Hi everyone!
I’ve come up with an idea of listing terms and quotes we ONE PIECE fans are familiar with in the form of JAPANESE – ENGLISH bilingual table for those who are learning Japanese/English.
That would be a tough, time-consuming job to complete since ONE PIECE is such a magnificent masterpiece of long and elaborated story full of original terms and moving words, but l’d like to try and add its terms and quotes to the table on step-by-step basis as my curiosity continues.
Whoops, my ambition slipped out.
