    This page features a behind-the-scenes look titled "THE ROAD TO AXE-HAND MORGAN'S FIRST APPEARANCE". Eiichiro Oda explains his design process for Captain Morgan, noting that he created Helmeppo first and wanted Morgan to have a cleft chin and crazy hair to show he is the father. Early sketches show Morgan with different hairstyles and a pipe, originally named "Chop" ("Naval Captain Chop" or "Sailor Chop"). Oda mentions he redesigned Morgan to look cooler after an editor told him the original design looked lame.
