One Piece

2002

I was reading a manga when Bian, my friend, came into my room and asked:

“Lo baca apa, Ndre? Apaan nih….? Neee…pek… Nepek… Nepek? Apaan sih Nepek?”

“Itu One Piece kalheee bacanya!”, i soon replied.

I thought there was a problem with his eyes that he couldn’t read the letters O, I, and E on One Piece title. It’s true that the letters were a bit camouflaged since they were represented by letters-look-alike pictures, thus making the leters N, E, P, E, C the most illegible ones. But even by glancing at the title, a moron can tell that it’s One Piece.



Four years later, I realize that it’s indeed hard to read…

My dad was arranging our DVD collections on the shelf while I was taking a bath. I suddenly heard my dad asking:

“Ndre, ini film apaan sih? Neee…pek… Nepek… Nepek? Apaan sih Nepek?”
