[19] The search for Zoro's underwear

Voices have a fun idea for a One Piece story, involving Tashigi chasing after Zoro.
The only problem is, the several Zoro shrines we tried did not give us the information we craved. (Although I did like the comparison of Zoro and Luffy's intelligence, and noting that he keeps stealing his outfits.)
Thank goodness for Manga Translations. ^_^ (thank you thank you thank you)

First off, that green obi-sash-thingie he wears is called a 'Haramaki'. (actually got this off the viz translation and researched it)
I knew that along time ago, but re-reading the information and re-discovering that the people who usually wear these are;
A: Pregnant Women
or
B: Elderly,
we're just gonna sit back and try not to laugh, thanks.

... NO PREGGER ZORO FICS, NEECHAN!!! >_< Ew! Ew! Ew! Stick with the takoyaki.... Tentacles good. *nods*

Haramaki is also a type of armour that is open in the back, usually small scales woven together to form armour.

Second off, his swords. (yes, he's got 3 swords, but no one knew what the names were)

The blade he got from Kuina: (white sword) "Wadou Ichimonji" 'Straight Line of Harmony' (one of the 21 Oo-Wazamono or 'Sharpest Swords')
Cursed blade (black?): "Sandai-Kitetsu" or '3rd Generation Deamon Splitter' (first generation Deamon is one of the 12 Saijou-Oo-Wazamono or 'Sharpest of the Sharp')
The Ryou-Wazamono (red?): "Yukibashiri" or 'Snow Run' (one of the 50 Ryou-Wazamono or 'Well Sharpened Swords')

At the end of the Alabasta Arc, he's worth 60 Million Bellies, I think he was worth 15 Million before that. (Luffy is 100 Million and 30 Million, respectively)

Kinda makes me realise just how much we miss researching strange stuff for a story ^^;;

Ah, yes... Random musing of the day...
Never Quote Rocky Horror Picture Show Call Lines at Work. *Nods*

[EDIT]: ADV Films is Looking for Translators, BTW. Either Japanese to English or Korean to English. Just a thought for some of you.

Okay, I give up...

what the heck are the numbers you have in some of the titles of your entries for? They seem to be counting down and it's making me very nervous.

Hanse: Maybe it's till a holiday?
Heero04: A self-destruct?
Dorothy04: The revolution of the world?
Sadako: 7 days...
Jaelle: AAAAAHHHH!!! Get her OUT of here!!!
The Count: 19! 19 vunderful entries! Ah, ah, ah, ahhhh!!!
Hanse: *sigh* It's another normal day in Jaelle's head.

:: BOOM! ::

*laughs*

Is a countdown to my vacation, actually. Around 40 days (it just happens that way), I generally put up a post-it note on my monitor at work to count down the days 'till we leave. It carries over to the LJ as a mini-celebration. ^^;;

You'll see another one in the spring, countdown to Japan. For this one, flying out to meet Ysabet. ^______^ (And Bridget and Morgan and-)

I like inside your head! *laughs*

YOU! Oh! *slaps head* Jaelle!
Been meaning to ask, can we please put your Pink Elephants fic under 'Treasure' on mischif.net?

-ICKA!

Hanse: However it sometimes gets a bit crowded in here.
Dorothy04: And the wallpaper is really, _really_ ugly.

YOU! Oh! *slaps head* Jaelle!

Correct!

OK....I do not write MPREG fics! NO WAY! Tentacles...fine...I have a tentacle monster...but no preggy. Btw...didn't all those popups drive you nuts? And the link for Zoro led to nothing. Do I need to use IE instead of Netscape?

CALL ME! ;)

*laughs* Yeah, the pop ups were annoying, but for the info, I'm willing to put up with it.
The guy also did manga 1-10 of Detective Conan. ^__^

I know you don't write Mpreg fics, but had to head the plunnies off at the pass. ^^;; And if it crossed my mind, it prolly crossed yours as well.

((GLOMPS!))
