Trivia: There is a reason why geisha Osome's pet is a mouse. Osome (お染) means "dye". About 200 years ago, geishas in Fukagawa region were known to wear a gray-"dyed" kimono. Its color was called Fukagawa Mouse (深川鼠). Oda's research skill is amazing.😋

Red Roc is written as 業火拳銃 in Kanji in Japanese chapter, meaning "Hellfire Fist Pistol". Nice naming for Luffy to punish a villain like Kaido. By the way, 火拳銃 (Red Hawk) means "Fire Fist Pistol". Thus we know Red Roc is an upgraded version of Red Hawk.🔥
