| - Sometimes English fans give characters "joke" nicknames or shorten names to just their initials (usually out of laziness) while some of the names are mistranslations or translation variations. Occasionally, it makes it difficult to understand long-term fans if you are a new fan. Some notable names include the following: 1.
* Who is "Pwngoat"? It refers to Sengoku's nameless and apparently "purposeless" pet goat often seen by his side, lacking an official name, English fans dubbed it "Pwngoat"'. Strictly speaking most likely to be found on Arlong Park Forums, but appears outside from time to time. 2.
* Who is "Epicbeard"? Usually it refers to Whitebeard, and is a joke name for his incredibility and apparently "awesome" status as a pirate. Strictly speaking most likely to be found on Arlong Park Forums, but appears outside from time to time. 3.
* Who is WB? Again it is short for "Whitebeard". 4.
* Who is BB? Blackbeard. It was also used to shorten the princess Vivi in early One Piece scans. 5.
* And what is ID? Impel Down 6.
* GM and TS? The ships "Going Merry" and "Thousand Sunny". TS can also mean "Timeskip" 7.
* What about "OP"? "OP" = "One Piece", either talking about the series itself or the treasure. "OP" can also refer to the anime "OPening" themes. Pay attention to context for this one. 8.
* What About "ED"? Similarly to the above, while "OP" can mean "OPening themes", "ED" refers to the "EnDing" themes of the anime. 9.
* W7, what is that? Water 7 10.
* GL = Grand Line 11.
* TB = Thriller Bark 12.
* EL = Enies Lobby 13.
* SH = Straw Hat Pirates or simply Straw Hat 14.
* DBF = Davy Back Fight 15.
* DF = Devil Fruits 16.
* AL = Amazon Lily 17.
* NW = New World 18.
* FI = Fishman Island 19.
