Wondering where did they get the all hair dye back in the pirate days?

You might want to skip this one. There will be at least 967 things less likely to have been available in historical “pirate days” than hair dye (beginning, I suppose, with the straw hat kid’s highly extendable arm/fist), and we wouldn’t want your head to explode from incredulity.

I just don’t know about this at all. One Piece just doesn’t seem like the type of anime that would translate well to live action.

Didn’t know about that one, but I’m not surprise! People have been dying their hair for ages!

The brazilian natives, the original people, love to dye the hair and the skin. It is used to protect the skin, as cosmetics and ritual painting.
Huh, I think I derailed this conversation…

But it’s an educational derail, so it’s fine!

This is one of those animes I have heard about, but seen zero actual content. I hope it lives up to fan expectations.
I was excited for the live action Cowboy Bebop, but after the reviews and friends comments, I haven’t made myself watch it yet

I’ve never watched the anime or read the manga, but Kumamoto (a city I hope to call home next year) has a series of statues which were installed to help with fundraising for the aftermath of the 2016 earthquake - Eiichiro Oda, author of ONE PIECE was born and raised in Kumamoto City:
While I was there in May I saw the most Japanese thing ever - a very polite queue of people waiting to take photos with the Monkey D. Luffy statue:

They showed a little of Luffy’s devil fruit power CGI. I wonder how well they managed future Emperor Buggy’s power?

I have to admit I never came into contact with One Piece before, and what you wrote there makes no sense whatsoever for me. Which probably makes this the funniest thing I read all day. 
If future archeologists would unearth such sentences in, say, 3000 years, what would they make of it? (I recently had fun with different translations of cuneiform tablets, and some of the stuff definitely made no sense whatsoever to me, and possibly also not to the people who did the transliteration and translation…)
After 1065 episodes, in a complicated world and story, yeah, I’m not going to explain it.
As for future archeologists, my only suggestion, if they’re reading the manga, is to read it right to left.
