What the...?! Have you ever seen a two-digit route designation on an #NYCsubway car?
At present, numbered train lines run from 1 to 7. Though both an 8 and a 9 train did exist (and some routes used even higher numbers on the BMT pre-1967), this purple number 11 bullet is something else entirely. -

No finishing move is declared. And yet, for anyone who has ever been tested by someone who simply was not worth their time, the Mocktown bar scene on the island of Jaya might be the most quietly powerful moment in the entire series. Luffy and Zoro sit there, drinks in hand, while Bellamy and his crew hurl insults at […] -
