I haven't explored the entirety of this thread yet but is there someone who usually translates the vivre cards in full? I'm really interested in what each of the CP9 cards say

Geez, Capone's kid…

@NateRich:

"Whatever, I'll just have another kid."

That has me thinking, this is a long shot but what if Big Mom is possibly pregnant again? Her "eating disorder" reminds me of the wild cravings of a pregnant woman. It would make trying to defeat her more interesting.

@LightningAce:

If i remember correctly,it was said Oda's grandmother died or something which is why there is no chapter this week.

@Jex_Wang:

FREAKIN WOW. SO TECHNICALLY IT'S A 2 WEEK BREAK HUH. I THOUGHT IT'S ONLY ONE FFS.:getlost:

:sad: Oda needs some time to mourn and process things, the manga isn't going anywhere.

To never waste food.

I'm being genuinely serious when I say that Sanji has made me hate food wastage. If I can't finish a meal, I try to save it for later or give it to someone else.

@dropper:

There's a whole new album of character songs of the main crew after the time-skip, it even includes Law and Jinbei songs!

Here's Luffy's, you'll have to find the rest, the tracks are from the supplement CD bonus from the Rookies collection DVD box.

@Galaxy:

I posted the linkto that back when it first came out, but here's a repost for relevance.

Thank y'all so much!!

@RobZilla:

I see.

So any more distinct memories of what specific chapter you got up to date with?

Even a general area of ~5 chapters would be fine for the purposes of this thread.

Because of the horrible time I had trying to find the manga online back in 2002, I stuck with reading the American SJ and stopped searching for up-to-date chapters. It wasn't until I discovered this site in 2005 that I got somewhat caught up.

I remember episode 238 being out, so I searched until I could find the beginning of the Water 7 arc, which was chapter 322. (I skipped over the entirety of Jaya/Skypiea! I finally read that arc within these past 2 years.) After binging on the Water 7 chapters and episodes, I managed to catch up to when chapter 431 (Oct 2006) was released, so I got to experience the magic of reading a new chapter with an entire forum. Since then, I've been 100% caught up on the manga, reading the weekly updates.

tl;dr: Chapter 322 in 2005. Was finally 100% caught up with Water 7 when chapter 431 came out.

@RobZilla:

12 years huh? Very nice.

So going by 2003, we're talking somewhere in Skypiea then? (I don't know how the American SJ releases sync with the Japanese ones)

I just looked it up and yeah, the American SJ started shortly after Skypiea began.

I remember being obsessed with it in early 2002, but because the full manga was nonexistent on the internet back then (or maybe I was just terrible at finding it ), I didn't get to read it until Shonen Jump started getting published in America which was in January of 2003. Been a dedicated fan for 12 years!

It's been a while since I've been on this thread! I'm in desperate need to catch up on my OP music.

Have any new character songs been released lately? The last one I got was the Binks no Sake EP.
