I'm Mika, a Japanese One Piece reader in Yokohama. I got hooked on the anime after school and stayed for the manga. Robin is my favourite Straw Hat; Water 7 is the arc I always end up rereading.

Sanji's dream, Shyarly's prophecy and Egghead's drowned world make a tempting endgame theory. But does breaking the Red Line actually connect all four seas?
