D: Oda-sensei, I've been wondering about something.  What country are Luffy and the others from?  In Social Studies class, we learned that
	 "A Japanese pirate is called a wakou".  Is that like a direct interpretation into Japanese?  Or is this manga completely unique 
	in that respect?  Please tell me.  PN Kuroman.
O: Hmmm.  First of all, Luffy's crew is all "No-Nationality Men".  You can't say what country they come from.  And then, "wakou".  Yes.
	A long time ago, there were men in Japan called "wakou" that were basically "pirates".  Wakous would get into their boats and 
	attack the Korean peninsula and Chinese mainland.  Sometimes in your textbooks, it talks about "expeditions" to Korea, but that 
	was really pirates.  They were there to loot and plunder and all that.  Yeah, they were bad guys.  There is another famous group 
	of people around the Inland Sea called "Murakami Suigun" that were also pirates.  They have been a big influence on Japan 
	throughout its history.  But they don't get a whole lot of recognition for that.  A long time ago, I was researching the 
	differences between "wakou" and "suigun", but then there were even "suigun" called "wakou", so I figured, why do you need to draw 
	the line?  Basically, Japan has had a lot of "pirates".

Japanese Pirate (Roughly): Avast, ye landlubber.  (japanese sword)
			   Gimme yer treasure.

D: WHAT'S THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE OKAMA WAY?
