Hooray my favorite dorks are back.

...Though if they wanted to blend in maybe they shouldn’t have their crew’s jolly roger visible multiple times on every piece of clothing... Law does the same thing though so I’ll blame him for this

Kiku’s name, 菊/kiku, means ‘chrysanthemum.’ In real life, chrysanthemums are the emblem of the emperor and imperial family, so they’re quite heavily associated with Japan and its rulership. And it’s also just a really pretty name!

The tiny fishes on Bepo's yukata are precious

I guess we didn’t know exactly what kind of ability Hawkins had despite him doing this kind of thing back on Sabaody but while it’s kind of...inherent to the fruit’s power to use sacrifices he’s still very willing to do it.

...Yeah Luffy has no idea how to use that and now Zoro’s concerned as well

[kaizokuou-ni-naru]

The name of the town where Tsuru and Kiku live is おこぼれ/okobore, which means ‘leavings/leftovers,’ which is rather fitting given the scraps all of Wano outside the Flower Capitol has to subside on.

It’s also part of a Japanese saying, おこぼれに預ける/okobore ni azukeru, meaning basically ‘to get only a small share of what someone else is enjoying.’

Zoro..has an expression that's not a) the joy of battle or b) boredom?

Of course it's because of a sword.

Of course.

Hawkins until this point has been...I mean there’s been unintentional humor just because he’s always so serious but this is really the first time that he’s broken that façade and just kind of been like ‘oh whoops I can draw bad cards too lemme try that again!’
