AND HOW EXACTLY DO YOU PLAN ON ACCOMPLISHING THAT, EHI YOU SAID YOU'RE GONNA SAVE HERI" A note reads "HOLD'EM'S STOMACH KAMIJIRO" with the clarification that "KAMI" means bite and "JIRO" is a generic name for the second son of a family.

Chapter 917 References cont. Kaido’s “most trusted warriors/right-hand men”: The Japanese word used to describe the 3 calamities is 懐刀 (futokoro-gatana), which means pocket knife. It is a short dagger many lords and masters, as well as women, keep inside their clothes for self-defense. As they depend on the dagger to protect themselves, it became a way to describe ones most trusted and powerful subordinates. Left: A pocket knife designed for a woman. Right: A pocket knife of the Tokugawa Clan. Background shows a beach scene with Nami waving, Zoro, and Sanji in silhouette.
17
Chapter 917 References. The “Paradise” Farm: In the Japanese version, the “paradise farm” is known as 桃源農園 (Tougen Nouen). This comes from the word 桃源郷 (Tougenkyou), which means “peach-origin-hometown”. It originates from a Chinese fable, and unlike the vague term “paradise”, it paints a specific picture of a holy paradise of beautiful unspoiled peach blossoms. Unfortunately, there is no English translation that captures the full meaning and image. Some common translations include paradise, utopia, eden, shang-ri la. A large photo shows a vast field of blooming pink peach trees with mountains in the distance.
18
Chapter 917 References. Trivia: A manga panel shows a close-up of a grinning character with the dialogue “IS THAT SOI ♡” and “SHE SMILES JUST LIKE A HORSE, TOO!!”. I didn’t know whether to include this one or not as it might give people misunderstandings, but just as a fun fact: Speed’s subordinates describe her as “horse-like”. The word used is 馬並 (uma-nami). Colloquially, it is common to use the word 馬並み (uma-nami) to describe someone with a “big package”. Although I am sure that this is not Oda’s intention, I could not help but make the inference so I thought I’d share (lol).
