Baroque works Bounty hunters were villains
But those were small fry. I thought Joekido was talking about big guys he´d like to see. And we didn´t see any big bounty hunters so far.

I don't follow your logic, joekido. The WG is an alliance, and rules with the consent of those under it; few people know about Buster Call, so the Gorousei/Sengoku are not ruling by terror. Furthermore, Aokiji helped out Tonjit (?).
…but most of all, the Gorousei felt remorse/anguish over initiating Buster Call on O'hara. Look at Chapter 395, on the page with the dialogue "O'hara knows too much".
The WG is not bad, they just have different ideals that the kingdome. The obvious difference is the regime type; monarchy v. polity, or perhaps tyranny v. democracy. I know not. The same could be said of the Soviet Union; obviously, the Soviets considered the US a bad regime, but they probably felt their own was pretty good. Sure, we're fed a bunch of distorted facts about how people in the SU suffered, and some people have gone and written books about how life there sucked…but those people are just begging for money/attention. Americans are predisposed to hating the SU, so they immediately accept an opinion, even a minority, that is consistent with their belief. Psychologists call this confirmation bias.

I hate to sound snarky but you've mispelled this word about 50 times and no one else has pointed it out yet.
This is a Kingdome
The word you want is kingdom
Wow, and all along I thought that it was some archaic way of spelling kingdom.
Everytime I discredit the WG, people has to get all snarky instend of just agreeing with me. I remamber Jackavce and Wolfwood always bite my head off everytime I do that. I'll just wait untie this series is over before I can judge it or not, Luffy better not get excuted in the end of the series.
The WG is very weak and they have been discreidt by the Ohara tribe so let's go that word.
I have a British-style of spelling, which I have maintained since fourth grade in respect for the great Roald Dahl. "Colour", "armour", "tonne", "Sulpher", "freedome" and "kingdome" are all spelled in that way, though sometimes I revert to "ton" because I only recently started to use the alternate spelling.

You're taking an unusually arrogant approach to this; "People always disagree with me instead of agreeing"? Yes, I also think the WG is corrupt, but I asked you to defend your reasoning as to why. I'm interested, though not to descredit you, rather to understand where you are coming from. For me, the WG's "infallibility" revolves around a gut feeling, as I know all governments have a degree of corruptibility. Remember that "good" and "evil" do not exist in the Modern World, because those are objective terms, and by objective, everyone knows what good or evil is. That isn't the case anymore.
Well, the reason why I wnat to see the WG go down is so that Luffy won't have to get excused by them. When I discredit the WG, people just get snarky and that is what they did, I did not say it to offend anyone
Yeah, ok, just a quick pop up… Malintex. I could be wrong here, but I tend to use the British way of spelling myself, and neither that one nor the Americanized one use ''freedome'' or ''kingdome''. Officially, at least. It could be you're just being creative... In which case, keep it up! I encourage creativity. Making up words is fun, after all.
Ahh, I see where you are coming from now. You're being discredited for voicing an unpopular theory. Remember, though, Luffy's ascension to becoming a Pirate King does not entail an inevitable execution; Dorry and Broggy have had their bounties for a hundred years apiece, and they're still free and engaging in their battle.

That is a high possibility; I seem to remember a discussion with another person on my secondary forum regarding this spelling issue, but I have forgotten the discussion. I will take a reference glance, just in case.
reference glance
According to The Compact Oxford English Dictionary, Kingdom is a word and Kingdome is not.
(One more pet peeve of mine, as long as we're on the spelling/grammar tangent; you misuse whom quite a bit. It always digs at me to see someone trying so hard to be proper as to overuse whom.)
Honestly though, no offense. You are one of the most well informed and coherent posters on this board and nearly every post you make brings with it a new insight into something I might have otherwise overlooked.
Anywho, [/derail]
Ok, that's cleared up*. I also apologise about the "whom" usage, as I try to avoid the generic "you" so much as to include "whom" in non-objective clauses without "one" as a precursor.
*Heh, it appears as if I may need some serious practice to get out of the "e" habit.
I demand that you keep using e, it makes you way cooler than 99% of this board.

Okay then…
I really enjoyed this chapeter for it's scromat of pofi. The look on Robins tarzl, when she learned Olivia is her growbi was simply heartpurffing. Man I can't wait to see what Sauro will snorbgie about this. Yammotivoch next querilot.

You know, I was almost shot in Chinatown once for mimicking a poor woman who didn't know English in a jewelry shop. I was four at the time. I assume you are older…?
now is that isn't a WTF moment…I dunno what is!!

Well he was creative :sleep:
Well, this thread's useless now.
Wow… I really didn't think that through, did it. I was just trying to raise a point that when you start using languge that others arn't familer with then it's going to sound nonsecicle. Like talking about Nakama and devil fruits to people who have no idea what the terms mean. I guess I was trying to prove is that if you start using terms others arn't familer with, it doesn't nesicarally make you cool and creative. It can also make seem crazy and annoying, or in the case of Kingdome like you can't spell, when in fact your making a reference to something that proves you are in fact fairly well read.
Also when making up words you have to have some knowldge of linguistics is a good idea. Tokien may have made several ficticious laungeges but he was a proffessor of Luinguitics, and thus knew what a tounge needed to work.
If I hurt anyones feelings I'm truly sorry.
P.S. Looks like I'm in no posistion to compalin about spelling mistakes.
By large, I am disappointed here.
I…
I was making a joke.
Well he was creative :sleep:
I wasn't lying.
…
It's just a warning, though. I still pronounce "kingdom" in the same manner with/without the "e", so it was just a preference for my writing. But I do urge caution when around other people; messing around with a culture one may not understand could have disasterous reprocussions.
@Cap'n:
Well, this thread's useless now.
Seconded.
So anyway.. Who still thinks Robin's going to take out the ships and how? I know it isn't likely, but it would still be interesting to see it.
Well I always figured she either grabbed the controls and steered the ships into a reef, or she set used her powers to set fires in the ships ammo stores and blew them up.
Coward, apologizing is for the weak - except when I do it. Worm Courtesy Rule, and all. Although Luffy's Hat, I like your idea of her grabbing the ship controls and steering them into reefs. A pretty creative assault if that's the case.
MALINTEX, I am glad to hear you'll continue kingdome-ing your way around ap.
Just a general question (that's probably been answered 20 times already, but I'm too lazy and sleepy to go through the last pages), when can we expect the next chapter out?
19th at the earliest. Hopefully we'll get a legit 396 spoiler earlier in that week.
O_o ?? what?? I thought we have no chapter last week…. oh dear, looks like I'm nearly a week late ><
anyway... thanks for the chapter and the translation ^^ now.. may extra late comment:
wow.... so Robin learn to be an archeologist just to be with her mom... ;; that scene is soo... touching... I'm sure I will cry when I watch the anime.
and that shoot... O_o the WG is so ridiculous... >< what is the name of the kingdom?? at least let Prof. Clover finished his word so that I won't die of curiousity and OMG, Buster Call is on their way >_<
can't wait to read next chapter....
btw, are mr.5, ms. valentine, and ms golden week left bon clay alone with hina? O_o
I seriously think that the name of the kingdom is something people will recognize in another context….and that it begins with D.
Maybe the clan of D is the royal family of this kingdom, and that would make Luffy heir to it's thrown and the One Piece is some kind of royal symbol of authority.
Just a thought.

NAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 weeks?!?!?
Yup, it sucks. Though surprisingly enough it's a fairly busy week this week, despite the slowness here on the net. With the Colour Walk 3 going on sale tomorrow, 4th LOG on 6th & Jump 6-7 on the 7th.
Hey. I was at the store and I saw an English Colorwalk. Is this something new or did I miss a thread? It was SO COOL! There was a map of the Grandline. xDD
Yes, you missed a thead. I remember I started a thread about it several months ago and everyone was like, "yeah, old news".
I haven't seen it yet in the stores. :(
so are we supposed to have chapter this week or not ?

No. 395 was meant for this week but it got out early.
A great chapter, this flashback just keeps getting better and better. And I really hope that Oda'll finally show us the connection between Gold Roger and Poneglyphs and the demons of Ohara.
Btw, Majek, is that one of Miki Muster's characters in your avatar? =)
btw, are mr.5, ms. valentine, and ms golden week left bon clay alone with hina? O_o
if they did, i think he'll stop his okama way. a man can't resist to a woman able to lock him whenever wherever.
Well, lets not forget about Mr. 3. He´s going to play a role here too IMO.
@Green:

yes, Zvitorepec. i got tired of having "foreign" characters in my avatar so i choose to have one made in Slovenia=)

Cool. I've seen that they're reprinting entire Muster's work, and as I heard, those editions don't cost much, right?

It's not all the work, well not yet =), but only 20 comics .And yes it cheap and they're not just reprints of older editions as Muster, being the perfectionist he is ,has corrected or used the original artwork to improve the quality of these prints.

Damn, I would so want to go to Slovenia one of these days (since I don't live far) to get those editions, but I just don't have the time, with all the exams and college work. =(

Ok, that's good. xD I might have bought it but … meh. I'm too poor at the moment.

I know what you mean buddy…unfortunatly.
No new chapter next week, we have to wait untie the week after next week
About how Robin sinks the ships, I always pictured like a thousands hands breaking and dragging the boats down X P Dunno if thats feasible or not considering shes young and may or may not have mastered her powers yet.
@Hyper:

I kinda agree with Hyper Dingo. The story of Robin sinking the ship maybe just a 'story' the WG made up so that they can put a bounty on her and to keep people away from here. Additionally, Robin will be taken away by a ship with Aoikji in charge (Aokiji once said when he met the Strawhats for the first time that Robin once escaped from him). So I think she probably 'paralyzed several men & excaped from the ship.
I too agree that the wait is killing me XD but it just makes the next chapter more worthwile I guess
On another matter, I'm really looking forward to the fights between the Strawhats & CP9 since it's been a while since the Strawhats fought 'together'. The last time I could remember was during the Arlong arc
