i think hibari is the first female character we’ve seen in one piece to speak in hiroshima-ben! normally you see it more with male characters, since it’s sort of stereotyped as the tough guy/yakuza dialect- for example jinbe also speaks in hiroshima-ben, and akainu has a quite heavy hiroshima dialect. with hibari, you can most obviously see it in her use of uchi as her personal pronoun, instead of the more standard watashi or atashi for women.

WOO! Hobbies for all of the SWORD members have been revealed!
They all fit very well, specially Helmeppo’s! Cute to see Koby kept his love for fishing!
Funny to see that Prince likes dancing, Hibari’s are also very cute and fit her so well
Kujaku’s first one is… questionable but the making sweats one is nice, we already knew X Drake’s but it’s always funny to remember how much of a nerd he is

📘 Reading One Piece, random comments:
I loved this moment. I loved Helmeppo jumping/flying/whatever to catch Koby and their little talk while flying/falling.
"You did it! That was seriously amazing!!"
"Helmeppo-san...!! I really did it..."
It was sweet. And intimate.
...
But then, Hibari arrived 🙄

Oh, what kind of vibes does using uchi give, then? Also, isn’t it typically used as like… Our household, or something silimar? Is there a you pronoun specific to hiroshima-ben?
uchi is used to mean household/family/in-group in standard japanese, yes! it literally means 'inside', but in that use typically its used in combination with no (possessive) and can be translated best as 'our.' for example, uchi no ko is 'our/my household's child.' in one piece it's also frequently used to refer to crewmates- uchi no senchou for 'our captain', uchi no sogeki for 'our sniper,' etc. i misread hibari's first lines of dialogue at first because i wasn't expecting the dialect and initially assumed she was using uchi to refer to herself and helmeppo collectively, to give you an example.
i'm pretty sure in dialectal use as a first-person pronoun it is still mostly used by women, so it does feel feminine, and maybe a little slangy or provincial (since that's the vibe often assigned to the western dialects generally)? because i haven't seen it used this way often it's kind of difficult for me to say.
