SoundPoker Says: For example, in Texas Hold'em if your pocket cards were an A of spades and a J of spades, and the board was 2 - 3 - 9 - Q - 10, all of spades, you would hold a hand of "All Blue".
A flush of spades or clubs is also known as "All Black".
A flush of hearts or diamonds is commonly known as "All Red", because red is the suit color for hearts and diamonds on a deck of poker cards.

One Piece (ワンピース Wan Pīsu?) is a fantasy anime and manga series created by mangaka Eiichiro Oda. One Piece focuses on a ragtag crew of heroic pirates called Straw Hat Pirates formed and led by Captain Monkey D. Luffy. Luffy. Luffy's greatest ambition is to obtain the world's ultimate treasure, One Piece, and become the Pirate King.
The manga began its serial run in issue #34 of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine on August 4, 1997, while the anime adaptation produced by Toei Animation premiered on Fuji TV on October 20, 1999.
Eiichiro Oda originally planned One Piece to last five years, and he had already planned out the ending, but he found himself enjoying the story too much to end it in that amount of time, and now has no idea how long it will take to reach that point.[1] Nevertheless, the author states (as of July 2007) that the ending is still the one he had decided on from the beginning, and he is committed to seeing it through to the end, no matter how many years it takes.[2]
One Piece is the third highest selling manga in the history of Weekly Shonen Jump,[3] (being beaten by Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo (Kochi Kame) and Dragon Ball) and is currently their most acclaimed and all-time third-best-selling title in Japan. The manga is so well-liked that it is the first to increase the sales of Weekly Shonen Jump in eleven years.[4] Volume 25 of One Piece holds a manga sales record in Japan, with 2,630,000 units sold in its first printing alone; as of Volume 46, the series has sold over 140,000,000 copies domestically, and is the fastest manga to reach sales of 100,000,000.[2]
The One Piece manga, written, drawn, and created by Eiichiro Oda, is originally published by Shueisha in Japanese for sale in Japan. In the west, the English adaptation is published and distributed for sale in North America and Australia by VIZ Media in both the form of the American Shonen Jump magazine and graphic novels. The first artbook, Color Walk 1 has also been released in English. The second and third books have yet to be released in North America.
As the success of One Piece rose within its serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump, it would soon reach an even larger audience through the medium of television, being adapted into an animated series. That television series (a largely faithful adaptation of the manga) debuted in 1999, but animated One Piece actually had its origins one year earlier with an OVA.
As of October 14, 2007, One Piece has had a total of 326 TV episodes. Episodes from 207 onwards have been broadcast in high-definition at 720p resolution, in addition to standard definition.
It was stated that a filler arc named "Ice Hunter" will start on October 14th of 2007 and will last up to 2008. Eichiro Oda will be helping Toei with the production of these fillers. The airing of filler arcs is to allow the author a chance to publish more material.
Though most anime series air a new episode every week, recently One Piece airs an average of four episodes a month or, in some cases, will air several episodes back-to-back and then go off the air for a few weeks.
In the fall of 2006, Toei Animation produced a series of five recap episodes, retelling the back stories of each of the Straw Hat crew members using clips from old episodes, tied into the current storyline by framing the recaps as flashbacks each of the characters were having just before storming the Tower of Justice. The recaps also marked a change in the series' time slot, and they may have been done to help familiarize new viewers with the cast of characters.
Since the debut of the series on television, Toei Animation has also produced nine One Piece feature films, released each spring since the year 2000. In typical fashion for movies based on serialized manga, the films feature self-contained, completely original plots with animation of higher quality than what the weekly anime allows for. Additionally, three of these movies have had special features, showcasing the characters engaged in various activities unrelated to the series (specifically dancing, playing soccer, and playing baseball). These shorts are similar in style to the shorts of the Pokemon movies, as the Pokemon are shown performing activities they are never shown doing in the anime (vacationing, racing, etc.) These movies, and their attached features, are as follows:
Every year or two, a one-hour special episode is aired in place of a normal episode.
In Singapore, the anime is licensed by Odex, which produces its English dub. It contains fewer edits to names and animation with most if not all reference to blood, violence and death being left unedited. However, Luffy and Sanji's names are pronounced wrong, they pronounce Luffy like "fluffy" but without the "f" and the "an" in Sanji is pronounced like "an" as in "tan".
The anime was adapted by 4Kids Entertainment and previously shown on
Cartoon Network's Toonami, and "reruns" are airing on
their online broadband service Toonami Jetstream in the
1.Original: Sanji has a cigarette
4kids: Sanji has a lollipop
2.Original: uses the word "Marine"
4kids: Marine is changed to Navy
3.Original: Marine uses guns
4kids:the guns are changed into waterguns, cork guns, cap guns, etc.
the colors and the styles of the guns have changed.

5.Original: In second episode a girl gives Zoro riceballs.

6.Original: Shows sake, wine, beer.
4kids: Sake, wine, beer is changed into juice.
7.Original: Shows dead people.
4kids version: Dead people have been erased.
As of September 2006, 104 English-dubbed episodes have been produced from the first 143 Japanese episodes of One Piece [2]; and a variety of sources explain that 4Kids had dropped the license afterwards, such as Anime Newtype Magazine[5]. The anime's naming conventions are used in One Piece-related media in North America, such as the English version of the fighting game One Piece Grand Battle for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo Gamecube.
On April 12, 2007, FUNimation Entertainment announced it was acquiring the license of One Piece and is currently producing the English version from episodes 144 onward, which premiered on Cartoon Network on September 29th, in an edited version. The FUNimation version of One Piece contains many differences from the 4Kids dub, the original opening and ending theme songs (in English) are used, the original Japanese background audio is used, characters have different voice actors to replicate the original Japanese voice actors, death is now mentioned frequently, minor curses such as "crap" and "friggin'" are used; such things are rare even in the Naruto dub (known for its extensive lack of editing in comparison to other anime dubs), as similar dialog has only been heard in the uncut version DVDs. The first instance of such minor 'cursing' in the FUNimation dub of One Piece occurred in an episode that was rated TV-Y7. According to FUNimation, no more arcs will be skipped.
FUNimation will also distribute the series in unedited bilingual DVD box sets, retailing for US$49.98 and containing 13 episodes each. At Anime Expo 2007, Funimation announced that the DVDs will be officially released starting at episode 144 in 2008.
The popularity of One Piece has led to adaptations of both the manga and anime into many other languages including (but not exclusive to) Korean, Chinese, English, German, French, Italian, Basque, Spanish, Thai, Tagalog, Catalan, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Vietnamese, Malay, Indonesian, Portuguese, Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi and Finnish.
Oda has referenced many real-life pirates over the course of the Manga as well as many other figures of the Golden age of
Pirates. These have included; Bartholomew Roberts (Batholomew Kuma), Edward Teach (Marshall D. Teach and Edward Newgate),
Samuel Bellamy (Bellamy the Hyena),
Francois l'Ollonais (Roronoa Zoro),
Another pirate related reference comes from the Shichibukai. They are loosely based on the privateers of old Europe. The privateers were approved pirates, considered heroes in their homeland and pillagers in others. Their main goal was to plunder the villages and towns of the then mighty country of Spain.[8]
Several cities within the story have been based on known cities and countries. The entire Alabasta arc had elements based on ancient Egypt and Arab architecture and clothing. Water 7 is based on the city of Venice. The Florian Triangle is based on The Bermuda Triangle where all the ships that went there disappeared.
The Shandian Tribe were based on Native American Indians. The war between them and the Skypieans is similar to the situation where Europeans began to take land away from the American Indians, leading to bloodshed and war. The city of Shandora is equally comparable to the claimed "cities of gold" which many Europeans were given the impression of about America. The Giants of Elbaf are based on the Vikings. Eiichiro Oda has been a fan of Viking culture since his childhood; he also produced a colourspread of various Straw Hats as Vikings.
A few references have also been made to Biblical sources, such as Sodom and Gomorrah: the two King Bulls belonging to the Franky Family, which are named after Biblical cities noted for being corrupt. [9] Bartholomew Kuma was also seen holding a book resembling a Bible upon his first appearance, although this has not yet been elaborated upon in the storyline.
Sir Crocodile of the Shichibukai appears to have references to the famous Captain Hook of the story Peter Pan, such as his left hand being a hook. He also keeps Bananawani, giant Crocodiles, believed to be a reference to the fact Hook always lived in fear of his mortal enemy the giant crocodile. These references however remain unconfirmed by the creator. Another member of the Shichibukai, Gecko Moria, has a Devil Fruit power which allows him to cut off shadows. Rendering them in a state similar to how shadows are shown also from the story of Peter Pan.
Nico Robin formed the technique "Cien Fleur: Wing" and lifted up the character Franky. This mimicked a moment in Trigun, which ended a month before this appeared in One Piece, where two of the characters, Vash and Knives, fly away in the last chapter. [10] Kankichi Ryotsu from Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Koen-mae Hashutsujo appears in a panel in Volume 44. Kochikame forged the incredible streak of over 30 years in publication leading to Ryotsu appearing in all the stories in the Shonen Jump magazine including One Piece. This was part of an organised tribute between the different mangaka of Shounen Jump magazine.
A possible reference to Full Metal Alchemist was made in Chapter 471, where the crew (minus Luffy and Nami) all forget Oz's name and come up with the names "Ross", "Hughes", and "Oss". "Hughes" and "Ross" may be a reference to Maes Hughes and Maria Ross.
