it’s called a Hawser and is the thick cable or rope used for towing/mooring a ship

This is a line designed to hold in place a moving object that can be easily in excess of 10000 tons. AND THEY CAN BREAK FROM THAT TENSION ALONE.

You’ve heard of the term, “Going haywire,” right? Ever spared a thought to why that term exists?

See, time was there was a prototype automatic hay-baler. But this was in that magic period juuust before we really got into standardized sizes. So calibration of the machine was handled manually - a mix of guessing and learning from the results of guessing. If you’ve read Raising Steam by Sir Terry Pratchett you know that many people don’t get to learn from the results of their own guesses, due to being dead.

A poorly calibrated hay-baler had the mechanical strength to smush the hay into a tight bundle, wrap the wire around it, and tie that wire off to maintain the bale’s form. But the pressure of the over-packed hay was a constant outward force. Each bale made by an over-tight baler was potential energy in physical form. We have a word for “potential energy in physical form” and that word is “bomb.”

So sometimes, a man would toss a hay bale and it would land with a twang and the man who’d been reaching down to pick it up where it landed was dead.

Vinsmoke siblings

I wanted each of them to have a royal outfit inspired by a specific European era (since Germa is inspired by France). I also tried to give each one something unique; I’m tired of identical outfits for twins... or quadruplets, in this case.

Royal:

Reiju’s look had to be sexy (given the poison theme—a mix of seduction and sabotage) yet understated. That is why her dress features a hip-level cut typical of the medieval era, but modernized with a side slit.

Ichiji’s style is entirely modern; he needed to project leadership and power, as he is the kingdom's heir.

For Niji, I drew inspiration from his transformation suit—specifically the chest design—which I wanted to retain; I incorporated it into his prince’s outfit, taking cues from 17th- and 18th-century fashion.

Sanji embodies the "old-school Disney prince" aesthetic, with puffed sleeves reminiscent of the 16th century. I played with the concept of a prince who is supposed to rescue the princess, yet is the one who actually needs rescuing.

Yonji’s look is medieval, but I took more creative liberties; he doesn't adhere to strict rules of etiquette, which fits his character perfectly.

Hero suits:

Reiju's job involves assassination through seduction, so she needed to retain an insect-like essence—reflecting her poison abilities—which is why her sleeves resemble butterfly wings. I kept the skirt short but added tall boots to balance the look.

Ichiji is the strategist and leader, so his suit needed to be intimidating; that’s why it features more sharp, angular elements than the others.

Niji is the fastest of the five siblings (thanks to electricity), so I added wheels to emphasize that trait.

Sanji wears his transformation device on his chest, as he is the sibling who retained his emotions. His role is infiltration, so his suit is the most understated of them all.
