@Blake:
Eh stuff like fan games are breaking copy right law and run patreons and stuff just fine, I understand if the team just wants to be careful though.
But doing that brings more attention and then they get shut down hard. Just because these fan projects do take donations doesnt mean they get away with it for long.
By not taking money/donations the chance of being noticed goes way way down. And if found out its far far less likely there will be big repercussions besides just being told to stop.

@Blake:
Exactly, like it or not one piece is targeted towards children. the langauge itsn't intended to be that vulgar.
Yup. And thats part of OP's charm really. It's so good because it can remain a happy light adventure while still dealing with a lot of dark themes. The dialogue remains light, for the most part, to not overburden readers/watchers. Oda does this so well. I really dont think One Piece would be as good as it is if it were a seinen series honestly.
profanity in japanese and english isn't the same, the level of vulgarity you'll find in a WSJ series and an R-rated japanese film for example aren't that different, multiple characters in the series swear sanji says shit every other sentence.
But its literally in a magazine targeted for 13 year olds.
One Piece is, basically, what would be PG13 in English. No hard swearing. No hard sexual content. No excessive gore.
I am aware swearing in Japanese and in English is very different, Japanese having much less actual swears and its mostly about context/attitude/content/ect, but even then One Piece is clearly meant to always be pretty kid friendly. Oda has always given off that feeling in everything he writes. He may make a little dirty joke/answer a dirty joke in the SBS from time to time but its still mostly meant to be light and the jokes never get TOO bad.
So while the swears in OP and the swears in an "r-rated" japanese film may be similar/the same its the context/attitude/actual content that wildly differ.

RE: One Pace
swearing is fine it's better than having the characters repeating "darn" or "crap"
But it's just not the One Piece spirit. It's not meant to be that vulgar.
Damn/Crap(on that level) is literally what they are actually saying. To make that into something its not, by putting the F word/ect, is not staying in line with what Oda wants/how the characters are. Its mischaracterizing which is never good.

RE: One Pace
huh? You doing the direct download option? They must have different files depending on how you download. I was torrenting.
Yeah, thats what I've been doing. I think the episodes look perfectly fine too that way.
