A pretty nice chapter.
There's no Jump next week btw
is it me or did the ship gain claws. if you check the picture of the ship when its first shown it doesn't have claws but in the chapter it does???
it's the anchors of the Sunny go. cool, but not as baddass as a huge cannonball though.
Looks like Tashigi and Vivi suffer from Nami-itits.
(All their body fat goes up to their…Boobs.)
Best thing to suffer from, ever! If you're not a guy.
Holy Shit Its Already Out!? I Love Today! Thanks a bunch BF for the upload.

Marines: The pirates are escaping the Shipwreck Island
Luffy(i assume): Do you best, Beast King!!
Crew: Oi, reinforcements are coming!
Zanbai: He did it!!
The long-nose ni-chan got on the ship!!
Now they're all there, all that's left is to escape!
(Bottom panel): Run Strawhat-san!!
Bro!!Page 04
Look!! What's that!?
The pirates withdrew their sails!!
Do they have a plan!?
Garp: If they do have a plan… what sort of plan is this...!?
Franky: Hurry, fold the sails!!
Hey is this ok Franky?!!
Franky: You idiot, believe in the ship.
Luffy: That's right, believe in the ship idiot!!
Ussop: This idiot. Damn Idiot!!
Zoro: YOU IDIOTS!!!
Nami:Ussop and the idiots are dancing...
Zoro(small bubble): Help me you you idiots!!
Nami(small): Well, that's ok but...Luffy: What?! The ship's name!? Right now!?
Franky: Yea, A ship can't set off without a name you know.
(small bubble): Some kinda "Lion" name?Luffy: Yosh!! I'll give it a strong name!! "Bear!! White Bear!! Lion!!"
Ussop: Have you ever heard of a ship with such a weird name!!!
Luffy: Ok then, "Tiger!! ?????(couldn't get this kanji) !!! Lion!!"
Ussop: Stop lining up animal names!! What's wrong with you!!!
Luffy: "Squid!! Octopus!! Chimpanzee!!"
Ussop: There wasn't even a Lion in that one!!!Franky: I have a suggestion for the ships name myself.
(): What a nice figurehead...
Iceburg: Iya, really
Galley-la foreman: Yes, it's a beautiful sunflower.
Franky: Wrong! You idiots!!!
Iceburg: Nma, "You can't name it. The ships name has to embody the wishes of the pirates boarding it" Right Franky?
Franky: Exactly. It should be named when it's on it's maiden voyage....
Iceburg: Yes, "Sun"
Franky: "Wrong, you Idiot!!
Iceburg:If you become a pirate you'd said "A Thousand Seas" like "The Sun". What a great ship, it's perfect for them.
Franky: I keep talking you you're wrong, Bakaburg!!!
Iceburg: They how about this name Franky.. . The pirate ship...
Page 05
Franky: Thousand Sunny!!!
Luffy: Ooooh!!?

On an island in the Grand Line
Marine: Capitan Smoker!!
Marine: Good work!!
Smoker: This pirate is only 50,000,000 !? Damn
Smoker: What's happening around here... !!!
Smoker: Man, just gimme a day of rest...
Tashigi: Smoker-san!!
Marine: Tashigi-shoi****Smoker: Marines are marines.. The Navy is an organization like this.
Smoker: What we Marines need right now is Blood.
Smoker: We need a group stronger than the Strawhats
Tashigi: Yes..
Smoker: I bet my pride that I will crush them in "The New World"![The Grand Line's sand country. Arabasta]
Cobra: Nico Robin…. !? All Sunday is?!
Not-Pell: Why is she in Luffy-kun's crew!!?
Cobra: Without a doubt, she's a mysterious woman.
Igram: When Vivi-sama hears of this, it will surely make her sad.Page 11
Vivi: Oh, that story
Vivi: I know it but...
Group: What the!!? We thought you would be the most shocked!!
Vivi: .....Fufufu There's no way to know what goes on inside Luffy-san's head.
Vivi(tallpanel): But still
Vivi: He's the man who'll become The Pirate King!
Vivi: Our skills levels are different
Igram: Umaaaaa!! What! What is this!!
Igram: You've beomce an adult Vivi-sma
Vivi: What a minute, what do you mean?Luffy/crew: "Lets celebrate!!
Luffy: Robin and Ussop coming back
Luffy: And our new nakama Franky and the Pirate ship Thousand Sunny!!
Crew: KANPAI!!!!
Crew: Let's go!! Onto Mermen Island!!!!The wind is gaining, Adventure's ahead
They return, and search for "Paradise"Rough trans, but line for line the best I got for now. Went by the page numbers in the RAW. Sorry if it's kinda sloppy formatting. Took about 2 1/2 hours or so.

First:
WTF
Second:
Why do they need blood?
Third:
Smoker is damn badass.
Damn smokers lines rock
Thanks BF for the HQ raw and thanks MAcobo for the trans
Luffy is a riot!!!! His names were the coolest ever! Dumpling Gorrilla Lion!
Karue took steroids! He's ginormous.
Vivi/Tashegi are really hot now, but Tashegi is hotter. Looks like Robin though, maybe thats why Zoro doesn't like talking to Robin…because she looks like his childhood friend as well.
Smoker is badass. He guaranteed he'll be there in the New World. Probably will be there as a welcoming committee for Luffy.
Don't thank me for the trans, I didn't make it. All credit goes to skywalker!
Ah, the translation makes everything clear.
So, Smoker just took down a 50 million beri pirate, and is dissapointed? Cool, but what's better is knowing that he'll follow Luffy into the New World.
And despite everyone's predictions, Vivi isn't surprised that Robin is on Luffy's crew. Huh.
Anyway, unto the next arc. And yes, everyone looks hotter now, but it's been said.
Wait, so is Smoker going to create his own group of strong Marines with Tashigi to directly counteract the SH in the New World? If he does, I can't wait to see it.
Vivi: Our skills levels are different
Igram: Umaaaaa!! What! What is this!!
Igram: You've beomce an adult Vivi-sma
Vivi: What a minute, what do you mean?
!!…wait, what? OH SHI-
This is one awesome chapter. Garp = badass, and it's always cool to see what our old friends are up to.
Also, the scrpt referring to Chaka as "Not-Pell" amuses me to no end. I suppose mostly because one kinda knows who "Not-Pell" is bound to be. It's kind of like saying "Not-Yosaku" or "Not-Coby".
@AD-HD:
Second:
Why do they need blood?
I automatically assumed that he meant it like when someone refers to "Young Blood." This refers to new people, instead of just the same trained military dudes we're used to. I can see where someone inexperienced might have a better chance of being able to tackle the Strawhat crew instead of a trained military personnel, or how Smoker can give them special training or something of the like (a la the inexperienced Coby and Helmeppo had a better chance than ordinary marines due to special attention from Garp.).
I dunno.
Thank you Roz.
Now I understand it way better.
Big deep long dive finished…. and we can now take a long breath! Uff...
I think the one thing that is still pending: Zoro explaining to Chopper and crew the monster form.
New Year. New Stage. New Adventure. New World. And more One Piece.
Thanks to everyone that make possible this reading and watching.
Rugs, Kabrumbs
Nice to see Vivi and friends again, especially Carue….I've missed that duck. I hope we see more from them, even if they just stay back in Alabasta.
FINALLY TASHIGI AND SMOKER ARE BACK!
And from Smoker's words I'm guessing that he plans to make a crew to rival Luffy's in power. It'd be cool if he got a marine who's abilities rival one specific crew member.
Smoker is obviously Luffy's opponent, and Tashigi is determined to fight Zoro. That leaves 6 more people to find. Perhaps a Smoker/Tashigi crew finding subplot is on its way?

Interesting idea, but does Smoker have the resources to do it?
He's accepted the promotions that have come his way after Alabasta. And seeing as how Luffy is the only one that has ever gotten past him at Loguetown and into GL, he has gotta be mighty pissed.
I can't wait to see the group he puts together :D
This will probably be the last battle of the strawhats, where Luffy could lose and be taken in by Smoker.
Thanks for the early chapter and translation from MH.
Nice to see some initial reactions. I hope we get to see some more reactions, and maybe a little bit more of WB & Shanks, as well as Ace & BB.
As for Smoker being the final opponent? With the re-introduction of Coby, and the incredible growth he's made so far, I think Coby will be the last opponent? He's the 1st character to interact with Luffy, and it would be fitting it he was the last :)
Or Luffy will just trash everyone and become the ruthless ruler of the world!! Muhahahaha… oh, wrong story!
Thanks BF! This was an awesome scan. Does anythink they maybe a reason we are seeing ViVi and the whole Movie 8 thing?
Had Smoker the scar on his chest before?
I ask this because I believe that this is important since if I am not wrong only Mihawk and the people on his level can damage Logia people are:
-Mihawk
-Whitebeard
-Shanks
-Blackbeard (if we assume that he has the same power than Mihawk or Shanks according to the last).
Obviously a Shichibukai cannot attack an officer of the Navy, Mihawk is discarded, Shanks and Whitebeard are in the New World.
But Smoker talks with his new scar about a Pirate that is only 50 milions of berries and since we have seen Teach smashing Sarquiss with one blow it could be possible that the 50 milions pirate that Smoker is talking about is Blackbeard.

See, what I'm saying is that Smoker entered the Grandline in defiance of his jurisdiction, and he's talked down to all the marine higher-ups so far. So, I think that the odds of him getting support from the HQ is unlikely. Smoker as a captain doesn't seem any different as Smoker as a Commodore.
For this theory to pan out, Smoker would need to get support from some weird places.
Meanwhile, that scar is a small but curious thing. Logia's shouldn't be capable of being cut by normal people, so who did it? Either Oda made a mistake or Smoker ran into someone odd on the Grandline. Or, Smoker likes to cut himself.
thx BF…...wonderful chapter.....
I'm hoping we see some more reactions to bounties from the Shibukai (spelling) and other OP characters. That would make my day.

What we really need is more Johnny and Yosaku. I really want to see where those two are gaying it up right now.
Okay here is the deal regarding Smoker's line people:
First and most: He did NOT say "Blood"
what he said that they need, was "地位"、prounced "chi i", which means "Power" or "Position"(political or military wise)
It's NOT "血", prounced "chi", which means "Blood".
I know it can be confusing for some translators but since I know Kanji, I can assure you this is the correct version.
Now with that in mind, here is what he said:
"Marines are marines, as long as the Navy is still a ranked organization, there are things I am not allowed to do as 'Captain'."
"What we need now, is 'Power'."
So basically, Smoker decided to pursue higher ranks in the Marine to gain more freedom over his own action. As we can see in this chapter he already started this by achieving the Commodore rank. And his ultimate goal is to "crush the Straw Hat pirates in the New World".
He is, at least in this chapter, not trying to get a crew of his own.
Hope that explains it a bit for everyone.
And regarding what Vivi said, basically Igaram and co. thought she'd be very surprised by the fact that Miss. AllSunday is one of the SHs now. However she took the news calmly and told them that "You can't understand Luffy-san even if you are with him, he and us are in totally different world, after all, he is the man who will become the Pirate King." Surprised by her calm reaction, the others praise her for "having grown up so much" and have tears of joy(in a comical way of course)
one time for sure this chapter is allsome. smoker is badass.
the ending of cp9 saga. no chapter next week hoping for one more before 07

Unless the scar was made BEFORE he ate the moku moku no mi.
@HTC:

no, he didn't have it in Logue Town. it was proven with a picture earlier in the topic.
seing how much this question is asked thince then, I am starting to believe that only a few people read the forum before posting.

Alas, you're probably right. More evidence to support your theory : the number of times someone has said "is it just me, or does Tashigi look like Robin" and the number of times someone has asked if there will be a chapter next week.
I'm not sure how to feel about this chapter. Especially after the intensity of the previous one. It feels somewhat thrown together in comparison. I was hoping for at least a moment or two of awkward reunion, followed by a return to the usual (like "Wind In The Willows", where Mr Toad promises to reform his ways, then does so briefly, but everyone realizes they like him better the old way, so he reverts back, but not completely)– this feels a bit too abrupt.
Oh well, it's better not to dwell on it, let's move on to fishman island!
Beautiful color spread -- lighter than usual. Is it just the scan, or is Oda working in a new medium? No, looks like he's still using markers, just with a gentler touch. I'm curious about the narrative of the color spread. Franky and Zoro are guarding those provisions very seriously (Zoro even has his bandana on!) And why has Chopper taken over for the pack horse? Hmmm.
Good to see Tashigi again (regardless of whom she resembles or how she styles her hair). She seems stronger and more mature, which is important, because she's got a lot of catching up to do if she wants to match (or best) Zoro down the Line.
The scorpion-tail-island that she and Smoker have landed on seems intriging and menacing. What sort of deadly creature do you think they found in there?
-Smoker wanting to get a 'crew/power' to rival Luffy's is interesting.
-Weak resolution to Usopp's entire W7 deal. Background character for this entire chapter and he blended in that easily. Wow…just wow.
-Uh...where are those guys who were saying "just you wait! Usopp's gonna be ship gunner and prolly kick some ass during the get-away!"?
-Franky + Nami smashing Usopp's face during the toast = cute. very cute. way to humiliate a character who was humbled from the last chapter.
so if the ship is cola powered like franky is it gonna react like him to stuff other than cola?
Thanks a bunch for the clarification, archanfel. That makes more sense.
no, he didn't have it in Logue Town. it was proven with a picture earlier in the topic.
seing how much this question is asked thince then, I am starting to believe that only a few people read the forum before posting.
I confess: i didn't read it.
Maybe that was his punishment for telling the WG to eat shit.
Carue what have you been eating?! Vivi and Tashigi have very big boobs like Nami and Robin someone should tell Oda to stop giving Women Very big boobs, It's good to see Vivi and Smoker again and Tashigi, Tashigi is not cute anymore she looks like Robin shes a little cute with the glasses on, i miss the old style
Yeah, my first thought on the new chapter is "when did Tashigi get sexy?" and she does look so much more like Robin now.
I liked old endearing charming Tashigi better.
There's a million reasons for this new style.
Maybe it's because there won't be any more reason for Zoro not to attack Tashigi.
Maybe this is pointing out Robin is related to Tashigi.
Maybe this is supposed to show that Robin also looks like Tashigi and Zoro will realize that. Then they're relationship will change.
Whatever the case, I want old Tashigi back with new Tashigi boobs. =)
Or maybe Oda's art has just changed a tiny bit since we last saw Tashigi and Smoker?Nami now looks different from Nami back in Alabasta, and MUCH different from Nami's first apperance. Robin's hair got longer, and her face has gotten much better looking since her first appearance at Whiskey Peak. No one noticed the somewhat different looking Vivi? Carue's face changed alot from his first appearance to Alabasta, and of course there's Going Merry's head which looked rather different in its early days.It's not uncommon for someone's art to be slightly different after some time. We just haven't noticed it with the Strawhats because we see them every chapter.
Or maybe Oda's art has just changed a tiny bit since we last saw Tashigi and Smoker?
I noticed a very big change in Tashigi's style as well as Smoker's as well. It has been a long time since he drew the two of them.
Robin's hair got longer, and her face has gotten much better looking since her first appearance at Whiskey Peak.
^^^Nah, Robin looked way better before.
Yeah, the style on tashigi has changed alot her jaw looks alot more matured then before so thats why she looks way different.
Kinda looks older then before. 'round 25ish
^^^Nah, Robin looked way better before.
I suppose that's subjective, personally I think she looks better. As if Oda got more comfortable drawing her face over time.
I think the main differences in Tashigi's face are her chin, more seemless, her hair has gotten flatter, and her eyes have gotten smaller. Also more boobage.
Same thing Nami seems to have one through. More mature chin, boobs to spare, smaller less childish eyes, and flatter less rounded hair.
I don't think Tashigi changed all that much. This panel especially:
is typically her. Same oval face, same relatively large forehead, same slightly crooked nose. It's just Oda's style that dramatically improved since the last time we saw her, but she keeps her distinctive traits.
I've noticed that none of the One Piece ladies are getting haircuts.
You know, I have no idea where they are going to go from here now. We assume it's the Furoian triangle, but I personally can't imagine what will happen next. I guess that's the start of a new arc.
And…I was actually disappointed by their escape from Garp. It was too easy, they just jetted outta there. This is the guy who competed with the pirate king after all, and no, I doubt Garp was really holding back. Though he could have been more stealthy...
And @ Fanservice: Calm down, it's not that bad.
And @ Fanservice: Calm down, it's not that bad.
OK. I'd like to see what sort of 'explanation' you can come up with as to why Usopp is suddenly 'good ol' chummies' with Luffy that fast. Now the apology from the previous chapter does not seem so 'full of conviction' at all since Oda did not give it enough time to sink in to the crew and the readers.
"But Fanservice, Usopp can't do that much drama since they're being chased by Garp and the marines, you fail to see that. LOL!"
Exactly. The writing, the placement for Usopp's apology was that bad that the importance of not leaving Usopp behind takes precedence over the weight of his apologies for his previous actions. It's as if the apology was just a small plot device so that he can be reunited with his crewmembers. The apology, IMO, was suppossed to show his maturity as a character and yet, it was made to look like he needed to apologize so that he won't get left behind by the SHs.
Also, from being at least, a bit of a 'central' character in the previous chapter, he's completely background character again in this chapter. What the crap?
Oh yeah, and like I said…where are those guys theorizing about Usopp being instrumental in their escape in order to redeem himself a little bit during the closure of this arc?
Reminds me of one of Aldrich's post regarding Usopp. I fear the day may come where he will be sitting and poking a pile of dung and people will still go "eh? It's not that bad..."
