The story you're about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Dragment. Detective Sergeant, you're assigned to hit and run felony detail. A young woman has been run down and seriously injured. The driver of the car has fled from the scene. Your job, find him. It was Tuesday, April 7th. It was cold in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of Traffic Bureau. Hit and run felony detail. My partner's Frank Smith. The boss is Captain Calvi. My name's Friday. We're on our way out from the office. It was 840 a.m. when we got to 1784 Byrum Street. Front door.  Leonard, sounds like somebody coming. Yeah, something you want? Miss Hunter? That's right. Who you want? Police officers. We'd like to talk to you. Oh, about the thing last night, huh? Yes, ma'am, that's right. Well, come on in. I can't stand around for long. I'm going to be late for work as it is. Come on. Thank you. Miss my partner, Frank Smith. My name's Friday. How do you do? Hi. Sit down there. I got to get ready to leave. There's some coffee there in the craft if you want. No, thank you. No, ma'am, thank you. Would you mind pouring me a cup? You'll find everything right there on the table. Two sugars. All right. I know about last night. I told the officers who were there. Oh, I know. Yes, ma'am. We know. We read their report. We'd like to go over with you. It's all right. Seems like a waste of time for me. Then a little more of it, trying to catch the kid that hit the girl. It'd be better all the way around. There's your coffee. Look, the war. Either one of you got a cigarette? That's very, very hard. Here's the light. What do you want to go over? Well, according to what you said to the officers last night, you saw the accident, right? I saw it, yeah. I don't think it was an accident. If you ask me, I think the kid deliberately hit the girl deliberately. Why do you say that? Well, just the way it looked, that's all. Kind of a feeling. Wade came barreling around the corner. He must have seen her. She was right under the light. Didn't even make an attempt to stop. None at all. I saw the girl step off the curb. Right under the light, he had to see her head too. Anyway, she stepped off the curb and started to cross the street. Her and me saw her. She started to cross and then all of a sudden, this kid in the hot rod was coming right at her. Wasn't anything she could do. Yes, ma'am. She kind of looked up at the car and then, well, like she was going to run. But she didn't have time. The car hit her and knocked her down. Did you get a good look at the car? You mean no one to hit her? Yes, ma'am. You bet I did. Passed right under the light, got a real good look at it. Wonder if you describe it for us. I told the cops all about it last night. Seems like that'd be enough. Why do I have to go through it again? Well, it might be something you didn't think of last night. It's something you might have forgotten. It isn't likely, but if you've got to have it, I guess that's the way it's got to be. Hope we can get it over with fast enough. I've got to get down to the corner so I won't miss my bus. Well, if it'd help, we can drive you to work. You can give us the information on the way. Well, that'll be fine. Wait a minute, I'll get my coat. Look when you came in. Ma'am. Did it look like it was going to rain? No, it's pretty cold, though. The paper said it might rain today. Well, better take an umbrella. What kind of a car was it, Miss Hunter? A hot rod.  Well, what kind of a car was it, the brand name? Well, I guess it was a Ford. It looked like one. Hard to tell, it was kind of banged up, you know. I don't know why the police allowed cars like that on the streets anyway. It couldn't be very safe. Can you tell us what year the car was? Well, I'm not real good at that, but I'd say maybe in 1940. It might have been 1941. It's a free war car, though, aren't you sure that? Oh, yeah, I'm sure of that, huh? How about you get in, ma'am? Okay, thanks. All right, ma'am. Where can we drop you, ma'am? Well, there first and Broadway will be fine, just on the corner there. Okay. Miss Hunter, was there anything about the car that would make it easier to identify? Not especially. Blacks, Ford, all beat up. I'm sure I'd know it if I saw it again, anyplace. Did you get a good look at the driver of the car? No, not too good. All I could see was that he was a kid, you know, maybe 19, 20 years old. You'd like to see a get-back kid. Is the girl all right? She looked pretty bad last night. No, she's still in a critical condition. Doctors aren't sure yet whether she'll be all right. I sure hope she is. Have you talked to her? No, we haven't, not yet. That's a terrible thing. A kid like that running around in hot rods, barreling around the city, curtain's not safe on the streets anymore. Well, just because a car's got twin tailpipes, Miss Hunter, doesn't have to be a hot rod. Well, this one was. He even had the little sort of license plate hanging down from the back bumper. You mean a state license plate? No, one of those are the club name on it. You know the car. There's not a notation to that on the report that we remember. I guess I forgot all the excitement at all. I must have forgot. Well, did you see the name on that plate? Yeah. Not real good, but I saw it. Think you can remember it? Not all of it. The last part was wheels. Something wheels. Two words. You're pretty sure that, are you? Yeah, wheels. That's the word I saw. I didn't remember it last night. I guess it didn't seem important then. Must be a lot of cars that have those plates on them all over town. Yes, we know. Don't seem like it's going to help much. A lot of cars with those plates on them are tough. Yes, ma'am. Even if you do find the kid with one of them, how are you going to know if he's the right one? Well, that's not going to be too hard. Huh? His car will tell us. According to the report, an automobile driven by one male occupant had struck a woman while she crossed the intersection of Olympic Boulevard and Connecticut Street the night before. When the ambulance arrived at the scene, the victim, who was identified as Mrs. Helen Chapman, was unconscious and was removed to Georgia Street receiving hospital for emergency treatment. Members of the crime lab had arrived at the scene and gathered what physical evidence they could find. All citizens in the vicinity were interrogated and their statements were taken. Photographs of the corner were made and held for evidence. Because of the hit-and-run aspect of the case, Frank and I had been assigned to investigate it. At 1.14 p.m., we drove over to Georgia Street receiving hospital to talk to the attending physician, Dr. Sebastian. He said the patient's condition was so critical that she couldn't be moved to her own hospital. He told us that the victim hadn't recovered consciousness after the point where she could be questioned. He went on to tell us that she'd been administered serum alveolumine to counteract shock. He listed her injuries for us. Pound-pound fractures of the femur, rib fractures and associated internal injuries including a punctured lung and brain concussion. It was not expected that she'd live. Frank and I left the doctor and walked down the hall. In the waiting room, we met a tall, thin man who looked as if he hadn't slept in several days.  He identified himself as the victim's husband, and I didn't know I came home from work to tell me about it. I didn't even know. Didn't they try to call you at work? No, I guess they called the house. There wasn't anybody home. I just walked up the door, and there was a note telling me to call there. Didn't even know about Helen. I see. You like the cigarette, Chapman? Thanks. You talk to the doctor? Yes, sir. We just did. Is there anything new? Is she going to be all right? Well, I don't know yet. You can ask the doctor yourself. Why don't anybody tell me anything? All the time I ask how my wife is, they tell me to ask the doctor. Why won't they tell me? I don't know, sir. I can't even find out if she needs anything. It won't let me see her. If anybody will tell me what's really happening in there, it's been over 10 hours. Nobody will tell me what's going on. Well, that's the thing. Try to sit down and take it easy, Mr. Chapman. Oh, that's great to say. Just sit down. Easy to say. It's not your wife who's in there. It isn't someone you love. Why are you here anyway?  Why don't you look for him? We'll get to him, sir. When? After Helen's dead? Is that going to be when you start looking? We're looking for him now. We came over in the hopes that we could talk to your wife. We thought she might be able to give us some information. What in God's name do you want from her? The name and address of the kid who ran it down? Does she have to go out of bed and go find him for you? That's your job. Yours. All this talk about the police department being so good, but what are you doing? You stand around here with your toe in the dirt, waiting for my wife to come to enough to point the kid out. All right, sir. Now take it easy. Take it easy. Now listen to me, both of you. You listen. If she dies, if that kid killed her, I'll find him. I don't know how, but I will. I'm going to do the same thing to him with my hands that he did with this car. I'll find him. I swear I'll find him and I'm going to kill him.  Yeah. Can I see you for a moment? Yeah. Do you excuse us for a minute, sir? Sure, Doctor. We'll wait out in the hall. Tell them about that plate on the car. Get a broadcast out on it. Check the phone book for the address of the National Hot Rod Association. Better talk with them, huh? They might have something for us on the club. All right. You better start, cop. You better find it fast because I'm looking so... You ought to go home and get some sleep, Mr. Captain. You're all worn out. I'm not going to get any sleep until I catch that kid. I'm dead. I catch that kid. How is the girl? She's dead. Both of them are... Both of them? Yeah. She's going to have a baby in a couple of months. 3.15 p.m., Frank and I drove out to the offices of the National Hot Rod Association on Hollywood Boulevard. We met with Bud Coons and Wally Parks. They checked their records for clubs with the last name Wheels. There were three in their files. Two were in the eastern part of the United States and one was listed as having headquarters in Alhambra, California. We obtained the name and address of the president of the club and we drove out to see him. We found him in the garage behind the house working on a 1941 Ford. We introduced ourselves and he asked us to sit down. What do you want to see me about? We understand that you're the president of the Square of Wheels, right? Yeah, that's right. Why? How many members do you have in the club? 18. 18 actors. There was a couple of guys in the service. What's this all about anyway? How come the questions? All your members have the metal plates with a club name on their car? Yeah. You got them when they pay the initiation fee. What? Anybody else have them? Not legally. What do you mean? A couple of them have been stolen from members. Any of the fellows in the club drive a black pre-war Ford? Yeah, I guess we got about five of them. I got one myself, as a matter of fact. Listen, why can't you tell me what this is all about? I figure if I knew what you wanted, I could help you out. A woman was run down by a hot rod last night, one of the witnesses saw a plate on the car that might have been from your club. No kidding. That's the way we got it. What did it look like? I always say it had twin pipes. Pretty well beat up, white sidewall tires. It's not one of ours then. It's not pretty sure what about the plate. Well, I told you we've had a couple of them stolen. Must have been one of them.  Oh, I know the car's in the club. There isn't a yoyo and a bunch. What's a yoyo? Well, yeah, you know, a shop rod, junkie. Oh, I see. I don't know. It seems like every time there's any trouble with a car over five years old, it's a hot rod. It's sure not fair. That's so. Yeah. Come here, I'll show you. I'll take a look at that. I've been working on it for three years. Got over 1,200 bucks in it. Take a look at it. It's a lot of motor. Yeah, it's a good car, but what's it prove? The car that ran that woman down wasn't a hot rod. How do you figure that? You said it was a wreck, didn't you? That's right. We haven't got a wreck that's allowed on the streets in this club. I don't know a legal club that has a yoyo in it. We got a safety check every month. Any car that isn't safe has to be fixed or the guys out. A lot of clubs operate that way. Yeah, we know. Our kids build rods for two reasons, because they want the cars to run better, be more efficient, or else they want something a little different than you can buy in a showroom.  Maybe it had twin pipes, a loud muffler, but I'll give you odds from here to Bonneville that it wasn't a hot rod. I know how guys feel. Every kid on the wheel in a second-hand car has a potential killer. The way the papers pictures, we just roam around looking for somebody to run over. That's not true. You check the records. I think you'll find that the ratio between tickets given out to members of Hotrod and getting a year and a half the one before that was for overtime parking. Oh, I'm sorry, fellas. That car last night wasn't one of our guys, and you can bet he wasn't a Hotrod either. You got any way of knowing who could have gotten a flat? Not right off, but we'll find you. How? There's only so many streets in Los Angeles. We'll find you. Guys like that make things rough on the clean drivers in this town. We'll find him for you. I will appreciate any help you can give us on this, but it's a police business. If you find him, give us a call right away. Don't worry, we will. How do I get in touch with you? I'll leave you one of our cards any time you call us. All right. I'll get on the phone and get the fellas rounded up. You turn it all away. Take it out. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. I'll let him shoot you. Well, we drive them to the airport. Count you in to say hello. 6.40 p.m. Frank and I got back to the office. During the afternoon, the broadcast on the car had gone over the state wire, and every police officer in the state of California was looking for the hit-and-run car. When we checked with communication, it was our broadcast. 7.15 p.m. We put on a call to Georgia Street receiving hospital, and we talked again to Dr. Sebastian. He told us that the victim's husband, Carl Chapman, had been placed under the care of his family doctor against sexual check. Well, in the run until 8.40 p.m., we met back in the squad room. Any word yet? No. Got a call from Al Gibbs. Hot rod club? Yeah. He says all the clubs in the area are looking for the car. They divided the city up in sections. Members are checking all the streets. No luck though, huh? No, nothing. Well, they turned a couple of cars, but they don't check out. How'd you do? Pretty good. Got the report here. We had a couple sandwiches, and then we got some Swiss on our eye. Good. In the bag there. Where's coffee? Right there, Carton. Oh. The lab sure did a good job on this stuff here. Mm-hmm. There's a scene. The victim was found 10 feet 4 inches from the northeast corner, 4 feet 8 inches from the north pedestrian crosswalk. That's put it about here, wouldn't it? Yeah. They found particles of broken glass, checked on with the lighthouse, left here. Mm-hmm. Got it. I looked at it, it's new. Any brand name? Yeah, but it's not going to help much. Distribute it all over the country. A lot about skid marks, any sign of them? No, not that either the kid didn't have time to use them or else he didn't want to. They came up with this though. Yeah, what's that? Well, some marks from a tire. Lee says he thinks they were made when the kid dug out to get away, spun the back wheels. Sure indicated he didn't mean to stop at any time, huh? Well, that's the way Lee's got it figured. There you are. Yeah. Anybody there? No. No, keep it under surveillance. We'll be right out. Yeah, don't burn it. All right, bye. What do you got? Well, it's beginning to go our way, maybe. Huh? They found the car. The route that the students were going to park was moving it. It's safe. It is weak. It is weak. It is weak. It is weak. It is weak. It is weak. It is weak. It is weak. It is weak. It is weak. It is weak. It is weak. It is weak. It is weak. The white slip gave us an address in Hollywood. While the crime lab went over the car, we drove out to Moore's address to talk to him. He lived in a large house built in the mid-20s as a private residence. It had been converted into a boarding house. Frank covered the rear entrance. I rang the front doorbell. Give me up this time of night. Police officer, you have a tenant here named Jack Moore? What about it? We'd like to talk to him. Too late, Mac. He ain't here. Where is he? I don't know. He moved out this afternoon. He didn't say where he was going. A thorough search was made in the suspect's room. The manager told us that Moore had come home that morning, packed his belongings and left the house. We called the crime lab and Lieutenant Lee Jones told us that they'd established that Moore's car was the one that had run down the chapel in the girl. We talked to the other people in the rooming house. None of them could tell us where Moore might have gone. We put in a call to our records, but the car was not listed as being stolen. We called his name into our and I, but we found that he had no felony record. From the occupants of the rooming house, we found that the suspect had no relatives in this state and no close friends that they could recall. Layton Prince came out and went over the room and, going over it, we found a wastebasket Moore had used to dispose of articles that he didn't want. In the basket, we found several match folders from a bar out on Westlent Street. We put in a call to the bar, but we found that it was closed. In the manager of the rooming house, we got a good description of the suspect along with the information that he received no mail and that he was apparently unemployed. A stakeout was set up on the house, and at 3.36 a.m., Frank and I checked out of the office and went home for the night. The next day, Wednesday, April 8th, we went to the M.A.M.V. and asked that they give us all information on the clock, 15 a.m. We drove over the bar on Westlent Street. Not open yet. Police officers, like some information. License is back there on the wall and plain sight. There's nothing going on here. Do you have a customer in here named Jack Moore? We just opened the doors. We got no say about who comes in. As long as they don't cause trouble, we don't eat it. This guy's about 20 or 21, 5'8 to 5'10, 165 pounds, blond. His name's Moore, Jack Moore. About what? Police business. Have you seen him? Nothing that's going to get the bar in trouble. That's a simple question, Mr. Have you seen him? Maybe, yeah. You tell me what it's all about, I might be able to help you out. You're running out of time. Have you seen Jack Moore? Yeah. When? Last night. Here? Yeah, he was in. Got licked up. I tossed him out when we closed. Where is he now? You better ask him. I'm going to tell you once more, if you know where he is, you're going to save yourself a lot of time by cooperating with it. I run a clean place here. I don't want any trouble with the cops. My license is on the wall. I got no choice of the customers coming in here. I don't want to get mixed up in it. We're not calling it that way. That's the way it is. This is a clean place. That's not what the book says. You've been tabbed a couple of times with serving minors. You run B-girls. You haven't served straight liquor in here for a couple of years. Now, get me a wage. Oh, now, look, fellas, I was just trying to take care of myself. You did. Get your coat. Isn't there some way we can work this thing out? I don't want any trouble. Where's Jack Moore? I try to run a clean place a couple of times. We've been over all that before. Now, where is he? I got him up at my place. You there now? I guess so. We got pretty loaded last night. We got a clean place to pad down. I took him home. What's the address? 1862 and a half Woodworth Court. Room 14. All right. Let's go. Yeah. And don't try to call him. I got no phone in the room. He's done anything. I had no part in it. Just trying to help a friend out. That's all. Just help a friend out. Yeah, sure. You tell him that. He got me in trouble all because I tried to help him out. You just tell him. Yeah, we will. Tell him not to come around here anymore. Tell him to keep out. Tell him that. Will you for me? Tell him not to come back? Don't you worry about it. He won't be back. I'm going to the office. And another team of detectives came out to the bar to keep the bartender under surveillance in the event that he might try to contact the suspect. It took five and a half minutes to drive to the Woodworth Street address. It was a large building located at the end of a blind street. Room 14 was on the third floor in the front of the building. Frank and I approached the room and we listened. There was no sound from inside. You want to try the door? Yeah. It was on my bed. Yeah. Looks like the right guy. I was awake. Come on.  Wake up. Come on. Charlie. Come on.   Let me alone. I told you, Charlie. Let me. What are you guys? What are you doing? Police officers, you're under arrest. Wait a minute. All right. I got. Come on. Stand still. All right. All right. I quit. I quit. You want to shake him, Frank? Yeah. Well, you're taking me. I ain't done nothing. You got no reason to push me around like this. All right, let's go. Where? Where are you going to take me? Downtown. For what? You got the wrong one. I didn't do it. All right. Come on. Let's move. But you got the wrong one. I didn't do it. I didn't know what you wanted. That's why I run. I didn't know what you wanted. Well, you're new now, so let's go. The suspect was taken to the squad room where he was questioned. He refused to admit any part in the crime. He was confronted with the physical evidence and with the ownership of the hit-run vehicle. The witness to the crime came to the office and said that Jack Moore was the man that she'd seen at the wheel of the car when Helen Chapman had been run down. Throughout the interrogation, the suspect refused to say anything. At 1.47 p.m., the door to the squad room opened and Carl Chapman came in. Where is he? I know he's here. I want to see him. Oh, I take it easy, Chapman. I heard you caught him. I want to see him. I want to tell him. Is that the kid? Are you the one?  Well, answer me. Oh, I take it easy, Chapman. Is he the one? The evidence points at what he had. Please. I want you to do something for me. What's that? Go away. Out of here, please. We can't do that, Chapman. He's in custody. Please. Please leave me alone with him. Come on, Chapman. Listen to me, kid. When they put you in that cell, you get down on your knees and thank God that they found you before I did.  You thank him and every day you live, you thank him. You do that because I would have killed you. Take it easy, Chapman. My wife's dead because of him. You hear that?  They got laws to save people like you, but none for her. None for her and the baby. They didn't have any laws. It's time for them. All right, Chapman. Take it easy. Right. Come on, sir. Yeah. I'm upset, ain't he? I want you to remember something, kid. In the years I've been in this department, I've seen some bad ones real bad. Teenage kids that didn't know any better scraped up off the pavement, sent home to their parents. Drunks who were too loaded to know what went on. There's been a lot of them go through here, but you finish way ahead of the field, boy. You talk good. I bet you're on a lecture team around here.    Every year, the number gets bigger. More people killed. It isn't the honest drivers that do it. It's people like you who don't care for anybody else. Now, we've tried about everything in the books to make you understand. It doesn't look like any of them did any good, does it? I'm a bad one, ain't I?  A woman who didn't even know you. She never saw you until it was too late. You threw a 10 and a half of metal at a 120-pound woman, and then you ran away and left her in the gutter to die. You wrecked a family. You tore it right down the middle and rolled over it. You've ruined the lives of all the people around that woman. You gave a group of decent men. Put that on your feet, young fella. What's that? Hit and run. How much will I get? I don't know, but it won't be enough.

Hello and welcome to the Grand Line Review, your source for everything one piece. Today we have a manga review of chapter 944, partner. And that was pretty damn unexpected to say the least, eh? After pretty much a decade of speculation of what he looks like and who he may or may not be related to, we can finally put a face to the name Massacre Soldier Killer. And it's quite a pleasant face considering the name, but I have to say I absolutely love the twist that Killer is also a victim of the whole smile business, loving it in a way that it provides some solid motivation for kids to really have a grudge to deal with on one rather than just going about the whole selfish wanting to defeat Kido thing. The look of pure rage on his face. When he's questioning what happened to Killer, very much reminds me of similar looks that Luffy has given over the course of the series. And well, those looks never end well for whoever he's glaring at at the time. Although it is kind of weird the kid got caught again. To be perfectly honest, the whole kid escaping off panel in the first place left an odd taste in my mouth because for such a major character to simply vanish like that is just weird. And you could say a very similar thing about him getting recaptured. Although I think in the second case, it is seated by Luffy and the guards the kid probably got caught again on purpose. And I think it's fairly obvious why because he wants to talk to and or rescue Killer. So I guess the primary question in my mind now shifts to Killer though. It was a fantastic reveal that he was Kamazoh and I'm really glad that Kamazoh didn't end up being just some other miscellaneous strong dude made up for the sake of Wano. At the same time, I do have to ask why would Killer agree to do Orochi's bidding after having such a fate inflicted upon him? And the best explanation I can think of is the rather simple do what we say and we won't kill your captain or the rest of your crew, standard bad guy stuff. Which is fine, but in the chapter where Kamazoh makes his appearance, he says something along the lines of how dare you insult the Shogun. Which in retrospect, I don't know how much sense that makes. There's just no real need to say that sort of thing in private, especially if you actually despise Orochi. But going back on the rest of the chapter where Kamazoh appears now is a pretty interesting exercise because of course it now makes perfect sense why he was wielding dual scythe weapons, but it also puts a whole new perspective on his interaction with Zoro. I mean, we didn't even know it at the time, but we were watching two members of the worst generation go head to head and surely at the very least, Killer would have known this year. I mean, Zoro does have an alias on Wano, but he still looks exactly like Zoro. So Killer must have been pretty damn confident about his own abilities. And fair enough, because he did get in a good hit on Zoro, which I recall was pretty widely complained about in the fan base. And while I'm sure this revelation puts that to rest, it does give rise to a whole new brand of complaint, which is why Killer was dispatched so easily by Zoro in retrospect.  But if you were to imagine the same sort of thing happening with two other members of the worst generation, like their captain's Luffy and Kid, I mean, imagine if Kid was able to be dealt with in such a brief skirmish. Ah, there would be outrage across the globe. So it's a bit odd, but I'm thrilled the Killer is finally being expanded upon because he's been by far the most mysterious member of the worst generation, yes, even more so than Bonnie. And I'm very much looking forward to seeing his character unfold as we move on. But Killer being inflicted with a smile curse also gives rise to a path for Luffy and Kid to become proper allies in the future. I've already previously speculated that the cure will be found for the condition by the end of Wano. And if that cure was found by say Chopper, then even Eustace Kid would have to consider himself somewhat in-depth to the straw hats for saving his childhood friend. So in which case the grand Luffy kid jailbreak is back on the cards. And I can't wait to see both of their reactions to Big Mom, who is finally here. And not only that, but she's already in demonic hunger tantrum mode, the best kind of mode. As is Queen, by the way, his subordinates were starting to get a little bit nervous about how grumpy this dude is. And I should say that he also very, very casually dismissed a punch from Luffy this week. It was so casual that it was almost comical. And I was on the verge of forgetting about it entirely with everything else in the chapter. But I think it's important to focus on because it really reinforces the idea that Luffy is not strong enough to take on Queen alone. And that this entire arc is going to be about combining forces in order to defeat such overwhelming power. But just while we're still in the prison of mind, I really enjoyed the section where Luffy was watching his crew on the monitor, especially when he was cheering on Zoro, telling him to slash our Borochi. It was a really nice moment of him just supporting the entire crew, which speaking of, are now pretty much revealed to the entirety of Wano now. I really wasn't expecting anyone beyond Zoro and Sanji to get involved because they're causing enough commotion and ruining overall plans as it is. But I have to say, I was hit with a pretty nice wave of awesome when Frankie jumped into the fray because it reminded me that we haven't seen him in any form of combat since the Dress Rose Arc with his infamous fight against Senor Pink. And in this chapter, there was just that fantastic panel of Frankie going all terminated with his obscured red eye that just made me so incredibly happy. As did seeing his strong right in the background of the very next panel behind Zoro. It's just been far, far too long. And when we saw the three panels of Nami, Robin and Noosop getting involved, I was very much hoping for a shot but similar focus on them doing their thing. But I guess you can't have everything. I have to say though, my favorite panel of the entire chapter was definitely the one of Sanji where they fully transformed Alasora's Drake in the background just roaring, beautifully drawn.  Unfortunately, in contrast, I'd have to say that I was kind of disappointed by the clash between Zoro and Kyoshiro. Artistically, it just didn't hit me. Like the panel where Zoro is firing the pound cannon, I don't know, it's difficult to explain what it is about it. But I think the big issue we have is framing because Zoro just looks kind of awkwardly squashed into the corner in order to showcase the blast headed towards Orochi. And also his general pose didn't really land for me. It's not anywhere near as dynamic or as cool as previous pound cannons. Kyoshiro blocking the strike looked pretty cool though, especially the secondary panel right under it where we get to see his devious iron part of his smile. But then he and Zoro go into clash in another kind of undercooked panel for me. Neither one of them have a particularly striking pose nor does it accurately convey the power behind either one of them. I mean look, it's a small complaint because I still love seeing the both of them in action together. I guess I just wanted more than the cramped space of one third of a page so that we could have a truly striking image. Although one question I do have in mind with all of this is where's Hawkins? He was very clearly shown to be standing right next to Drake behind both Zoro and Sanji at the end of the last chapter and he's currently nowhere to be seen. So the lack of focus on him here makes me wonder if he's being saved for a rather big moment coming up. Like maybe just calmly pulling out one of his cards to give him godlike powers and just decimating this entire battlefield. As it is, I kind of see Hawkins as the trump card of the Straw Hat Pirates in this situation because as much as I love seeing them in action here, I don't see them coming out on top of Kyoshiro, Drake, Orichi's gun-wielding samurai and Hawkins if he also jumps into the fray. And at the same time, we've done this a couple of times now where Hawkins encounters the Straw Hats sort of faces off against them and they escape. So it would be great to finally break that. Perhaps with some kind of realization from Hawkins that this is the moment where he needs to switch allegiances, maybe through the prompting of some cards because otherwise I feel like we're just going to get the same thing again with everyone escaping him once more and I'm not keen for the continuous repetition of that trend. And the other reason why I'd be looking for him to act now is a bit more meta because it feels like the climax of act two is most certainly here. With Big Mom about to completely wreck face at the prisoner mine and this giant conflict happening here as well, this is the time for action one way or the other.  Oh, and speaking of something big, I'd like to use this chapter as an example of why you should never, ever take fan theory seriously. If you're unaware, there has been a theory going around for quite some time now that was sparked by a color spread featuring Zora sitting on a tombstone that had the number 944 written on it. As a result, a small section of the fan base went mad with theories, many of whom were predicting Zora's death in chapter 944. But even those who weren't were expecting something pretty huge because you know that number was specifically put in there by Oda as foreshadowing and not randomly at all chosen as the year of death for whatever zombie once inhabited that grave. In any case, I can't tell you how thrilled I am for that theory to be finally put in its own grave so that we can move on with some real discussion. But that pretty much does it for chapter 944.

One heart Queen of clubs Three of spades nine of heart Jack of spades Six of clubs Three of heart Five of heart What are you guys playing? Coles Yeah, bingo.  We all pay a dime And whoever finishes that cards first gets them. I like that color. Here we go. It's really cool. Thank you All right, wait a minute You ready? Let's go. I'm ready. Five of clubs Jack of clubs eight of heart Two of diamonds Good morning. How you doing? I'm doing fine. I am one of the very fortunate people in the world because I worked for uvm for 21 years And they gave me health insurance when I left So I have good health insurance, but I know a lot of people don't But i'm very blessed because I haven't had to pay for Are they anything except my prescriptions? And What about your prescriptions? Are they expensive? Well, they're expensive, but I only have to pay a deductible Mostly I pay $15 a prescription so I I talked to a woman this morning and her son's son Broke his leg and they had to go to the bank to get a loan for $6,000 to pay for the leg And that's awful when the insurance won't it was blue cross that wouldn't give them the money and that's awful So I've seen both sides So Linda Why did you have recent health care? Right? You were in the hospital. Tell us about it and whether you were covered by insurance I went to the emergency room and they found out I had a 100 gallstones in my gallbladder and my gallbladder was leaky So they took this test. Oh, they didn't take it Only until april So I've had this problem for quite a long time And as far as healthcare is concerned, I have medicare I don't have any other coverage And I was very fortunate that while I was in the hospital a lady came in and helped me pay this bill by filling out information And I didn't do that myself A lady from church who came to help me she brought me food for five weeks because I couldn't go well And she helped me do all the paperwork and everything got paid I was very fortunate, you know what I mean? So Health care is important Because if you have symptoms your body's telling you Pay attention to me Get help But a lot of people ignore symptoms and you have them for a reason, you know And um I don't know what else to say except it's important What kind of health care system would you like to say? For everyone That people are covered like through medicare and Medicaid They shouldn't cut Medicaid and some of the Senators now are saying they want to cut Medicaid Well, they shouldn't cut Medicaid because a lot of people can't afford The other insurance That's sort of what I think I have medicare and I have blue cross So blue cross supplements Medicare, right great medicare.  I don't think in this day and age people should have to die from something But there's such so much technology today to save people's lives And if you go when something is hurting you early on that's very important because some diseases progress rapidly you know and um I think the door should stay open. I You know really for everybody So you were saying we have to have health care and go from there and start again All well seniors and children Have to have health care. It doesn't matter how much money you have or how little money you have and um My solution to the problem is that medical school should be free And we should have people going into medicine who are interested in taking care of people Right now they pay so much to get through college through medical school through a specialty And and then they have to pay that back. So that makes medicine very expensive and I really think that medical school should be free And I think doctors when they come out of medical school then if it's free they should Go into the rural areas where there's not enough Doctors and practice for x number of years like an internship and then they can go on to their specialty But medicine shouldn't be a way to make money Hi, I'm brian chena. I'm a state representative from burlington representing house district Chittenden six four, which is most of the hill the hospital party uvm Centennial field and a piece of the old north end And i'm here today to hear from our elders I'm curious to hear what their concerns are regarding health care. I serve on the house health care committee And we've been doing a lot of work monitoring what's happening in washington and Monitoring what protections we might need to put into place if there were changes to the affordable care act and So i'm curious to hear you know I'm here really to listen to our elders and to hear their voices and hear their concerns and answer any questions They might have and also to reassure them that we're going to fight for them to continue to get their benefits in their health care Thank you for your attention The reason that we want to speak with you today is that There is a serious threat that many of us are under and that is I think a serious threat for seniors, especially of cuts to medicaid and medicare and What the national republican party has tried to do to health care in this country Um, so just a quick question. How many people in this room? In some way use medicaid Medicare everybody Okay, you've been organizing On a local level to pressure our governor phil scott To stand up publicly and push back against the national republican attacks on health care And we've had some success in pushing him to take a stronger stance and stand up for the health of brahmans We don't want to just stand here and talk at you the whole time Mostly what we wanted to do was to be able to listen and hear stories and experiences of the people in this room and and learn from you as to What benefits you've gotten from the current health care system and what are your concerns? But we know there's a lot of threats still to health care both the affordable care act medicaid and medicare Um, there are plans by republicans in the house representatives that would turn medicare into a voucher So they would hand you a voucher for x number of dollars that we know is not enough money to actually cover the care you need They also want to turn medicaid into a block grant program So a state would only get a certain amount of money and the reason they're doing that is to make cuts So we know that vermont, for example, wouldn't have the money they need to take care of our current medicaid medicaid population So isaq asked you how many of you rely on medicaid and medicare My other question is how many of you use the community health centers of burlington for your health care Community health center So the community health center burlington is a federally qualified health center They get funding from the federal government in order to operate They work on a sliding fee scale so you can get coverage regardless of your ability to pay One in four vermonas, which is the most of any state in the country one in four vermonas get their health care from a federally qualified health center senator sanders has been One of the biggest supporters in washington of that program and he wants to expand it actually Doubling the number of people who can access health centers for their care which provide high quality low-cost primary care services And This health center was pushed by bernie to be here Which i'm very grateful because i use it But i also heard that there was supposed to be another one that he was going to try to get further in like A different location you mean yeah A second one. I see so you are and i heard that a few years ago Okay, so senator sanders role is really to make sure that there's funding available so that health centers can open Marsha, there is another one Yes, i've passed days down You know where staples is yeah down around in that area. Oh, it is and there's also one for um teenage teams Homeless teams, which i think is on pearl street Burlington has like five locations now. So there's riverside. There's the one on pearl street. There's one on pine street I don't know a lot of people in top Yes, and yeah, there is one like near her house. Oh good I don't really have a question. I have kind of a statement First of all, I don't think that medicare and medicaid provide enough services for people And I think that needs to be increased And my one of the ways it would seem that we could help Our healthcare be cheaper is to make it cheaper for the doctors to become doctors And maybe we should have an organization who Sponsors doctors and then they go out and work so many years before they start their specialty And so that they don't have this huge debt And um There was one other thing and it slipped my mind, but It has to do with Dental I think because I really think dental is as important If you get dental infections, you're prone to get heart problems and all kinds of things So I really think dental is a very important thing And that's I guess what I was going to say something else that I forgot At the universal healthcare classes will Washington senators and congressmen be paying the same As us we could save a lot of money there. They should be on the same program. We are So members of congress right now Oh, sorry Members of congress right now receive FBHB P which is the federal employee insurance benefit So they get their coverage through Blue Cross or united healthcare or other things that federal employees are subject to To make us feel like when we get our Medicare Benefits That's something we've purchased through the years. We've worked for that And we're made to feel like it's a freebie and it's a handout and Oh, you don't deserve this. You should be happy with whatever you get Uh, and that's not true. We we've paid into it They they should be made to live on social security for one month The 40s and 50s we worked at 13 So from from the age of 13 until the age of 66 I paid into social security And and these benefits that I should be getting and I do not wish to see any of those cuts Could you talk a bit more about prescription drugs and what what is possible because right now Unless you have supplementary insurance you pay a fortune Oh, sorry No So they are under Medicaid and Medicare. So they do not pay anything So is is this different with the Americans who is already here like He's born here that they have to pay even if they have Medicare or Medicare So Medicare is something that you pay into as you're working and then when you turn 65 you have access to benefits No, those you mean and then okay and Medicaid can if you're if you're low income if you have income eligibility Medicaid can sort of fill in the difference So right now if you have Medicare There's typically a there's a A monthly premium that you pay And there's also usually about a 20% co-insurance for certain services So you can buy for an additional cost supplemental insurance But you're still even once you Earns the benefit you're still paying every month and then you're paying additionally for the services I know they do not have question because they do not have to pay anything I don't just to pay anything too. There are yeah Yeah, well, I pay a dollar or two dollars Yeah Yeah, there's a lot of seniors that are low income that don't have to pay more than a dollar or two I have a question for them I have a question for the elders So what i'm hearing is that you currently don't have to pay anything Just you know, I'm Brian Sheena. I'm a representative on the state level. I'm in the health care committee What helps us Is when we can tell stories To to prove why we need things And I'm wondering if you could tell us a little bit about how it would affect you if you lost your health care benefits In any way, and maybe what you're currently getting what kind of services are you currently getting that make improve your life So He's saying that We're very difficult for them because they're doing a lot of money What kind of care does medicaid allow you to There is a limit of 500 dollars which I know and then for dental and if they risk 500 they have to pay extra So She's saying that she's under medication. So she has to take like three There are different types of medications like she after she goes from here She has to take three medications and after that they she has to take Because she does have oxygen as well and if the medicaid is not there then she like Well, aren't we in vermont, I think we're one of the better places because we've had Medicaid and medicare You know my entire life. So I think that what's going to be sad is Low income. I don't know about immigrants. What they're going to do about that But low income people the less you have it's not going to really affect me But it's going to affect people that are like in the middle and that's not okay I think low income folks are also would be under threat if there are major cuts Yeah, so I think one of the challenges is The reason vermont is able to cover as many people with medicaid as we do is because we get funding from the federal government Yeah, and that's and so when that is cut if the middle class people will get no low income people Because if the federal government only gives us a certain it's the state of vermont a certain pot of money And says you guys need to figure this out The state is going to have to make choices as to who gets care and who doesn't Unfortunately, there's there are these uncertainties because of the national picture So, I mean it's just it's good that we're like hearing this and That I think that people stay involved is really crucial One thing I want to mention which I'll pass out is we just have Pretty simple like healthcare cards where we're collecting stories from folks which can be used to both pressure governor scott and legislators to help move forward with statewide programs like universal primary care And to to figure out how we can actually move toward a more universal and accessible healthcare system in the state of vermont It's there's more politically possible here than in the national picture So I would uh love to have anyone who has a story they want to share To actually put it down on one of these cards and we can follow up and continue the conversation and keep organizing to protect what we do have I think I heard that lunch is going to be served soon, but I want to address your question about drug pricing Sorry So there are many solutions to lower the drug prices here in the us a couple of the senator As we work really hard on our importation of lower-cost drugs from canada and other countries Canadian government About 40% less person than the usb And it's the same exact drugs and you know, canada is so close to here in so many other states in the country Be very simple to get the drugs here. So the senator has a bill to do that another policy would be to allow medicare to negotiate drug prices within the Fishery drug benefit program within medicare which could draft the lower prices as well For those of us who um Do have chronic illness I hit the the donut bowl early in the early summer Fortunately, I am on a state plan That helps me I'm proud I hate to say i'm on welfare, but as soon as you get a vermont state Fireman the v farm house Here consider medicare I still have my own home. I pay out I'm on very limited income And I pay out About 25% of my income in medical with medicare and Planned with a aarp that I don't have any deductibles because I find in the long run that is saving me a lot more money With no deductibles. No co-pays I I have some co-pays with the state But by staying in my own home, I'm not being subsidized in housing I'm saving the government money there How is that going to affect people like us? who Are fortunate I wouldn't be able to live If I couldn't have my own home Because I wouldn't be able to afford housing anywhere with taxes and And maintenance and all that goes without My lawn hasn't been mowed in three weeks because I had surgery on my hand and I can't pull the cord on the lawn more anymore So there's those services that we still have to maintain And how is that going to affect us?


3. Essential reasons for establishing rapport in the EFL classroom Whether teaching English or teaching mathematics, it is always important for teachers to establish rapport in their classroom. Rapport means a good relationship in which those concerned can communicate well with each other and understand each other's ideas. Not only is it important for a teacher to build a relationship with their students, but it is also important to create opportunities in the classroom where students can build relationships with each other. Establishing rapport is important because it will help the teacher manage the classroom effectively, it will allow the students to learn and grow together, and it will allow teachers to grow in their teaching abilities. Establishing rapport helps you to effectively manage your classroom. The first point that I would like to address is how establishing rapport helps a teacher manage their classroom effectively. One of the hardest things for a teacher is knowing how to help their students be engaged and be willing to participate in the class lesson. When a teacher has already built a relationship with their students, it can be easier for that teacher to communicate with them and also be able to recognize when they are disengaged or uninterested in the content of the lesson. This will then help them know that they should then alter their lesson by changing the activity or topic so that the students are able to learn in a better environment. Establishing rapport with students should be done on the very first day of the course so that after that day, the teacher is able to cover the material and their students will be receptive to it. Establishing rapport helps your students to learn effectively. Secondly, establishing rapport is important for helping students learn effectively in the classroom. When there is a relationship established between the students and the teacher, and between the students themselves, students are more likely to be motivated towards participating in activities and learning together. A good relationship creates a comfortable and stress-free environment for students which then allows them to understand and retain the information being covered in the lesson. When students are comfortable working together, they won't be embarrassed when they are asked to step out of their comfort zone and will therefore learn from their experiences in the classroom. They will also have opportunities to help each other if they are asked to work in groups that have stronger students paired with weaker students. If they know that there is no judgment coming from other students, they will be comfortable with trying new things and experimenting on the material covered. Establishing rapport helps you to grow and improve as a teacher. Thirdly, when teachers are able to establish good rapport with their students, it allows them to grow in progress in their abilities as a teacher. If a teacher does not feel comfortable in front of their students, they will not be able to try new ideas or step out of their own comfort zone as a teacher. On the other hand, if a teacher has already established rapport with their students, they will be able to connect with the students in a way that they can communicate well with one another. In the little teaching experience I've had, I was able to see that when I built a good relationship with my students, they were more open to new ideas or assignments that I gave them. During those times when they were open to my teaching style, I was able to gain the confidence I needed as a teacher to continue to grow in progress in my abilities. In conclusion, establishing rapport in a classroom is what will allow a teacher to grow and help their students grow at the same time. If relationships are not built at the beginning of a course, the effectiveness of the class will not be up to the potential it could be in students and teachers alike will miss out on opportunities to grow.

So you have a variable in your master menu and you want to adjust it from a button in the submenu. Not a problem. One way you can do this is with an event dispatcher. Go to the submenu with the trigger button and under the event dispatcher click add. Name it add an input and we'll name this variable index setter. We want to adjust an integer then in the design area go to your main menu and click the submenu that has the event dispatcher you just created. Then at the bottom under events you should see it down here click it and it should appear in the graph. Now you just drag the variable you want it to affect like so compile save then go back into the submenu with the button click trigger as usual drag out and call your event dispatcher and decide what you want to set that variable to I want this button to set the index to eight. So that's what I'm going to say here compile save you're done. Now you can see that every time we click the submenu button the main menu variable is updated. Hope that helps and as always I hope you have a fantastic day and I'll see you around.


We'll close the show with one of the more surreal show downs of the pandemic, this time pitching pop star Nicki Minaj against UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the BBC's political editor Laura Kuhnsberg. The story begins with this pretty wild tweet from Nicki Minaj to her 22 million followers. She says, my cousin in Trinidad won't get the vaccine because his friend got it and became impotent. His testicles became swollen. His friend was weeks away from getting married. Now the girl called off the wedding, so just pray on it and make sure you're comfortable with your decision, not bullied. It goes without saying that the vaccine doesn't make testicles bigger or cause impotence. That was confirmed by the US Centre for Disease Control. They felt the need to clarify that after that tweet because Nicki Minaj has so many followers. The next part of the story is that this came up in a Downing Street Press conference. A question was asked to Chris Whitty in fact and Boris Johnson also commented. Let's take a look. Professor Whitty, one of the world's biggest female celebrities, Nicki Minaj, is today publicly linked the coronavirus vaccines to impotence. Now she's got 8 million followers on Twitter, many of them are young people. The young people you're suggesting should get vaccinated. What would you say to them and how concerned are you by public comments like that from public figures? So there are a number of myths that fly around with varying, some of which are just clearly ridiculous and some of which are clearly designed just to scare. That happens to be one of them. That is untrue. My own strong suggestion, if I may, to media present and not present is repeating them in public actually just gives some credence which they don't need. They're untrue. Full stop. If you think about where we are actually overall, and this is a slightly longer answer to your question because I think it's a very important one, the great majority of people are getting vaccinated. So the great majority of people are ignoring these myths. And if you talk about people in their 50s and 60s and 70s, you're talking about over 90% of people getting vaccinated and very few people actually are actively in this sense in the anti-vax group. There are a group of people who've got strange beliefs and fine and they make their own choices and in a sense also fine. People are adults are allowed to make their own choices, however strange that is a basic principle of medical ethics actually. But there are also people who go around trying to discourage other people from taking a vaccine which could be life-saving or prevent them from having life-changing injuries to themselves. And many of those people I regret to say I think know that they are peddling untruths, but they still do it. In my view, they should be ashamed. And I'll leave it at that. And I look just on that Steve, I'm not familiar with the works of or not as familiar with the works of Nicki Minaj as I probably should be, but I am familiar with Nicki Canani, superstar GP of Bexley who's appeared many times on before you, who will tell you that vaccines are wonderful and everybody should get them. That's why I prefer to listen to Nicki Canani. Chris Whitty's answer there I think quite reasonable sort of saying that we focus a lot on people who are peddling misinformation or people who are genuine vaccine skeptics and less on people who were just a bit vaccine hesitant. They're probably the more important group to focus on. Back to the the flame war, Nicki Minaj was alerted to the fact that she had been brought up in this press conference and tweeted a video of Boris Johnson and Chris Whitty saying, I love him, even though I guess this was a diss, the accent, yes boo, with a lot of emojis. And then she followed that tweet up with this quite exceptional voice note. Yes, hello, Prime Minister Boris, it's Nicki Minaj. I was just calling to tell you that I thought you were so amazing on the news this morning and I'm actually British. I was born there. I went to university there. I went to Oxford. I went to school with Margaret Thatcher and she told me so many nice things about you. I'd love to send you my portfolio of my work, since you don't know much about me.  I went to school with Margaret Thatcher and I'm very famous in the States. I feel like she made up almost. I suppose that a vaccine misinformation is more consequential. You can't just make up for that with a funny voice note, but she got part of the way there, I think. Nicki Minaj has put her fans through an awful lot. I feel like she hasn't really been okay since Cardi B came on the scene and since then she's just been moving very, very mad and exhausting all of her fans who need to defend her. I think that the barbs are tired and you need to give them a break, Nicki. She did say elsewhere on her Twitter that she is probably going to get the vaccine before she goes on tour, but I'm also just disappointed with her because I'm like, if you had told me a week ago that there would be a fight between where Laura Coonsburg, Piers Morgan, and Boris Johnson were on one side and Nicki Minaj was on the other side, you couldn't have paid me enough money to convince me that I wouldn't be on Nicki Minaj's side and yet 2021 continues to uppercut me in terms of just completely spinning me, but it was hysterical, but also get the vaccine. Yeah, get the vaccine. Yeah, she has been over the past 24 hours very keen to stress she isn't actually an anti-vaxxer. She's saying, I'm open to this, I just want people to do their research. I suppose the problem with that line is, I mean, the research she's doing and encouraging people to do isn't the kind of research you should really be taking on board. If your cousin's friend got swollen testicles and then their wife didn't marry them, that's not scientific research. So I do think that while everyone should do their own research, that's fine, that's good, but we should also recognize that, well, I personally do this, I recognize that my knowledge of vaccine safety and vaccine efficacy is very much limited. And so if there's an overwhelming scientific consensus that these are safe vaccines and they're very effective vaccines, then no matter what you tell me your cousin's friend had happened, I'm not going to actually consider listening to you as me doing research. I'm going to just dismiss that out of hand, which probably Nicki Minaj should have done as well, right? Yeah, I think with the people who do their own research, it's like, there are people whose job it is to actually do this research. And I don't think that you have a full lab, testing lab in your garage where you're going to personally test these vaccines out. But also, it's just like, oh, is this what men are doing to get out of cheating accusations now? Like when they are getting STDs from cheating on their girlfriends, they're just going to be like, oh, no, it's a side effect of the vaccine. That's why I've done all kinds of madness. It's innovative. I have to rate it. But also, don't bring your cousin's friend into it like that. It's disrespectful. The other people were suggesting is that maybe the cousin's friend's fiance was a bit harsh to call off a wedding because he was impotent for two weeks. But I think probably more likely she actually knew that it was, I mean, maybe she called off the wedding because the excuse was so ridiculous. Let's go to Laura Kuhnsberg. She was caught in the crossfire. She had quoted Minaj's response to Boris Johnson saying, 2021, everyone, Nicki Minaj responds. Yes, 2021, when jackasses hang onto my every tweet, but can't decipher sarcasm and humor and can't read, go away Dumbo. You're still siding with Kuhnsberg, Johnson, and Witty after that drive-by. So tough, man. Why do you have to do this to me, Nicki? Let me support you in this. If it was anything else, I would have been like, great, let's go. But I have no choice. I guess it's my duty as having a teeny, tiny platform. No, I should take my response. I was starting to kind of be team Nicki, but you're right. We should take our platforms more seriously, even if one side is more funny and talented and likable. If they're the ones promoting vaccine misinformation, we should side with the people who aren't doing that.
