One Piece Volume 25 : Hundred Million Man Chapter 234 Please Be Sure to Remember It - Page 147 - Chapter 234 - Please Be Sure to Remember It - Page 148 - [Holy Land, Mariejoa] Marines: HEY, CUT IT OUT!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! No, my hands... are moving on their own...!! DO YOU THINK THIS IS THE TIME FOR JOKES?!! Old Woman: That's right, this is no time for jokes. Stop the pranks! [Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral (Chuujou)] ["Chief Advisor" Tsuru] Tsuru: Is that your doing, Doflamingo? Be a good boy. Quit it. - Page 149 - Doflamingo: Haha!!! Hah hah hah...!!! Be a good boy, haha!! Oh, you're too much, Otsuru-san. Well then... Let's get the talking all talked out... (Note: Doflamingo's laugh is a closed-mouth chuckle that comes out the nose. However, I don't like writing it out in the Japanese phonetic way "fufufufufu" because then it sounds like he's saying "foo foo foo foo foo".) Marine: R... Doflamingo: Hah hah hah!!! And get this meeting over with. Marines: AAAH!! Stop, you fool!!! Stop it!! Make him stop!! Doflamingo-sama!! Doflamingo: Hahahahaha!! Voice: CEASE. - Page 150 - [Marine Headquarters Chief Admiral (Gensui)] [(High Commander of the Marine Forces)] [Sengoku the Buddha] (Note: Sengoku can mean "civil war" in Japanese.) Sengoku: Halt your childish games. Are you here to start a war? Sigh... the formalities ran a bit long... Thank you for coming. Goat: Maaaaaaa~ - Page 151 - Sengoku: REFUSE OF THE SEAS. Doflamingo: Haha!! Hahaha!! Hmmm... why, thank you... [Seven Armed Seas Pirate] [Donquixote Doflamingo] [Former Bounty: 340 Million Berries] Kuma: However, he is correct. [Seven Armed Seas Pirate] [Bartholomew Kuma] [Former Bounty: 296 Million Berries] - Page 152 - Sengoku: Shall we start? There's no use waiting... No one else will come... Getting 2 out of 6 was better than I had expected. Doflamingo: Yeah, I didn't wanna come either. The island business has been too good lately. I came cause I was bored. Sengoku: Well, that's depressing to hear. There's nothing as unfortunate for us to hear than that the pirating business is going well. Doflamingo: Hahaha!! Haha!! Gee, you're killin' me today. You're gonna make that Buddha cry, you know?! Admiral Sengoku...!! Mihawk: I hear a useless conversation. Have I come to the wrong place? - Page 153 - Someone: HAWK EYES!!!! Mihawk: "Marine Headquarters" and "Seven Armed Seas"... two conflicting groups of equal power holding a "round table" is a meaningless thing. Doflamingo: ...well, looky here...!! The last man I expected to see has shown up. Mihawk: ...hmph... I am simply here to observe. I have a bit of interest in the pirates on the agenda this time... that is all. - Page 154 - Lafitte: Then may I say I am here to observe, as well? ...no, not quite observe. My my, such esteemed members are present. Sengoku: WHO ARE YOU?!! HOW DID YOU GET IN?!! Lafitte: I wanted... if at all possible, Doflamingo: Huh?! Lafitte: To join this meeting... - Page 155 - Lafitte: And participate. I had heard of Mr. Crocodile's demotion, and thought perhaps you were looking for a replacement. Tsuru: You're Lafitte. Lafitte: ...oh, you even know my name... That's very kind of you. Sengoku: Who is that, Otsuru-san? Tsuru: A famous peacekeeper in "West Blue", but his extra-violent tendencies caused him to be chased out of his country... Lafitte: Haha... an old story. But I am not what matters here. I've come to nominate a CERTAIN MAN to join the "Seven Armed Seas". - Page 156 - [Grand Line] Whitebeard: Shanks... Haven't heard that name in a while. So this is a letter from Shanks. Rockstar: Yes, it seems to be important, which is why I came to deliver it by hand!! Whitebeard: I see. Well, good job... [Red-Hair Pirate Crew (New Recruit)] [Rockstar] [Bounty: 94 Million Berries] Rockstar: Nah, I'm still just like, a recruit. Although I used to be a pirate, originally. A pretty well-known one, in my opinion... Hey... you guys all know Rockstar, right...? Pirate: Nahh... who's that...? Rockstar: ...HUH?!! - Page 157 - Whitebeard: He gives me a blasted letter...!! Rockstar: Wait... hey...!!! Whitebeard: Since when did THAT BOY get to be so important? Rockstar: Wh...!! Hey, hold on!!! The boss said this is an extremely important letter...!!! I... I'm talking about "RED-HAIR" here?!! Do you know what you're doing?!! Whitebeard: I am "Whitebeard". (Note: Yes, I'm aware that is a mustache. Just pretend it doesn't matter, then I won't have to call him "White'stach".) Nurse: Captain, you've had enough alcohol... Whitebeard: Shut up. I drink what I like. It can't be bad for my body. Rockstar: ...Boss said that was really urgent...!! Whitebeard: I can guess what it said... about "Ace" and "Blackbeard". You tell that red-headed little shit... IF YOU WANNA TALK TO ME, BRING SOME GOOD DRINK... - Page 158 - Whitebeard: Now leave. I'M NOT TALKING TO ANY SNOT-NOSED AIRHEADS. - Page 159 - [Strongest Man in the World] [The Great Pirate "Whitebeard"] [Edward Newgate] - Page 160 - [A certain winter island] Shanks: Hahaha... that old guy will never change... Hahaha... Rockstar: That isn't funny...!! Shanks: Well... I figured that's what would happen. Rockstar: Boss!! Give me a little more time!! This is the first time I've ever been so disgraced!! Shanks: Whatever you're going to do, don't. You did good, now come back. Rockstar: B... but, my honor... Shanks: Your life is more precious than your honor. Sorry for wasting your time with that. Roo: What are we gonna do, Boss? Shanks: Go... get the ship ready!! Roo: To Whitebeard's place?! Shanks: Yeah, that's right. Beckman: Do you think the governments are going to sit back and let that happen?! Shanks: ...I'm not worried about that. - Page 161 - Shanks: The governments may not try to let this happen... but if they interfere, we won't stay quiet about it either...!!! Roo: YAAAHOOO!!! GET READY BOYS!!! WE'RE GOIN' TO BATTLE!!! Shanks: Yeah!!! Get our best rum!! - Page 162 - Sengoku: Teach...?! Lafitte: Yes... that is the name of our captain. Sengoku: Don't know him. Whoever you think you are, other pirates will not be intimidated. Lafitte: We are aware of that. We are currently forming a plan you may find interesting. We just need a little time. Doflamingo: Haha!! Hahahaha!! Nice!! Hey, let 'em do it, Sengoku!! Haha!! Lafitte: The name of our crew is... THE BLACKBEARD PIRATES. Please be sure to remember it. [Jaya, Mocktown (Current Time)] Men: Hey, did you hear?! Yeah, Bellamy got beat!!! By who?! - Page 163 - Large Man: Hundred million... I thought thirty was odd for a kid with such ambition, but THIS...!! Pirate: Vhat vill ve do, Captain?! Sarquiss: Hey, you swine!! Don't get your chunky ass in my way!! I'm in a really bad mood right now. Large Man: SHUT UP!!! I got nothin' to do with you small-timers...!!! We've been lookin' for a man worth a hundred million or more!!! Zehahaha!!! This is our chance to hit the big time!!! - Page 164 - [Blackbeard Pirates Helmsman] ["Champion"] [Jesus Burgess] Vargess: UIIIIHAHAHAHA!!! FINALLY WE GET TO HUNT!!! [Blackbeard Pirates Marksman] ["Supersonic"] [Van Auger] Van Auger: But Captain, Lafitte is supposed to meet up with us here. - Page 165 - [Captain of the Blackbeard Pirates] ["Blackbeard"] [Marshall D. Teach] Blackbeard: That ain't like you, Auger. Wasn't getting lost and separated part of your whole "fate" thing?!! ZEHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! [Blackbeard Pirates Doctor] ["Reaper"] [Doc Q.] Doc Q.: Precisely. Fate is but the measurement of the value of human existence... cough. Ahhh... - Page 166 - SBS Corner D: Where is Villa? In Vol. 11 it's having a "coup d'etat", in chapter 228 it's a "sunny town". What is it? O: Oh. Well spotted. 400 years ago when Norland visited it, Villa was indeed just a sunny town, but these days it's a violent and dangerous country in the midst of a coup d'etat (rebellion). But it's not really so much what's happening in Villa, as what's happening all around the world at this time. I think you'll discover what I mean in the main story after a while. Anyhow, it's not as huge as Alabasta, just a little country. Hold off on your sightseeing trips. D: Oda-sensei, I saw the movie "One Piece Creature Island, Chopper's Kingdom". It was really really great. The movie that was shown with it, "The Soccer King of Dreams" had a character named "Odacchi" which I was very surprised to see. Oda-sensei, DOES YOUR FACE REALLY LOOK LIKE THAT? O: Yes. D: Hello, Oda-sensei. Reading the latest One Piece, I've just noticed that Sanji has leg hair. And I was thinking, if he's blond, the leg hair shouldn't stand out so much. I am a huge fan of Sanji, so I must say that I don't like the fact that he has leg hair. Oda-sensei, please do something about this. (I'm begging you) O: But he's fuzzy. You know, Chopper's fuzzy too. The SBS is over! See you next volume!! - Chapter 234 Owari -
