hmmm…. thanks for translating....
if that's the case, I don't think Brooke is going to be a permanent member.....
4 days still next spoiler....... I can't wait to see what will happen next........
Usopp sure is going to point the cross at Brooke when he gets onboard the 1000 Sunny....
Guess you are right or maybe even a seastone sword or fire sword.
NO
Nevar.
Noity no no nonos.
No.
I just have to say, I love Stephen's translation of Brook - funny stuff.
I disagree. The WG was a major enemy in the Enies Lobby arc, but I think that they are just one of the major enemies that the SHs will face.
The WG just has secrets, and maybe they changed the world in the past. However, they currently tie with some of hte more powerful pirates in the world. The WG isn't bar none the strongest at least–they have serious competition.
We're just thinking that way cause the government tends to be a powerful force in our lives, and thus apply it to OP. However, the world in OP is so big and vast, that unlike earth, man hasn't gained full control of it yet.
And yes, too many people are trusting Brooke. While he has nice quirks, as time goes on things can change. You normally don't trust the undead.
However, I now love the idea of the SHs getting a ghost or something on the crew. Imagine how fights with a skeleton would be like....
No, no, no.
As it says in my sig, Blackbeard is just misguided, so who's going to be the villain if it's not Blackbeard?
Does anyone else think that Blackbeard is OP's equivalent of M. Bison?
"YOU CANNOT CRUSH MY PSYCHO … ERR YAMI YAMI FRUIT POWER!!!"
NO
Nevar.
Noity no no nonos.
No.
You most probably are one of those Zoro freaks who think that using seastone sword will reduce Zoro's dignity even though using Asura or wassthename technique would not.
I'm one of those people. If Zoro went around beating people with seastone swords then it wouldn't be right. It's not his own power.
Think about it, he never would've learned to cut steel if he had a seastone sword, he'd rely on it and never improve. Then he'd be handily defeated by Mihawk and other non-DF users. Plus, a seastone sword is just cheap.
Of course, this is just my opinion.

What the hell means "Binks's booze"!?

It should be Brooke's, I think. I dunno, but he's refering to the sake in the barrel. And if Brooke gives Zoro a ghost sword, I will come to Japan and hug Oda.
I'll be right behind you, whipping his nutsack with a pool noodle.

I agree. Not everyone in the govenrment is corrupt or evil or has it in for the Mugiwara. That's one thing I've always enjoyed about this series : there's a large amount of "grey area" (neither pure evil nor pure good) to explore – and I'm speaking here of character's personalities as well as of locations and plots.
Just like in real life, the mix -- the grey area -- is what keeps things interesting.
And yes, too many people are trusting Brooke. While he has nice quirks, as time goes on things can change. You normally don't trust the undead.
Hahah! Love that last line!
I agree – especially after reading Stephen's translation of the scene. Check out this passage :
Brook: And a very good day to you!!! Yohohoho!!! Pardon me for the rudeness!! I was simply unable to greet you properly when our eyes met!!! Quite a surprise, I must say!! Why, it's been decades! That's how long I haven't met a flesh-and-blood person!! All you find around here is ghost ships!
Sounds as if Brook's actions may not always be of his own will (proof for that interesting marionette theory?). It also sounds as if "Bink's booze" is highly coveted among the undead. Here's a wild theory : maybe the barrel can only be opened by the living, but the contents inside it are vital (literally : "life-giving") to the undead. If that's the case, and especially if that signal flare was visable from beyond Brook's previous location, I expect an entire Armada of undead to swarm us soon …
Cool!!
Brook's ship was probably just the closest when the flare went up.
Anyone else notice that grinning ghost in the lower left hand corner of this panel?
King Calamari – Sweet!! I do believe you've found the Ghost of Pandaman. (It hasn't got Pandaman's ears, but the eyes are similar). Do you suppose Choppy has seen PandaGhost already? Look how tightly Choppy is clinging to Zoro's leg. Choppy's about the right height to see PandaGhost too. Usopp wouldn't be able to see PandaGhost because Zoro's body is in the way. And that's probably a good thing. Poor Usopp! I'd forgotten that he didn't know about the Florian Triangle. Perhaps it's for the best though. Sometimes it's better not to know what's ahead of you. Sanji's "reassurance" speech really cracked me up though.
More than that, Zoro is still with 3 swords?
Raphael, technically, it's 2 1/2 swords now.
Yubashiri's scabbard (I should say "saya" though, since that's the Japanese term for it) was not damaged in the fight – only the blade was damaged -- so Yubashiri looks undamaged when it is sheathed because the blade is hidden. However, as soon as Zoro removes it from the saya, you'll see that only the hilt and about 1/3 of Yubashiri's blade remain. This makes Yubashiri more like a dagger than like a katana. But it may yet prove useful. I'm hoping ... (yes, I'm one of those "freaks", Arnab3k).
Damian is right though -- Zoro's swords do look odd in that picture : as if PandaGhost has devoured all three of Zoro's scabbords and blades, and left only the hilts! (eeep!). We see the scabbards again in a later picture though, so it was only an illusion. Sneaky Pandaghost!
Two more quick things I wanted to add :
(1) big THANKS to everyone who brought us this chapter this week
and
(2) big thanks to Oda for giving us a very "piratey" palate-cleanser between the Water7 arc and the next one. Also, the art in this chapter was excellent -- all those atmospheric details on Brook's ship. Looking forward to seeing them clearer in a tanko or SJ issue. Who knows what else we'll find in them!
He has two swords and one hilt. Get over it, Zoro-fans!
According to stephen's trans Brooke has a nice speech pattern:
Might have a gander at your pantaloons, my dear?, indeed.
Haha, Brookes is the ghost of Slash.
Is it just me or is Usopp drawn differently?
I didn't notice. Seems the same. Nami's new design is kinda odd, I think. And now that everyone has their own room, no more out of context bed scenes.
@Impel:

Yea that sux, but there's a bath now, so more fanservice of Nami and Robin cleaning themselves up. Yea!
Ugh!! I can't WAIT until the translated version comes out! I'm dying here! X_x
Thank you very much for the RAW, though. ^^
@Kaizoku_Smokey:

There are scanlations in the scanlation/translation forum
I like Nami's new halter top outfit.
And the Soldier Dock system… wow... Thunderbirds are go!
This chapter confirms it, Thousand Sunny is a floating amusement park.
Before I read the chapter, I thought it would've been interesting if Brook was an undead version of one of Roger's old crewmembers. I don't think it's very likely now though.
And if Brook joins the crew (maybe as their musician), he'll finally break the 2 syllable name motif the Straw Hats had going there.
Technically speaking, aren't the only crew members with truly two syllable names (in Japanese) Zoro, Nami, and possibly Luffy.
Waldorf: You know Statler, after watching the last one thousand episodes of One Piece, I think I've come to a conclusion.
Statler: No you haven't.
Both: DOHOHOHOHOHO!
You know, with so much talkback on Brooke and stuff, I see little speculation on what's up next.
Will they be trapped in the Florian Triangle, struggling to get out? Or will they fight various undead?
^
I don't know. Brooke of course should know just why ships are dissappearing in the triangle as well as knowing his way around so he could end up being their guide.
I agree with what Pass the Rootbeer said also. When I was reading the chapter I felt that the style changed somewhat again.
Technically speaking, aren't the only crew members with truly two syllable names (in Japanese) Zoro, Nami, and possibly Luffy.
They're written in Hiragana, which makes them two syllables, not kanji, though. And on the wanted posters, they're in English. If Nami's name was written in Kanji, it would read "Wave".
I called it wrong, so long ago. I guess this needs to be changed.
@Fire Fist:
They're written in Hiragana, which makes them two syllables, not kanji, though. And on the wanted posters, they're in English. If Nami's name was written in Kanji, it would read "Wave".
I never mentioned kanji, and aren't their names all written in _kata_kana? the point of the 'two-syllable' post was to point out in Japanese their names are longer or shorter than when they're written in English. Zo-ro, Na-mi (the two-syllables), Ro-bi-n, Fu-ra-n-ki-i, and so on (the reason Luffy was only listed as "possibly two-syllable" is because I don't knwo if the "fi" in Rufi counts as one or two [written with two marks, but makes one sound]).
QUESTION: DO YOU PEOPLE POOP?
Luffy
'Course I do. I eat 2,5 tons of food every day, how am i supposed to deal with it without pooping? And when that moment comes, I always bless god for my 5-metres-wide-stretchable anus…
Zoro
I often get lost on my way to the bathroom: in those cases, I hafta do it in the corridor or in some random room.
…What are you looking at?! What am I supposed to do, keep it forever?
Nami
How… How DARE you ask me that?! I'm too beautiful to poop!
Usopp
No, I don't poop. I never did it in my whole life. Ask my 80.000 henchmen if you don't believe me.
- It's a lie.
Ah! How did you know?!
Sanji
Sure I do. Y'now, once I had Marimo eat my crap thinking it was fudge! Hahhahhahhaha!
Chopper
My poo is pink and it smells like cherry.
- Why, that's adorable!
No, I'm afraid that's cancer…
Robin
Actually, you see, the hands I create are made with the food in my guts, so basically… those are my poop.
Franky
I could survive without eating, but it'd suck; so I eat normally and therefore I take dumps normally. But my abdomen is made of steel, so it can't contract to squeeze the crap out; then, sometimes I gotta use "Coup de boo" to throw it out, but I often end up making a really bad mess… Oh well...
Blackbeard
Once I and the guys pooped in a black hole for a week, then eventually I used "Liberation" to release all the crap on Whitebeard crew's heads! Man, that was AWESOME! Especially with Doc Q's poo: it was all melted and bloody, it rained on them like a shower. I RULE!
Whitebeard
TEACH MUST DIE!!! Of course I poop: then the nurses arrive, wipe it out and change the diaper.
Ace
I poop and, above all, I fart… And you DON'T want to see me fart...
Shanks
My poo makes people faint. I hope it's just the "ambition" thing…
Mihawk
No, I'm WAY too cool to take dumps.
Dragon
When I gotta make a serious effort to push it out, storms and squalls are unleashed… Who knows if the two things are related...
Bagy
When I gotta poop, I split my ass off and dispatch it alone while I keep doin' my businness. The problem is I don't have eyes on it, so I end up crapping in the most random places… Alvida's always gettin' mad for that...
Kuro
I've got poo pictures on my jacket, and you're even asking? However, I do it all in 12 seconds, if you really wanna know…
Krieg
The armor doesn't have a hole for that; I have to wear it off, and sometimes I don't make it in time and… well, you can imagine the consequences.
Arlong
Yes, I do. I make so much of it that Nami used to use it to fertilize the tangerine trees.
Mr. 5
My poo is explosive, so I often toss it as a bomb.
- Man, that's so gross!
Yeah, but it makes one hell of a blow…
Mr. 2
How… How DARE you ask me that?! I'm too beautiful to poop!
Vivi
Thanks for asking. I'm so glad someone remembers me after so long and… wait, don't go, please!!!
Crocodile
Boy, sometimes my ass gets so dry, it gets so damn hard to push it out…
Ener
In the old days, I used to make Gedatsu worship my poo. I even had him KISS it once… Too bad I didn't have a camera!
Lucci
The problem is, I've trained ALL my muscles to superhuman level… All, including the rectum. Therefore, when I defecate, the excrement shoots out at 50 mph and, being as hard as steel, it shatters the toilet. Almost every time. That can be annoying.
Kumadori
Thanks to "Life Return" I can keep it for days, even weeks. And I do.
- That's why you're always yelling and you have one eye closed, isn't it?
Yes.
Kaku
My poo comes out square…
Don't you DARE laugh!!
what do you think blackbeards flag means? most of the pirate flag's in the one piece world usually resemble the captains or what they like. zeff's flag had a chef's hat and luffy's flag has a strawhat. blackbeards sail has three pirate skulls and from what i can see it doesn't resemble him or his crew so does it have a deeper meaning? i think it does and maybe we will get to know as the story goes on.

Congratulations, Sanjilops. That answer wins!
What scares me is the possible amount of hours thinking about excriment it probably took sanjilops to come up with those answers.
@aSanjilops
Heh, funneh. Ecspecailly Lucci. Gah.
I agree with what Pass the Rootbeer said also. When I was reading the chapter I felt that the style changed somewhat again.
Well, Oda's style seems to always change for every major arc. Look at the difference between East Blue and Alabasta or Skypiea and CP9. The Florian Triangle/Fishman Island arcs most likely will change Oda's style in some way or other.
Perhaps, the skeleton might become Luffy's new member as a Musician.
The skeleton's dress looks like a conductor or somrthing like that. Plus, the everyone on the ship hear the skeleton singing. :blink:
Has anyone noticed Brook's cane?
I feel something cool will happen. Not a cane sword, that would be cliche. There's too much swords amongst the higher-up characters.
@Pass:
What scares me is the possible amount of hours thinking about excriment it probably took sanjilops to come up with those answers.
The time spent to think about poop is never too much 
I bet you'd die happy if the next crewmember was a living pile of cow manure.
I never noticed a change in Oda's style until the new renderings of Tashigi and Kaya.
@Pass:
I bet you'd die happy if the next crewmember was a living pile of cow manure.
That's for sure! But a pooping skeleton is good enough, too.
hello, this is the shitty restaurant..

ROFL!! XD
this remind me of this image XDDD

Zoro's hot even when he poo LOL !<3

WTF!?!??!?!?! funny pic there zede LMAO!!!! nicely drawn too lol
another reason why Wednesday needs to come early….
if not, people are going to melt their own brains thinking about Brooke and the mugiwaras....
i haved fryed my brain with video games to pass the time
After reading the new chapter, I decided what my Halloween costume will be this year.
Has there ever been this much discussion on a character we've seen all of half-a-chapter of? I know he's a skeleton and all, and that's cool. But still, was there this much discussion surrounding Franky whenever he was first introduced or Chopper even?
Originally I inted to put him in my italian 443, but I can't wait!
This is my cover for the new Mugiwara adventure! I hope it will make you smile XD

THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Precisely what I was hoping for last week ^O^
Oh man, freakin' Luffy. I almost bust a gut with my boss sitting right next to me.
Not to mention Brook(e)'s gags. What a funny thing!
And that ship is the shit. I mean the aquarium is one thing, but a full Japanese bath???????
"That'd be like a dream come true!"
Thought Greg to himself when it hit him…
"Guess that's why it's a ship of dreams!"
AND I LOVE WHAT HE DID WITH NAMI'S HAIR!!!!!
About time he gave her a new look during the story. When was the last time he played with her hair in that kind of way, Skypiea?
Man, every page was golden and they just kept coming. Each time I flipped I was afraid it would be over but it just kept going!
THIS is One Piece for me.
edit:
Oh, and the Skypiea references make the rabid slavering fanboy inside me rage uncontrollably.
Greg hath spoken.
