  • Might I introduce you to the works of Maurice Leblanc and his most famous character, the gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, codifier of the phantom thief trope.

    He would sent a message telling his victim that he planned to steal their most valuable treasure, and then would leave a letter behind afterwards explaining exactly how he did it.

    Mostly known outside of France today from his appearance as Joker’s initially Persona in Persona 5, and his Franco-Japanese grandson, Lupin the Third.














  • The short version is “that’s not how Reverse Mountain works.”

    The long version is that Reverse Mountain pulls in from the four Blue Seas and spits you out in Paradise (the first half of the Grand Line). Even if you could sail backwards through Reverse Mountain (you can’t, the water flow is insanely fast), you’d just end up back in one of the four Blue Seas.

    Also, the One Piece isn’t “at the end of the Grand Line”, it’s on Laugh Tale, an island located somewhere in the New World (the second half of the Grand Line) that can only be located using the four Road Poneglyphs. Even if you did end up taking a shortcut to the New World, you still couldn’t find Laugh Tale without the Poneglyphs.
