Lol no wonder parts of this chapter felt weird thanks for the translation clarification

 

[Spinx]

Which was an expected mistranslation of MP. Here's a more accurate translate from Aohige: "He tells Law that Roci didn't save him because he was a D. Don't attempt to give reasoning to the love you received from him. "

Oh, MP.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

More loose ends and ending in a big what. If that blows up into ten plus chapters of action then I don't know what's going on any more.

This is definitely a chapter where you have to laugh at the silly pandas and read ms instead.

 

[Kornflayx]

I feel like there needs a big infographic every Thursday to not base your theories and discussions of specific scenes on MP translations.

And just so everyone knows, this is the correct translation of the last page: "Why should I run, just because he's an admiral? We're through with that crap 2 years ago!
Whether it's a marine admiral or an emperor it doesn't matter, I need to beat them all to go forward! Otherwise I can't become the Pirate King!!"

MP screwed up big time this week

 

[Neoriceisgood]

The best way to read mangapanda is to assume at least half the dialogue means the exact opposite of what's implied.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Luffy doesn't show his back to the enemy any more.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Luffy doesn't show his back to the enemy any more.

That Whitebeard influence.

But honestly him "running away" doesnt really fit his position anymore in the narrative. Luffy just took out Doflamingo and is starting battles with Yonkous...would be silly for him to run from enemies at this point in the story. He is a big shot and acting like one...no more backing down.

Oh wow, lol. I should've figured.

Speaking of translations, yet another reason to buy the books is the great wording/phrasing used in them. I've compared a few chapters of the books with a few chapters from various online translations and the books always come up on top. The worst translations imo are when they not only mistranslate meanings but also use the Japanese words for "emperor", "seven warlords of the sea" etc. which is just silly.

 

[Jigolo]

Lmao that last page

 

[Lexxism]

The last page was great. I can't wait to see Usopp and likes reactions :lol

 

[TheGreatDirector]

It's interesting to see Sengoku's side of the Corazon story considering the inner conflict faced by Corazon when being with Law.

Luffy gives no fucks anymore. No way is this gonna be an all out fight from both sides but it'll still be interesting.

I do sincerely wonder if anyone is gonna join Luffy's crew at the end of this arc.

 

[Jigolo]

New world is almost an exact copy as grnad line like I've noticed back when Dressrosa began to show it's similarities to Alabasta. When Luffy first took down Croc, a warlord.


Real new world starts now

 

[Zeus Molecules]

That MP mis translation was so off base.

 

[Kornflayx]

LOL best MS translation this week:

Spoiler

"Tell me, is it hard to breath with your head so far up your ass?"

Completely caught me off guard, I'm dying here.

 

[BatDan]

You guys really need to stop reading Pandas. Their translation is so bad that it's memetic, even being used for the Pirate Warriors 3 thread over in Gaming.
Were they the ones that spelled it "Stray Hat Luffy" back in Punk Hazard?

Anyway, great chapter. Loved the closure with Law and Sengoku.
Luffy punched out Issho! Shit's going down! Though it's likely something will happen and they'll still run away.

 

[Grexeno]

You know, Fujitora was probably just going to rebuild the island with all that rubble, not throw it at people.

 

[Syntsui]

You know, Fujitora was probably just going to rebuild the island with all that rubble, not throw it at people.

That may build a good excuse to put the Marines as the heros and Luffy as the bad pirate that he is. Also, there is that kidnapping stuff, Marine's PR will be busy later on;

 

[Raxus]

I know Oda is probably going to weasel out of the fight (for good reason) but those last panels were pretty hype. This is a great way of establishing Fujitora. Look forward to more stuff from him in the future.

 

[Chariot]

Well, Fujitora could be weakend too from the donating and thug legit being defeated by Luffy, even if he tries or he could not try at all and go "Oh no, I am totally defeated, whooo~" with Sengoku and Otsuru just telling Marine HQ that Fujitora was still weak from saving the kingdom and then ambushed by evil Strawhat and his bunch of evil evildoers to save his face.

 

[Blackhead]

Which was an expected mistranslation of MP. Here's a more accurate translate from Aohige: "He tells Law that Roci didn't save him because he was a D. Don't attempt to give reasoning to the love you received from him. "

Goddamn it MP.

 

[MetatronM]

Why do you guys even look at MP in the first place? Just wait a few hours. The chapter isn't going anywhere.


Also, this was basically me for the last page or two:

 

[Kreed]

I'm surprised people still read MP translations after all this time. I know they are usually first but they are wrong most of the time regardless of the manga and there have been times where they are even missing pages. At the very least read a better quality version of the chapter later.

As for the chapter, it would be nice if Luffy actually does fight Fujitora but I have a feeling he will be interrupted somehow.

 

[Tathanen]

For real. For me the chapter just Isn't Out Yet until it's out at The Other Place.

Yeah, hopefully. Luffy shouldn't be ready yet to face an admiral head on.

I only read MP because MS used to have a ton of redirecting ads on mobile but they fixed it recently

Not today for me they didn't. ;_; It was a constant struggle.

I read the official release when that comes out. Part of the reason I still do MP is because they can get it so wrong, I find that entertaining as hell.

 

[Kater]

Wait, why does Bastille have his mask? I thought it was destroyed by Sabo earlier? Or does he have replacements?

Also, Law being so cool with just letting Doflamingo live on is really odd. Does he bet on Kaidou finishing him?

 

[Lunar15]

That part with Sengoku and Law was great. Oda's so good at those moments. He excels at emotional payoff.

I also really liked the part where Rosinante compared Law's hatred of the world to Doflamingo's. Provided a lot of context for why he'd go out of his way to help Law.

 

[Diablos54]

Not today for me they didn't. ;_; It was a constant struggle.

Fucking this. Every single page of Bleach and OP apart from like 2, so frustrating.
Those last pages made it all worth it though!

 

[NSESN]

I don't think Luffy will beat Fuji, something or someone will stop the battle.

 

[Cloud Strife]

I don't think Luffy will beat Fuji, something or someone will stop the battle.

That, or Fujitora won't fight. His facial expression (imo) make it seem like he'd rather not be doing this in the first place.

It's also heavily implied that he's just a nice guy in general and drove all the other non Baby 5/Buffalo/Law kids away on purpose.

 

[Lunar15]

I can't get over how well Oda handled Law in the past two arcs. I feared he'd go overboard and shove him into everything because he's so popular, but in the end he gave him a great arc, great characterization, but also didn't make him feel forced. It was a great backdrop for the entire arc.

 

[Johnlenham]

Haha the "OI u remember me?!" then the next bit made me laugh outloud.

It really makes me wish that Law would be a strawhat, but now I hope for some good fleshing out of his crew and how he came to meet them.

 

[Taborcarn]

Well I bet ol' Fujitora didn't see that one coming!

...

...I'll see myself out.

Wow. I didn't know Law got popular.

 

[Chariot]

Wow. I didn't know Law got popular.

Wasn't he popular since he was sitting on that box on the Archipelago? His design and personality is just rad and appealing. Combine that with a decent backstory and you got yourself a super popular character. You want receipts, you get receipts.

2008

2014

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Law and Ace have always been the most popular non-Straw Hats since their introduction. They're both cool characters that appeal to a lot of people (there are so many female readers who literally love both Law and Ace). Similarly, Hancock has always been extremely popular in Japan (personally I'm not a big fan of that character). Croco got a big popularity boost after his re-appearance. We've definitely not seen the last of him.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

Law has that teen angst vote sewn up it's no surprise that he is popular. The kid never smiles and always looks like he wants to get revenge on the world. I think that Naruto had the problem of Sasuke being way more popular than the lead for the same reason.

The real mystery to me is Marco

Never smiles? He was basically introduced with a smug smile.

I'm surprised Ace popularity is still holding up after all these years.

 

[Lunar15]

What? no. Definitely not. No desire to see him be a straw hat from me. Just because a character is cool doesn't mean they need to join the crew, at least in my opinion.

Either way, Alliance is the name of the game in the new world, so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he sticks around for quite a while.

Marco is a fucking phoenix, your argument is invalid.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Marco just seems like a cool laid back dude...would have a beer with him.

He's fleshed out with such care that it almost makes him seem like crew-status.

Of course he isn't going to be, but I wish that he was and would have no problems with it. I want the Law-Luffy Alliance to continue all the way to the end.

 

[grandjedi6]

I always find it funny how Usopp got screwed over in the 2008 poll because they counted Usopp and Sogeking votes separately. Otherwise he would have been in the top 10 instead of Law. A rare form of in-universe humor carrying over into marketing.
