Hi, I'm a S-Mod from a german One Piece Community and we have a little problem with volume 21, chapter 193. It's the scene, where Crocodile is talking about the ancient weapon Pluton.
Stephen's Scripts say this:
Crocodile: "PLUTON".
With one shot, it can supposedly destroy an island and all its inhabitants without a trace…
An ancient weapon that carries the name of "God"!!
It should be hiding somewhere in this country...
My true goal has been THAT the entire time.
With it, I can create the greatest "military nation" ever, right here...!!!
In NULL's translation he also only talks about the "ancient weapon Pluton" and so he does in several fansubs of the anime series.
Soo, where is the problem, you ask?
Two (or maybe three) of the official european manga publishers didn't translate it with Pluton, they translated it with "plutonic stones/rocks" or "plutonium", if you want to call it that way.
This happened only once and especially the german publisher is doing A LOT of translation mistakes, so imho this was simply an error. And of course Pluton was declared as a warship in the W7 arc, so for me this riddle was solved very easily… BUT there are some users in our forum, who don't want to accept this and are calling Stephen's translations inaccurate and so on... -.-'
Now there is a little war in our forum about that crap and I want to end it... So, are there some Japanese around here, who have the original manga and can tell me, what is written in chapter 193? Just tell me, if there is something written about stones/rocks/plutonium or not, close this thread and end of story. ^^
Thx for the help.
Fierce
PS: And don't laugh about this... ^^ I didn't want to ask that here, but it was necessary in some way... Our "Pluton discussion" is old and bloody...
