TO WHERE THEY ARE!!! - Page 46 - SBS Corner D: I have a question. The other day, when I was listening to the radio, they were talking about how in England, when they play (tennis) matches at Wimbledon, it never rains. This is apparently because when they spot rainclouds, they use jets to clear away the rainclouds. But when they do that, the surrounding areas always end up getting up terrible rain. When I heard this, it reminded me of "Dance Powder." I was surprised to hear a true story about controlling the weather. Did you use this example as a model for your idea? O: Raining or not raining has long been a problem of life and death for humankind, and naturally there have always been people who dream of controlling the weather. The idea of the "artificial rain ship" that appears in the Alabasta arc has been brought to reality, but the testing of the experiment costed huge amounts of money, and even when rain falls, there's always the question of "what if it would have rained anyway, if we hadn't done anything?" So there isn't very much actual proof of that. By the way, the model for Dance Powder is actually silver iodide, a material that, when burned, sends up smoke that will increase the size of clouds. In other words, Magic Powder. - Chapter 277 Owari -
