isnt p and b pretty much the same in japanese?
パ pa
バ ba
One has a bubble, and one has two dots.
ah that explained much to me
almost the same
Umm, I think it's actually supposed to be called "Thrillerburg", it'd have the same katakana. And there was already an "Arlong Park".
But the good translators translated it as "Park" did they not?
it seems that BF need to rename the thread…
Hang on now, we need to confirm if the translators translated it wrong or not.
I admit, there is a high chance they did, simply cause Oda doesn't tend to reuse names, and we already had "Arlong Park" but I think we should get some 80% confirmation first.
Thanks BF for providing a great chapter!
(first notes of Michael Jackson plays) I knew there isn't something right about this Brook guy. Maybe he's still a decent person/skeleton, but to have all this weirdness, a bizarre Devil Fruit and even be a musician…then jump out in the front of the ship just as the SH arrive at a ghost island...something is obviously up. Maybe Brook is a better person/skeleton than my initial thoughts, but I definately can't wait for next week to see what exactly happens at "Thriller Bark". (edit: changed the island name in my post)
Thanks for the chapter, BF. Brooke is flat out hilarious so far and I like Usopp's new ghost hunter outfit for the arc.

You know, going along with that, Thriller Park, or Bark, or Baak or whatever the hell this chapter is called, reminded me of Michael Jackson's Thriller, and Brook seems to be highly influenced by Michael, even more so than Jango.
Awesome chapter :D
http://manga.ignition-one.com/love/op443hq.zip <- Mirror, too
^ How the hell is Brooke more influenced by Micheal Jackson than Jango?! Jango is a flippin copy of Micheal Jackson in the One Pieceverse. XD
tyvm BF nice chapter
I keep hearing from people they think Brooke's face is emotionless….strange thing is...I can see emotion...maybe I feel it...or maybe it is....his mouth?
Closed he is mello, wide opened he is goofy, slightly opened he's touched, half opened he is normal.
This is such an awesome chapter. The panel where Luffy is the only one to laugh at Brook's jokes is hilarious.
Could someone tell us what he's saying to Robin the second time he adresses her provoking Sanji's anger? It's apparently missing in the script.
Brooke goes off to confront the man who stole his shadow and the new arc begins.
I'm betting it's going to be HUGE. Not so much in duration as in complexity.
Yeah, I noticed.
I actually doubt the shadow stealer would be on the island right in front of them. But if he is, Korobokkuru is definitely joining.
I now, more than ever, want Brook to join the crew. Especially since we now have an idea of how he would fight: using his impossiblibly light body.
i dont think this arc will be long, i hope it will be more like "luffy-pwning time", like drum island
i hope only robin, franky and ussop will go with ruffy
we havent seen them fight that much
franky: just joined. i want to see more of what he has got
robin: didnt battle anyone last arc. last major fight was against that fat dude in skypiea, even that fight was quite minor
usopp: he must show his great skills soon! hes pretty badass without knowing it. and if i see more of sogeking ill be crazy
Better late than never (in reference to my post finally being posted as it took me forever and a day to dedicate time to this, this week). Thanks Battle Franky :o)
I think it will be 10-15 chapters arc. I hope Zoro will find new sword in this arc.
Yeah, this seems more like a "Davy Backfight" or Jaya type arc building up to the big event. They still need to get to Fishman Island, but because Luffy wants to follow Brook onto Thrillerbark, the SH have no choice but to follow. Then again, I think a lot of us saw this coming when they mentioned the triangle is prior to the fishmen.
The use of evil-repelling artifacts was a definite highlight of this chapter :)
Adn so it looks like we have another "help the potential crewmember" arc. I hoped that Brooke would join just by saying 'yes'.
ps.
Thriller Park - what a name!
Hey guys
What was that thing I said about spoiler summaries being misleading..?
Anyway, a really fun chapter. I think this arc's going to be pretty enjoyable; I can't wait.
First thought about the chap name: Michael Jackson.
Sweet <3 I loved this chap, cool.
seems like brook is a great guy (or well at least was…if you think about it) thanks BF!
Still downloading, but God, this sounds like an incredible chapter.
Buuhan1, where does your avatar come from? gasp Is there a color spread in this week's chapter?
Thanx a Bunch BF =D
Brooke is going to become nakama. so obvious.
well, didnt liked him at first, starting to like him now bit by bit.
Absolutely awsome chapter, loved the scene where Brooke's yelling for food (w/ Luffy, predictably, following suit) lol
Robin seems to know something about the Shadow Stealer, we'll have to wait and see.
Thriller Park/Barque looks awsome, don't know where that mounth gate came/gone though.
sigh.. i think we have got a new member to non-serious part of the strawhats
I'm still willing to bet that the shadow stealer is a ghost or monster of sorts.
wow… thanks BF
what a chapter...
I have feeling we'll have something really interesting in the 'floating island', and I think Robin and Zoro knew something, and to said that this island came from west blue..... I think Robin should know something
well... I hope this arc didn't turned out to be something like horror movies.... >< I hate horror movies.... but then again, this is One Piece we're reading so that's highly imposible ^^
wanting to read next chappie sooo badly ^_^
Usopp's new attire is so strange. He looks like a musketeer.
Chopper holding the cross was hillarious.
No colorspread. :(
Well Since the title of the chapter is thriller park, methink that Oda based brook to the jacskon 5 them song. Especially that thriller song… anyway seems that This chapter is very good to read, a little break before the storm. (Or major arc).
Hmm i might be going a bit too far with this Theory, but here goes…doesn't Blackbeard have a power that has to deal with darkness? Could he steal a shadow if he wanted to? Thats what i was thinking when Brooke mentioned that....plus it doesn't say when his shadow was stolen so....yeah. All in all though a good chapter. My favorite part had to be when Brooke pulled out his guitar or whatever and Luffy is like "WHAT?! you have to join my crew you dumbass!" That was awesome, and i think its not the only time Luffy has addressed a future crewmate like that (Chopper anyone?)
oh and GODA 8000 great avatar. Gintama is probably the only other manga in my eyes that can match One piece in everything. And the fact you combinied both makes it even more awesome
I think it will be 10-15 chapters arc. I hope Zoro will find new sword in this arc.
There's an idea, a haunted place is sure to have a cursed sword.
@Pass:
Buuhan1, where does your avatar come from? gasp Is there a color spread in this week's chapter?
Wow…I don't mean to be insultive at all but did you truly think that was from a color spread?
1. Oda never puts someone in a color spread unless they have officially joined. Brooke hasn't.
2. It isn't Oda's coloring style.
But I guess I can't blame ya. It is fanart from a hentai artist.

BB doesn't have literally a darkness power, it more like a gravity or black hole power. Ever read Konjiki no Gash? Well, the demon named Brago has a similiar power, its just gravity and gravity can't suck up shadows.

Oh yeah i read Gash so i know about that. Hmm i didn't know it was more gravity based than darkness based…..guess i need to read between the lines :-P but i'm still sticking with my theory until disproved by factual events in the manga. Either way i'm looking forward to Thriller park or Burg...or Bark..
Holy shit, someone destroyed Eneru's Maxim. Now he is stuck in the moon.
Oh yeah, Thriller Park is awesome. And Brook is so gonna be one of the strawhats.
So Brooke's disappering in sunlight isn't because he's undead, but because someone stole his shadow, and he can leave if the Strawhats get his shadow back. In my mind the chances of him just tripled. It'd be funny if Batholomew Bear was behind it, punishing sinners for opening the barrel of offerings. We'd all expect the next Shuchenbunchi to be Jinbei, and then it's not.
All those crosses… It's like Oda is trying to give coniption fits to 4kids. Go for it ODA!
@Pass:
Usopp's new attire is so strange. He looks like a musketeer.
Looks to me like he was going for an "exorcist"-type look. Y'know, "the power of Christ compels you" and all that.
Wow, it's so nice to see a funny chapter like this again…
Brooke really stood out in this chapter. I'd love to see how this Thiller Park/Bark/ Big mouth thing turns out.
Brooke said his shadow was stolen a few years ago, so BB couldn't have done it. And I don't Eneru's Maxim is destroyed. It was just some explosion from the Space Pirates or Moon People.
Major ass thanks for this chapter Franky it was fucking awesome!
BTW can I use one of the links for the HQs to make a scanlatioan of my own?
I'm a bit curious about the names "Brook" / "Brooke" and finally "Thriller Park" …
Is the correct romanization for "Burokku" not "Brock" ?? Then I'd understand Thriller Park if the Japanese read "suriraa paaku" but it in fact reads "suriraa baaku" - which should be "Thriller Bark" ?? Something like "Thrillerburg" but twisted into a nonsense name?? Both of these naming details kind of weird me out in this English discussion.
About the difference between BB's and the skeleton's DF power, BB has apparently Yami Yami fruit while the new crew member has either Yomi Yomi or something along that road. Oda avoided giving a kanji for Yomi in a couple places so it's deliberately confusing. 甦 reads "yomigae" anyways. Yomi could in theory mean "returning" given the context, but I'm not quite going to accept that translation at face value...
Brooke's name in JPN is pronounced Burukku. Notice that the 4 letter is 'u', not 'o', so it's pronounced Brooke.
Don`t know, but Thirller park reminds me of the big whoop park, in monkey Island 3. A theme park of the undeads.
well thriller park island or whatever it's called travels from east blue,that backs my theory on raftel for some reason being impossible to reach unless you can read the poneglyphs for some reason
EDIT: brook also destroyed my last hopes for rockstar joining as a musician

WEST Blue. It's probably an Island Whale like Laboon with an island on its back. I put a theory up about that.
