Chapter 490 "Getting There Again" Discussion

Thank you Battle Franky!
They're already at the Red Line. I never would of pictured it being like a wall of rock. It makes sense then that the Straw Hats have to go underwater in order to get around it.
It's good to see Keimei formally introduced. Hopefully she won't be another Conis.
-
@Kidany:
It's been hinted that Fishman island would be underwater ever since the Log Pose was pointing downward. Makes sense it'd be under the Red line since what we saw from Reverse Mountain we know how big the landmass is. What other way could pirates get through the Red Line if Fishman Island wasn't the connecting point between the two halves of the Grand Line.
Well, I was always under the impression that Marijoi (not Marine HQ, as the places are different) was the central hub at the Red Line. Remember Norland? He sailed into the Red Line (2nd Half) and went backwards through the Red Line with the King to Jaya. It took a long time to get permission, as well.
My idea for it was a series of canals with locks that have security checks, etc…
I suppose, however, that could just be ONE of the paths on the Red Line, but the map shows 6 canals converging on the 2nd part of the Red Line (As opposed to 4 entering and one exiting at Reverse Mountain), so...
-
Well I was speaking specifically in regards to pirates. For crews Fishman island is probably the only way to get through to the New World. I agree with you that Fishman island isn't the only option for everyone else.
I'm sure that for regular citizens, bounty hunters, etc. that there's different ways to get through. Like how the Marines use seastone at the bottom of their ships to cross Calm Belts.
-
Who was the "beauty"/"pet owner"/"conis" of Thriller Bark?
The only one I can think of is Perona owning bearsy as a pet… but she was a villain as well.
-
Reading over the translation, many things seemed to be cleared up now: when Franky and Robin entered the Grand Line, Sengoku's dissapointment regarding Kuma's action towards Luffy, the Shark Submerge's depth problems, the fact that they may get to Raftel and be nowhere near Reverse Mountain…and the fact that Caimie is just a ditzy Sea-King meal waiting to happen.
-
-
Keimee's expression in the chapter, and especially Choppers in the final panel, remind of the Rat Fink Cartoons, although I can't find the one I mean exactly.
Here's a sample:
-
read the translated chapter, great, shark submarine can be only 5 meters in water? That sucks xD I really can't wait to see what will happen next!
-
Oops, posted this in the wrong topic:
Wow, that thing behind Lola's pirate crew looked ominous. It would be pretty funny if they ended up stuck in another horrible situation right after escaping from one.
Also, all this talk about the Straw Hats inching closer to Mariejoa is making me excited for that arc. I wonder if this was partly what Oda was referring to when he said he has big things in store for the future?
And lastly, "______________ [name of any random minor character] will join!!" must be the CURSE OF ONE PIECE. Camie's totally gonna join guys, she'll fill the crucial role of designing Nami's clothes!!! /joke
-
@The:
Lola.
16 marriage proposals
shrugs
You are going to give me nightmares calling that "beauty" dude…
-
lol this chapter made me laugh
I get eaten really easily this is my 20th time lol
I don't see any chance of her joining so can we end that talk now. The starfish would be a cool character though
-
Damn, poor Rollers, just when I tought they were going to be alright.
I didn't expect that the stuff of the Ships dissapearing wasn't actually the scheme of Moria.
-
haha, the rolling pirates get killed by some monster. thats what they get. bunch of losers
-
@lil:
haha, the rolling pirates get killed by some monster. thats what they get. bunch of losers
You, sir, have potential to become my best friend ever.
-
@lil:
haha, the rolling pirates get killed by some monster. thats what they get. bunch of losers
Except for the fact that they're not sailing through the Florian Triangle.
-
So Sea Kings have taken to stalking people now eh? Creepy.
Well, a so so chapter. Not expecting anything mindblowing for a bit, especially considering how things are shaping up to be an early Skypiea clone. But if we see Hatchan again, which is highly likely, that would be awesome.
And a submarine that can't dive under twenty feet is a pretty crappy one, I must say.
-
A scan version is out by Binktopia, chek it out here: http://www.mangashare.com/dl/One_Piece_490/394/
-
read the translated chapter, great, shark submarine can be only 5 meters in water? That sucks xD I really can't wait to see what will happen next!
Then it's no wonder Luffy didn't see the ocean floor~
And I wanna see Hachi. He has to be somewhere… It would be nice to see him again...
-
So Caimei's extremely TASTY?…...................
I wonder how Japanese Vorephiles (or whatever they are called) will react to this.
-
Actually, the sub can dive 5000 meters.
Very exciting chapter. I loved the section where they see the wonders of the grand line before reaching the red line. Halfway huh? I'm filled with a sense of pride for the Strawhats and all their adventures.
-
I think the part with the 5 meters was just a misstranslation. But this chapter was very scary:
- The Eyes in the mist
- The unknown fate of the Rollers
- The whole thing about the SH are near Marie Joa and the Marine HQ
I really can't wait for the next chapter.
-
The last panel on the last page still doesn't make sense after translation…
-
It's too early for the Red Line!
…I'm getting anxious and paranoid about what may come...
-
5000 meters sound more promising.
It's exciting that a whole new arc is beginning! Finally some meeeeeeeermaaaaiiddsss~ And I hope we'll see more old characters.The last panel on the last page still doesn't make sense after translation…
A starfish just spoke
-
Is this the first time Frankie's mentioned being from South Blue? Or was there another time? If So, we have a Strawhat from Every Blue and one from the Grand Line.
-
I have to say, this wasn't really that enjoyable to me this week. I really liked the needless things like "raining candy," the "Ocean Tanuki," and the "Circular Rainbow" though, since they were just a few more things we haven't seen on the Grand Line. Definitely looking forward to next chapter for some reason though. I mean, I'm glad that the gleaming eyes was just a Sea King to be honest, since it could have just been some other villain we won't see again for another 200 chapters. It was pretty enjoyable to see how after all this time, the Strawhats are finally trying to find Merman Island, after the super long wait for it. I'm really anticipating it, and next chapter should either bring more info on Camie (which to be honest, I dont really want,) Hatchi's return somehow (I would love that, but I prefer the final option,) or the Strawhats finally arriving at Merman Island at the end, with Camie's help.
Thanks BF though.
Next chapter could definitely bring a lot of outcomes. I'm really glad that Merman Island is finally here. -
Garp is so fucking awesome.
Am I the only one who likes that funky Jamaican starfish more than whatsherface?
-
Papaggu for new crewmember.
And I'm not sure what was the point of the giant monster in the mist.
-
So Sea Kings have taken to stalking people now eh? Creepy.
Sea King Zoan
You heard it first.. -
Papaggu for new crewmember.
And I'm not sure what was the point of the giant monster in the mist.
To show that it wasn't Moria and his crew that started the Florian Triangle's rep of disappearing ships.
-
And I'm not sure what was the point of the giant monster in the mist.
I doubt it's anything relevant to the story.
Think of it as Oda's way of telling us about how many "unknown" things are still awaiting for us at the bottom of the sea.
-
she the one from the side story right.
-
@FFA
Naah, neither's going to join for any long term period.Camie's this arc's chimney/tonjit/conis/etc character. She even has a small expressive sidekick just like chimney's gonbe, tonjit's shelly, or conis' suu. It's her job to be the Strawhat's guide to the new region, get them involved in her conflict with the arc's villain, and ultimately be saved/protected by them for the course of the arc.
If she were a serious crewmember candidate, she wouldn't have the starfish.
Hacchi is more like this arc's Lola/Paulie/Wiper/Patty. A reasonably strong character that gets beaten up by the henchmen of the arc's villain to prove just how strong they are. He lacks the skill to fight seriously alongside the crew and his dream to run the takoyaki ship doesn't gel with the strawhat's New World priorities.
So while we might pick up a crewmember in FI at somepoint, Hacchi and Camie make for unlikely candidates.
Edit: Dang… got beat to the punch.
I dont think its safe to assume each arc follows the structure, Oda might throw something new into the formula(though I have seen the trend) but it doesn't mean that I think she'll join-just thought id give my opinion
Anyway, great chapter, though it could do with a bit 'more'
-
It's probably MOHMOO
-
So Moria lived?
Thank god for Luffy's "Ace can handle his own problems" attitude! I did not want another friggin rescue arc!
The new mermaid chick looks cute and I enjoyed a girl finally getting some of OP's trademark character quirks.
I'm thinkig she keeps pet squids and calls them takoyaki instead of cooks them or something. The whole moment was just funny and odd @ the end. I defintely hope they do pick up this girl or some other mermaid chick even tho I dread Sanji freaking out this entire arc over pretty girls with fins. -
The build up to this arc is similar to Jaya and Skypiea. They're my favorite two. So it looks promising.
So as soon as the Straw Hats finish their adventures in Merman Island, I'm pretty sure they'll bump into another admiral. Akainu maybe? Or another Shichibukai. Kuma again? Something big will happen to start off their New World adventure.
I have a feeling this arc will be as epic as Jaya.
-
Did the cover story skip shot 7 or did I miss it?
-
my guessing that the marines are the ones in the mist probley leaveing due to getting shadows back.epic chapter oda's on a roll.
-
Aokiji: you know hachhans coverstory? she cooks them.
khamolen: "skip shot 7"? what is "shot 7"?
-
yea, seems like we could be meeting ol' Hatchi sometime soooooon

Lola: ...Ah, well. Let's not go sailing through there again!!
Pirates: Ah!! Of course!!
[Box: …when the great pirate ship Thriller Bark first cast its shadow across these waters.]4
[Box: It is lucky that the mist is as thick as ever this day…]
Pirates: Oi, oi!! Everyone gather round!! / We've got an amazing story to tell!! // What's this all about then?
[Box: For that strange face in the sea… is concealed by its thick white veil...]
Pirates: It is entitled… / "The Straw Hats: A Lone Man's Pride"!! / Listen up properly, you guys! // It all happened when we were all knocked out by that Shichibukai...

Brooke: Luffy-san, I would have no objections if you wished to take a detour!! / Time is of no great importance to Laboon and myself! / To "live" and "meet once more" - that is all that matters!!
Franky: Yeaaaaaahhh!!! Let's go see the old brother Whale!!

Garp: Fuwahahahahah!! That's my grandson for ya!!
Sengoku: Oh, be quiet, Garp!!! // You received an an express Government order to eliminate the entire crew… / ...and yet you failed to obtain even the single head of "Strawhat Luffy"... this is a disgrace!
Kuma: That is pertinent...
Sengoku: To what?!
Garp: Ah, don't worry yourself, Sengoku~! Luffy isn't the sort of guy who'd go around boasting about taking out Moria anyway!!
Sengoku: Hm......!! Kuma... I certainly hope you did not take pity on those pirates, wounded as they were. // With you failing to take this seriously, this game of cat-and-mouse will have no end. // ...Right now, they are blindly following their Log; they draw nearer to the Marine Headquarters every second.
Kuma: .........Indeed they are......
Garp: Oh, yeah, by the way... I brought the new tea!! Get out the crackers!
Sengoku: Garp, will you BE QUIET?!!!8
[Box: The Grand Line…]
[BubbleSFX: the sound of candy falling from the sky ~~]
Strawhats: Something's falling from the sky!! // Rain?!! / This isn't rain!! It's candy!!
[TN: It's a pun - "ame" means both "rain" and "candy".]
[Box: The Thousand Sunny.]
Strawhats: Oww!! Whoa! It's sweet… this is great!! // It hurts!! Why is candy raining down?! // A SEA TANUKI!! Watch out!! Run for it!!!
[TN: Is this supposed to be a pun as well? "Umidanuki" (literally, "sea tanuki") means "beaver", but this one seems to be more… literal.]
Luffy: A circle-rainbow!!
Strawhats: Whooooa!!!
Nami: So pretty~!!
Strawhats: Gaahhh! What now?!! // They're serpent-currents!! // The hell?!! Let's sail straight over them~~~~~!!!
Brooke: Allow me to sing a song!!
Luffy: All right, let's sing~~~!!
[TN: Are the rainbow and the currents meant to be puns too? They seem rather random ><]9
[Box: A few days later…]
Strawhats: …............... // We're here......
Luffy: We finally made it!! // All this way!!!
Nami: It feels kind of "nostalgic"...... // A deep and powerful feeling......
Sanji: Back on that day... we were in the middle of a terrible storm...
Zoro: I wonder... have we matured since then, as a crew...?
Brooke: ............I...!! // I have not seen such a sight for fifty years...! Yohohoho!
Luffy: Shishishishi!! I guess this means we're "halfway there", huh?!! / On the other side of the world... Twin Capes, where we met Laboon, is connected all the way to this spot!!
[Label: Current location]
Luffy: …It's great that we made it all the way here together!!
Chopper: I can't even see the top.........!! // It's so huuuuuuuuuuuuge!!!10-11
Strawhats: THE RED LINE!!!!
Usopp: ...Dammit, I'm gonna start crying...! // We've been through so much............!!
Franky: Apparently, I came over Reverse Mountain when I was just a kid, but I can't even remember that far back... // Must've been more than 30 years ago, huh...
Robin: It was five years ago that I left West Blue… // ...and entered this ocean...
Luffy: Just one more time, halfway around the world, and we'll be seeing this wall again. // ............And that's when... // I'll be... / ...the Pirate King!!!12
Luffy: Shishishishi!!
Strawhats: But we've got to be careful now. // Down you go!! // Aahhh! // This place is right near the "holy ground" of the Marine HQ and the World Government... // ..."Mariejoa".........!!
Usopp: Wahahahahahah!!
Chopper: This "surprise pool" is the best~!!
Zoro: I still......... have a long way to go............!! // Haahh...!! / I've gotta get stronger!! // Ahhh.........!! I'm still far too weak...!! // I've gotta get stronger......!!!13
Nami: How is it? Robin, Brooke, Luffy!!
Robin: This is no good... it's pitch black.
Luffy: It's pitch black down here!! Whoooaa!! / Hey, hey, I just saw something shiny!!
Brooke: Ahhh... could it possibly be the eye of some great beast?!! / We're all going to die~~!! Although I've already died!! Yohohohoho!! / Ah! Of course... Nami-san. // What kind of panties are you wearing today?
Nami: SHADDUP!! TAKE THIS MORE SERIOUSLY!!!
Franky: Oi, you guys! The Shark Submerge III can only go down to depths of 5000 metres!! Watch out, okay?!
Usopp: Man... Brooke's a plucky guy...!!
Brooke: Hmm? The hull seems to be creaking.
Robin: Well, we are over 5000 metres down...
Luffy: Maaan, that's a long way! Hahahahah!
Brooke: Ah, but this is terrible!! We shall all be crushed by the pressure!!!
Luffy: Ahh!! It's that monster again!! It's still here!
Robin: Ahaha... My, that is a large mouth.14
Strawhats: This is bad!!! // Aaghh!! // We're gonna get eaten~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!!
Chopper: You know, I don't think I want to go in... / ...that Shark Submerge.
Usopp: Yeah, me too.
Franky: Man, sounds pretty bad down there.
Sanji: Nami-sa~~~~~n!♡ Here's some dessert~! / It's a "Horror-Nashi Tarte" from Thriller Bark~!♡
Nami: Ahh, that looks lovely!!
Nami: But this isn't good......... / Mmm, tasty!♡
Sanji: It's like the problem we had with Sky Island all over again...
Nami: That's right... We know the direction we're meant to head... // But we don't know how we're meant to get there. // How are we supposed to get to Fishman Island?15
Strawhats: Ahhhhh!! // We're up~~~~!! // Ahhh, that was fun~~~!!
Nami: Welcome back, guys!
Luffy: It's useless! We can't see a thing down there! / Is it really down there...? "Fishman Island"...!!
Brooke: Yohoho... I've never been in a submarine before!
Robin: If it's any further down than that, we'd die before we reached it.
Nami: The Log Pose is certainly pointing straight down... // This isn't good... We should have asked Lola and the others for more information...
Luffy: Hm? // !! / Waaaagh!!! // It's him again!!! // He followed us here!!!16
Strawhats: It's a "Sea Rabbit"!!!
Luffy: Don't try thinking you can beat me up here, though! // Gomu Gomu no... // RIFLE!!!!17
Usopp: Somehow he didn't even seem that big...
Chopper: It's because we've been hanging around that Oz!! / Looks like we're all right for the moment, hahahah!
Sanji: ...He spat something out.
Strawhats: ?!
Luffy: Hm? // Is that a fish?
Nami: Is it a person? No...!!
Franky: Could it be...?!
Sanji: Could - !! // Could it be...?!!18
Caimie: Aaaaahhhh!!
Sanji: Buwaaahhhhh!♡
Thing: Hah!!
Luffy: ?! // There's a weird thing down there too!!
Caimie: pant // pant // Ahhhh!! I beat up a human person!! // I'm so sorry!! Are you okay?!
Sanji: No, no, that's perfectly fine!♡ How about you?
Nami: Could it really be…...?!
Strawhats: A MERMAID?!!
Caimie: Aaaaaahhhh!!! So many human people everywhere!!!
Strawhats: Whoooa!!!
Caimie: Well, thank you so much for saving me! I thought I was about to be digested!! // I'm always getting myself swallowed by sea-monsters!! This must be about the 20th time!19
Caimie: But I simply must do something to repay you!! ...Of course!! // Would you like some takoyaki?!
[Box: Kissing Gourami Mermaid, Caimie (Wants to be a designer, currently works at a takoyaki shop)]
Luffy: Takoyaki~~~~?! I love takoyaki!!
Caimie: Really?! Well, then!! That will be 500 Beri!!
Thing: Don't SELL them!!!
Caimie: Oh, no, I screwed up~~~~~~!!!
[Insert text: So sudden!!]
[TN: As far as I can see, the popular spelling of the mermaid's name seems to be "Camie", but… I don't like it somehow. It doesn't really reflect the pronunciation very well. Unless it's official or something, I think I'll stick with "Caimie" for the moment.] -
isn't common sense to not put 3 df users in a submarine.
-
How many Devil Fruit users does it take to screw in a submarine?
Answer:
! THREE
-
awesome. that carlos net translation doesnt call Garp for carp, fishman island for merman island and the depth limit is 5 000 instead of 5 m.
-
http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r237/abara2k6/largemarge.jpg
Bahaha good catch, looks so similar too. Guess Oda a Tim Burton fan neh?
-
khamolen: "skip shot 7"? what is "shot 7"?
I mean this:
Paulie's appearance was shot 6, but 7 seems to have been skipped.
-
Anyone notice how confident Usopp's getting? All those seakings and instead of freaking out, he makes an observance of how they're tiny compared to Odr. That's really gotta speak something about his character.
-
Perhaps, besides Usopp becoming more confident, this Chapter also hinted that we saw the LAST of Pistol back at Thriller Bark.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Luffy began to use Rifle as his standard punch.
-
usopp has been slowly creeping up my favorite character list for a while now, i definitely noticed him being more confident here and loved it, and this was an amazing chapter, thanks Battle Franky
