The Richard family is a rowdy lot that cause mayhem and havoc wherever they travel. Getting them together all in one place is against the law in fifty two countries and is a federal offense punishable by fifty lashes with a wet noodle, so getting the family together is always a hard process. There is careful planning. Fake identities are created so as to evade the overly cautious arm of the law. This proves especially difficult for the famous Luffy Richard who is so recognizable he can barely leave the ice without a fan asking him how long he has played on the North Stars. So the hundreds of Richards all gather in a public place but sit at different tables and talk to each other using Morse code which is hard because Luffy never learned it fluently so he just shouts “what?” To which his family thinks to themselves “this is what happens when you spend your life stopping pucks with your face” sure this is a strange way to visit family, but this is how it has to be after the ruckus the Richards caused during the “great family reunion of 09” overall the food was terrible and Luffy was confused the entire time.
