Might I introduce you to the works of Maurice Leblanc and his most famous character, the gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, codifier of the phantom thief trope.

He would sent a message telling his victim that he planned to steal their most valuable treasure, and then would leave a letter behind afterwards explaining exactly how he did it.

Mostly known outside of France today from his appearance as Joker’s initially Persona in Persona 5, and his Franco-Japanese grandson, Lupin the Third.

Which is French for “steal something valuable in the most obvious way to show people how smart you are”.

The kind of code an idiot would put on their luggage.

Something I came across after having to have glass removed from my hand: there’s no specific term for a doctor that specializes in hands.

And the obligatory response to the “tomato-based fruit salad” response: “found the bard!”

While endangering a string of orphan boys who you keep dressing up in tight green booty shorts… for reasons.

Personally a fan of the Sonic Screwdriver, because I like my drinks like I like my ladies: sweet, bubbly, geeky as hell, and able to knock my ass out.

2 parts Sprite

2 parts orange juice

1 part vanilla vodka

1 part Blue Curaçao

Combine and serve in a highball glass on the rocks.

Not quite, with age comes experience. Learning from that experience is wisdom.

The short version is “that’s not how Reverse Mountain works.”

The long version is that Reverse Mountain pulls in from the four Blue Seas and spits you out in Paradise (the first half of the Grand Line). Even if you could sail backwards through Reverse Mountain (you can’t, the water flow is insanely fast), you’d just end up back in one of the four Blue Seas.

Also, the One Piece isn’t “at the end of the Grand Line”, it’s on Laugh Tale, an island located somewhere in the New World (the second half of the Grand Line) that can only be located using the four Road Poneglyphs. Even if you did end up taking a shortcut to the New World, you still couldn’t find Laugh Tale without the Poneglyphs.

Which is a bit fucking overkill given that the level cap in game is 12.
