So Oda revealed in an SBS that this dude is Kalifa’s dad, and I choose to believe that means that Kalifa’s known Spandam since she’s been a little kid. I can only imagine that the day she realized he was going to be her boss was one of the most miserable of her life

Fun fact: Per the vivre card info (which, granted, have not always been correct) Olvia’s bounty was the exact same as Robin’s. Which, in a way, makes sense, as they’re wanted for committing the same crime.

Why did no one tell me that Tom was indirectly named after Thomas the Tank Engine?

Not to be confused with Batchee, the fly Fullbody put in his soup during the Baratie arc to humiliate Sanji. 

No, I’m not kidding

Bless Oda for interrupting his manga to give us fictional animal fun facts

The really funny thing is per one of the early SBS (dunno which one, I remember  posting it here way back when) is that all One Piece flintlock pistols are multishot weapons, not just Mr. 5′s revolver.

I mean, I’m sure it’s so Oda doesn’t have to worry about characters reloading their guns, but come on.
