This is a quote from a 16th century spanish conquistador and poet:
And worthy credence these things he affirmed;
The soldiers, light of heart and well content,
Then dubbed him El Dorado, and the name
By countless ways was spread throughout the world.
This is from the Oxford dictionary:
Spanish El Dorado, the name of a fabled country or city in South America believed to abound in gold
Maybe, the very first spaniard who told the legend just meant it as a descripton, but over the centuries, it has clearly, undoubtedly become a name. Of a man, of a city whatever. There are no rules to what a name can be, anything can be a name, The Big City could be a name, it matters how it is used and there's no way anyone (or the vast majority of readers, because apparently you do) reads El Dorado in an english manga (probably not even native spanish speakers) and thinks that's a translation for city of gold, and not a name.
The spanish One Piece translation did not go with El Dorado, they went with Ciudad del Oro. On the Spanish One Piece wiki for Shandora it says:
Shandora parece también estar en parte basada en la leyenda de El Dorado, la ciudad de oro.
"Shandora appears to be partly based on the legend of El Dorado, the city of gold."
So native spanish speakers capitalize El Dorado, which is only done for names and feel the need to add that it's the city of gold, even though they all know what it translates to.
If Oda had called it the ghost of the ship or ship ghost (whatever that would be in japanense, according to google something like "Fune no yūrei") and then Viz would be like, let's translate it to Klabautermann, that would be similar. But since that isn't what happenend, it's not relevant at all to this discussion.
This set did contain manga panels from the Egghead arc in color, but they look vastly different from what we've seen up to this point. The colors are flat, with very little shading done to them. The color palette is also very different from what we're used to. Since Volume 106 doesn't have an official color release, it's impossible to confirm whether or not the panels will actually look like this. But I highly doubt it, as it's inconsistent with how Oda has colored Egghead color spreads and volume covers so far.
As you can see, any card with a panel from the Egghead arc was like this. The set contained cards with manga panels not from Egghead, and these panels looked identical to the official colored manga, as you'd expect. So it's not like this is simply how Namco is going to be doing manga panel cards from here on out. It's very perplexing indeed.
