“There are a lot of flashback scenes in One Piece, but that’s because there is a special feeling I want to convey through them. I’d like to think that by showing you the characters when they were children, they could become like your childhood friends. […] As you watch over their growth like this, I feel that a deep bond has been formed between all of you and Luffy and his friends.” – Oda Eiichiro

Luffy: do you think everyone was Kung fu fighting?
Usopp: s’what the song says isn’t it?
Law: I’ll never say this again but Luffys right. it’s pretty improbable that everyone was Kung fu fighting.
Zoro: i don’t know, maybe they were in a class or somethin?
Sanji: or a fight and everyone just happened to take karate lessons?
Franky: It’s a good theory but preeetttyyy unlikely.
Brook: Maybe it was a class like Zoro said?
Zoro: To break my own point, they’d have to all be professionals, you ever seen a dojo of white belts? Chaos.
Luffy: What about fast as lightning? Think they all knew shave?
Law: Shave is slower than lightning.
Luffy: i get that, but what if you’d never seen lightning just heard it was fast?
