Re-reading One Piece from the beginning has proven to be a rather entertaining venture. Really, in terms of conveying sheer
scale, this manga is perhaps one of the best.
The Aqua Laguna, the Gate of Justice, the massive to-Skypiea launching stream, the giant land fish, the Ark, the Marine-Whitebeard grand melee, etc etc etc.
Anyone care to guess what is the relation between Luffy and Roger? Especially the "D" part. It's rather amazing (or is it annoying? heh) that we have gone more than 60 volumes already and yet Oda barely touches that.
Literally, it translates to "Seven Military Seas." But since that sounds really dumb, ""Seven Warlords of the Sea" is the translation used by Viz, 4Kids and Funi.
Aaaah so the official translators use some liberty in translating it. Yea "Seven Military Seas" seem stupid. "He is one of the Military Seas!" doesn't have a nice ring to it, haha.
Ah well, "Shichibukai" is cool sounding enough, heh.
