Give us your guidance...!!! (Note: Pantri seems to be either the title they use for "Priest", or the name of the holyman himself.

Well you thought wrong. So, so wrong. I've just been waiting for my chance this entire time. Ahh... What a great feeling. You can't take over my section anymore!! I'd like to see you TRY!! Bring it on!! D: Oda-sensei. There's something that has been nagging me since I started reading One Piece. Why don't Luffy or Zoro or the other guys have any armpit hair?! I mean, I'm younger than Luffy, but I've got HELLA ARMPIT HAIR. So why don't they?! (T_T) by No Seriously, Why Not? O: YOU MEAN I CAN DRAW IT? Seriously, if you all really want to see it, I can draw that on there. Like a forest. D: What do Zoro's new special attacks "__ Pound Cannon" mean? Penname Mikan O: "12 lb cannons" and "24 lb cannons," for instance, are ways of naming or categorizing cannons. The number refers to the weight of the cannonballs. Even a 12 lb cannon will weigh over a ton by itself. 1 lb = ~0.45 kg Just don't get them mixed up with "Fond de veau." That has to do with French food. Caption: 12 lb cannon (Note: Yes, Fond de veau is a Japanese pun pronunciation on "__ pondo hou," the spelling for "__ lb cannon." Even in Japanese, it's a stretch.) - Chapter 287 End -
