Hello ;D

I'm Rona. I'm not really sure what I want to say here, but I'll be floating around and adding stuff mainly to the One Piece Wiki, since I love One Piece so much. I do small updates to info about some characters, and also have been improving the prose written in the OP Wiki for some time, but I only just signed up now. :(

I love drawing too! But that's another story.

I will also eventually figure out how to make this user page more aesthetically appealing...eventually.

I'm a One Piece Fan
Has spoilers below for parts of series, so don't read if you're scared D:

I can't really remember when I first got into One Piece...wait, I lied. I remember! It was actually when I first read the American Shonen Jump series, back when One Piece was first being introduced in the magazine, that I saw One Piece. My friends used to mock its artwork, but I heralded it as a truly magnificent example of originality. I still think to this day that, besides the amazing plot and characters, One Piece's art style is one of its best parts. Especially his creature-art.

I read One Piece back BEFORE Zoro was renamed "Zolo"! I mean, what's a Zolo? A kind of vegetable?

After I discovered this intriguing (but relatively unknown at the time) new manga, I did some research and realized that there was indeed an anime series for it. It just so happened that while I was walking through a stash of imported (and possibly boot-legged...) DVDs I found a few bundles of One Piece. At this point, since it was around the year 2001 the 4Kids dub wasn't even heard of yet, so I grabbed the (possibly boot-legged...) sets of One Piece and popped them in my DVD player. The language dub, although not English, wasn't very up-to-par either...but when I switched on the original Japanese voices, I was completely spell-bound. I'll admit that at first, Luffy's voice shocked and annoyed me - Mayumi Tanaka's voice does have its own rather unique pitches - but after just a few moments, I knew that I had just introduced myself to a mind-blowingly amazing new series. I absolutely love Luffy's voice now, for one thing; his quirky, slightly dim, but lovable personality is wonderfully enhanced by his incredible voice actor, especially notable when he sings his Island songs. One Piece itself has its share of famous seiyuu, after all. Skypiea's Enel was voiced by the same Japanese seiyuu who did Sephiroth from FFVII, Naraku from Inuyasha, and Dante from the DMC Animated series. Rob Lucci (one of my favorite characters...*_*) was voiced by Tomokazu Seki, who has this huge incredibly long winding list of credits to his name...

I wish more people would read and watch One Piece. I hate it when people overlook the series because it's "long". I got annoyed at Inuyasha for its length, but One Piece has so many interweaving plots and mysteries that I can't see how one would get bored so easily. I, for one, am still waiting to see Gol D. Roger's significance in the world for finding One Piece, what role he had in being able to decipher Poneglyphs, what that "Will of the D." really means, and what the Ancient Kingdom really wanted the world to know about how the World Government came to power. And why the Pluton and Poseidon ships are so powerful. And what the "One Piece" really is. x)

I also hate it when people use the 4Kids version of One Piece as the basis for the reason why they won't touch One Piece...ehh. I've met quite a few of these individuals.

I'll stop typing now...

About Rona
Interesting how my "About Me" section comes after a long section about my love of One Piece...on an About Me page...anyways...

I love drawing and tinkering with Photoshop. I aspire to get a tablet one day so I can draw even better in Photoshop. I am a collecting-otaku to some extent, since I love having figurines of my favorite characters on my shelf (Rob Lucci figures, please? Give them to me! D:) and I love collecting imported One Piece manga, Japanese, and all.

I loved the pre-Squeenix Final Fantasys, namely Final Fantasy VII. I also love Chrono Trigger (LOVE LOVE) and the pre-Squeenix Kingdom Hearts ( That's before Chain of Memories and yes, even before KHII...don't ask why).

Mmm...that's all for now x)
