@BernieCrane:
Fixed the issue with "killing joker" (the reader on the website and the download link will show you a new version now).
Regarding Ideo's line, this is what our translator had to say:
Could you guys try to preserve the ‘emphatic marks’ that Oda-sensei deliberately inserts in his text?
For instance, when ‘Sheepshead’s goons mentioned the ‘samurai’, the word ‘samurai’(侍) (サムライ) was stressed in the Japanese version with quotation marks. There was another stress with brackets in the speech bubble containing the ‘report’ regarding the ‘samurai’ by Sheepshead’s female partner.
However, when I read the English version of ‘Tsukai’, the emphatic marks were not included.
Cnet also didn’t include those emphatic marks. I am usually punctilious when it comes to these things. I would really love it if you preserved those emphatic marks.
Another thing that I would really like to be preserved in your beautiful work is the visual emotional state/reaction of a person inside the speech bubbles.
For instance, when Caesar was agreeing to Sanji’s orders, there was a ‘popping vein’ depicting his irritation or anger toward Sanji(bottom-left speech bubble).
But in the English version that was completely removed during the cleaning of the speech bubbles.
This tends to lead our interpretation astray because there is, in the English version, only the ‘sweat spurt’ (above the speech bubble), and that expresses ‘worry’, in my humble opinion. So the whole thing in this speech bubble sounds as though it was said ‘worriedly’, whereas the first part ‘I’ll go!!’ is the only part that expresses ‘worry’. The rest of the text ‘you’ll regret this’ with the ‘popping vein’ makes it clear that it expresses ‘anger’.
Finally, thank you for your hard work on providing us with unparalleled, free One Piece chapters. I really love and appreciate your work.:happy:

Anyway, guys. The Yonta Maria’s titanic size reminds me of 'Noah'.
Do you guys think the shipbuilders who built the Yonta Maria could be the descendants of the same ones about whom the Sea Kings were talking when the Noah was almost destroyed beyond repair?
