Escape from the Island

SBS question corner page. A reader asks about chapter 526, page 5, panel 4, where Luffy slips into Impel Down and appears to be in Hancock's skirt rather than her mantle, joking that the inside of a skirt is holy ground. Oda says Luffy was hiding inside her China dress and that if the mantle fluttered he would have been found immediately, while tightly hiding under the clothes would have meant certain death if discovered. Another reader asks whether a raccoon and a reindeer would give birth to Chopper, and Oda says yes while pretending his nosebleed came from falling down. A third reader asks how Crocodile had his own clothes and cigar after being freed. Oda explains that prisoners' belongings are stored somewhere, Kamaland residents steal from there, and once the escapees stopped by Kamaland, prisoners could get someone's clothes; Crocodile is very stylish.
