When I first really got into One Piece, I was off ill, so I couldn't look it up on the net, so instead i just read the manga while I lay there, half-dead. Once I was better though, I was looking up OP doujinshi and several of the sites I went to mentioned that they had got their info from 'Arlong Park' so I clickied on the linkies… And they didn't work... T_T
After that, I just was reading up on the chapters of One Piece and got to the Arlong arc. I was like wasn't there a site or something on Arlong Park or summit… and I had another look for Arlong Park, searching for it on google, and whatcha know, t'internet cures all, I read topics for a while, and soon joined up.
