Eiichiro Oda says he doesn't write romance or something in that line. Basically, he doesn't like to bring it in and don't wanna write about any romance. But most stories require some sort of subtle romance plot to move it. This guy, GODA, what he did was, he wrote a very cute little romance story for the sake of the plot and broke the entire community's hearts with this Bad End Musical
THIS LIAR!
He said he don't want to bring in romance coz he knows he will kill us all with heartbreaking stories!
