I think it’s unknown, though it might depend on which iteration of the Phantom Troupe is used. Here’s a basic rundown of what everyone to have canonically been a Troupe member could do.

• Chrollo is too much of a wild card, since his main ability Skill Hunter is about stealing other people’s abilities. If he still has the Fun Fun cloth, he could potentially use it to take some ships out of the equation (unless the ships are simply too big for that).

• Nobunaga’s ability has so far not been shown in the series. I don’t think his sword would be able to take down an entire battleship, though.

• Feitan’s ability gets stronger the more damage he receives. If he is able to survive a cannonball, it might be the right amount of damage to make his Pain Packer strong enough to burn the ships to ash (and evaporate the water that the ships would be in).

• Machi could theoretically attach her threads to a ship’s cannon (thus giving her some control over where it points) or to a member of a ship’s crew, but I don’t know how likely that would be to happen. Her threads also get weaker the longer they are.

• Hisoka could potentially use his ability to capture cannonballs and fling them back (provided he can make his Bungee Gum big enough) or maybe use his bungee gum on the cannons and control their direction.

• Kalluto’s ability (he replaces Hisoka who left) involves using a paper fan to direct the movement of confetti. While his fan itself has been able to cut through steel, it’s possible that battleships might simply be too big for him to cut and destroy with his Dance of the Serpent’s Bite. He’s also a professional assassin and, if he gets on a ship, could make quick work of the crew.

• Phinks’ ability Ripper Cyclotron is just a punch that gets stronger the more he winds up his arm. This is useless unless the ship is within close-quarters range.

• Shalnark could theoretically plug one of his antennae into people aboard a ship and make them attack other ships, but whether he could send the antennae across the required range is unclear.

• Franklin’s ability makes him fire bullets out of his fingers. I’m not confident that this would be able to knock back or break a cannonball, much less destroy something as big as a battleship.

• Shizuku could use her vacuum to suck up the water and maybe the boats.

• Pakunoda’s ability is useless in this situation.

• Bonolenov’s ability Battle Cantabile: Jupiter involves him spinning around and then forming a giant sphere resembling the planet Jupiter to smother the target. While this most likely could work on a battleship, I’m not sure about his capability to safely get the necessary setup.

• Uvogin is, for all intents and purposes here, basically a stronger Phinks without the unique condition of Phinks’ ability. His Big Bang Impact is basically just a super powerful punch. He has been shown taking an anti-tank rocket launcher and getting off unscathed (or very close to it).

• Illumi (who replaced Uvogin after his death) has an ability that is more-or-less the same as Shalnark’s: stick a needle into the target and control what they do). He is also a professional assassin.

• Kortopi’s ability Gallery Fake makes copies of things he touches, so he could copy the battleships if he manages to touch one.

An alphabet is a writing system where each written character represents a sound. Vowel and consonant sounds are more-or-less treated equal. Example: Greek.

An abjad has each character represent a consonant sound, and vowels are typically not represented orthographically. Examples include the Hebrew and Phoenician scripts.

A syllabary has the entire syllable taken as one unit and assigned a written character. The Japanese writing system is largely an example of this.

A logographic writing system has written characters assigned to morphemes. The relationship between the morpheme’s pronunciation and the assigned written character is hard for me to describe, but with Chinese characters (an example of a logography), graphemes with related pronunciations commonly have similar parts.

I don’t know what an abugida is and thus won’t provide a description, but I do know that Devanagari and the Thai script are examples.

I know I previously wrote a post on the Poneglyph script, but I don’t remember what it said. I’m pretty sure it isn’t an alphabet or abjad, though.

Dark Blade Pirates (named after the Yu-Gi-Oh card)

A is still the overwhelming majority.

So far 10% of people hear B.

Fun fact: If you look up the lyrics to We Are, there’s a good chance you’ll encounter B (assuming you don’t encounter the Japanese lyrics or their translation)

Chopper: I think Pokémon Let’s Go Eevee

@Rockstar D. Charys When you listen to the song, do you hear A: “That legendary place at the end of the map reveals/it’s only legendary until someone proves it real.”

Or B: “That legendary place that the end of the map reveals/is only legendary until someone proves it real.”

Why’d you vote then?

I’ve heard it several times on Netflix and don’t really recall hearing B that much

When you listen to the song, do you hear A: “That legendary place at the end of the map reveals/it’s only legendary until someone proves it real.”

Or B: “That legendary place that the end of the map reveals/is only legendary until someone proves it real.”

Grammatically, A has the phrase “That legendary place at the end of the map” as the subject of “reveals”, meaning that the legendary place itself reveals that “it’s only legendary until someone proves it real.”

B has “That legendary place” as the subject of the main clause, and adds “that the end of the map reveals” as a relative clause that provides more information about the legendary place. The end of the map reveals the legendary place, and the legendary place “is only legendary until someone proves it real.”

A stands for “That legendary place at the end of the map reveals/it’s only legendary until someone proves it real.”

B stands for “That legendary place that the end of the map reveals/is only legendary until someone proves it real.”

While A has the words “at” and “it’s”, B has the words “that” and “is”.

For the last couple of episodes, the credits refer to the theme song as We Are (and the wiki lists them as such), even though the sound I actually hear is still Jungle P.

I finished all 381 episodes available on Netflix
