Captain Nat's Log

Cross Guild for Halloween!!!

Like i cannot emphasize how popular it is

It has an OFFICIAL HOLIDAY IN JAPAN TO CELEBRATE IT'S SERIALIZATION. ONE PIECE DAY, JULY 22ND.

It has a world record for best selling manga series in history (that it beat ITSELF IN YEARS LATER)

It surpassed Batman, and is only just behind Superman as the best selling comic in history, and Superman has decades of history before it (starting 1938, OP started 1997), with Superman selling 600mil and OP selling 510mil copies

It's also just behind Harry Potter in sales numbers, with HP selling over 600mil

In the next decade, it is entirely possible that One Piece will become the best selling book series of all time, novel, comic, manga, or otherwise

MERMAY 2021 - 03 San is for Sanji Sanji - Black Marlin

Fun fact: Said to be one of the fastest species in the ocean with a maximum speed of 130km/h. Black Marlin’s body is meticulously designed to give the most powerful thrust and receive the least drag against water. Look at that crescent (lunate) caudal fin, it’s all science!
