Straw Hat Grand Fleet
The same day, Hajrudin and his crew left the Buggy’s Delivery. Three days later, the seven crews assisted the Straw Hat Pirates in escaping from Dressrosa and avoiding capture by the Marines. Once they reached Orlumbus’ ship, the Yonta Maria, the captains of each crew asked Luffy if they could perform a Parent-Child sakazuki ceremony and become subordinates of his. Luffy refused, but said they would still be bonded by their fight against Doflamingo and they would help each other out at anytime. However, the captains decided to drink the sake anyway, creating a modified Follower’s sakazuki ceremony, pledging to come to Luffy’s aid whenever he needed them, while Luffy was not obligated to do the same.
When the hour and minute hands land on 2 and 4 o’clock, respectively, they form a X-shaped with the gold line on the dial. The X-shaped here is, of course, a nod to the scar on the protagonist’s chest. I leaning towards the white and maroon against black design than the DBZ.
They’ve always looked a bit garish to me with their overly textured dials and perforated hands. But back in February, Casio Japan revealed that the GA-110 is the best-selling G-SHOCK of all time worldwide (in Japan baby g shock it is 3rd, after the DW-6900 and DW-5600). It is their bread & butter watch that funds the mid-range and higher-end lines we all love like the Rangeman, Mudmaster and Frogman, so who am I to look down on it?
In June, 2020, Casio announced the release of a new addition to the G-SHOCK line of shock-resistant watches. The GA-110JOP has been developed in collaboration with ONE PIECE, a popular Japanese TV anime series. Based on the GA-110, popular in worldwide, the new GA-110JOP also sports a big watch case. Using black as the base color, the entire watch is emblazoned with dynamic illustrations of the main character, Monkey D. Luffy, who is growing and becoming stronger.
I almost feel like sending you the watch to display with that beauty. There is admittedly a lot going on with this watch, but love it or hate it, it is undeniably a piece of wrist art. Still, I’m not one to buy a watch “just to keep,” and I doubted I could ever wear a watch like this, so I forgot about them until last week when I saw the excellent splash page that G-SHOCK.com put up for the One Piece. I saw that the watch was listed as sold out on their site, so I curiously ran a search on eBay and found one newly listed by an AD in Japan I had purchased from before.
With his crew of pirates, named the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy explores the Grand Line in search of the world’s ultimate treasure known as “One Piece” in order to become the next Pirate King. The GA110JOP-1A4 is based on the widely popular digital-analog GA-110 series. Using black as its base color, the entire timepiece g shock protection is emblazoned with illustrations of the future pirate king. One Piece is undeniably one of, if not, the most popular Japanese anime series we have today. Casio Men’s G-Shock One Piece Watch looks cool at first sight, yet once you wear the watch and take a good look at it, you’ll be amazed with its intricate details.
In late 2018, Casio introduced the newest addition to the G-Shock Rangeman series of models. The GPR-B1000 is a GPS Hybrid Wave Ceptor model which relies on GPS and atomic time keeping in order to keep perfect time. The battery is either charged by solar cells present on the face of the watch or via a wireless charger supplied with the watch, a first for a Casio watch. Due to unprecedented global demand for this limited edition collaboration model, we have decided to release the One Piece model in the fairest way possible.
The band and bezel of this model is illustrated with images of Monkey D. Luffy, the main protagonist of ONE PIECE. The hand of the indicator dial at 9 o’clock has a hat motif that is similar to the hat worn by the Luffy character. This new special collaboration model captures the essence of the spirit of G-SHOCK’s constant and unending evolution and innovation. ONE PIECE is a hit Japanese teen manga series by Eiichiro Oda published in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.
