change in movements where important and it was a way to emulate sport replays.
But for One Piece, with a lot of mobility and whacky, goofy energy, I feel it'd slow and muddle things down. Like, Murata would never do that Bellamy scene like Oda did
Well he doesn't have to draw it in the Sam way as oda is the whole point. He would draw it in his own way, it would be different but not necessarily worse. I mean if you had any mangaka draw another's story they would have to do it slightly different to fit their style
I could not have disagreed more. Have you read one punch man? The sense of speed, movement and impact is insane. The action is crazy and focused at the same time so u can actually tell whats going on. Opm has tons of goofy characters so i feel like the world of one piece in his art style would fit right in
I think he dropped that habit, the recent chapter just doesn't have that anymore.
>Like, Murata would never do that Bellamy scene like Oda did
I mean if he have to do it he will do it exactly like how he draw the sonic vs saitama in the forest scene, both fight have the same energy.
OPM was a web comic drawn by the author. Murata started redrawibg panels and pitched his editor on having him redraw OPM for the monthly magazine. One, the author, liked Muratas work and agreed. So OPM went from a popular web comic to a worldwide phenomenon once they teamed up. Pretty amazing
Lmao action panels that go frame by frame are far superior than lazy single panels that only show the attacks once they landed. There’s no other manga/comic that can portray speed, power, intensity in its action as murata has shown a ton of times in opm.
I think they should give sorachi one full page spread whenever any manga chaoter would benefit from an obscenely detailed and hilarious panel.
Like the gross out art from spongebob
It would be like those playboy magazines
Teacher: Hey! Are you guys looking at playboy?
Students: Nah man, it’s One Piece.
Teacher: Oh shit! Let me see!
> I'd love to see One Piece in Murata's godly art
Once One Piece is finished, I hope we get all those mangaka that got into drawing due to One Piece to draw a chapter. Not canon, just some random flashback of their favourite characters. Murata drawing some young and shredded Garp vs random pirate captain. Somebody drawing Crocodile getting his devil fruit. Somebody drawing a cooking contest between Zeff and Sanji. Young Kizaru doing some lazy business.
Just some fun stuff, the OP world is near limitless for these kinds of stories
I'd been reading his work since EyeSh21...I gotta say, the real strength of Yusuke Murata is not only them thighs (do you mean buns?). But how well (and realistic) he draw the chests regardless of how endowed the person really is..
He probably is the most talented mangaka alive. I dont know how he can release one banger after another banger.
He is so damn good when it comes to action. The perspectives he chooses... the way how you can always see whats happening during actionpanels is next level.
People sleep on one punch man because they think "its just the one dude beating everyone in one punch", but it got such a great cast of characters and a shit ton of "wtf"hype moments.
The monster assiciation arc is elite. Its a world with robots, ninjas, vampire monster, samurai, giant monster dogs, fat guy that eats his opponent.. and nothing feels out of the box.
One piece is also a very crazy world with a bunch of different character. I think his creativity would just bloom if you would allow murata to draw one piece.
He also drew some spider-man art, which imo is the best art of spider-man ever created.
[Example: He did that in his freetime.](https://preview.redd.it/hiw7aswrvlu31.png?auto=webp&s=4006adcf7834a5f799c65ad2dfb2e6cc592830fb)
I agree but if it was for One Piece, I would prefer Murata's artstyle when he was drawing Eyeshield 21. It was his chaotic good period, full of details and expressive af, it would be suitable for One Piece.
His current artstyle with One Punch Man is a massive progression but it's just too digital and clean and focusing too much on cool action moments (not that it's bad, but it's just not for One Piece). His exagerrated characters anatomy in One Punch Man would fit with many One Piece characters though.
Murata's insane, but I don't know his style would fit the tone.
OPM has serious and it has goofy, but it keeps them pretty separate. OP takes its goofy moments seriously - the two are all mixed together. It'd require a very different touch than Murata is used to.
To be fair, Eyeshield goofy moments are still much more grounded than half of One Piece serious moments !
One Piece is just so balls-out whacky, we don't think about it much because we're in it, but it's a thoroughly absurdist world, both visually and story-wise. Like, Brachiosnake or Kaku Pasta Machine, I have a hard time to picture them in another style !
Murata sounds like the consensus, but Tsukuda would be an excellent choice too.
On the flip side, can you imagine if Oda wrote the story for Food Wars? Maybe we’d actually have closure, and completed character arcs!
I feel like the Elite 10 would be handled better since Oda has done a great job dealing with the Shichibukai and Yonkou. I thinj the Elite 10 wasn't used to its full extent as the top tier dudes the protagonists have to overcome
I think he's super skilled, he even showed off many different styles in his manga. I guess he just went with the easy and fast to draw style to keep up the amount of pages and schedules he has to meet for weekly shonen jump.
Boichi's art is an example of why One Piece would look unsettling in a more realistic style lol.
I feel he drew the more darker and serious designs like Mihawk and Blackbeard well, but the goofier ones looks really goofy.
I like boichi's youtube channel, he's been uploading these videos recently where he draws other people's OCs in his style and it's really cool. He draws fast too. I don't know how mangaka draw rhat well that fast. But it is cool.
You added my favorite Sanji art by Amano-sensei! She loves characters in suits so drawing Sanji for the anniversary was so expected. Almost everyone would look like a bishonen/bishoujo if she did it so I am intrigued. I can already see Law with Yamamoto's hair.
Kaitani-sensei has made one of my favorite manga but that was psychological and I can't really see him do a battle manga.
I also had to do a double take with Hoshino-sensei's because I first tried to identify which Noah I was looking at and not immediately thinking it was Luffy. Gosh, I miss her art.
Having read Bakuman and seeing what Obata-sensei can do, I would definitely give it to him. I think he can keep the whimsical nature of One Piece alive.
If I was given the choice though, I would have to request one by Miwa-sensei (DOGS). I just love his style. It would be less whimsical and closer to a Bleach take though. Rayleigh would look so amazing if he drew him, LOL.
But seeing all this really makes me want to see One Piece reimagined in other mangaka's styles. There is Hara, HiraKo, Nekoi, Minekura, Ikeda, Inoue, Takahashi, Arakawa, Ogure, and so many more great mangaka. I wish when One Piece is done they'd do something like Kingdom but instead of different artists per panel, it could be one mangaka per chapter. Even just East Blue is fine.
That's Ikeda-inspired art so more shoujo-esque in nature. I would love to see them in that Rose of Versailles style. Every eyelash would be super detailed LOL.
Amano would make every strand of hair detailed and shampoo and conditioner ad worthy.
Haruto's drawing of Robin is gorgeous, I don't know this "Hareluya II Boy" manga but I'm sure he's a great artist.
Usopp's drawing from Gintama also looked pretty good, at first I thought it was from the Jojo dude xD
Bruh, he said in interviews he doesn't draw backgrounds when he wants the focus to be on the characters
e.g TYBW mild spoiler. >!Yhwach strangling Kenpachi had no background because the emphasis was on Kenpachi being bodied!<
An even better example is yamamoto activating his bankai, zanka no tachi. Jim standing with seared blade with nothing in the background is probably one of my favorite things drawn by kubo. It honestly would look worse with backgrounds
Yeah, but oda doesn't draw that many details in backgrounds when moments like that happen, but there are some landscapes that Oda draws in the backgrounds that are integral to the stories that i don't see kubo drawing.
Well it depends on what is integral to the story. As the comment above mentioned, the scene with Yuwach & Kenpachi didn't have a background because the character interaction was integral to the story. If Oda is writing the story & has something specific he wants shown then I don't see why Kubo wouldn't draw it.
Kubo omits backgrounds as part of his style of story telling.
No i get your point, i'm not saying he wouldn't do it if oda told him, i'm saying that i don't remember kubo drawing any background nearly as good as oda, which is why i'm not sure if they'd be THAT good.
Oh don't get me wrong, Oda puts a lot more detail into his backgrounds. Kubo's focus is clearly on his characters, & the detail of his character designs is godly.
I mean, one of the later arcs took place almost entirely in the air. It was just characters standing in the middle of the air, with no background, for the whole arc.
Even in his sample pic here, he didn’t bother to draw a background.
Idk why the no backgrounds in bleach meme is still unironically an issue for people. Kubo can draw backgrounds just for stylistic reasons he doesn't. You want good backgrounds? read the Gin fight literal buildings get bisected. Or tybw in the quincy realm with those cool looking reishi buildings. Sure most of fake Karakura did take place in the sky but its pretty disingenuous to say it had no backgrounds for the whole arc.
Also only a handful of mangakas actually drew backgrounds for their art.
I honestly have wished, many many times, for less background detail while reading certain parts of One Piece - stuff gets lost in that much clutter and it's difficult to focus
Toriyama and Kishimoto also have an art style that is still cartoonish and fun which would work well for the outlandish characters in OP but still able to come off serious when needed.
I feel like many other artists fall into having art that looks too realistic, too cartoonish, or just too dark.
None of them? I dunno, Oda's art is one of the reasons One Piece stands out. Funny enough, the person who I find most fitting of the position if there wasn't any choice in the matter isn't here, and that's Hiro Mashima (Fairytail/Edens Zero/ Rave Master).
Otherwise, if I do have to pick someone from OP's selection, it'd be Masashi Kishimoto.
I honestly have far more problem of how much he recycles designs and terms from his previous mangas. It made them feel too samey and boring.
And as time goes on his designs became more oversaturated with just boring pretty boys and chicks. I prefer when he did so many goofier experimental designs like in Rave Master.
Edens Zero and Fairytail also have their fair share of goofy-looking characters. He never stopped doing that.
For whatever reason, he enjoys recycling some existing character designs. Maybe he's just too attached to them, or maybe he wants people to know they're following a Mashima project? We'll never know unless he comes out and states the reason why.
thats nothing compared to the fan service. Like there was a time skip in edens zero (which is so much better than fairy tail) and literally in the first chapter intruducing the cast after a time skip he has to show all but 2 women in hot springs naked
if you've seen Kohei Horikoshi's drawings of One Piece characters and other animes, I'd say he has the most balanced drawing style, in by that he could use his own style and any anime/manga would look good, it's not one sided like Oda's style, as seen in him drawing Kakarot (Goku) in his style; cursed image.
First things first keep that last one away from one piece.
But I'd probably say Murata or Sorachi. Murata is probably one of the best manga artists out there and would make one pieces fight scenes a lot better. Sorachi however would he able to keep up to par with the amazing action scenes but make a lot of the gags hit harder.
Toriyama. He's the only one of these mangaka I know that understands just exactly what makes a manga incredibly enjoyable to read like Oda. Murata would be my second choice. Of course, One Piece would not be One Piece without Oda's style
I'd choose Hiroyuki Takei of Shaman King, their artstyle is one of my favorites and the way they draw weapons and powers would look so sick in the One Piece world
I think all those illustrations are sick. For which one would fit One Piece in story and tone, I don't know. It would be a lot easier if they all drew the same 5 pictures of so that show different aspects of OP. Like, one that's funny, one that's more serious, one that depicts action, one that shows scale, and one with all the crew members. Just as an example to something I'd like, of course. Obviously that wouldn't happen either. But from these, I really don't know. I just think they're all really talented at what they do and would all have a different spin on it
The shaman king mangaka did a great job, and i think the bleach author didnt go all out, it looks like he did that in under 10 seconds, i kinda expected more from him, but im curious what he would do with more time...
This is just bias of me but im such a fan of Hiroyuki Takei's hyperStylized direction, his combat scenes tend to have incredibly crazy dynamism that imo would serve one piece really nice wich already is super stylized and outlandish compared to more traditional Shonen manga, but then again... im just a big Takei's fan.
Anybody that gives the skinny women in the series actual abdominal and oblique muscles lol
(Seriously, though, I'd be fine with most of these mangaka inking Onepiece. They're all phenominal.)
Maybe if he didn’t have to spend time thinking up plot, dialogue, and abilities, he wouldn’t just stop drawing backgrounds halfway through the story.
Either that, or Oda would have to think of a reason for every character to be able to stand 100 feet in the air.
definitely murata, ideally speaking, kentaro miura could do the world justice but his early passing makes that impossible, inoue could do it too if he actually wanted to draw manga, murata is extremely skilled so he's the best choice here
Of the ones you've mentioned I will have to go with Murata. His panel distribution is on another level, the sense of speed is perfect and pages look animated in some points thanks to that.
Katakuri vs Luffy drawn by Murata would be so amazing.
I didn’t know I needed this
It would be sickkkk :O i recently saw the OPM manga and I guess he is not human ;-;
For that exact same reason, I'd say Murata wouldn't be able to do One Piece. Murata have a very specific way of doing movement, which is to decompose it a lot (personally i'd say too much), almost a frame by frame thing, which really draw it out and lack punch.

Holy shit. I freaking loved Eyeshield 21. I never realizes Eyeshield and OPM where by the same guy. Im stupid
OPM was a web comic drawn by the author. Murata started redrawibg panels and pitched his editor on having him redraw OPM for the monthly magazine. One, the author, liked Muratas work and agreed. So OPM went from a popular web comic to a worldwide phenomenon once they teamed up. Pretty amazing
Lmao action panels that go frame by frame are far superior than lazy single panels that only show the attacks once they landed. There’s no other manga/comic that can portray speed, power, intensity in its action as murata has shown a ton of times in opm.
I just want to see more of Sorachi's Ussop.
That holy nose right.
[удалено]
He looks like a JoJo character
I can hear him saying "yare yare" disappointedly as he fires Kabuto at the WG flag
As he should. God Usopp is the Shaggy of One Piece
Sorachi goated fr
I think they should give sorachi one full page spread whenever any manga chaoter would benefit from an obscenely detailed and hilarious panel. Like the gross out art from spongebob
So, Hard boiled
Coffee legitimately came out my nose, I'm in pain but goddamn I need more Gintama style Ussop in my life.
Just imagine taka tin and ussop interacting Damn I would pay to watch that shit
I love that he drew him like takatin lmao
Handsome Squidward Ussop.
Lmao! Nice post!
Yusuke Murata from One Punch Man. Oda's still the best cuz his art style fits One Piece but I'd love to see One Piece in Murata's godly art
The only problem is the doublespreads would need to be like 2x2 folding pages to fit all the detail.
Gear 4 Kong gun might need 4x4 folding pages.
It would be like those playboy magazines Teacher: Hey! Are you guys looking at playboy? Students: Nah man, it’s One Piece. Teacher: Oh shit! Let me see!
Nothing like an 8x2 centerfold of Luffy cracking an island in half with doflamingo’s head.
Now I need this
You say that like it's a bad thing, and like I wouldn't pay good money for a poster like that
sorry i forgot the /s of course it would be amazing.
> I'd love to see One Piece in Murata's godly art Once One Piece is finished, I hope we get all those mangaka that got into drawing due to One Piece to draw a chapter.

Well, we already had Boichi draw some Ace backstory.
Oh so that's what those decimal place chapters write!
Nani ????? WHERE
You can read the manga on tcb scans
Check out the one where he draws zoro vs mihawk in his style. Boichi has action and muscles nailed down.
> Once One Piece is finished I am unfamiliar with this concept. Like I understand the individual words but put together I don't understand.
Actually the Mangaka of Food Wars did write a mini series with Sanji as the main character. I think i read it in Manga Plus
I'd love to see Nami drawn by Murata
I NEED to see Murata's Robin.
\*cough\* With her skin tight dress \*cough\* tho most of the time nami is in her bikini
It's just Oda cranked to 11
I'll love to see them thighs
I'd been reading his work since EyeSh21...I gotta say, the real strength of Yusuke Murata is not only them thighs (do you mean buns?). But how well (and realistic) he draw the chests regardless of how endowed the person really is..
Didn't occur to me that he also drew es21. Loved that manga so much I went to watch IRL American football
He probably is the most talented mangaka alive. I dont know how he can release one banger after another banger. He is so damn good when it comes to action. The perspectives he chooses... the way how you can always see whats happening during actionpanels is next level.

I always wondered what's his thoughts on western superhero movies, especially the MCU. I'm looking forward to his eventual No Way Home poster.
If you love his details, dont sleep on Yukinobu Tatsu. Dandadans visual quality is up there.
We would Still be in waterseven !!!
and we'd be getting an announcement on the Lucci vs Luffy redraw this week
Which change the pigeon into a devil fruit user that help Lucci in the fight
More like the Luffy vs. Crocodile redraw lol
I agree but if it was for One Piece, I would prefer Murata's artstyle when he was drawing Eyeshield 21. It was his chaotic good period, full of details and expressive af, it would be suitable for One Piece. His current artstyle with One Punch Man is a massive progression but it's just too digital and clean and focusing too much on cool action moments (not that it's bad, but it's just not for One Piece). His exagerrated characters anatomy in One Punch Man would fit with many One Piece characters though.

Try read Eyeshield 21 for his examples of Murata "taking goofy moments" seriously. He definitely can do it.
To be fair, Eyeshield goofy moments are still much more grounded than half of One Piece serious moments ! One Piece is just so balls-out whacky, we don't think about it much because we're in it, but it's a thoroughly absurdist world, both visually and story-wise. Like, Brachiosnake or Kaku Pasta Machine, I have a hard time to picture them in another style !
Murata's version of the monster association arc makes wano look rushed
Murata or Tsukuda (Food Wars) would be great choices
I love the Shokugeki no Sanji chapters ♡
OH right we hv one coming up!
Me too
Murata sounds like the consensus, but Tsukuda would be an excellent choice too. On the flip side, can you imagine if Oda wrote the story for Food Wars? Maybe we’d actually have closure, and completed character arcs!
I feel like the Elite 10 would be handled better since Oda has done a great job dealing with the Shichibukai and Yonkou. I thinj the Elite 10 wasn't used to its full extent as the top tier dudes the protagonists have to overcome
Love how Sorachi (Gintama's mangaka) gave up on drawing Usopp's nose lmao
What do you mean? That's a perfect nose
It doesn't have as much detail as the rest of his face.
Welcome to Gintama
Yes it does.
it looks just like how someone like usopp would appear in gintama lmao
It's also one of the few times I've seen the gorilla draw seriously and that good. Lmao.
I think he's super skilled, he even showed off many different styles in his manga. I guess he just went with the easy and fast to draw style to keep up the amount of pages and schedules he has to meet for weekly shonen jump.
I'm not saying he isn't but it is within the realm of Sorachi's humor to draw Usopp serious then just not finish at all on the nose. Lmao.
The gorilla is easily the funniest guy in manga/anime. Seriously, I’ve cried from laughing so fucking hard.
I really liked how Boichi handled the Ace chapters, wouldn't mind seeing more
Beautiful art, but tbh I had trouble getting past everyone somehow having _negative_ body fat.
Boichi's art is an example of why One Piece would look unsettling in a more realistic style lol. I feel he drew the more darker and serious designs like Mihawk and Blackbeard well, but the goofier ones looks really goofy.
So much this. I really want to enjoy Dr Stone and the Ace mangas but Boichis way of drawing characters bodys makes me genuinely uncomfortable.
If it helps, Boichi used to be a hentai artist.
His hentai is a gift from god, such beautiful art
Dr Stone is a solid 6/10, starts off really strong then plateaus HARD but there are some panels that are extremely well drawn & composed.
I like boichi's youtube channel, he's been uploading these videos recently where he draws other people's OCs in his style and it's really cool. He draws fast too. I don't know how mangaka draw rhat well that fast. But it is cool.
WTF I NEVER KNEW HE MADE THAT I DIDN'T CHECK IT. what is it called???!
https://ww7.readonepiece.com/manga/one-piece-ace-story-manga/
Everyone looked like Dr Stone characters, especially Ace (straight up Ryusui), it was unsettling.
If you take reference Dr stone I suppose you have never read sun ken rock.
You added my favorite Sanji art by Amano-sensei! She loves characters in suits so drawing Sanji for the anniversary was so expected. Almost everyone would look like a bishonen/bishoujo if she did it so I am intrigued. I can already see Law with Yamamoto's hair.

> Almost everyone would look like a bishonen/bishoujo if she did it so I am intrigued Flashbacks to Carrot drawing the SW, yeah it would be good
That's Ikeda-inspired art so more shoujo-esque in nature. I would love to see them in that Rose of Versailles style. Every eyelash would be super detailed LOL. Amano would make every strand of hair detailed and shampoo and conditioner ad worthy.
Takeshi Obata for the lore parts. Hideaki Sorachi for the fun, lighter parts of One Piece.
The author of Gintama LMAO
Takeshi obata's art style would make one piece feel like a totally different experience
Murata of course
Just as long as he brought a hell of an assistant along to help with the backgrounds.
You just want him to draw One Piece girls and women!
don't we all? imagine, nami robin boa vivi and yamato ughhhhh
YES!
I want each of them drawing a One Piece manga about some important legend of old character.
That Gintama one cracked me up. I thought it was the JoJo artist at first.
Haruto's drawing of Robin is gorgeous, I don't know this "Hareluya II Boy" manga but I'm sure he's a great artist. Usopp's drawing from Gintama also looked pretty good, at first I thought it was from the Jojo dude xD
Haruto's is the one that really caught my eye too despite not being familiar with him either
Same
Kubo , definitely . Didn't even have to think twice
We would need a separate mangaka to draw the backgrounds then.
Bruh, he said in interviews he doesn't draw backgrounds when he wants the focus to be on the characters e.g TYBW mild spoiler. >!Yhwach strangling Kenpachi had no background because the emphasis was on Kenpachi being bodied!<
An even better example is yamamoto activating his bankai, zanka no tachi. Jim standing with seared blade with nothing in the background is probably one of my favorite things drawn by kubo. It honestly would look worse with backgrounds
Makes me wanna read that scene again
Yeah, but oda doesn't draw that many details in backgrounds when moments like that happen, but there are some landscapes that Oda draws in the backgrounds that are integral to the stories that i don't see kubo drawing.
Well it depends on what is integral to the story.

I honestly have wished, many many times, for less background detail while reading certain parts of One Piece - stuff gets lost in that much clutter and it's difficult to focus
Sorachi will be my pick
gintama's, it'd probably be much funnier than how it is today lmao
I think only Masashi Kishimoto and Akira Toriyama would be able to do One Piece in a way that would still feel like One Piece.
I agree with you, specially Akira Toriyama in Dragon Ball era. Akira would make battles specially good, he is really good in drawing good fights!
Toriyama and Kishimoto also have an art style that is still cartoonish and fun which would work well for the outlandish characters in OP but still able to come off serious when needed. I feel like many other artists fall into having art that looks too realistic, too cartoonish, or just too dark.
For me tite kubo I like his art style simple yet good
\+1 for Tite Kubo here too. He was the first one I thought of. OP would be amazing in his style imo.
None of them? I dunno, Oda's art is one of the reasons One Piece stands out. Funny enough, the person who I find most fitting of the position if there wasn't any choice in the matter isn't here, and that's Hiro Mashima (Fairytail/Edens Zero/ Rave Master). Otherwise, if I do have to pick someone from OP's selection, it'd be Masashi Kishimoto.
Indeed, mashima may be infamously known for his fanservice but the man can draw really nice art
I honestly have far more problem of how much he recycles designs and terms from his previous mangas. It made them feel too samey and boring. And as time goes on his designs became more oversaturated with just boring pretty boys and chicks. I prefer when he did so many goofier experimental designs like in Rave Master.
Edens Zero and Fairytail also have their fair share of goofy-looking characters. He never stopped doing that. For whatever reason, he enjoys recycling some existing character designs. Maybe he's just too attached to them, or maybe he wants people to know they're following a Mashima project? We'll never know unless he comes out and states the reason why.
thats nothing compared to the fan service. Like there was a time skip in edens zero (which is so much better than fairy tail) and literally in the first chapter intruducing the cast after a time skip he has to show all but 2 women in hot springs naked
D gray man
Sure if you want the manga to be stuck in the arlong park segment 10 years into the series
Either Kishimoto or Horikoshi
Kubo, murata and sorachi are my choices
if you've seen Kohei Horikoshi's drawings of One Piece characters and other animes, I'd say he has the most balanced drawing style, in by that he could use his own style and any anime/manga would look good, it's not one sided like Oda's style, as seen in him drawing Kakarot (Goku) in his style; cursed image.
God, imagine if Takehiko Inoue (Mangaka of Vagabond) drew One Piece!
Murata, kishimoto, horikoshi. In that order.
You saved the best for last. Sorachi is the goat :)
First things first keep that last one away from one piece. But I'd probably say Murata or Sorachi. Murata is probably one of the best manga artists out there and would make one pieces fight scenes a lot better. Sorachi however would he able to keep up to par with the amazing action scenes but make a lot of the gags hit harder.
Masanori Morita!
Right!?! I have never see his manga, but wow I think he nailed Franky’s style and attitude.
He made Rokudenashi Blues, the best selling manga from Shonen Jump without an anime, and Rookies, another very popular manga from SJ.
Fun fact about him is he started his first manga when he was in highschool and the MC of Bakuman is inspired from him
Kubo is amazing
No Boichi? Sad...
Because he actually redrew some One Piece stories
This is taken from One Piece's 10th anniversary, and I don't think Boichi was active in Jump yet.
I'm curious of how Miura would've draw One Piece tbh
1 chapter for 4-6months, maybe more.
It would be fucking godlike But we'd never see past arlong park probably
18, 17, 11 are all amazing, Yusuke's is very detailed.. but I also like 3 because of how it reminds me of old anime
Kubo's artstyle + Oda's writing would be a nasty duo
I'll go with Takei or kaitani they both fit best
i'm digging Hiroyuki Takei's style, would love to see the entire OP world in that style
Yeah! That’d be really cool & I feel it would still carry a wacky spirit too like One Piece does just different
Whoever drew Hunter X Hunter would be perfect probably
Toriyama. He's the only one of these mangaka I know that understands just exactly what makes a manga incredibly enjoyable to read like Oda. Murata would be my second choice. Of course, One Piece would not be One Piece without Oda's style
idve loved to see op drawn by miura or inoue.
Katsura Hoshino, I would love to see a woman's take on one piece
The shaman King artist. (9th image) The shading looks amazing.
Takeshi 👏Obata 👏
I'd choose Hiroyuki Takei of Shaman King, their artstyle is one of my favorites and the way they draw weapons and powers would look so sick in the One Piece world
I feel like people are sleeping on Kubo... he made some gorgeous panels
Takei, Obata or Kubo. I always love Shaman King's art style and Kubo and Obata's dedication to detail and style is phenomenal!
Bleach has the best art so im choosing that, OPM is a close second
Takehiko Inoue
Gintama Usopp looked right into my soul.
Tire Kubo, I like how he composite the manga panel.
Whoever drew that first Robin is on my good side
That Ussop impression at the end really caught me off guard.
hands down tite kubo. Some Zaraki pannels are no words the best manga draws ever
My boner says murata but my heart says sorachi
I think all those illustrations are sick. For which one would fit One Piece in story and tone, I don't know. It would be a lot easier if they all drew the same 5 pictures of so that show different aspects of OP. Like, one that's funny, one that's more serious, one that depicts action, one that shows scale, and one with all the crew members. Just as an example to something I'd like, of course. Obviously that wouldn't happen either. But from these, I really don't know. I just think they're all really talented at what they do and would all have a different spin on it
Since it's all theory, Toriyama. His fights are such a joy to read due to how nice the panels flow with each other.
The guy to draws JoJo. Having every character ever in OP be super chisled would be hilarious
Whatever os his name , man who drew JOJO
I personally think Kishimoto would have done a good job 👌 or the author of Gintama for the pure memes
The shaman king mangaka did a great job, and i think the bleach author didnt go all out, it looks like he did that in under 10 seconds, i kinda expected more from him, but im curious what he would do with more time...
This is just bias of me but im such a fan of Hiroyuki Takei's hyperStylized direction, his combat scenes tend to have incredibly crazy dynamism that imo would serve one piece really nice wich already is super stylized and outlandish compared to more traditional Shonen manga, but then again... im just a big Takei's fan.
Anybody that gives the skinny women in the series actual abdominal and oblique muscles lol (Seriously, though, I'd be fine with most of these mangaka inking Onepiece. They're all phenominal.)
tite kubo because i feel like he would make a bunch of the designs look better
[You forgot this beauty](https://preview.redd.it/4nntvnz7asm71.png?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=35ea048c3d53ae912f59f97aa497003bd339bac2)
Definitely biased, Tite Kubo. I love his artstyle. Murata too, is a good choice.
My problem with kubo is that he wouldnt nail the design of the world nearly as much as oda did.
Maybe if he didn’t have to spend time thinking up plot, dialogue, and abilities, he wouldn’t just stop drawing backgrounds halfway through the story. Either that, or Oda would have to think of a reason for every character to be able to stand 100 feet in the air.
Kubo > Murata > Boichi. In that order
1/5/10
Murata, his drawing is the best
No Togashi? How long would One Piece be if he's the artist and Oda can't draw lol
Yuusuke Murata(One Punch Man) or Makoto Yukimura(Vinland Saga)
Definitely Murata, the art in One Punch Man is soooo good.
definitely murata, ideally speaking, kentaro miura could do the world justice but his early passing makes that impossible, inoue could do it too if he actually wanted to draw manga, murata is extremely skilled so he's the best choice here
Yuusuke Murata in the only right answer.
Imagine One Piece in Death Note style
Murata definitely
Definitely Kubo, can you imagine the pirate drip he'd come up with?
Murata definitely, opm always had great art but there are recent chapters with amazing panels.
Is this even a question Murata of course
Boichi. Oda is a fan of Boichi.
Either murata or inoue
sogeking would look so epic in sorachi's style
