And thus, one more is needed for this great battle! Luffy must harness his strength and summon a being of great power! He's faster than lightning, and noone, you see, is smarter than he.

They call him... Flipper.

Considering the inability to swim, flipper might be the ideal animal companion for Luffy.

Hence Laboon

Then I suppose it's time... to win one for the Flipper.

I thought you were going to say luffy needs to cast 'summon bigger fish'.

And this isn't Darths and Droids.

Time for a SHOWDOWN!

And may the odds ever be in your favor!

The tail of Luffy's speech balloon in the last panel - the bit pointing at his mouth, I don't know what it's supposed to be called - is a bit yellow, like the GM's text boxes.

I've always called it the "tail" of the speech bubble/balloon.

I think the story time for that one would be obvious.But I do not roleplay (I want to,but I haven't found anyone to play with,and I do not like doing it from the net).Since I do not roleplay,I have no examples,so it would be wrong to set story time...but I am an evil man,soooo...tell about a time you split the party (and the consequences thereof).
