He lost one the first time, gained one the second time, took one the third time, and give one away.

Minato Shobo

We’re doing a One Piece version of Turtle Soup!!

The rules are that I’ll ask questions limited to One Piece-related topics, and I’ll answer with a “yes” or “no.”

Use that as a hint to find the correct answer.

Now, here’s the question!

The first time, he lost one, the second time, he gained one. The third time, he took one and gave one back.

What does this mean?

Is “he” a specific character?

Am I correct in this context to refer to “one person” in One Piece?

Minato Shobo

Yes, that’s correct.

Yumekawa

When you say “lost/gained one,” do you mean an actual object?

(I mean a Devil Fruit, weapon, or other item.)

Minato Shobo

No, it exists, but it’s not an item.

Shinshinmaru

If it exists but is “not an object,”

does it refer to something like a concept, position, status, title, or relationship?

Can we consider this an “intangible thing”?

Minato Shobo

No

It’s a living thing. By “not a thing,” I mean it’s not an item or something inanimate.

Origami Cloud

A living thing… so,

Is it correct to interpret the things he “lost/gained/stole/gave” as animals, humans, or living things?

Minato Shobo

Yes

Hotaruzaka

Is that “living thing”

a human?

Minato Shobo

Yes, it is a human (but only the first and second times). However, the third time it’s not a living thing, it’s an item.

Numano Ayu

Let me confirm.

The first and second times he loses and gains a “human.”

But the third time he steals and gives an “object.”

What I’m asking here is…

Did the first, second, and third times all involve the same person and the same sequence of events?

Minato Shobo

Yes

Kasumibashi

Losing a human → Gaining a human → Stealing and giving an object…

This seems a bit like “joining, leaving, and exchanging objects”…

I just want to confirm:

Is this event clearly depicted in the main story?

Minato Shobo

Yes

Hotaruzaka

Who is the “human” lost the first time and the “human” gained the second time?

Are they the same person?

Minato Shobo

Yes

Is the “person lost and returned” a member of the Straw Hat Pirates?

Minato Shobo

Yes, that’s right!

Numano Ayu

As for the “member of the Straw Hat Pirates who was lost once and returned again,”

is there a scene in the story where they “appeared dead but were actually alive”?

Minato Shobo

No, that’s not the case.

Tsukiyomi

Did this exchange happen immediately after a battle?

Minato Shoten

Yes

Koyorido

Is the third “taking” directly related to the battle itself?

Minato Shoten

No. It happened immediately after the battle.

Kuragetsu Yura

Is the “object” you took and given the third time related to a companion?

Minato Shoten

No. It’s related to an enemy.

Yumeno Kotori

Is that object an important item or weapon in battle?

Minato Shoten

No

Shinshinmaru

Was the third object not intended for use in battle, but was given to you as a result?

Minato Shoten

Yes

Hinatazaka

Is that object not used for attack or defense, but for information or communication?

Minato Shoten

No

Is the third object you took and given the property of a specific person?

Minato Shoten

Yes

Numano Ayu

Was that object taken by Luffy or the Straw Hat Pirates?

Minato Shobo

Yes

Tsukiyomi

Was that object something you took directly from the enemy during battle?

Minato Shobo

No

Koyorido

Was it something you ‘eventually obtained’ from the enemy after the battle?

Minato Shobo

Yes

Kuragetsu Yura: “Was that object something the enemy left behind or misplaced after the battle?”

Answer: No

Hanamura Hana

Is that object a flag, emblem, or some other symbol of your pirate crew?

Minato Shobo

Yes

Hanamura Hana

Got it!

The answer is Davy Back Fight!!

Minato Shobo

Correct!!!

Please explain in more detail.

Shinshinmaru

You got it right!!! !!! !!!

Hanamura Hana

This “he” is Luffy,

and the first one he lost was Chopper,

the second one he got was Chopper,

and the last one he stole and gave back was the pirate flag of the Foxy Pirates!

Koyorido

I see.

Hinatazaka

Oh!!

Yumeno Kotori

That’s it!
