i'd go with konis. the kana for the sound "ko" or "co" is written in western language "ko", so i feel better with it, but i think it's very subjective and you can nearly do what you can (except if oda wrote it somewhere in westerrn language, so we'd have the right answer)

You're question confuses me. If you have just seen the K-F version of this episode, why are you asking us how she is called there? Shouldn't you be the one to tell us how she is called since you've already seen this ep? :huh:

Hey,fellows!Someone explained in the manga what is an "Buster Call"?ItÂ´s a ship?

Zephos

The Buster Call….
Is when an order is sent out for a massive bombardment from the Marines on a certain target.
Its apparently quite a horrible thing to have thrown at you.

**I always interpreted the Pol to be of the exact same meaning as in the word "Interpol". And there the pol is actually short for police.

Cipher on the other hand is just another term for number. So if IÂ´m not interpreting things completely different it is actually "Number Police".

If I recall…..from the chapter discussions....

It was more like "Code Police".

Thank you^^ Wow…that look very dangerous...

Really? Thanks for clearing that up. Wasn't around the forums back then. :D

However "code" and "number" aren't necessarily things that negate each other. ;)

[snapback]97920[/snapback]_

_Zephos already explained it so I'll just at the specifics about it to the info he gave you already.

The Buster Call is a fleet of ten marine warships. It is assumed that these ships are the most powerful that the marine has or at least that they are superior to regular marine ships.
Other then the 10 warships there's of course lots of marine staff on board and 5 marine Vice-Admirals. Vice-Admirals are dudes like Garp from the Coby and Helmeppo side story. They are very strong dudes.

I think that's it. :)_

Janken Jack

What exactly is a "don?" Because in Franky's flashback, Tom says that word a lot. Like how he marks his ships "with a don," but then, he also used it once in just a normal sentence. Anyone know what it means?

Buccaneer

It's a sound effect that manga-ka like Oda usually for impressive shots. Not too sure what Tom meant by it. Someone translated it similar to "like whoa" though, and that was cool.

Janken Jack

Hmm, so it's just Oda being Oda?

How old Smoker is? Just wanted to know. I suppose he's something around 30 because he was about 8-10 years old when he saw Gold Roger, I suppose and it was 22 years ago..@-@ If anyone knows pease inform me. :D

I've got a question, and no one will answer me. What the heck is Nami's Happiness Punch?

Janken Jack

I'm not sure about the manga, but in episode 128, during the bath scene, all of the guys (including Igaram and Cobra) are peeping over at the girl's bath. Nami, the lover of money she is, knows what they want to see and at the price of 100 thousand berries each, she removes her towel and reveals her goods, if you know what I mean.

You kinda answered your own question there

However "code" and "number" aren't necessarily things that negate each other. ;)

For me cipher really sounds like number, but that's probably because in dutch it's "cijfer" which is the numbers from 0..9. ("chiffres" in french) However in my course of encoding theory (well actually development of secure software) we have "plaintext (input text) => ciphertext (encoded text)" so a cipher can also be an encoded piece of information.

However I'd probably go with "numbered pol(ice)" too, since they are numbered from 1-9.

What colors is Usopp's wristband? I'm thinking about cosplaying as him.

Battle Franky

It's like a blue & white, stripe design. I think it's on his left arm.

Irresistiblement

Quick question, which of the two Square Sisters is Kiwi and which is Mozu? I'm afraid that I always confuse the two.

wintergt

Kiwi's the one with the glasses

Nami_67

who is she again? i kno shes from the alabasuta episodes but i cant rememebr anything else >_>

Battle Franky

Her name is Rasa. She's a sand sled navigator, from the Barbaro Sand Pirates.

Ivotas

A minor correction, itÂ´s the Barbarossa Sand Pirates. I know that you are aware of that Battle Franky, but IÂ´m sure that most people who might check this thread are not. ThatÂ´s why I had to be so picky.

Battle Franky

Well, they're one in the same really. He initially refers to them as the 'Barbaro Sand Pirares' which is just the shortening of his name, Barbarossa.

So, yeh… the 'Barbaro/Barbarossa, Sand Pirates', same diff.

Janken Jack

I've been wondering this for a while. Where did Oda come up with Miss Goldenweek's paint symbol? Has it ever been used in something else or does Oda ever mention it in an SBS?

megakazul

Is this Nami?

Or is it just a random girl in Shanks's crew?

It vaguely looks like a wave, with a moon as a backround.

Its sort of abstract, like Nami's tattoo of a "windmill and a tangerine", so my guess is that Oda probably made it up.

Buccaneer

@jackvance:

Actually, you got it backwards.

Kiwi - Underwear, curled bangs, necklace
Mos - Glasses, sharp hairline, shorts, neck….bushy thing

sanji-desu

I thought kiwi was the one with the green eyes (cause of the fruit XD). I always get them confused.

Irresistiblement

Yeah, if you reread vol. 37, chapter 352 when the Square Sisters get hurt by the CP9, Franky clearly addresses them seperately-

So, Mozu has the glasses and funky feathery-scarf, and Kiwi has the tanktop.

Iceberg

So, what are these 3 powers that command the Grand Line anyway?

One of them are the shichibukai, the other are the strong marine guys like Ao Kiji and what's the third? The Gorousei ?!?

Thedevil

We dont know. what is Gorousei and i think there were topics about that

Yep, that's Nami. In the early designs of One Piece, Zoro was once Buggy's henchman, so it wouldn't surprise me if Oda once planned for Nami to join Shanks.

As for the Colors Trap:
Oda mentioned this in the SBS. I did this out of memory (pathetic, isn't it T_T)
The C.T. stands for Colors Trap. The T curles up while the C does a PacMan. Voila! There's the symbol.

Wow really? I never knew that. Huh, so you can learn something new everyday. Also, never knew about the colour trap symbols. Thanks for the info.

Ivotas

True about the Zoro thing but I doubt that the Nami/Red Hair Pirates thing hold any water.

In the first two Romance Dawn versions that came before One Piece, Luffy always met a girl that had some resemblance to Nami. So in this early concepts this girl had some significant meaning to Oda so I think that he just featured here in the first spread as a little goodie for people whoÂ´ve read Romance Dawn. It was the very first chapter after all. =)

Arska

Who is older, Zoro or Sanji? 0_o

Ivotas

I think it was Sanji, but only by a couple of monthÂ´s.

*Vivi*

Sanji, his birthday is in March or May (if I'm not mistaken…) while Zoro's in November. Just a couple of months then ;)

i have a question what are the 6 movies about. also isnt some1 subbing the 6th movie

@warp:

WouldnÂ´t such a question better require itÂ´s own thread in the anime section instead of beeing asked in the "who/what/where is this?" thread?

warp

yea i thought i about that but why was space when u can ask it hear?

Ivotas

Erm, do I interpret the question correctly that you wanted to know why to waste space while it could be asked here?

If so then the answer is simple in this thread you can ask a "who/what/where" question that can easily be answered by many people.

But asking specific infoÂ´s about all of the movies is much more information then that and probably wonÂ´t be answered in just one post. Furthermore it can distract the innitial idea of the thread into a completely different direction.

A seperate thread in the anime section makes much more sense because I really think that you can expect a couple of replies followed by some discussions there.

MonkeyD.Luffy_

What does "ennies lobby" mean? does it have some kind of deep meaning or is it something oda made up ? sry if this question has been answered or anythinn.

Matt

Just the name of the marine hq for sentencing criminals. No other meaning has been revealed so far if there is one.

Gunbunny

I have a question, I got this bought this card(I think it's from set 5 of the card game.) I have no clue who he is (I think his name is Saga), can anyone help me? Is he from a movie?
Thanks,
Gunbunny

StrawHatLuffy

Yep, his name is Saga from OP Movie 5. He is, according to the movie, Zoro's childhood friend.

warp

what is that writing on the bootom of the wanted poster. u see scribles in the left coner of all wanted posters. is it there description of what crimes they have done

Zephos

They could be anything, thats an unanswerable question.

*Vivi*

I know it's a stupid question to ask at the moment… but I need to explain it to someone and can't really come to terms with a good explaination...
Can someone describe for me exactly what the Buster Call is? Thanks :)
