Sign up there and stop your whining. :getlost:

Sadly they are in the middle of maintenance.

Woot! Thanks, Vegapunk, this will be a very special episode for me because it marks the first chapter I scanlated of One Piece.

SD and HD have never been together if you haven't noticed.

Thanks mucho Vegapunk, you guys roxxorz my soxxorz.

@Geg:

You can't be serious.

"Saul" is the bad romanization. サウロ -> Sauro -> Saulo. There's no reason to think it's correct without the o.

If it was like that then Usopp would be Usoppu, Wapol would be Wapolu, Iceburg would be Iceburgu.

So you take the shot on that one.

The Japanese can't end their words without a vowel other than with the sound n. Thus, cutting off the last vowel in the name is a common thing in romanization of names.

@Geg:

Awesome, great job.

One question though: Why are you spelling Saulo's name as Saul rather than Saulo?

Because they are doing it the right way already. Saulo is bad romanization. :happy:

Thanks a bunch for the release although I wait for the encodes as well!

Yeah, sorry, ADC, but I'm waiting for either you guys or Vegapunk to sub 292 then I'm jumping on the VP bandwagon.

I think 2 months is my limit, I'm going into OP withdrawal.

Yes, its me, no I'm not dead!

Uhh yeah, our last chapter wasn't really beautiful so to say, but lesson learned and solution found I guess you could say!
