So ... we see what Sai could have become if he'd read all the wrong sort of books.

 

Funniest chapter in awhile.

That Luffy, Law, Kyros and Cavendish scene was just pure gold.

 

Been a month since this was updated, but the latest chapter merits it.

The boss rush is nearly finished- everyone present has done their required awesomeness to demonstrate their latest character development.

Law and Luffy have reached Dofy, and the chapter even left off with the start of his badass boast.

The end of this arc is near, and its finally Luffy's turn to fight.

Fuck. Yeah.

Usopp really is a god.

 

"Support is glory".

Hear hear.

 

And Usopp has had more character development then 99% of Bleach characters, and more then pretty much anyone in Naruto that doesn't have a Sharingan/Rinnegan/Reincarnation power.

That's the best part of One Piece, how every character still MATTERS and still does stuff, even this far into the game. Fuck, Franky is having a dance off right now with a dude dressed as a giant baby, Robin is holding off a threat (literally), and Zoro is having fun fighting the giant stone dude.


One Piece is kinda like the Anti-DBZ, really. Goku isn't going around having to win every fight- Everyone is matched up with an appropriate opponent, everyone is forced into character development, and everyone fights.

And the boss battle has begun with an epic feint.

 

First you can go the legal route and subscribe to WSJ. The lead translator for One piece there is a guy called Steven whose really good.

Mangarule was the best(but its dead) so now you go to http://powermanga.org/(Translated by same guy who translated for Mangarule).

 

Mangastream Archive to catch up. Mangastream for the weekly releases.

 

Mangastream are not good translators. They fuck up a lot of lines for something more hip and cool.

 

To be honest, I'm only aware of mangapanda and mangastream's translations for the big three. Mangapanda's more accurate but usualyl sounds awkward while mangastream plays with the dialogue but is easier to understand and sounds more natural (and has better scans). I presumed that's what she might have meant by "nuances of speech".

 

Powermanga is 10 chapters behind and take ages to update, but I would recommend them for material they have out now. It's between Panda or Stream for quicker updates.

 

Weekly Shounen Jump alpha(WSJ), is the legal digital english distributor of all the Jump titles(magazines of manga chapters).

You can subscribe to it to get professional translations.

 

Wait, isn't the anime like not that far behind the chapters? I just looked it up and it looks like its right before the coliseum fights start.


I dunno how faithful to the manga the anime is... Was everything from Impel Down to the time skip accurate? Cuz that shit was pretty much teh greatest story arc I've ever read in a story.

 

HorribleSubs rips One Piece right from CrunchyRoll which might be what you're looking for. Official as you get without waiting for dubs (and for free.)

 

Beware of Warez talk, folks will get in trouble. Probably better to take it private if you're gonna go to that point.
