@Rody:

grew up in Africa

May I ask what country in Africa? Because we've got a super exotic mix already, but if I can add a fifth continent to the list (just Australia and Antarctica to go!)… that'd be great.

Wow looks really nice. Great work by all of you guys. Was there some sort of agreed colour scheme from everyone?

Only issue is that Robin has incorrect eye colour. She has brown eyes. Not blue like the anime wants you to believe.

[botnus]

i'm just a lurker since i dont know crap about coloring and whatnot but i'm so happy for you guys and especially for my fellow indonesian. can't wait how it'll turn out

Hi there, always good to see a fellow countrymen.

Nope, we don't have any sort of agreement before-hand. That was the whole point, it's interesting to see different color schemes form different people. And hey, if Zoro can have a grey hair, then Robin can have blue eyes

@Gold:

…

Planning to send this thing tomorrow. Just need a location from you, Mr. Gold!

[Ukimix]

I just sent him a message to his devianart account (according to his signature). Let's hope it works.

[Dryish]

His deviantART profile has his country listed as Canada. I think it's pretty safe to assume that he's from there, but by all means do wait for the confirmation.

[CCC]

Okay. About to mail it.

Here's the letter

@letter:

Oda-sensei,

Thank you from the bottom of hearts for using our international fan brigade's (we are a site called "Arlong Park") idea for the omake manga, "RPG Time." Words alone wouldn't be enough to express our thanks, so we would like to present you with this gift. I translated RPG Time into English, and then our nakama added color to all the panels. Each scene was colored by a different person.
Participants included individuals from Indonesia, the Phillipines, Sweden, Switzerland, Colombia, Russia, The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Canada, and America. We understand if you don't run this in Usopp's Gallery, but really we just want you to see it.
Please continue to treat us favorably!

-Hisabisa Taro

Pennames of the participants:
-ponx
-ukimix
-Warp Predator
-Silver R. Bolt
-Rody Naruto
-inori
-Tare_chan
-Gold
-Renegadesoul
-Book Shonen

[trappedolphin]

This is so awesome. Fantastic job everyone! Thank you ponx for organising everything, and CCC for drafting the letter and sending it all~

[ponx]

@CCC:

Okay. About to mail it.

Here's the letter

Wow. So it's finally happening. Oda is going to see our work ('scuse me, got sumtin in my eye). Thanks a bunch guys for supporting this project, I had my doubts at first, but apparently I should never underestimate OP fandom, especially here

And thx CCC, I think that letter says it all. But I kinda have doubts about mentioning our site, seeing as we post spoilers n all. Is it really okay?

[CCC]

@ponx:

Ha ha don't worry. I promise you that Oda isn't personally going to come looking for our site. Besides, non-members can't see the spoiler section, and if the bigshots at Shueisha gave a damn about spoilers on the internet, they'd go after the guys on 2ch, not some [relatively] small English-speaking community.

[Ukimix]

That's really nice!!!!! The America location can't be more specific? Does it belong to Gold?

[CCC]

The America location was actually for Silver R. Bolt (I'm assuming his Indianapolis is the one in Indiana)… wasn't about to get more specific with that when the other countries listed were just countries (and not cities, or anything).

[Ukimix]

I see. To us, in Colombia, 'America' always means a continent, not a country; but I see people from USA use to think that 'America' means USA. I wonder how Odachi will take it. You should know CCC.

Hahah, I wouldn't mind Oda coming to check our site, actually. I just don't want those Shueisha bigshots. And yeah, ur prolly right. If they were bent on stopping those spoilers, we won't be the first on their hitlist.

@Ukimix: I suppose so, yeah. Dryish said that Gold most likely lives in the US (according to his DeviantArt account). Anyway, so now u got a good closure to ur diary thread eh Ukimix? Although the best closure would actually be Oda giving something to let us know he's received it. (How cool would it be if it were some sort of in-manga reference :wub:)

-edit- I remembered it wrong, Gold is most likely Canadian

Nami: "Hey Luffy, did you see today's paper?"
Luffy: "Paper? What's that? Is there meat inside?"
Nami: "No stupid. It's an article about my home town, Cocoyashi! The people have rebuilt Arlong Park, but it's now a cultural center where they come up with great ideas for bonus comic strips, and then color the finished versions! How great is that?"
Robin: "The only way it would be better is if they recruited people from every sea to work there!"

That would be pretty nice.

I updated the diary post a couple of days ago. Take a look. Next update will be with this new about the letter.

[ponx]

Announcer: And now, the elimination match in Blok C has started. It seems like the old man Lucy is surrounded by a group of 12 people calling themselves The Arlong Park Brigade (insert cameo of our pennames). Wow. What is this!! All of them were sent flying with a single punch! What an incredibly strong old man!

My prediction for future chapter

[Robby]

Why am I only finding out about this 4 months later? I woulda colored something. (It being my profession and all.)

Someone shoulda told me!

Ah well.

Still, cool stuff guys!

[tatermoog]

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Arlong Park is just full of amazing people.

Wonderful work, guys and gals.

[Tare_chan]

the predictions of cameos already make me shiver with anticipation!!

anyway…. thankyou very much CCC! and so the waiting starts.

Btw, aaawww... Robby..... so sorry for that.... I feel really bad now... should've told you about this project. =(

[inori]

Thank you, Tare-chan & ponx, for the answer
Thank you CCC

Sorry.... I always think it was blue....
I make a mistake there…

[Maron]

Gorgeous work guys, apologize again for not submitting in time but the quality is outstanding.

Hoping for the best!

[MetaMario]

Late to the party, but I've got to say…..this is amazing. Congrats to everyone involved in the coloring, and CCC for sending the letter!

[Renegadesoul]

@CCC:

Here's the letter

Just curious CCC, are the pennames in English or written in Japanese characters?

[CCC]

@Renegadesoul:

wrote them in English. katakana is my mortal enemy and I will never use it when I don't have to.

[Enzeru]

I can't believe I missed this one as well. Really cool idea you guys had and it's impressive that you managed to finish it so nicely and sent it to Oda-sensei. Great job!

[Rebecca]

Oh, man…I'd love to be a part of something like this if we ever do one in the future! QuQ That's just so cool...
