The fact that transponder snails are apparently also just captive wild snails. Is……..a choice.

Because what even are the logistics of this? Can all snails become transponder snails? How do they change clothes so quickly? Is there a transponder snail accessory store where you can get matching outfits and accessories for your snail like we do with phones? Are they sold or can you catch one wild? Do you need to train it? Just on what airwaves are they opperating. Is there a radius they can only take a call within? Do you have to pay for connection like are the snail 🐌 plans? Do you have to buy all the accessories the snail would need to change into or are they home made? Or does it just do that. Do you have to have a phone dedicated to people you call often so the snail can constinstently stay dressed that way? Because Doffy had hundreds. Are snail phone accessories a billion dollar business?

And finally what are the ethics on breeding snails soley for communication? And how do you even begin to do taht? Who was the first person to look at a snail go; you, 🐌? I have have plans for you. Who was that crazy bastard.

I headcanon that movies are definitely a thing in the One Piece world, but due to the nature of transponder snails, they're somewhat rare. Like the early days of cinema, yeah you can definitely go to the theater and watch a film (with specially-bred Surround Sound snails), but you can't watch them at home unless you own one of those massive video snails, which most people don't, because the upkeep is very expensive.

Mihawk, unfortunately, is a massive cinephile and very wealthy, and does own a video transponder snail. It roams free on Kuraigana until he needs it.

Watching a film is one of the few times Mihawk will freely express emotion (though he doesn't realize he's doing it, in his mind he's just stating facts). But he's also one of those people with whom it's kind of a pain in the ass to watch movies because he's just so excited about it. He's going to point out every unique camera angle and explain in detail how they did it. He's going to go on a tangent about the musical motifs and where they show up and why. He's going to dissect every word choice, every costume, every lighting decision and is the exact opposite of "sometimes the curtains are just blue."

During the time skip he will force Zoro and Perona to watch movies with him and at first will try to present them as "There's a lesson in this film that it's vital that you learn in order to become stronger. No, I'm not going to tell you what it is, you just have to figure it out for yourself." It's only after the third or fourth time he makes them watch whatever the One Piece world equivalent to Airplane is that they realize he's just trying to share his interests with them.

Dragon working overtime to spritz the snails when the hot weather rolls in.

It’s not as much of a problem on Momoiro as it was on Baltigo. The island of the Okama is not nearly as arid an environment as the previous RA base of operations, but sometimes the summers can get a little dry.

He prefers to conserve his strength for the cause, but really the snails are a crucial part of that cause, and he really could use an excuse to dress down to his casuals, stretch out on the grass, and call in the rain.

A good nap under a balmy summer rain with the snails is always a mood improver.
