(If anyone has seen the raw and understands Japanese) is homies a good/appropriate translation for what the souls go into? Kind of a funny thing to call them and I'm wondering if it's MS taking liberties or Oda basically called them that.

This was a pretty good chapter. I was surprised Oda went on to give so much important information in this one chapter but it's good to have now. I wasn't expecting the guy buried in the ground to have been BM's husband but that's interesting and I wonder how the Lola connection will play out next chapter/when we see this scene next. Bobbin probably is one of the other sweet commanders.

@Sang:

WOW, thank you sandman. I hope Film Gold is the last movie Oda worked on.

I agree I hope he stays away from all future movies (for his health not quality reasons obviously). Oda making the manga in the best health possible is for the best for everyone.

I don't want the crew to be separated from Luffy again… Hopefully at least one of them will somehow end up coming with him. But I enjoyed this chapter and am liking the unpredictability of this arc.

I'm guessing Zou only has 5-10 more chapters which will deal with Nekomamushi and Inuarashi reconciling, and more imminently the Minks' reaction to Kin'emon and Kanjuro.

It is obvious but in case someone missed it the whale forest where the men the Mink are after are is probably in the trees above the whale's smile at the top of this page http://img01.ishuhui.com/op/bei804/10-11.png

@Kishido:

If true… So sad :cwy:

@KageKageKing:

Why again?:wassat:

He said in an author comment in January
"Jump Festa’s [Super] Stage is really fun every year, but have decided for the sake of my aesthetics as a Mangaka, that this year’s appearance would be my last. Thank you."

@Kishido:

Dunno where to ask it and don't want to bump up an old thread… But now infos about Jump Festa?

Oda isn't attending this year's Jump Festa (or future ones) so there most likely won't be any hint of where the manga is going/news unlike past years.

The top 10 isn't surprising but it will be interesting to see the order (Law will probably beat Sanji and maybe Zoro), thanks redon.

@goty:

According to these charts, the first game sold 1.15 million, while the two versions of the 2nd game sold 730k, combined. That's still very high, and to be expected for a sequel that many saw as just an update.

That site guesses the sales of games so Pirate Warriors 2 probably didn't sell that well.
@rayleigh92:

do you think it'll have a own storyline as KM2 or will adapt a true saga part?

I'm guessing it will have another filler story but with some new stages.

@Devil:

Wow, I didn't hear anything about this. What numbers are we talking about?

These were the sales for the other games

[PS3] One Piece Pirate Warriors - 828,132
[PS3] One Piece Pirate Warriors 2 - 407,132
[PSV] One Piece Pirate Warriors 2 - 103,757

Edit: These might be inaccurate since the first game was reported to sell over a million, just saw these sales on another forum…
