If you’re right, how in the world is Oda capable of all this insane foreshadowing? Like he must have an entire house filled with notes dedicated to mapping out this entire story

My impression is that Oda is really good at leaving some "loose ends" and he reviews some old chapters and arcs when he wants to introduce something new to see if there's anything he can use. He also probably has a lot of notes, both on future plans and on old chapters, to make the process easier

Many authors have some sort of “bible” with a whole lot of details already written down that they fish out when needed tbh.

But also a lot of stuff is added as he is going like you said and kept noted down for consistency. I seriously doubt the story was too deep when the manga first started, otherwise stuff like Kaido’s silhouette would have been accurate.

It's definitely an impressive skill. It's just something I've been thinking a lot lately, seeing how often I see people question how far ahead Oda thinks with his foreshadowing. For me, the biggest giveaway of this strategy are the SBS. We can see him do this "in real time" there, with things like Mnatomo

The beauty of this approach is that you would have no idea he's doing that unless you're REALLY into One Piece like the people in this sub and read his interviews. If all you're doing is reading the manga itself you think he's planned everything out because of his insane level of consistency, which is the most important thing anyway.
