ohhhhhhhh man I love the little things like that. Laboon too is an awesome example - who would have ever thought they'd meet up with one of the pirates from that crew, 50 years later?
Plus the paper thing was truly ingenious, it actually "moves" in the direction the person is, and ACe said that it holding it would mean that they would eventually meet again.
One Piece defines what epic means, not the other way around.
