While composing, inspiration suddenly came, causing many authors to change some of the existing details in the manga, typically Oda's changes to One Piece , causing the plot to have some groundbreaking changes.
Oars height
Oars is a giant zombie with serial number 900, he is a quite special mummy in Gekko Moriah's Zombie army. In the Thriller Bark arc, Moriah gave him the shadow he stole from Luffy. The ancient giant race was extremely large, Oars was 3 times larger than a normal giant, so he was also nicknamed "Continental Puller".

However, Oda changed One Piece in the Vivre cards (a set of cards that provide information about the characters in the One Piece manga) and his height changed. According to initial information, the height of Oars reached 39 meters, then in the Vivre card it was adjusted to 60 meters.
Whitebeard Pirates flag symbol
Whitebeard is one of the legendary Pirates, once a famous member of the Four Emperors list. His Pirates are also extremely notorious for both their strength and the places they have visited. The Whitebeard Pirates have a very unique flag, the flag's symbol is bones combined into a plus sign (+) and has a skull in the middle. In particular, the skull also has a mustache that looks exactly like their captain.
But before, Oda originally presented the flag of this Pirates with a swastika (卍) in the middle of the skull. The reason Oda changed One Piece is because the swastika is a symbol that is extremely closely related to temples as well as luck. To prevent the One Piece manga from getting into trouble in the future, Oda changed it to a bone symbol.

Oda changes One Piece: Mochi Mochi no Mi Devil Fruit
The Mochi Mochi no Mi Devil Fruit is the ability to transform the owner's body into a mochi shape at will. This devil fruit is currently possessed by Charlotte Katakuri, the second son of Big Mom's Four Emperors.
Initially, author Oda classified Mochi Mochi no Mivafo as Logia, but a wave of protest arose among the fan community. Because up to now, Logia includes devil fruits related to natural elements, while mochi does not originate from there. Receiving comments from fans, Oda changed One Piece and modified this devil fruit into a special Paramecia type.
Chopper reindeer design
Tony Tony Chopper is a blue-nosed reindeer who lives on Drum Island. He is also the only member born in the Grand Line. With the desire to explore the world and cure more people, Chopper was recruited by Luffy and became the fifth member of the Straw Hat Pirates. Despite having low fighting power, Chopper still has a strong fan base because of his extremely adorable appearance and devoted personality to the other members.
Chopper's character design inherently looks like a wild animal. There are many people who support Chopper's cute design that appeared in the anime version, so author Oda decided to change it. And so we have the current kid doctor.

Vivi's role
Nefertari Vivi is an important character in the Alabasta arc. She is extremely outstanding because of her beautiful appearance and brave personality. Initially, she must fight on her own to defeat Nico Robin, Crocodile, and the agents of Baroque Works, all of whom are attempting to overthrow the monarch's power and rule the kingdom of Alabasta. Luckily, Luffy and his Pirates went to the kingdom and helped her country out of its misery.
Vivi's role is also what Oda changed in One Piece. Initially, the author intended for Vivi to be a normal character with a dynamic ponytail. However, he changed his decision when designing the character Vivi with loose hair. At that time, Oda felt that Vivi was more suitable to be a princess, so she changed her role.

The details Oda changed in One Piece , although not too big, helped the plot move in a more logical and impressive direction. Some details even become iconic, such as Whitebeard's flag symbol or Princess Vivi's role. And you, what do you think about these changes?
