What does the word "jiken" on young Luffy's shirt mean in Japanese?


In this context, _jiken_ ([事件](https://jisho.org/word/%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6))
means "incident" or "case".

The full picture indicates _tamago jiken_ which literally means "the egg
incident" where a chick is killed due to the egg getting cracked.

There might not be any deeper meaning considering Oda's nature of humor.
