Marine: The fleet has fallen!!

[Marine Headquarters]

Marines: Red-Hair and Whitebeard are making contact!!
	We don't know what could happen!!
	Maintain utmost vigilance, men!!!
	Sir!!

Pirate: Here comes their captain, Red-Hair!!

[Whitebeard Pirates]
[3rd Squad Captain]
[Joz]

Joz: Red-Hair is coming.

[Whitebeard Pirates]
[1st Squad Captain]
[Marco]

Marco: All you kids better step back.  You're not gonna last.

 - Page 72 -

Pirate: Huh...?  Not gonna last, HOW...?

Marco: Just get in the back.

Pirates: Huh?!  Hey, what's wrong, you guys?
	What's happening to you?!
	(flop!)(flop)(thump...)

Marco: Ah well... too late.
	Keep it down, they're just knocked out...

Joz: You cannot maintain consciousness before him
	unless you are fully prepared for it...!!
	(grimace...)

 - Page 73 -

Joz: As always...
	He exudes crazy "ambition."

Pirates: (thump thump...)(thump...)(thump...!!)

Ship: (creak creak...)

Shanks: (thk)(thk...)
	(thk)(thk...)

 - Pages 74 & 75 -

Shanks: Pardon.
	I had to use a bit of intimidation... this being an enemy ship and all.

Whitebeard: Seeing your face makes the scars that asshole gave me throb again.

Shanks: And here I have brought you your curative elixir.  I have no intention to fight.
	I wish to have a discussion with you.

Whitebeard: And THOSE are the words of a man who boards my ship with his "ambition" in full effect?
	You damned bastard...
	Gurararara...!!!

 - Page 76 -

Marco: Hey Red-Hair, what the hell you think you're doing?!

Shanks: Hey!  Is that Marco from the 1st Squad?  Why don't you join US?

Marco: Shut the hell up!!

Joz: Dad... Should we...

Whitebeard: Yeah... No war for now...
	Give us some privacy.
	This is West Blue liquor...
	Bet it's not very good.

Shanks: I've been around the world... but there ain't nothing like booze made from water cold enough to freeze the skin.
	It's a drink from my hometown.  Hope you enjoy it!!

 - Page 77 -

Whitebeard: Yeah...
	It ain't too bad...
	...Roger... Garp... Sengoku...
	The men who knew how the seas used to be back then have certainly dropped in number.

Shanks: It's been 22 years...
	Of course they have...!!

Whitebeard: You've certainly made a name for yourself,
	Since your days as a simple cabin boy...
	On Gol D. Roger's ship...!!!

 - Page 78 -

Whitebeard: We fought with Roger so often,
	you learn to recognize faces in battle...
	What happened to that funny guy with the red nose?  He dead already?

Shanks: ...you mean Buggy!
	Wow, that takes me back...
	We went our separate ways in Loguetown,
	on the day the captain died.  Haven't seen him since...

<<Shanks: Come with me, Buggy!!

<<Buggy: I'd rather die than work for you, jerkwad!!!

Shanks: Sometimes the grapevine turns up rumors of him still being a pirate.

Whitebeard: It passed in the blink of eye, to me...
	But plenty already speak of them as legends.
	The days of the duels between you and Hawk-Eyes,
	they are still fresh in my ears...
	When you came from East Blue,
	missing an arm... well, EVERYONE was shocked.

 - Page 79 -

Whitebeard: Who'd you lose that arm to,
	then...?

Shanks: This?

<<Luffy: Someday I'll find a crew that's even better than yours!!
	And I'll be the Pirate King!!!

Shanks: ...I bet it on the rise
	of a "new era"...

Whitebeard: Well, as long you're happy with that.

Shanks: Whitebeard... I've been through a lot of battle in my life.
	I've suffered many wounds and many scars.
	But right now...!!
	(throb throb...)
	The only one that throbs is THIS ONE...!!!

 - Page 80 -

Shanks: This one was no mark of adventure.
	It did not come at the hands of Hawk-Eyes...
	This scar was given to me
	by YOUR man, "Blackbeard" Teach...!!
	And it was not a cheap blow taken by surprise.
	Do you understand what I'm saying, Whitebeard?!
	He was waiting for his chance... He didn't take a captain's position, he didn't take the fame.
	He was spending all of his time hiding in the shadow of your name!!!
	And when he gained his power... he struck.
	Ultimately, he will seek the very top.
	Of his OWN will!!
	Eventually, he will even come to steal YOUR position!!

 - Page 81 -

Whitebeard: What do you want me to do about it?
	I assume that's why you came.

Shanks: I want you
	to stop Ace!!!
	Despite his young age, he has still been granted the position of your 2nd Squad captain.
	Ace is a strong man.  I am aware of that!!
	...but that fame and trust is only going to make matters worse.
	Now is NOT the time for those two to clash!!!

 - Page 82 -

Shanks: Leave Blackbeard Teach alone!!
	That's my only request.

Whitebeard: ...heheh...
	Gurarararara!!
	The little snot-nosed boy has learned to talk like a man!
	His crime is the most unforgivable on a pirate ship.
	"Mate-killing"!!  He has broken the cast-iron law.
	Even the biggest fool on my ships is still my son.
	And where will that poor murdered son's soul go without retribution...?!
	You can't be allowed to go your own way in this world,
	without a sense of dignity, and humanity.
	Now is it MY responsibility
	to show Teach how that works...!!!

 - Page 83 -

Whitebeard: Got that, you damned dunce?
	You'll never have the right to order me around.

Shanks: (sh...)
	Nobody will be able to stop it now...!!!
	This era is running out of control!!!

Whitebeard: Why should I be scared?!!
	I'm Whitebeard, you nitwit!!!

 - Pages 84 & 85 -

Roo: There they go!
	Is it war?!

Yasopp: Nah, Cap'n said he wasn't gonna...

Pirate: What the hell is Red-Hair doing to Dad...?!!

Marco: Hold your horses.  He ain't THAT stupid!!

Joz: But it seems their talks have broken down.
	Look at the sky.

Pirate: The clouds...
	NO... the SKY has been split!!!

[An island on the Grand Line]

Blackbeard: Hey, look!!
	An article about Straw Hat...!!
	Zehahahaha!!  That boy's really done it now!!!

Van Auger: Hmm.
	(flap...)

Blackbeard: He's taken down the Judiciary Island!!  That bounty's gonna jump again!!!

Lafitte: Speaking of Enies Lobby,
	it's famous for having the Sea Express run to it from Water Seven.

Van Auger: And it is not far from here.  Once again, fate brings us together.

Burgess: Wiihahaha!  Let's go, Captain!!

Doc Q.: That they should be within our firing range is... a pity.
	The poor, luckless fools... coff.
	Sigh.

 - Page 87 -

Blackbeard: You BET we're goin' after 'em!
	Zehahahahaha!!!
	PREPARE TO SET SAIL!!!

Doc Q.: Sigh.

Ace: Hey.

Blackbeard: Hmm?

Ace: Just a second, Teach.
	I've been looking for you...!!!

SBS Corner

D: If Cocoro-san is a mermaid, why is her granddaughter Chimney a normal human?  Don't mermaids
	pass on genetic information?		from Petit Panda
O: Cocoro-san came here from Fishman Island out of her respect for Tom-san, when she was a young
	mermaid.  She married a young human man from Water Seven, their half-fishman son married
	another human, and THEIR daughter was Chimney.  Chimney is therefore 1/4 mermaid, so
	she's a very good swimmer.  It was only her mermaid blood that helped such a little kid
	save Luffy in Chapter 403, Volume 42, as he drowned.

D: In Chapter 422, it said that Rob Lucci killed 500 hostages and took the captain's head.
	Why did he have to kill the 500 hostages?	by Wiper Is the Coolest!!
O: I know, why?  It's terrible.  Why couldn't he just kill the bad guys?  However, I had to
	shorten some things to make the pace move quicker.  Lucci is a man who believes that
	"weakness is a sin."  Therefore, if these soldiers were weak enough to be captured and
	expose the country to danger, they could do the same thing again in the future.  So he
	arrived at the answer that these weak soldiers did not have the right to live, and took
	action accordingly.  It's a hair-raising philosophy.  Thanks for beating him, Luffy!!
