Luffy, a 17-year-old boy who gained supernatural abilities by eating a magical fruit, and his ragtag crew of heroic pirates, named the Straw Hats. Luffy's greatest ambition is to obtain the world's ultimate treasure, One Piece, and thereby become the next King of the Pirates.

One Piece is licensed for an English language release in North America by Viz Media. The individual chapters are being serialized in Viz's Shonen Jump manga anthology and being published in tankōbon volumes. In the United Kingdom, the series was being released by Gollancz Manga, it is now released by Viz Media along with all of their other manga previously released by Gollancz Manga. Madman Entertainment is releasing the series in Australia and New Zealand.

The series was adapted into an original video animation (OVA) produced in 1998 by Production I.G. It was later adapted into a full anime series by Toei Animation that premiered in Japan on Fuji Television on October 20, 1999. Since then, the still ongoing series has aired more than four hundred episodes. The anime series was licensed for a heavily edited English dubbed broadcast in North America by 4Kids Entertainment. It has since been licensed for a full Region 1 DVD release and broadcast by Funimation Entertainment in its original and uncut form. In addition to the anime series and OVA, One Piece has been adapted into nine feature films by Toei and multiple video games based on the series have been released.

Do some pools require women to wear one-piece swimsuits rather than bikinis?
Q. A friend mentioned to me that a number of public pools require women to wear one-piece swimsuits rather than bikinis. Do such pools really exist? I mean, surely it's a bit old-fashioned to have rules like that? I know the bikini was banned from some pools when it started to become popular back in the 50s, but surely we've progressed since then?

A. I would still swim at it cuz all I wear is one piece and girls are sexy in them. I don't think there are any pools that regulate that rule anymore though.

Why would a professional murderer wear a red one piece swimsuit?
Q. The character known as Elektra (Marvel Comics) is a professional murderer and her classical comic book incarnation wears only a red one piece swimsuit. But what is the point in such an outfit? It would be too easy for police and other crime fighters to recognize her during investigations about the deaths of her victims. What is more, she would draw too much attention, and drawing attention is the last thing a professional murderer would want during an assassination. Does anybody have a clue on the practical uses of such an outfit for a job like hers?

A. Because she's so hot, everyone stares, or collapses and forgets what they were doing in the first place. Instant cop freeze-o-matic.

What does it mean when it says the serving size is one piece?
Q. I had a philly steak and cheese lean pocket for breakfast, and the box said there was 250 calories in one piece. There are 2 servings per box, and there's 2 lean pockets in one box, so does this mean the whole lean pocket has 250, or a piece of it? I'm confused...
Asked by Crystal Rayne - Tue Jun 24 16:24:52 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Each lean pocket is one serving...you can eat the entire lean pocket and that will be the 250 calories. If you eat the entire box - two lean pockets - then you would have eaten two servings, and 500 calories.
