Wow, translated too already. Thanks!

@joesephes:

BF, could you post this chapter in zip. format please?

Its just that I can't open lzh. files since I dont have the program for it, thats all. :sad:

Both WinZip and Winrar can open lzh files as well as WinAce. The .lzh format really shouldn't present a problem for anyone. On Linux use LHA and on the Mac you can use Stuffit Expander or MacLHA.

LZH file, but opens ok in Winzip, and yes the quality is great for a first release. Thanks again BF! (First time on the first page, woot!) :)

Here's another join of the colour spread, stitched, touched up and resized. Enjoy!

Ah, so Toshiya spotted zombie Pandaman first :) (look below Perona). As to Brook, I think the clue we get that it may be the samurai guard is the foot wear. Looks like Oda is having a lot of fun with this one. The zombie army opens up a whole slew of possibilities for drawing material. Love Moria's pirate symbol too.

Thanks for revising the translation. Great job!

@Buuhan1:

Thats a great idea about the Usopp one, Cos-chan!

I wish I could make shirts.

Making a copy of a shirt from scratch takes training, but if you just want a logo or picture on a t-shirt or sweat shirt, all you need is a blank t-shirt, ink jet printer, iron-on transfer paper for your inkjet and a clothes iron. There's even a video with directions on Cnet TV: http://www.cnettv.com/9710-1_53-23505.html

@Solid:

Wrong, as you can see Naginatas blade is like a katana, small, and Whitebeards blade isnt small, so it is probably a guan dao/ Kwan dao, the famous weapon that the warlord Guan Yu used.

This does acttually fitt very weel, as they said Guan Yu was the most famous warriors at his time in China, kinda like Whitebeard now.

I hope though that we will see a strong female with a naginata… That would rock...

Judging by the size of the blade on the Chinese statue, the Kwan dao is a better match and it's history is certainly more befitting of someone like Whitebeard. Kwan dao it is.

@GODA_8000:

3. What weapon is Whitebeard using, it looks more of a spear than sword?

Some people have mentioned spears and pole arms, but those are a general class of weapon. There are many variations on pole arms and spears. Spears typically have a double edge, and pole arms often have the spear head flanked by double or single axe heads, so I did a bit of research on Wikipedia. What makes Whitebeard's weapon stand out is the lack of an axe head and the single sided blade, effectively making it a sword blade on a pole. So my conclusion is that Whitebeard is wielding a Japanese "naginata". The European equivalent would be a glaive.

What is interesting is that Oda chose to give Whitebeard a weapon that, according to Wikipedia, has become associated with women and in modern Japan is studied more by women than men.

@Aldrich:

He doesn't strike me as the type of guy who'd kill a friend, when you see what he does to protect a complete stranger. Plus seriously… "Ice Time Capsule"... Not "Ice Time Just Die You Asshole"

ROFLOL … A comment befitting Steve. :)

Aokiji speaks of Saul in the past tense, and I imagined that the reason Aokiji was initially looking out for Robin was because Saul was dead and Aokiji felt responsible for her, but your explanation makes good sense.
