Nay, there's already a "hippo" theme several colorspreads back. Remember the hippo with a crown?
If it's going to be a big, friendly animal, I'd say a cow, or a rhino.

^^ Hah, yeh it was just a random example. Hippo was just the first animal that popped into my head.
"Vivi wasn´t on the color spread because she fought with the Strawhats against Baroque Works but because she was traveling with the Strawhats in between four islands."
"So if in the next color spread Franky should be dining on a hippo with the Mugiwara Pirates, then it should be clear that he will probably will be traveling together with them since the hippo picknick wouldn´t have anything to do with the fighting against CP9."
Right, yeh. I understand Franky & Vivi's appereance(s) on the colour spreads are motivated by entirely different things. This spread was arc-centric, directly relating to the current & upcoming events in the manga, whereas Vivi's were more to do with her travels with the crew.
So yeh, if Franky were to appear in the next one of those random, fantasy type spreads, it would be a very strong indication of him being more than just a guy who happens to be fighting on the behalf of the Strawhats, as some people see it now. As it would have no connections to the current story or CP9 whatsoever, like you said.
"Peruh did also fight alongside the Strawhats against BW but was he on any color spread, nope."
Huh? Carue's in plenty of the spreads. Though, he's not every single one featuring Vivi.
Uh… I think he meant Pell, judging by the distance of "c" and "p" on the keyboard.
Thanks for the chapter (pitifully late as always), and especially for the translation.
Things're definitely heating up. I look forward to next week's chapter.
Uh… I think he meant Pell, judging by the distance of "c" and "p" on the keyboard..
Ah, ok. Yeh, Peruh=Pell in German, didn't think of that. Just sounded more like 'Carue', I guess. :wacko:
Yeah, It really seems that some colorspreads has a connection with the current arc
Chapter 310- It only shows Luffy, Usopp and Robin that will make the readers wonder why the rest of the crew are absent. Then further in the story, they left the crew.
Chapter 327- We've seen the crew on a train with the head of GM. A few chapters before that is the introduction of Puffing Tom.
Chapter 373- Usopp and Robin are not included here this time which seems to be a sequel from 310. They already left the crew here.
Chapter 377- Franky is included here which is a great sign that he's the next member.
Way back when they are still on Drum Kingdom. I remember a colorspread that only shows Luffy, Sanji and Nami. That time, Nami was sick then and she was being delivered by Luffy/Sanji to the doctor.
I conclude that Oda rarely draw a colorspread that is related with the current or an ongoing story.
@Battle:
Ah, ok. Yeh, Peruh=Pell in German, didn't think of that. Just sounded more like 'Carue', I guess. :wacko:
Yep, that´s what I meant. Sorry for causing this confusion Battle Franky. I´m still somewhat biased to this name since it was the first version I´ve heard and since sometimes the pronounciation in the anime could also be understood as Peruh.
However if some of you guys who knows japanese tells me that his written name defitely can´t be read as Peruh, then I´ll retreat from this spelling permanentally. This is not an invitation for an argument but a request to clear something up that I couldn´t do myself.
@Bubut:

Some of the colorspreads feature the StrawHats in pairs. Look at the one with the giraffe, where they are sitting on the couch;
Usopp and Nami, sitting side by side.
Robin and Chopper; the only ones with the wine glasses.
Zoro and Sanji.
Luffy is the only one that sits on a higher level.
The colorspread with the Hippo-King:
Usopp and Nami on the same… bike.
Robin and Chopper on the same boat.
Zoro and Sanji on the same boat.
Luffy, being singled out again, is in mid-air.
Anyways, those are my observations.

its really an anti-climatic way of revealing whos the new ship wright crappy writing by Oda=(
but i suppose everything he does cant be great=D

Um, why? He maybe just thought that all the hints he gave throughout this arc would be enough to know who the next shipwright will be so the color spread wouldn´t be a spoiler.
pell sounds like pelu or peru, but not like the country (the "u" sounds shorter). i think i would have translated it as pelu.
ooshi78
cause its like someone telling you the end of the movie while your watching it atleast to me….
i would have prefered to see it in the story instead
In my mind, it's Pell as in Bell. At first when I was reading crappy Japanese raw, I couldn't tell if it's P or B so I was calling him Bell ^^; I think I still have post somewhere that I wrote it Bell…
http://www.mangadownloads.org/forum/index.php?board=16;action=display;threadid=998;start=0#msg8355 <- Oh that's an OOOOOLD post when I first started to read One Piece…

Tone down that punctuation buddy =D Anyway there is no chapter this week because Jump is a double issue. Next week should be different.
<- Oh that's an OOOOOLD post when I first started to read
2004? So you haven't been reading that long?
@omae:
2004? So you haven't been reading that long?
Longer than I've been reading.
i started reading in 2004 too… maybe 2003 (when was the end of alabasta?)
@omae:
2004? So you haven't been reading that long?
Nope, I'm a newbie :steve: I wasn't that much into Manga until 2003 and wasn't introduced to raws until 2004. Before that, I was just an average Japanese Manga reader; read Tanko but nothing online. And I met scanlations, then met raws and I've become an Otaku :wacko:
I have only been reading a couple months maybe, I was caught up with all the chapters in about a week though.
Haha back on topic pleases! Anyways, have been into One Piece seens 2002. When I was 12. I was soooo noob back then.
This supposed colour spread in 378… the suspense is killing moi!
I hope for Usopp to brandish his weapon and give us an explanation to what its about…
and I can't wait to see how Luffy deals with all those marines/agents :)
i started reading one piece in march 2004 then i got serious about it in august 2004. and been reading ever since. (by serious i mean reading online and stuff):steve:

I just saw that and burst out laughing, I've been looking at Op out of context too much
I want to see Usopp brandish his weapon too.
Yup; what made 377 so awesome is his new weapon's appearance XD
I've always wanted Oda to make Usopp cooler, and now I can't believe it!

what weapons?!!!111 are you refaring to the colored page? or do i have a diffrent chapter?
Yeah, he's referring to the color spread. Of course we haven't actually seen it in the chapter yet, who knows, maybe he only drew it in the color spread because it looks cool. =p
When will the new issue come out?
How many times did you ask this exact question in this exact same thread? Did it ever cross your mind that you would receive an answer if somebody knew?
Actually…
Mr. 394 came back to Death Note thread yesterday (of course with a short spoiler). TOC was out already on Tuesday. That's why I was still hoping to get next chapter within this week, or at least spoiler, but erm... 5pm on Friday already :/
Either way, there are definitely Jumps out there... We just have to be good kids and wait patiently.
When will the new issue come out?
IT WILL COME OUT WHEN IT COMES OUT.
ask once more and i will have to smite you.

Well, were nearing monday and it's 6:17 here in Colorado Springs
WTF man !!! it will be out by next friday if we are lucky.
How about we all take our minds off of such bothersome things like when this next chapter will be out and think about how many twists and turns this arc has given us. I mean, there hasn't been many in the entire series, and during this arc we've gotten a heapin' helping of surprises every couple of chapters, it seems.
I wonder if this is a sign of things to come from Oda, who usually adds a healthy dose of foreshadowing.

Yes, that's why I've just LOVED this arc so much. I keep wondering how he's going to top it, with not even being near the end (supposedly). I'm really hoping for a grand, climactic and highly emotional conclusion to the whole thing. =) 'Cause I like that kind of stuff.
I'm not sure if this was discussed, but when Franky said he has a plan, did he just say that so they wouldn't worry about him, or do you think he really has something planned? I can't imagine what, being chained up at Enies Lobby and all.
and don't forget, what he did with the 200M beri is still unknown.
i think he used the money to bribe bush and cheney to direct range nuclear missiles attack to enies lobby.
@e1n:

I haven't forgotten. I'm still quite curious to know what he spend that money on. It's either going to be something that he's going to give to the straw-hats or it'll be something completely stupid and useless. :P

heh heh…no comment. XD
The ultimate end to the World Government… being declared terrorists by the US and having a forcible... uh... "regime change."
maybe franky bought some kind of upgrade or super weapon ^ ^ oda is just full of surprises
The ultimate end to the World Government… being declared terrorists by the US and having a forcible... uh... "regime change."
Haha, US > World? XD
Oh, man. My tummy's aching from laughing so hard wipes tear
Well, we know several certain things about the $200 Million:
So, what does this lead to? Absolutely nothing. I'm saying he either bought upgrades for himself or the necessary materials to start either his dream ship or a shipyard of their own, (since they are the rejects of the Galley-La Company)
I'm not sure if this was discussed, but when Franky said he has a plan, did he just say that so they wouldn't worry about him, or do you think he really has something planned? I can't imagine what, being chained up at Enies Lobby and all.
I for one think that there was really more to it then just saying to make the other´s worry less about him. I think that the following things are linked to it:
Now my theory is that from the very beginning Franky founded the FF for an assault for Enies Lobby. If that is the case then it would mean that they´ve always been mentally prepared for it and it would explain why everyone of them was heading for FF while from Galley-la there went only three guys.
I don't think Franky has an assault planned here, since the only physical ally he has is Robin. But I do think the 200 mil will help him kick ass somehow. Or just be a stupid little thing.
When will the new issue come out? HA HA HA HA
i smell burning flesh -_-
also believing that Frankys 200mi will be applied either in the dream ship or into Franky himself… altough Franky behaves like a idiot most of the time, he seems very smart to me
Nah I don´t think that Franky´s personal dream and the combined aim from Franky Family (which includes him) are the same. It would somehow ruin it for me when a group of 60 people would all add their 2 cents into something that Franky wants to create out of his own. You can´t call it your personal dream ship if other guys gave their input too.
And just to make myself understandable on how I think that it may be plausible that both wishes don´t necessarily have to be the same I´ll bring a non-One Piece example.
Let´s say for instance that I would want to write a book, in other words I would like to create an artistic piece of work. That would be my dream.
And then let´s say that I´m living with together with my girlfriend under miserable conditions for three years and the both of us wish to get enough money so that we can move to a dream house. That would be something that we both would be amaing for and could achieve when the money comes.
Now are the both wishes the same? No! People have lots of different aims in life, but mostly only few great dreams. Building the dream ship is what I consider Franky´s dream. Getting something worth 200 million Beli is what I consider an aim.
It´s just my personal reading of the entire thing. I can´t back it up with anything else as with personal interpretation.
That money, in one form or another, will be/has been put to use in a wonderful way that the crew will be able to appreciate.
Wasn't it 199 million? He did have 1 million left over which he used to treat the people at Blueno's. If it was a dream ship, wouldn't he have wanted to spend every single berry he could on it?
Remember, he also gave the Frankies 5 million berrie for actually stealing the money, before he left. So he would've spent 194 million on whatever he bought.

Or maybe he blew it all on hookers
