Popular American YouTuber and online streamer, IShowSpeed, has been a fan of One Piece for a long time, and he has recently expressed his desire to meet the creator of the series, Eiichiro Oda. Speed has talked about One Piece almost every time he has sparked a stream, and he has made sure that his love for the anime is known to everyone around him, including his fans.
During his ongoing “Speed Does America” nonstop IRL livestream across the U.S., he pointed out that he would love to meet Oda one day, and he doesn’t care if it is an online meetup.

He knows that Oda prefers to keep his identity a secret and thus won’t mind meeting him off-stream. According to @fwprism on X, Speed also pointed out that Oda inspired him to do his worldwide tour.
IShowSpeed x Eiichiro Oda: A Collab That Could Break the Internet
While IShowSpeed wouldn’t mind meeting Oda off-camera just for the experience, if that meeting were ever turned into an official live stream, the hype and viewership would be so massive that it could easily break the internet. There have been instances where Oda has appeared on screen for videos and meetups, especially during the promotion of One Piece Live-Action.
However, he has still kept his face hidden, and maybe he could do the same while collaborating with Speed. Speed is one of the biggest One Piece fans, and their interaction would certainly be worth watching. It could also help One Piece fans find out more details about the series, as the story has entered the final saga, and Oda’s vision for the endgame can be a part of their discussion.
Plus, it will be a new experience for the One Piece mangaka, as he has been entirely busy with his masterpiece. He is not only working on the story for the manga, but he also plays a major role in the production of the One Piece live-action series. Collaborating with Speed could give him a refreshing break from his packed schedule while also allowing him to connect with fans in a fun, unconventional way.
How One Piece Changed Ishowspeed’s Life?
Fans might not know this, but Speed once confessed to the fact that One Piece saved his life. At the beginning of the year, Speed did a Fortnite Stream with Kai Cenat, where he was asked who he would choose between Cristiano Ronaldo and Luffy. The American YouTuber instantly pointed out that he would pick Luffy any day because One Piece actually saved his life.
