One Piece
So Ian discovered my ancient HK dvds of One Piece and started watching them. Favourite HK line so far:
Luffy: "Ah? A cemetary? I should offer my condolences.... confidence... condoms..."
Genzo: "Condolences is fine."
Some people hate HKs for the crappy translations, I watch HKs for them... (as Col Smoker announces that he 'ate the smoking nuts' to Luffy on screen...)
Currently re-reading the manga, since I'd never really read past the Alabasta arc before. Averaging 100 chapters a day, just finished the Skypiea arc.
But noticed something kinda interesting. At the beginning, after Coby and Luffy have defeated Alvida, Luffy says that he's looking for crew members, specfically Zoro, who is being held captive.
Dunno about the anime, but in the manga, Zoro's mentioned twice earlier in the chapter. The first time out of Luffy's earshot, and again by Alvida upon meeting Luffy, who simply states that Luffy is not Zoro. Yet Luffy not only knows who Zoro is, but knows where he's at, the same island Coby is heading towards.
Which means Luffy had heard of Zoro before setting sail, and had already decided on him as a Nakama, ‘if he is a good guy’.
This is interesting because it's the only break in a pattern. Luffy and Zoro need a navigator, they run across Nami. They need a ship, they acquire both the Going Merry and Ussop. They realise they need a cook, and Johnny directs them to Sanji. They need a doctor, they meet Chopper.
With the exception of Zoro, who Luffy purposesly goes and gets, the crew is gathered as they're needed.
-I'm sure there's a fic in there, but I'm not sure exactly what.
